Day, Weight, Comment
7/6: 153.3 - it’s time to start thinking about eating in maintenance calories and upping my protein because I want to work on body recomposition. Maintenance calories scare me. Once I hit 151-152, I’ll be slowly upping my calories and watching what the scale does. Also, I’m excited to be back for my second round!
7/7: 154.1 - hormonal weight fluctuation… fun fun!
7/8: 152.9 - yesterday was a pretty good day and I’m happy with the results. I am on a roll with tracking! Maybe my best streak ever!
7/9: 152.8 - I’ll take it! I’m nervous about today because we have a dinner date and I want to enjoy it without going overboard, which is my tendency.
7/10: 153.2 - wow! This is great! I definitely ate way more than usual at the end of the night, and didn’t see a huge impact. It was very nice to feel way more in control of my eating last night since I was still tracking everything.
7/11: 152.5 - feeling great! I just changed my goal from losing 1 pound a week to losing half a pound a week, so I can start increasing calories as I work on maintenance.
7/12: 151.7 - I had no appetite yesterday, but I still made sure to get in some healthy calories and make sure I ate enough to fuel my body.
7/13: 151.7 - no change from yesterday!

07/12 ……196.6 ….. (Trend weight 201.3) No reason for the gain whatsoever except possibly sodium. Yesterday I decided to trade out my fiber count for sodium count on my MFP diary and boy was it an eye opener! I didn’t realize how much sodium is in things. Mine was way over and the main culprit was cottage cheese? Yikes….So there may be some retention today showing up. I may try an at-home test this evening to see if I still test positive for Covid. I have been sick for 5 full days including day 0 (Thursday). Still getting some phlegm but a lot less coughing. Overall, feeling a bit better, just a bit weak and dizzy at times still. Hard to tell the difference between the actual Covid right now, and the body that is fighting to get back to normal. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and doing things. I’ve just got to stay on target and not let the social stuff sway me. Don’t buckle Donna! It’s always YOU who decides what you poke into your piehole!
07/13 ……197.0 ….. (Trend weight 200.8) Another reading in the wrong direction. I have no idea why except all of this must be related to Covid. Maybe I’m on the mend soon? Yesterday I tried a little fasting but was careful to eat when I felt the glucose slightly dropping. I ended up under 1100 calories. Still not much exercise but meals were small and carefully chosen. Lack of exercise doesn’t let me burn off what I’ve eaten so maybe that is the answer? Anyway, I’m going forward with a positive attitude. I think I am firmly in Onederland with or without the virus. I’ve just got to trust the process. It has been a long time since I have been able to go this many days in a row following my diet without interruption of travel (or anything else). I’ll admit that a time or two I wanted to comfort myself after the covid diagnosis with food because “I deserve it”. But then, I quickly realized that what I really deserve is to be healthy and happy and not trapped in a sick, old, weak, tired body. I’ve been working hard on this and being sick has given me the time to focus on myself. Dieting is never easy but I’ve kept my resolve strong, worked through the cravings and planned for the hunger.

Just curious, do you eat your exercise calories? I earn around 300 a day walking. I seldom eat them. I only lose about a pound a week.3

@deepwoodslady must feel so good to have made the transition to onederland! If I were a gambling woman I would bet your body is holding onto some water due to your illness. Hope you are all better soon!6

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 229.0 A bit out of control this weekend. I broke my cardinal rule and didn’t log everything I ate and drank for three days. Especially drank. Lots of get-togethers with friends that took me out of my comfort zone. Now to get back on track, effective immediately.
7/7 227.8 Glad to see the scale start moving back down. Had a good day yesterday and hoping for a great day today even though I’m not feeling so hot physically. Meals are planned and logged; lots of leftovers from the weekend but we’ll eat them in a sensible way.
7/8 226.2 Good news – I’ve now dropped all the bloat I picked up over the holiday weekend. Bad news – I’ve also just tested positive for COVID. Going to keep drinking water and eating sensibly when I feel like eating.
7/9 224.4
7/10 225.8
7/11 223.4 The COVID struggle is real here. My husband tested positive on Saturday but we’re doing okay. Fortunately our son is over it so he can pick up food and groceries, etc. This new variant is no joke. I can tell I’m getting better, though, because I’m hungry again. 😊 Why is it that when I’m sick, all I want is unhealthy food?
7/12 224.0 Well, today’s my birthday. This round of COVID has hit me hard and I still feel awful, which stinks. My son made pancakes this morning and they’re the first thing that’s felt settled in my stomach since Friday. So maybe carbs are the answer, at least for today.
7/13 226.0 Thanks for all the birthday thoughts and well-wishes! I did indulge in carbs yesterday (including a piece of cake!) and received the expected result from the scale. But I know it’s temporary and for right now I have to do what works best for me. Feeling a bit better today, which is a huge relief.

