7/01 361.2 2058 – Well the end of the month (and quarter end) is over and the close was stressful, but I don’t see how I gained 3.8 pounds, but I did. My steps were down some days, but my eating was ok, not clean but under calories. Oh well, I am not going to stress about it. Just going to keep on keeping on and work on eating cleaner and do more moving

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us.
@IsMollyReallyHungry thank you so much! I was really frustrated. I love your positivity! ❤️

💬: Drank some Keifer for the first time yesterday. I think that’s what added weight. It has 8g carbs per 3/4 cup. I don’t want to waste it so I might be gaining the next few days to finish the bottle while only drinking about 3/4 cup at a time. After this bottle of Keifer and some remaining Raw cheese, going to stop eating raw cheese and whole milk keifer until hitting weight loss goals.

Round 191 ( my 123rd). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, no binges,& keep within calories.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 139.8 - 13.27 miles walked yesterday. 50% exercise calories eaten back, no binge!!
6/27 139.8 – 7 miles walked yesterday. We had a big family picnic, all my DSs. nearly all of our children & grand-children: 30 of us in all, myself the eldest & our 12 month old DGD the youngest. We try to meet up at least once per year, but this is the first time since January 2020 (mostly due to the pandemic !)
6/28 141.6 - 4 miles walked, no structured walking as precipitation each time I was not working. Chocolate monster over powered me !! Feeling bloated & fat, spare tyre is visibly inflated, need to get back under control.
6/29 139.2 – 4.78 miles walked, intended to do more, but had e-mail to advise Commonwealth Games volunteer uniform was being delivered & had to be home to accept, walk cut short to get back and wait in for it! It is a bit 'snug', I was 6lbs lighter back in October when measured up for it so now I have 29 days to lose a few pounds to make it more comfortable, going to use that as an incentive to do well over this and next 2 rounds. 8 calories over due to having to restrict planned walk.
6/30 138.8 – 8.68 miles walked, a good food day, casual work finished now until November so walking should be increasing back to normal now which will help. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
7/1 139.2 - 8.56 miles walked, all pushing 2 year old DGS in buggy. Good food choices, but all but 26 of exercise calories eaten back.
7/2 139.8 – 7.93 miles walked. Calories 112 over.
7/3 139.8 – 10.46 miles walked, whoops didn't realise I went over by 370 calories until I logged all my food this evening; need to start pre-logging again as I thought I would be under!! Attended my training for Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I shall be driving & first shift is just over 2 weeks away – exciting !!

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!

6/26: 252.6
6/27: 253.2
6/28: 252.2
6/29: 251.2 – it is great to see the loss today as I struggled very hard to stay on plan yesterday. I am finding it more and more difficult to plan and cook my meals to plan. I want to give in and get something quick, easy and very bad for me. Yesterday was a bad day from the emotional point of view but I did manage to stay on plan although my calories were somewhat higher than normal, but still OK. I was doing fine without grains (bread, pasta, rice, corn etc.), but I am now (over a month in) starting to really miss them on bad days like yesterday. Luckily, I don’t really have anything in the house so it is harder to give in to cravings! I hope that today will be better
6/30: 251.0 – Staying on plan was easier yesterday. But I am struggling with doing all that prepping and cooking of meals. Planning far enough ahead that I know what I am going to eat is difficult. But if I don’t do that, I will make poor decisions about meals. But I am still hanging in there.
7/1: 251.0 – Still the same! Doing Ok but still struggling some with all the meal prep etc.
7/2: 251.2 – I am surprised that I didn’t go up more today. I had a not so good calorie consumption and more sodium than usual. This is unfortunate as today I am set to go out to lunch with a friend so I am pretty sure that my plan may suffer. I have been looking at the menu and trying to find something that isn’t as bad/off plan. There are a few things that I could/should order. Let’s hope that I stay strong and order one of those!
7/3: 252.4 – I went out to lunch with a friend yesterday and so did not eat to plan completely and I had a margarita with added salt to the intake. I am hoping that most of this is water that can quickly come off again as we only have 2 days left.

