07/26 - 161.3 -18,600/124. It's pretty warm here for here lol. I cooked some salmon for dinner in the airfryer, so nice to have for summer cooking but the heat has suppressed my hunger. I did eat my calories but didn't feel hungry, it's kinda weird. Sleep seemed good but my eyes seem tired this morning, could be the struggle I had with one of my contacts getting stuck in my eyelid! Have a wonderful day all!
07/27 - 159.8 - 22,000/138. Not sure where that drop came from. It's been really warm here so possible just water loss. Someone brought in my absolute favorite dessert from a local restaurant and I ate most of my piece, so good! Wasn't sure how to calculate the calories, might have over estimated but I wasn't super hungry and did have a good dinner. Will see how these 10 days and the weather go and I might up my calories again. Had a terrible sleep, will be a long day.
07/28 - 159.6 - 24,295/155. Had a late night snack as after getting ready for bed I looked at my diary and thought that my calories were 'kinda low. Had some fruit and a tiny chocox treat I got from Costco. Glad it didn't effect my sleep. I'm 52 today and will celebrate with my Parents as SO is out of town working and my boys are at a music festival and the step girls and grands live out of town. Sushi and cake, scale will jump in the morning, but it's ok I'm gonna get right back!! Not sure how walks and steps will go but I should even it out on the weekend unless SO makes it home! You can help me celebrate by not being too hard on yourselves or adding a few extra steps today!!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 351.4 – Thanks everyone for the prayers regarding my Dad. He is still fighting. He is getting weaker. We are ok, just taking one day at a time and trying to prepare ourselves as much as we can if that is possible. It is certainly possible. I can’t imagine the horror of those who have to make arrangements for love ones they lose all of sudden by means of an accident, shooting, etc. It must be so much worse. I am trying not to binge during this very grievous time which is so easy to do. I feel those urges coming back.
7/27 352.8
7/28 351.0 – I am really trying to keep my eating on point. My Dad had a good day yesterday. He opened his eyes and drank some water and soda. He ate some food all without coughing. I don’t want to get too hopeful, but they have said my dad was dying before. So, we will see and continue to pray we have a little longer with him. I have a doctors appt Monday and my goal is to be back in the 340’s by then.

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.
Thinking of you, well done for keeping positive and also focusing your mind, wishing the best for you and your Dad 🤗🤞xx6 -
@ashleycarole86 enjoy the time left to make lasting memories with your loved ones & give yourself some grace. You are a champ & you‘ve got this!4

7/24: 179.6 yes, all my work went out the window. I went on the cruise. i have wanted to go on one for 20 years, but work has stopped me. well, retirement opened opportunities and i planned my cruise. since my baby sister is turning 50 on 7/30, I invited her to go with me as a birthday gift. we were on Royal Caribbean, and visited roatan, costa maya, and cozumel (i have probably spelled every one of those city names incorrectly). i will begin keeping track of my calories again, and MUST go shopping to get healthier options in the house (the man is predictable with donuts and frozen dinners.)
7/25: 180.6 i've only been gone a week, and there's so much routine that has obviously slipped my mind. i forgot to do a morning weigh-in, so this mornings weight is after coffee and breakfast. i didn't drink enough water yesterday, need to get back to at least 8 glasses a day (hopefully more). i'm looking forward to my 173# again (even though that's not where near my goal weight)
ROUND 194
SW: 179.2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 179.2 puffy leg this morning. that's not new, and i think it may have reduced a little since yesterday. salt intake was high yesterday, i'll have to watch that. calories and macros were great! so many things to stay focused on.
7/27: 177.2 keeping up with the water is helping. leg is practically back to normal, just a little puff around the ankle. calories and macros were on point again, but sadly sodium was still a little high.
7/28: 175.8 i think all the water weight is gone... the rest is probably the actual weight i gained. i usually eat a slice of white bread w/peanut butter as a snack for the last thing i eat. it carries me through 'til breakfast. i messed up last night and missed my snack. ended up eating PB bread at 2am today, so calories will be over today, and were under yesterday.
7/29: 175.8 i'm actually quite happy to see this weight. my calories were excessive yesterday (as expected). I was sure to get my PB bread BEFORE going to bed last night. i will probably see a weight gain later in the week for my mess up.

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.

@jaccimc63 it’s probably those weekend carbs sneaking up on you. The veterans of this group @quiltingjaine & @TerriRichardson112 firmly talk about how it takes a few days for food to show up on the scale and I‘ve found that to be true.[/quote]
You are correct that it can take a few days for them to show up. I've been on this board for over 4 years and have occasionally seen the weekend carb weight hit on a Wednesday before. I've never seen my body take until Thursday for the carbs to hit. However, I am getting older and everything is slowing down, haha.5 -
This is my third round. I am 60 work full time and it took a bit for my metabolism to move . I exercise with hitt / tread mill 5 days a week. I am done 15lbs so far .

