Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 157.0 Bone density test this morning which should be interesting. Had to cut my treadmill workout short due to a Toastmasters meeting - 3.1 miles in 47:00 @ 3% incline with no weights. Felt a slight twinge in my right knee afterwards, the usual signal that it’s time to replace my sneakers.
7/7 156.0 Bone density results came back normal. Stayed well below calorie goal yesterday. I do better if I input my meals for the day into the food tracker ahead of time, rather than afterwards. After 6 months of weight training classes twice a week I’ve only lost a total of 4 lbs. but have gone down a size in jeans, so something is working!
7/8 155.8 Stayed well below calorie goal yesterday. Ordered new sneakers. Treadmill workout today: 4.25 miles in 65:00 @ 3% incline with no weights.
7/9 155.6 Busy day today. 45 minute interval training class this morning, Toastmasters officer training this afternoon followed by my 2nd Covid booster shot.
7/10 155.6 New sneakers arrived. Took it steady on treadmill – 4.1 miles in 65:00 @ 1.5 % incline with no weights.

7/6: 256.2 feel pretty good. I kept within my calorie goal the last two days.
7/7: 253.4 I don't know what happened, but I'll take it. I'm just hoping 🙏 I can stay within my calories tonight also. Worried because I'm feeling hungrier than usual today 😕
7/8: 254.0 went over by 200 cals yesterday. I consider it a good day because it could’ve been worse.
7/9: 253.8 I fought the late-night snacking and I WON

It was hard but YES I did it. The worse part was my hip ached all night which kept waking me making me so miserable but i wouldn't get out of bed because i was afraid I'd snack. I have an anniversary party to attend today. Wish me luck on keeping within my calories 🙃
7/10: 254.2 eh on yesterday. Party was nice. Saw lots of relatives. Was able to get Mom to go (has mild dementia). She remembered most. They were surprised/happy to see her. She is the last of my Dad's side alive. He is one of 13 and him and his brothers/sisters and their spouses are all gone. It was hard to track food I think because I didn't have all but I had a tsp of this and a tsp of that for the pasta dishes. Protein was easier. Thank God that experiment is over 😆
7/11: 254.8 hmmm I lost track of where I was

yesterday I was out helping Hubby and sister-in-law move things into storage for her, so I snacked for lunch because I didn't plan which made dinner okay but snacking kicked in after. Yuck

. Was in bed early from the lugging heavy items around and up/down the stairs. At least I got in my exercise.

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!

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Up and down - just riding the waves of life. 🌊 🏄‍♀️ (My new mantra-3/19/22)

7/6: 132.5 - Did a skeleton pre-log of things I knew I was going to eat, which helped me make better decisions earlier in the day as to what to eat. Got my workouts in and had a great sleep!
7/7: 132.7 - Extra long walk (5 miles) and an hour of Jazzercise workouts. Went to bed way too late though.
7/8: 132.7 - Had our weekly neighborhood get together on the driveway. Full crowd - it has been so nice to get to know our neighbors over the last couple of years. Normal workouts, leftovers for lunch and dinner. Sleep was a little better, but still went to bed too late.
7/9: 132.7 - Didn’t do my usual walk, but did get my workout in. Dinner was later than normal though and I went to bed really late.
7/10: 133.4 - Potluck at a retirement party - didn’t count my calories. Got my workouts in.
7/11: 135.1 - Really didn’t count my calories. Lots of carb and fats. Ate early and late and throughout the day. I have 4 days to turn this around before the end of the round.

7/11 - 155.2 - Travel and the eating out associated with that. As well as the limited (see: almost no) stops for bathroom means not enough water (water retention). Doing a bit better today getting back on track. Woke up with a horrid migraine and was nauseous from it until about an hour and a half ago. Trying to get through the work day despite the (now) throbbing headache approaching migraine territory the longer I look at the computer. Not sure what has caused it, but it's not fun. Trying to focus on healthy habits to assist my body in fixing whatever is going on. Good news is that dinners for the week are all planned out so shouldn't have a problem with planning breakfast (should I need to break my fast early) and lunch based on my calorie allowance leftover from the planned dinner. Aiming for a walk this evening with the pup for my activity and fresh air. Hopefully the migraine/headache is gone by then