ROUND 188
SW: 179.2
ROUND 189
SW: 180.2
ROUND 190
SW: ?6/24 176.6 back from vacation. was i stressing over gaining weight so i didn't eat as much, or was i not stress eating? kinda like that old tootsie pop commercial, "the world may never know".
6/25 175.8 don't believe everything you see. it HAS to be my scale messing with me again because everyone knows i don't lose almost a pound overnight. someday i will invest in a better scale. until then....i'm enjoying the tiny fibs it tells me every once in a while.
ROUND 191
SW: 174.4
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 174.4 i will keep accepting these lower weights my scale is spitting out, just as i will accept the higher ones when it decides to tell the truth. maybe it's all my fault, and i should change the batteries? I forgot to mention my failures that have occurred since vacation. i am ashamed to say i have had a set back in my quitting smoking. i know that i will have to get that under control as well as my eating habits. i have also failed in my walking. i will need to get motivated and include that also. i have emotional stress in my life right now, which i see an end to in the future but that will take a few months. my weeks vacation visiting with family was nothing but smiles and laughter. driving home my failures began, and i realized i must do something besides diet and exercise for myself. i will continue to recognize my failures, but i will not beat myself up over them. a slow and steady path in the right direction is what i have chosen.
6/27: 174.4 i looked up how many calories i should be eating if i am sedentary and oh lordy lordy they're really trying to starve people! i did my check in yesterday and "whoop whoop" my neck is 1/2 in thinner! wow! was that a good feeling! i still haven't gotten back to my walks outside. i did spend 3 hours walking in a circle around my livingroom yesterday, and i think i am going to start calling the time i struggle with the dog to take her medicine "my cardio workout".
6/28: 174.8 OK scale... i must weigh 174.(something). my calories were good, my macros were good. my exercise was non-existant. aaarrrgggh, i thought getting back to exercising would be easier than this.
6/29: 174 changed the batteries in my scale, and my weight remained about the same. i'm owing my scale an apology now for accusing it of lying to me. my calorie intake was super low yesterday, i wasn't feeling very hungry. maybe it was because of the migraine lurking to attack me last night, but it's almost noon time today and i still have no appetite. i was thinking earlier how great this group is. no one is judgmental and everyone so supportive. it's excellent therapy without the giant price tag.
6/30: 173.6 another day of too low intake, but again great macros. i forced myself to go for my walk yesterday. 1.9mi @3mph. when i got home i was questioning my sanity. 2 weeks without walking, last night felt like a nightmare, but i'm sure it'll get better again. i am trying to do my walks 3-4 times a week.
7/: 172.4 calorie intake was at "sustain" level, so i'm shocked to see this loss. macros pretty good.
7/2: 174.0 calories were good. it had rained all day, so i never went on my walk. weighed myself in the afternoon, after already eating. today i will be hooking up with my sister and her family. we are going to a dinner theatre so i am expecting a gain for tomorrow.
7/3: 175.4 that's a huge move in the wrong direction. i went 700 calories over my allowed amount yesterday... shameful. i will be going on a cruise in 2 weeks, i am already anticipating the work i will have to do when i get back from that.

6/29: 142.0, ok, I'm going the wrong way here and a long holiday weekend at my DD's won't help. Perhaps I should wait for round #192
6/30: 141.0 That's better, the challenge will be to keep it off over the long weekend while travelling
7/01: 141.0 holding steady, will be away from a ⚖️ for the weekend, hoping travelling doesn't do TOO much damage. 🤞