Previous days
7/26 Started to post but then got distracted by something else.
7/27 125. Was 123ish when I weighed on Sunday. Started a new strength program (Thinner, Leaner, Stronger) after not lifting for about three weeks because of vacation and then getting back into the swing of things when we got home. I can at least say that me at 125 now feels a lot different than me at 125 two years ago. I definitely feel a bit swollen/sore from my body getting used to the routine but I know in a few weeks it’ll drop a bit. I’m also trying to maintain a slight deficit to slowly lose. My goal is to lower my body fat while building muscle, so this loss will probably be slower than I’d like to see.
On a personal note, I got the job as a lead that I had mentioned a month or two ago and my first day was Monday this week. I can already tell that I’m going to like it a lot! I also start a little later in the morning so I’m going to make it a point to post each day now that I have a little bit of time when I get home from the gym.
Ps. Sorry I’ve been so missing, life just got hectic with trying to wrap up the job and us going on vacation for a couple weeks. I did pop in from time to time just to read through the posts. I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying their summer!
7/28 125 maybe less because this was after my protein shake. Worked out this morning. Today was a push day. I like how the 5 day split is a relatively quick workout too. It’s typically 4-5 exercises with 3 sets of 8-10 reps and then I add 20 minutes of cardio at the end and I still end up finishing in about an hour. For anyone interested Monday and Friday is lower body/leg day, Tuesday is upper body, Wednesday is a pull day (deadlifts plus 3 upper body/back exercises), Thursday is upper body/push day & abs (all upper body: shoulder press, chest press, triceps, and captain chair leg raises). At the end of I feel spent in a good way but not like I’m going to be dragging all day from it.
I’ve been starting each morning preworkout with a whey protein shake with 20 grams of protein and having a bit of fruit around 20 carbs worth. It’s either been blueberries, cherries, or dates depending on my mood. I find my workouts are a lot more enjoyable with some food in my stomach. Then I follow my workout with another 20 grams of protein and 50 grams worth of carbs. I then have a lunch consisting of some type of protein, veg and a small amount of fruit if I want something sweet. Then, dinner is some type of protein with veggies (sometimes starchy veg like corn on the cob) and/or salad. Although, last night we had cavatelli with sauce and meatballs and I also had a salad of fresh greens with an orange tomato plus a tablespoon of Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing (from the refrigerator section). I recently tried that dressing and it is so good! It’s only 70 calories for two tablespoons and it goes a long way because of how flavorful it is. I can’t wait to try it as a peanut noodle sauce with my fiber gourmet spaghetti for peanut noodles. Happy almost Friday!
7/29 Didn’t weigh this morning. Completed leg day and topped it off with a 10 minute stairmaster session. Had my protein shake with some dates preworkout and now sipping on the rest of my shake and pairing it with a smores probar because I’m in the mood for that. I’m looking forward to tonight because I’m meeting my coworkers from my previous program for dinner/drinks. It’ll be a slightly delayed send off for me 😊.

Round 5 for me
SW 143.2
7/26 Tu - 145.8 (dang!) - DH took treated me last night to a nice birthday dinner at an Italian restaurant. I unintentionally ordered a cream-sauce pasta, had a couple of wines, and then a beer later at night. Boy! Did it show up on the scale!
7/27 W - 145.2
7/28 Th - 145
7/29 F - 142.4 - I'm back down from the 3 pounds I gained on my birthday, but it took some work! I haven't been able to get in a lot of exercise this week, but yesterday after work, I got in a long bike ride and stuck to my food plan. It will be only red sauce from now on when eating Italian! There are plenty of good dishes that have red sauce. We will soon be leaving beautiful Southwest Florida (from a 3-week working vacation) and heading north over two days to get back home. My plan is to plan and not gain the weekend weight that I normally gain.

PW: 158
- Fri 7/29: 155.6; -2.4lbs ~ not bad.. 🙂and kind of predictable since I know I’ve been recovering from my 2-day-sushi “event” earlier in the week. I’m not sure what’s in store for this weekend though. I am going to my monthly poker game on Saturday night and usually it’s a long night full of junk food so I hope I can refrain from going overboard with the salt and carbs! My actual birthday is on Monday so no big plans which is kind of a blessing in disguise. Every year I struggle to get back on the wagon when I’m faced with back to back celebrations.

