    Hi. I'm Doro. I was on MFP a few years ago, and as I return, have discovered that I'm EXACTLY the same weight I was when I first started with MFP all those years ago. Since I've been trying to work on weight loss every single day, that is more than depressing. But here I am, trying this again to see if it'll make a difference. Both want, and need, to lose 18lbs.

    Great that you are joining us : - )

    @dorothyp3
    I hear you on that one. I lost weight before, stopped tracking my calories (figuring that I knew the amounts etc.) and gained the 50 pounds that I had lost.
    I will be tracking forever, and I am okay with that.

    I believe that it is all about nutrition and accountability, both of which MFP and forums help so much with.

    Hello My name is Karey
    Age: 41
    Height: 5'10"
    Goal: To drop 10lbs or more by 8/24/2022

    I used to weight over 400lbs and have lost over a 140lbs since I started my journey. I been on this plateau of being between 240-260lbs for years. However, within the last month I gained 20lbs and now at 275.8lbs. I am currently going through the pre-ops of bariatric surgery and have had very little success. This past week I have been working really hard to change my nutrition plan around and exercise a bit more. I been in a funk and just have not had the excitement to do better. So, I am hoping this community will be the inspiration I need to keep going even on the days I don't feel like it. Thank you for putting this together.

    Starting:
    7/12/2022 - 275.8lbs

    I am Dawn
    61 years old, 5'2"
    I joined MFP in October 2018
    I have lost around 50 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose. I was 10 pounds less at this time last year and really did feel better. Right now I don't fit into the clothes that I was wearing then. I will use that as motivation to try to reduce.

    Friday July 01 - 138.6 - Happy Canada Day : - ) I will try to keep it reasonable today after work when all of the festivities are going on. This morning shows me up 0.9 above last month's start weight.
    Saturday July 02 - 136.2 - Huh? Well, I'll take it : - ) Danced my *kitten* off at the park right near my house. We too had a big rain storm at one point and got drenched. Ran under a tree, the band temporarily stopped so we went back to my place to change clothes and went back when we heard the band start back up. We got a beautiful rainbow after all of that : - )
    Sunday July 03 - 138.4 - I went into the red a little bit (18) yesterday which rarely happens. The scale has reflected it. It is supposed to rain here for today and tomorrow, so I got all of the grass cut and stuff yesterday. Today I will pick away at indoor stuff, get the floors washed etc.
    Monday July 04 - 141.0 - Ouch
    Tuesday July 05 - 140.4 - Very late dinner last night, so hoping to see a good drop tomorrow as I anticipate a normal eating window tonight. Went to see the Elvis movie, then watched the Macy's July 4th celebration on TV.
    Wednesday July 06 - 138.6 - Okay, back to the month's start weight
    Thursday July 07 - 138.6 - Expected a big drop today, so very much activity and little food. Maybe it will take a couple of days, or maybe my body likes it best at this weight.
    Friday July 08 - 138.5 - So quick to gain, so slooowww to take off. Banner week, lots of exercise and healthy food choices. I honestly had expected a better drop. Friday night is usually when I eat something a bit more indulgent (but staying within calories). We'll see.
    Saturday July 09 - 137.7 - I did have 4 wings last night. Weekends I definitely eat a little differently. I also have more time for working out on my days off, but I don't get the steps on my pedometre that I do while waitressing during the week.
    Sunday July 10 - 138.8 - Taking the gain in stride.
    Monday July 11 - 141.0 - I don't get it : - (
    Tuesday July 12 - 139.8 - Lots of sweating in the yard after work yesterday.
    Wednesday July 13 - 138.6 - Back to this month's start weight again. Too scary to climb up into the 140s, which was my weight 2 years ago.
    Thursday July 14 - 139.5 - I weighed at 4am, so am okay with the rise.

    Start weight this month: 138.6