6/26 - 179.6
I know half a pound isn’t significant, but still….Ever since the doctor’s dietitian put me on that very restrictive elimination diet 4 years ago to look for sensitivities (I have none), I find it harder than it’s ever been in my life to lose weight, and oh so easy to gain. I should have known better, but the quick weight loss then was so gratifying I didn’t question it. They — especially the dietician —should have known better for sure! Ok, just letting off steam, because it’s so frustrating to find it so hard to lose when I’m sticking to my food goals. No hugs needed, I’m just venting, and I’ll keep sticking to it. Have a lovely Sunday!
6/27 - 180
Ok, whatever. I did have some rhubarb ginger crisp last night, but my overall calories were fine. I made my 26th different weekly soup yesterday—West African Peanut Soup with chicken. Really good! This soup challenge has been a lot of fun. Now to find 26 more different soups! 🍵
6/28 - 179.8
Nothing much to report! 😁
6/29 - 181.2
Whaaaa??? This makes no sense, unless I’m waterlogged. I mean, it has to be water—I didn’t gain a pound and a half overnight. Calories were fine, though fat was a bit high, and I was on my feet at dog training for 5 hours, so not exactly sedentary. I don’t get it. I thought about fibbing to you guys, but what’s the point of that? Anyway, I’m disgusted. Hoping it falls back off.
6/30 - 179.6
That’s better. And I was so glum yesterday I forget to mention Tuesday was my pup Rory’s birthday! He’s a year old now, and to celebrate, he passed his AKC Temperment and Advanced Canine Good Citizen tests and his Therapy Dog test on Tuesday, the first day he was eligible. Here he is looking all grown up.
7/01 - 180.2
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends! My dad was born in Alberta and my mom and her family immigrated to Alberta from Scotland when she was a kid; my siblings were born there, and I am eligible for Canadian citizenship by birth. Had I known that when I was younger, I would have applied. Still might! 🇨🇦
7/02 - 180.6
Ackkk. I had my typical Friday night snack attack. I don’t know what gets into me on Friday nights. Oh, well. Off for a tracking session with the pup. Maybe that will burn off a little of it. Happy Saturday!

06/30 …..DNW ….. (Trend weight DNW] After 3 days of travel sitting, a 4 hour (mostly sitting) testing window and restaurants, I did not want to see the temporary rise again, so I will weigh tomorrow and take the punches then. Hopefully it will not be too inflated by then. Heart monitor is off. Now I wait for a call from the doctor for immediate results, then an appt on July 12 for a treatment plan.
07/01 ……202.8 ….. (Trend weight 203.0) It was a very emotionally disturbing day yesterday with my daughter. I definitely am out of whack today. No TMI, no sleep last night, and extra comfort food very late, right before bed. I feel like death warmed over today. I hope I can just relax later. Today is my son’s birthday who lives with me. I will take him on an outing on another day when I can feel better.
07/02 ……202.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.2) Back in the right direction. It was a very slow rest day. Dietary=good. Exercise=none. In a bit of a funk after the argument with daughter.
07/03 ……204.6 ….. (Trend weight 203.4) And this is what happens when you accumulate fluid in your ankles and feet folks. Obviously, yesterday was not waterpill day. Today is, so I should see improvement tomorrow. Again, so hard to gauge how my actual weight is doing like this. I take my pill every other day (but not when traveling. I may miss a few and really bloat up at times). Yesterday was a great day. Stayed within calories, closed all my circles on my fitbit, took a walk and also used the stationary bike. My scale shows no increase in my fat on my body also so that is good (and an indication). I hate this guessing game.

Day, Weight, Comment
6/26: 158.2 - today is my “relaxed eating” day so I fully anticipate a gain on the scale tomorrow. I will take it because I feel great, I still tracked all of my food (a huge win for me), I still got some movement in, and I’m ready to jump into tomorrow!
6/27: 157.9 - feeling a little under the weather today, but pleasantly surprised at my weigh in this morning. I’m feeling extra hungry and a little headachy today but I had a good workout this morning so that definitely helped.
6/28: 156.9 - yesterday ended up being a great day! I was able to avoid a binge, I ate well within my calorie range, and had a good workout. I started this morning big with a workout but we have pizza every Tuesday night, so I generally expect a little gain on Wednesday mornings.
6/29: 156.9 - I stayed exactly the same as yesterday so I’m thrilled! Here’s to another day of tracking!
6/30: 155.8 - wow! Y’all today is a great day to have a great day! I am just feeling incredible this week! Tracking and exercise and water, oh my!
7/01: 154.8 - how is it already July?! I have a planned higher calorie day today so not expecting a loss tomorrow. I’ll still be tracking, and that’s always the goal for me!
7/02: 152.9 - I’m about to get my workout in for the day, and I commit to tracking all of my food today as well! I also really need to focus on water, because I didn’t have enough yesterday.
7/03: 154.6 - up a bit from yesterday. Still not enough water, not a ton of movement, and loads of salt, so I’m not surprised!!
7/04
7/056 -
I'm in for my second round! I didn't do that great the previous round (gained almost 2 pounds), but I have hope for the next 10! These challenges are inspiring and helpful for holding myself accountable.
- 6/26: 147.8
- 6/27: 147.2 - Planned meals and stuck to it yesterday
- 6/28: 145.6 - Yesterday stuck to meal plan, Peloton bike workout 30 minutes. Have a meal plan for today. Two Blue Apron meals arrive today.
- 6/29: 145 - YAY! I didn't get a workout in yesterday because I crashed on the sofa after work for a long nap but the good news is that I stuck close to my planned meals (went over a bit). I'm traveling for a few days starting today, so this will be a challenge for me. My pattern is to gain weight and go off plan when traveling.
- 6/30: ??? - Not only am I traveling, the weekend is coming up and today I was 500+ calories over goal but got in a hard 45-minute Peloton bike workout. I'll be back home on Saturday. My goal is to maintain my weight from Wednesday over the weekend.
- 7/1 Friday: ??? - Still traveling but doing pretty well sticking to calorie goals and tracking food
- 7/2 Saturday: 144.4 - Lost weight while traveling! Today, 50 mile bike ride and out and about for lunch and dinner. This is normally when I gain back the weight lost during the week.
- 7/3 Sunday: 144.4 - Maintained! Logging my food is definitely helping (along with being a little more disciplined)