Day 80: Thurs, 7/28: 159; ok, so I didn’t see that coming. Yesterday, I ate a little bit for lunch when I fixed the grandkids' lunch; otherwise, I forgot to eat and when I was done cleaning, I was way too tired to eat. I was way over on the water, but under on my calorie intake for the day. Feeling a little deflated but, today is a new day! I will make better choices.
Day 81: Fri, 7/29: 160.0; Honestly, I was expecting worse. Wasn't feeling well last night and hubby took me out for fast food. I know better, but didn't feel like moving let alone cooking. I was WAY over on my calories for the day and way under for water. Today is a new day and I will work harder.

Additionally, I've added some info above, re: my goals. I want a smaller dress size and lower blood pressure. One of those goals is superficial, one is not. Both are important to me.

Day/Weight/Calories/Comment
7/26 - 177.6
Yesterday was my first day (evening) of IF and it was hard, since I came home hungry from two hours of tracking (read following dogs following scent over uneven ground), but I stuck it out. I know my urge to eat is mostly the bad habit I’ve gotten into, and that the first week or so will be the hardest. So all good! DHs birthday today and he wants Mexican, and cake, but that’s ok, I still won’t go over goals if I stop at 6:30! 😁
7/27 - 177.8
DH birthday finished, and not too bad—only 40 over calorie goal. Lots more salt than usual, but I can flush that out. And I did stop eating at 6:20. So day 2 of IF accomplished.
7/28 - 177.6
I went off the wagon last night—I came home from tracking around 8:30 and was really hungry and a little shaky, so I ate a piece of Dave’s Good Seed Thin toasted with natural peanutbutter. I’m not sure this IF is going to work for me, at least not every day. Maybe I’ll try intermittent intermittent fasting! 😁
7/29 - 177.6
Ate well yesterday and got two and a half hours of walking during tracking training last night. I talk about tracking so much, I thought I’d share a couple of pics of Rory tracking on Monday evening. He’s following the trail of another person—sort of like you see on cop shows, but this is a sport for titles. I hope I don’t bore you with dog pics—it’s one of my main sources of exercise, so semi-relevant!

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26 - 149 - I'm happy the weekend carbs haven't snuck up on me. Staying within plan so I hope I can maintain this loss this week.
7/27 - 148.5 - This is what happens when I weigh and track every piece of food I eat. Eventually, the weight comes off.
7/28 - 149.5 - And sometimes for no apparent reason, the weight comes back. All I can do is keep tracking.
7/29 - 149.5 - I've tracked all week so this is a little disappointing. My stepdaughter is having us over tonight for an early anniversary supper before their family leaves for home in Florida next week. I'm going to enjoy what they make and have a few drinks. I'll work on the consequences next week.

07/25 …..203.2….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
07/26 -202.8- (Trend weight 200.4) Good Luck everyone this round. May all our dreams come true!
07/27 -202.6- (Trend weight 200.4) A drop in weight after travel? Hmmmm. It’s bound to show up sooner or later so I’m bracing myself. More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!
07/28 -204.4- (Trend weight 201.0) More travel today. I hope to catch up on a couple of days’ posts later this evening.
07/29 -202.8- (Trend weight 201.2)Well, not such good news from the cardiologist. Tues test (CTA) shows 3 major blockages in the heart in 3 different arteries. This may have lead to the mysterious heart attack I didn’t know I’d had. We still don’t know how old the heart attack is since the scarring is firmly in place on two walls. So Monday morning I have emergency surgery starting with a heart cath and ending with stents in all 3 arteries. It is about 3 hours from my home and there will be an overnight stay for observation of the stents as well as glucose monitoring since I run so high all the time. They sent me over to the hospital after my cardiologist appointment for pre-ops. We are not talking about the electrical problem in the LBBB yet, she said “one thing at a time and this is a true emergency”. Until Monday I am not to exercise or walk my yard too much (inclines). Not even pick up a full gallon of milk because she said it weighs 7 pounds and that’s too much for me right now. She said I am a heart attack (#2) waiting to happen. “Just sit, rest and let’s fix this Monday.” Wow! So I am coordinating who can go with me Monday and who can come back Tuesday to pick me up. Trying not to stress but, of course, the idea of them going into my heart in multiple places to place those stents makes me very nervous. I will try to post from the hospital or at least check in on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll let you all know how I’m doing asap. Wish me luck folks! If I can’t get back to you right away, know that I will miss you all for those couple of days!