Previous Day's Comments

7/06 - TOM is kicking my behind with the bloat this time around. I don't look or feel as bloated, though, but it's definitely the bloat-squish. Also finally got some TMI movement going again, but it was after weigh-in and drinking a ton of water so will wait until tomorrow to see if it helped the scale. Did wake up at the time I usually do to take BigBro to work and got a walk with the pup (1.77mi, 30 minutes. Wildlife still out roaming so she was challenging to handle at times and I was much slower than I prefer. I also struggled to get up and moving which didn't help, but now I'm glad I did). Also got 5 minutes on the rower. It's been so long and with a lumbar fusion, I don't want to go to hard or long to start off and lock up all those muscles or get too much inflammation to pinch the damaged nerve. Did that once and not doing it again. Went until I felt the muscles begin to work and tighten up, then stopped. It's been about a half hour and I'm feeling a little soreness, but no pain, which is what I aimed for. I'll work up slowly to more time/distance eventually! Did find out last night that our upright freezer isn't quite staying cold enough. Think SOME things are frozen solid, but much of it isn't, including what we pulled out for dinner last night. Ended up eating out because we didn't have anything else to make. Luckily, yesterday there were still some 4th of July sales going on and purchased a new freezer to get delivered next week (scheduled Tuesday, we'll see if that holds). Will try to sort things out today during breaks and store what's still frozen solid in the kitchen refrigerator/freezer until the new one arrives.
7/07 - Some TMI movement, TOM has finally left me alone, and now it's just me, food, exercise, and bloat to fight it out. I was absolutely exhausted this morning when my 6am alarm went off so I slept until work alarm at 7. Realized I only have Sunday to rest and relax so taking today to sleep in a bit more is worth it. Starting back next week, I have no choice but to get up and get moving at 6. Roast tonight with potatoes, carrots, and celery since I was able to salvage that from the broken freezer. Since I know we'll be eating from home, I can also take the pup for a walk after dinner and once it's cooled to get some activity in. Also knowing dinner, I can plan better for lunch. Attempting to fast as long as I can. I did put collagen protein in my coffee to help with the transition back into fasting. 1/2 serving is 35 calories so not a TRUE fast, but it's small enough and will help hold off on solid foods.
7/08 - Slowly dropping down. Food wasn't great as I ate back all of my exercise calories. Also tried a 3-ingredient peanut butter cookie (BF's fave and only cookie he'll eat) and they turned out great! So added unexpected calories for taste test before I fed it to anybody else. Fortunately it cooled off enough that the pup and I walked 2.5 miles to go get our mail, versus driving to get it. Initially I forgot my plan to get mail and started the opposite direction so by the end, it was 38 minutes so I decided to keep going to 45 minutes to hit a new "badge" on my company's wellness app and coincidently right at 2.5 miles (we can earn daily points to accumulate to $$ back on our paycheck. I can earn up to $200 back so it's a nice motivation. In the 2 weeks I've had this, I've earned $5! Halfway to earning $10 already as of last night's walk). Slept in this morning as I was, once again, so sleepy. Plus my brain initially went to the 330/4am morning I have tomorrow and that isn't a good motivation to get up. Plus, my calves are noticeably sore from the hills! Glad we did it, though, as the scale rewarded me with a drop despite the food factor. I will likely weigh in morning, but not post as I'll be driving all day. Sunday will be hit or miss, depending on what we're doing. Not sure plans for tonight, to include dinner, so I'll have leftover roast for lunch since it has a good amount of protein and I'll stock up on the veggies (BF won't eat leftovers so this is all for me!)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

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.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Bad day. My dog hurt her paw pads running on stones and so could not walk with me. It felt so wrong to go out and leave her sad and limping at home. Work was stressy. Family kept interrupting - WFH is so not nirvana. I gave up and ate junk.

My weekend was OK, not the best but I managed to maintain and I did lose 1.8 lbs. on Sunday which is my official weigh in day. I finally learned how to use the happy scale on my iPad to read my weight trend. Really neat. Has anyone read about the new gummy out from Oprah? Interesting. I already take an apple cider pill from Costco because I do not like the juice. I was so tempted to order it. But I never like ordering from places you can not call so I didn’t go against my rule.

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.

In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.

In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs

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!"

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.

Hello! Brand-newbie here posting for the very first time ever. I just ran across this challenge and had it "speak" to me ... I started MFP on 7/6! I'm not 100% sure how to do this, but I will follow everyone's lead. I've been stepping on the scale since the beginning, so I can at least share that data.

Welcome! I'm not new to MFP but am new to finding this group as well. This is my second round. Tracking food plus this10-day challenge (and a couple others) has been working for me. The added bonus is being part of the group. There's a lot of support and I've learned tips from others.