6/28 – 138.6 Yesterday was a good day. I got in a 4 mile walk and ate healthy on program foods. It helps that I was busy which keeps me from snacking more than planned.
6/29 – 137.8 Yesterday was a good day. Had a glass of wine but still showed a loss.

7/3- 137.6 My weight has been going up and down for 2 lbs. I’m salt sensitive so once we go out to eat, it goes up again. Portion control is also a problem when we eat out. I’ve never been good at packing half away for later or leaving half on the plate. Tall thin husband doesn’t want to split a dinner. More things to practice.
On the good side, I walk about 4 miles a day. Walked 5 yesterday with hills. My foot is a little sore so I’ll take today off from walking.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years with amazing results!

6/26 118.5 GKI 6.4
6/27 120.5 GKI 12.7 Can sum this up in 3 words - HOT HOMEMADE BREAD!!! 2 slices buttered and Greek Salad with steak. No TMI in a couple of days Why does bread/wheat taste so good and treat me so bad(ly)??? Not worried about this bump.
6/28 120.5 GKI 13.0 Gotta give the bread away!
6/29 119.5 GKI 13.1 DH has been having balance issues for a week and is waiting for a referral. He just called to find out the statues-in the past it has taken only a few days-he was just told it takes up to 2 weeks to be processed! Meanwhile, he doesn’t like anything or anyone and yada yada. . . Sorry, it’s getting old.
6/30 118.5 GKI 6.4 “Grumpy old man” and “getting grumpy old woman” had no eating plans in place. He ate the left over egg salad and I ate the leftover piece of rib eye. Around 5 or 6 we went to In-n-Out. I got the Double Double Protein style (no bun, wrapped in lettuce) with no spread (Russian dressing) added tomato and grilled onion as well as part of DH’s fresh onion. Cal over by almost 200, total carbs 9, protein and fat both over. This weekend involves stock car races (= possible junk food) and 4th of July community “picnic.” Life is good, we have to learn to roll with the punches.

6/26 - 166.4 (-1.3) - Good to see that increase the last two days go away but surprised because of yesterday’s workout. 💧192 oz. 🥗 under 💪 1,113 Active burn 👟 12,915 ⛑ +68 (288). Weekend burn challenge continues today, bring on the exhaustion! Anticipate inflammation will cause weight to rise again before falling. See where this ride takes me.

6/29 - 163.9 (-.2) - Well the scale hasn’t been telling me at all what I expected it to but I’ll take it! Long and exhausting day, I have some catching up to do. Focused on being conservative when logging my SUP time. 💧164 oz. 🥗 under 💪 661 👟4,259 but I’m certain my arms made up for it ⛑ +22 (278).

All neighbors know me well, they are understanding and respectful of my condition…… guessing it’s the newbie’s on the block that kept shaking my windows with all the booming last night.