Day/Weight/Comment
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.
7/12: 254.8 maintained but that's okay. Not much went on yesterday. Should of exercised while I had the chance too many carbs, not enough protein. Sluggish today. Have picnic today at the club with the seniors. Luckily it's within my scheduled meal and hopefully walking around will walk off the sluggish carbs from yesterday.
7/13: 254.4 – I think I need to lower my calories. It’s seems like I’m in maintenance phase and not losing phase 🤔

7/13 - 153.6 - Not much to report on. I did not get my workout done this morning as we were up late playing a game as a family. I did get the appropriate amount of sleep, though. I am sore from yesterday's indoor circuit so plan on doing some yoga or stretching today at the very least. Hopefully tonight is normal bedtime so I can get up and knock out the circuit I had planned for this morning. I've already fallen off a bit food-wise this morning but I've been absolutely ravenous. I've tracked this mornings mini-binge and tonight's dinner. I'm currently over about 40 calories. Oops! Hopefully this late-morning nom-sesh will hold me over until dinner. I'm also absolutely freezing (my hands are this horrible shade of blue/grey from the cold! And I'm in a jacket with a blanket over my lap at my desk...oof!) Will try to break even today and get my necessary movement in where and how I can. And push water since I'm also a tad behind on that as well. Maybe the shivering will burn some extra calories, too. Bahahaha

7/15 - Happy Birthday, Mama!
Previous Day's Comments7/06 - 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!)
7/09 - DNP
7/10 - DNP
7/11 - 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
7/12 - Coming back down from the weekend. Did some research. I have insomnia and circadian rhythm disorder already and I'm used to waking up with a tiny headache that will go away within an hour, but not a migraine. Calculated it out and I've been in bed for 9-10 hours! Too much sleep can also cause issues! So I naturally woke up at 4:48am this morning, stayed in bed until 5 (actually 5:02 because I lost track of time) and forced myself up rather than forcing myself back to sleep. Knocked out a nice circuit of bodyweight (pushups, squats, glute bridges), spin bike (5 min), rower (5 min) walking rest for 30-45 seconds and repeat! Even had plenty of time to cool down and stretch before my 6am alarm went off! Plus, no headache!!!! So now, I suppose, goal is bed around 9, wake up around 5. Get in workout (unfortunately too dark out in the country to get outside) to get an indoor workout. Even better, I can hop on work at about 6 and get a solid 30-40 minutes of work done so I can hit my 9 hours before 4:30pm when I need to head out to pick up BigBro without worrying about having to get back on to finish after dinner. I think I found my routine if I can manage to battle myself out of bed at 5am. Once it's routine it'll be easier for me to fathom exerting myself so early. Already set my alarms for 5am and 6am (6am is going to be cutoff time reminder so I can still cool down/stretch before driving)

Just curious, do you eat your exercise calories? I earn around 300 a day walking. I seldom eat them. I only lose about a pound a week.
Oof! Tough question. I would first ask, how are you measuring the earned calories? I used to look at some list somewhere on MFP (I don’t know where now) that was very generous with what you could earn - plenty calories for an hour of ironing or cooking or whatever.
I recently switched to linking my iPhone steps and MFP. I can real walk 4 miles a day up and down hills, as well as cooking etc and I rarely get to 200 earned calories.
So I feel pretty good about eating the meager allowance I get now, and look back with a bit of regret on the much bigger allowances I used to give myself.
But a pound a week is not ‘only’. Consistently, it is perfect.

- 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.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/6 / 164.6 / Sun is shining so I hope to take my lunchtime walk outdoors today. Also want to get on the Peloton tonight.
7/7 164.4 / Today feels like a bit of the calm before the storm. Starting tomorrow, I have a lot of corporate events for the Calgary Stampede, and in less than two weeks we're on our way to Ontario to visit Brad's family. Oh, and my brother is coming tomorrow to stay for a while too! Lots to do. I did get my long ride in on the Peloton last night and will try to ride again tonight if I can fit it in.
7/8 / 163.4 / Started my Stampede with the parade.. beautiful weather. Kevin Costner was the marshal. There was a breakfast included with our seats that was yummy. I worked this afternoon. Tonight we lay low as my husband has a Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow (his first ever!) so we are up early to go to that.
7/9 / 163 / In beautiful Longview, Alberta while my husband does his first ever Gran Fondo race to the Highwood Pass. SO PROUD! He has been unstoppable since his hip replacement. Afterwards we will go to a friend's child's birthday if he has the energy.
7/10 / 161.2 / Hoping to get two Peloton rides in, a walk, and then we have dinner out in downtown Calgary with friends.
7/11 / 160.8 / The supper last night was amazing. I had exercised a lot but it was an indulgent meal. I didn't go nuts though. Today is a very busy day - won't be home until after 11:30 p.m. Exercise will all be steps.
7/12 / 161.8 / Big day out yesterday. I worked in the office for the morning, hit a corporate tent part for the afternoon, and then my husband and I went to the Stampede grounds for a free concert. Didn't get to bed until midnight. Walked over 20,000 steps.
7/13 / 161.2 / I stayed on my best behavior at yesterday's work event (with no choice anyway since I had to drive home). Got home at a good time and did my long Peloton ride for the week.

Round # 57 for me!
SW: 355.8 (Exercise 3-4 times at least 10 minutes, goal to lose 2 to 3 lbs. each challenge, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out more than once every 10-day challenge)

7/06 355.8 2889 Tu
7/07 357.8 5284 W
7/08 355.0 3767 Th – I got in a 19 min walk
7/09 355.0 3033 F – I got in a 15 min walk
7/10 355.0 6026 S
7/11 355.0 5659 Su – Holding steady at 355 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.
7/12 355.0 4980 M – The Oprah gummies were a scam. I finally found it. I thought so. If it is too good to be true, it probably is, and I knew it. How can these people get away with this stuff! And I bet a lot of people fall for it. I had a good day yesterday at work. I have been resisting the ice cream in the freezer from 2 weeks ago. Normally I would be eating it. But not this time. Not worth the calories. I have my tasty fudge and Halo fruit bars at home. I also have some Halo ice cream too. The ice is ok but when I have a taste for the real stuff I go to my favorite place and get a scoop of it and enjoy!
7/13 354.0 4797 Tu – In the office today. Going to funeral of a friend’s son who over dosed on drugs. So very sad.

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.