@deepwoodslady Oh Donna I was waiting to see if you posted today about what happened at the doctor! We will all be thinking of you and miss your colorful posts. I know you will but please do what the medical team instructs you and don’t worry about anything but you! I think you are with Michigan Medicine right? No better place to be for scary things like this! Sending you hugs from down state! ❤️5

@deepwoodslady I will be thinking of you & praying for a great outcome! Try to relax & have trust in your Dr until then.5

Ate well yesterday and got two and a half hours of walking during tracking training last night. I talk about tracking so much, I thought I’d share a couple of pics of Rory tracking on Monday evening. He’s following the trail of another person—sort of like you see on cop shows, but this is a sport for titles. I hope I don’t bore you with dog pics—it’s one of my main sources of exercise, so semi-relevant!
Don’t stop sharing the pics @SheilaBoneham! I miss my Aussie so, so much and Rory is beautiful. It makes me smile that you share a passion with a beautiful family member who keeps your spirits lifted and gets you moving. He’s a great example of how to take this journey with health in mind. Thank you for the smiles, we should all be so grateful.

@deepwoodslady I’m so sorry you received more bad news about your health. I’m glad they are catching this before any more serious consequences occur. You are a light and I’d personally like to see you stick around! I’ll be thinking about you. Prayers for a smooth & successful operation followed by a healthy recovery. Don’t worry about checking in, unless you are bored. Donna you spend so much time caring for everyone else. Make sure you take care of yourself in the process! Sending you the biggest virtual hug that heart can handle!4

Day/Weight/Comment
7/26: 131.6 - A little surprised by the slight drop. The day started with a lot of carbs as I was baking for an upcoming event. I was also super sleepy and tired in the afternoon, but did motivate myself enough to do both of my workouts. Dinner was a frittata to counteract all of the carbs.
7/27: 132.7 - Pizza night last night as well as some more baking to take to our new neighbors. Got my Jazzercise workout in but didn’t have much time for my normal walk other than a quick trip around the block.
7/28: 131.8 - Late workout and early-ish dinner and poor sleep. A few of my neighbor ladies and I have a crocheting get-together every week or so. Mostly it’s about the wine and the camaraderie since we’re all complete novices. We’re making the most expensive and ugly sweater!
7/29: 133.2 - Made fresh grilled salsa from tomatoes one of our neighbors gifted us. Since it contains no oil, all the calories are coming from the chips! Oh well. Got my workout in early, but had a little bit of evening snacking.

07/26 - 161.3 -18,600/124. It's pretty warm here for here lol. I cooked some salmon for dinner in the airfryer, so nice to have for summer cooking but the heat has suppressed my hunger. I did eat my calories but didn't feel hungry, it's kinda weird. Sleep seemed good but my eyes seem tired this morning, could be the struggle I had with one of my contacts getting stuck in my eyelid! Have a wonderful day all!
07/27 - 159.8 - 22,000/138. Not sure where that drop came from. It's been really warm here so possible just water loss. Someone brought in my absolute favorite dessert from a local restaurant and I ate most of my piece, so good! Wasn't sure how to calculate the calories, might have over estimated but I wasn't super hungry and did have a good dinner. Will see how these 10 days and the weather go and I might up my calories again. Had a terrible sleep, will be a long day.
07/28 - 159.6 - 24,295/155. Had a late night snack as after getting ready for bed I looked at my diary and thought that my calories were 'kinda low. Had some fruit and a tiny chocox treat I got from Costco. Glad it didn't effect my sleep. I'm 52 today and will celebrate with my Parents as SO is out of town working and my boys are at a music festival and the step girls and grands live out of town. Sushi and cake, scale will jump in the morning, but it's ok I'm gonna get right back!! Not sure how walks and steps will go but I should even it out on the weekend unless SO makes it home! You can help me celebrate by not being too hard on yourselves or adding a few extra steps today!!
07/29 - 160.8 - 14,200/80. Extra calories (cake, sushi and chips!!) and just one walk. Not too bad of an uptick but there could be more in the days ahead. Had a great day with a surprise visit from SD#1 and grandson. SO is heading home and with long weekend traffic and a major ferry to get through, he might be stuck on the other side, will see. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and any extra steps, very much appreciated!! 🌺🌼🌸

7/26 - 206.4 - I'm back! So after I lost 115+ lbs, I stopped recording weight and I've put about 12 lbs back on. Some of it is muscle for sure as I'm working out daily and my legs/arms are getting bigger but my diet needs to get better. I have a child on the way literally any day now (yesterday was due date) and I'm re-focused on being as healthy as possible!
7/27 - 206.1 - Down is down. Really trying to focus on my diet as my exercise is all there, but it's hard to not anxiety eat right now. Did 70 minutes of strength training this morning, maybe getting in a 30 minute ride tonight. No snacking today please...
7/28 - 204.4 - Just weighing myself every day and writing in here has such an effect on my habits. I go to get an additional snack or something and I think “ugh I’ll have to tell the people on MFP about it so I’ll pass.” So much of this is mental. Got a 30 minute ride in this morning and 10 minutes of core. I’ll do more strength after work.
7/29 -Did not weigh- was woken up at 3:15 when my wife’s water broke. Today May be the day!