6/27 : 209.8 Happy for every loss no matter how small. They all add up in the end. 😊
6/28 : 209.8 I had an appointment with the orthopedist today. Looks like I will be needing a knee replacement as soon as I decide I want it. Very large patella spur as well as bone on bone. Sigh
6/29 208.8 I’ll take it. Very happy with this number, not what I thought it would be. Anything in the downward direction is wonderful.
6/30 207 Wow!! I’m thinking this is fluid loss from the cortisone shot in my knee on Tuesday. I’ve been good, but not that good. Visiting my mom for a few days so no weigh in tomorrow or Saturday.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26: 133.2 - Well, I was over in calories yesterday but did drink a ton of water and got both my workouts in, Excellent sleep for once even though I went to bed quite late.
6/27: 132.7 - Ate pretty well - balanced macros. Need to get back to not eating after 8pm though. Good workout and a dog walk (not ours - it was fun!).
6/28: 132.9 - Got my normal workouts in although I was a little tired in the afternoon. Dinner was a little heavier than usual (or I ate a bit more). Good sleep.
6/29: 134.0 - Had two social events yesterday that derailed my eating. Normal workouts though.
6/30: 134.0 - Normal workouts and cleaning out my closet yesterday. I’m now 10 pairs of shoes lighter. :-) I figured high heels weren’t really something I was going to wear anymore now that I’m retired. I also realized that all my old work shoes and clothes were black, black, and more black. I’m excited to bring more color into my outerwear and shoes.
7/1: 132.9 - Happy first of July! Hard to believe I’ve been on this MFP journey for the last 10 months and for the most part have stuck to my workouts and eating plans. Even though we are focused on 10 days at a time here, it is certainly helpful to look at the long game (both backwards and forwards) especially on those days where you gain a pound or two.
7/2: 132.9 - Went to the ball game last night with our neighbors and had a lovely time. I was worried about what ballpark food would do for my calories, but it was needless worry. When Impossible burgers cost $16 and fries are $8, you don’t end up over indulging :-). I got all my workouts in and ate well for the most part.
7/3: 132.9 - A little surprised since I ate every single calorie including exercise calories allotted. Good workouts.

Hi all,
I was taking part in these challenges regularly until 2020..... then I fell off the wagon badly!!! Now it is time to get back up, dust myself off and start all over again!!!!
My name is Michelle, originally from Ireland but living in Stockholm, Sweden. I am 41 and a mother to 3 sons plus 2 stepsons. Working towards a marathon on 30th October so I have 18 weeks to dig down and work hard!
Starting weight 104kg (19th June 2022)
My goals... there are a few... are....
1. to stick to my workout schedule
2. drink 3 litres a day, minimum (it's currently 30C here so I need to watch my hydration!)
3. Pay attention to my calories and macros (may need adjusting to take account of extra training)
Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 DNW Joining in the evening so will enter an official number tomorrow morning!
6/27 103.4kg. My target is to lose 1kg over the 10 days, so 100g a day... ish.
6/28 102.7 nice little drop.... drank 3.8 litres of water, 30 min jillian michaels workout in the morning, 30 min spin in the evening, 1 hour of gardening in my allotment, cycled to and from allotment (5km) and then to and from swedish class (3km). Cal target was 1800 but I was at 1900 at the end of the day.... but I think the extra activity allowed for it. Macros were set at 50:30:20, came in at 45:30:25. So need to increase cards a bit and drop fat! Due to cycle 28km and jog 5km today. 30C here today so water will be important!
6/29 102.6 1896cals, 28km cycled, didn't run as I just ran out of time! We were at the zoo though so got plenty of walking in! Not actually sure how much I drank as the kids kept taking my water (I like to keep my own water so I can track it!) Now 8.42 am and I've done my 5km run plus 25 min of jillian michaels (beginner shred). See what else i can squash into today!
6/30 102.4 workouts yesterday were all on point, jillian michaels beginner shred, 5km jog, cycle up to my allotment for 2 hours of weeding and moving soil, cycle to and from swedish class.
Didn't get the water in, only 2.4L, so really going to focus on that today.
Macros have been adjusted to 50:25:25 on advice of a few marathon runners... hit nearly spot on yesterday, 49:24:27. Had grabben a quick snack on the way back from my allotment (working in 30C with no water over lunch....) and it was incredibly high in fat... so this threw me out a lot! But calories were 1845 so pretty much on target!
Little drop so seems like my calculations are ok so far!!!
Plan for today is beginner shred and a 5km jog... Tom on the way so next few days will test me a bit more!
7/1 102.4 well at least it's not an up. Exercise was all good, water not great 2.5litres. Rest day today so might have a little bit extra on the scales tomorrow....
7/2 102.3 pleasant little dip. Calories yesterday were up at 2500, carbs made up 70% of that!!! Awful with water and no exercise as it was a needed rest day. 9.5km walk/ jog later and badly need to top up the water today!
7/3 102.2 quite surprised by that! Did 9.6km jog yesterday, water 3.5L, but also ate back all of the calories, although macros were pretty much perfect... did a long cycle this morning (30km) but today is a rest day from dieting (still tracking but not stressing about numbers) so will see how badly that reflects on the scales tomorrow!!!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

7/01 361.2 2058 – Well the end of the month (and quarter end) is over and the close was stressful, but I don’t see how I gained 3.8 pounds, but I did. My steps were down some days, but my eating was ok, not clean but under calories. Oh well, I am not going to stress about it. Just going to keep on keeping on and work on eating cleaner and do more moving
7/02 360.6 5005 – Happy to see I am down today.
7/03 356.8 5085 – I did not lose almost 4 pounds in a day, and I ate terrible yesterday. Not a binge but not good. My body is crazy, but I understand it. That is why I did not flip over the gains when I knew I was not going over calories. I had fried catfish today and fries. Tonight if I get hungry I will have some strawberries.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010, weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO, the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively every day. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Every day I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 / 167.8 / Yesterday I got my exercise by walking around our campground. The weather was pretty decent for most of the day. Stayed on track with my food and got a decent amount of water and the big post vacation whoosh I was expecting occurred this morning. I still have a ways to go but the worst of the bulk is gone. Today we take our friends on our boat and then head home to get ready to go back to work in the morning.
6/27 / 165.2 / Yesterday I got my 10,000 steps by walking to and from the boat while we were at the lake, and then with a final walk before bed with my husband and dog. The weather was beautiful and I had another very good day. Feeling much better as the vacation bloat clears away.
6/28 / 163.6 / Back down to my maintenance range and feeling great. Yesterday I got my 10,000 steps and did my long ride on the Peloton (60 minutes). Work was busy getting back into the swing of things and we were plagued with IT issues. Into the office today!
6/29 / 162 / Today didn't go well. I bickered with my husband before work about something trivial, and then work itself felt like a disaster. I didn't get my lunch walk (first time since I've been back, I think) and it just kept going downhill. Doesn't help when I recognize my attitude isn't helping but I can't pull out of the funk. Maybe one of the worst headspace days I've had in a while as my work stress is high and I'm letting it creep into other areas. Supposed to talk on the phone with a friend tonight so I think I'll combine that with a walk as I'm currently wasting my time I should be on the bike.
6/30 / 163.2 / Better day today. Did a 60 min Peloton ride. We are at the trailer now for three nights.
7/1 / 163.4 / Canada Day today so I'm off work. Sun is shining. Hoping to get lots of movement and lots of relaxation.
7/2 / 162 / We did get a 60 minute walk in yesterday but beyond that we were pretty inactive. The trailer is small and there was a huge thunderstorm at night so we played games and then put ourselves to bed early. Good day.
7/3 / 165.2 / Today was a food fest.. didn't go crazy but had two big events, a 75th birthday party for a friend that was at a brunch buffet and an Indian takeout for another friend's birthday. Happy with how I navigate these events now compared to before. I also got 45 minutes in on the Peloton.

⚖️: 142.0
💬: Drank some Keifer for the first time yesterday. I think that’s what added weight. It has 8g carbs per 3/4 cup. I don’t want to waste it so I might be gaining the next few days to finish the bottle while only drinking about 3/4 cup at a time. After this bottle of Keifer and some remaining Raw cheese, going to stop eating raw cheese and whole milk keifer until hitting weight loss goals.

58 YO Female. SW: 263 (5/26/2022)
Round 191 SW: 253
6/26: 252.6
6/27: 253.2
6/28: 252.2
6/29: 251.2 – it is great to see the loss today as I struggled very hard to stay on plan yesterday. I am finding it more and more difficult to plan and cook my meals to plan. I want to give in and get something quick, easy and very bad for me. Yesterday was a bad day from the emotional point of view but I did manage to stay on plan although my calories were somewhat higher than normal, but still OK. I was doing fine without grains (bread, pasta, rice, corn etc.), but I am now (over a month in) starting to really miss them on bad days like yesterday. Luckily, I don’t really have anything in the house so it is harder to give in to cravings! I hope that today will be better
6/30: 251.0 – Staying on plan was easier yesterday. But I am struggling with doing all that prepping and cooking of meals. Planning far enough ahead that I know what I am going to eat is difficult. But if I don’t do that, I will make poor decisions about meals. But I am still hanging in there.
7/1: 251.0 – Still the same! Doing Ok but still struggling some with all the meal prep etc.
7/2: 251.2 – I am surprised that I didn’t go up more today. I had a not so good calorie consumption and more sodium than usual. This is unfortunate as today I am set to go out to lunch with a friend so I am pretty sure that my plan may suffer. I have been looking at the menu and trying to find something that isn’t as bad/off plan. There are a few things that I could/should order. Let’s hope that I stay strong and order one of those!
7/3: 252.4 – I went out to lunch with a friend yesterday and so did not eat to plan completely and I had a margarita with added salt to the intake. I am hoping that most of this is water that can quickly come off again as we only have 2 days left.
7/4: 251.2 – Back down to where I was so that is good. But I won’t be anywhere near my goal for this round. Will work harder next round.

6/29: 142.0, ok, I'm going the wrong way here and a long holiday weekend at my DD's won't help. Perhaps I should wait for round #192
6/30: 141.0 That's better, the challenge will be to keep it off over the long weekend while travelling
7/01: 141.0 holding steady, will be away from a ⚖️ for the weekend, hoping travelling doesn't do TOO much damage. 🤞

Round 191 ( my 123rd). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
Goal this round is just to lose, no binges,& keep within calories.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/26 139.8 - 13.27 miles walked yesterday. 50% exercise calories eaten back, no binge!!
6/27 139.8 – 7 miles walked yesterday. We had a big family picnic, all my DSs. nearly all of our children & grand-children: 30 of us in all, myself the eldest & our 12 month old DGD the youngest. We try to meet up at least once per year, but this is the first time since January 2020 (mostly due to the pandemic !)
6/28 141.6 - 4 miles walked, no structured walking as precipitation each time I was not working. Chocolate monster over powered me !! Feeling bloated & fat, spare tyre is visibly inflated, need to get back under control.
6/29 139.2 – 4.78 miles walked, intended to do more, but had e-mail to advise Commonwealth Games volunteer uniform was being delivered & had to be home to accept, walk cut short to get back and wait in for it! It is a bit 'snug', I was 6lbs lighter back in October when measured up for it so now I have 29 days to lose a few pounds to make it more comfortable, going to use that as an incentive to do well over this and next 2 rounds. 8 calories over due to having to restrict planned walk.
6/30 138.8 – 8.68 miles walked, a good food day, casual work finished now until November so walking should be increasing back to normal now which will help. 2/3 exercise calories eaten back.
7/1 139.2 - 8.56 miles walked, all pushing 2 year old DGS in buggy. Good food choices, but all but 26 of exercise calories eaten back.
7/2 139.8 – 7.93 miles walked. Calories 112 over.
7/3 139.8 – 10.46 miles walked, whoops didn't realise I went over by 370 calories until I logged all my food this evening; need to start pre-logging again as I thought I would be under!! Attended my training for Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I shall be driving & first shift is just over 2 weeks away – exciting !!
7/4. 139.6 - a tad over 13 miles walked yesterday, just over half exercise calories eaten back.
7/5
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – Covid is still out there despite lifting of practically all restrictions, take care, remain vigilant we're still in this together!
?ﾟﾑﾍThis is NOT A DIET. It’s a PERMANENT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?ﾟﾑﾍ

Okay I’m going to try this again. I can’t seem to be consistent.
