@deepwoodslady
Thoughts and prayers for you

@deepwoodslady You'll be on my mind this weekend and on your surgery date. Wishing you a very smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. Hope you are able to make easy arrangements for transport. Stay strong my friend!

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.
Friday July 15 - 139.2 - I would rather it had been lower heading into the weekend, but not stressing.
Saturday July 16 - 140.2 - One pound gain. I take a break from salad or lean meat and veg on the weekends. Weight goes up, but to be sustainable long term I have to have some fun foods. I do keep it withing calorie range.
Sunday July 17 - 140.7 - I am usually "good" all week and allow myself a few indulgences on weekends. This past week could have been better, I will try harder this coming week including today.
Monday July 18 - 141.3 - I kept calories very low yesterday and got in lots of workouts. Ready for a drop.
Tuesday July 19 - 139.8 - I am wondering if sweating all day in the sun over the weekend caused me to retain some fat. Who knows. More calories out than in yesterday, so hoping for a continued loss during the work week.
Wednesday July 20 - 138.2 - Picked up some extra shifts yesterday and today, packing lots of veggies and stuff to nibble on to keep my energy up. Tired, but really happy to see a drop on the scale.
Thursday July 21 - 138.3 - I feel leaner than that. I have been at every pound between 130 and 140 a few times, and at 5'2" I feel each one. I did work late last night and the night before, so later dinners and less sleep for 2 nights.
Friday July 22 - 138.7 - Quite surprised to see a gain. I would have said that this must be as low as my body wants to go, but a year ago I was at 130.6, so I know that this isn't true. I can't eat any less or work out any more than I already am. MFP has been saying for 1 year that if I ate like that every day I would be 117 in 5 weeks. At this point I would just like to be able to fit into the clothes that I wore last summer.
Saturday July 23 - 139.5 - We had power outages so I couldn't get on here to post. I weighed using a flashlight (my scale is in the basement where I sleep with quiet and no windows.
Sunday July 24 - 140.5 - A slice of Pizza Hut pizza and 3 boneless wings. No doubt loaded in salt. Danced my fanny off at the park in the evening Saturday night
Monday July 25 - 143.3 - Yikes.
Tuesday July 26 - 141.4 - Late dinner and it will be the same all week because of my work schedule.
Wednesday July 27 - 141.3 - Eating exactly the same as I was at 130.6, perhaps my metabolism is slowing down with age? After cherry season is over I will be doing another cleanse and adding a bunch of grains to my eating plan. (no cherries allowed on that particular cleanse). Also I have company coming for 10 days soon, so won't be doing a cleanse during that.
Thursday July 28 - 140.4 - Still going to be eating 10 cherries a day while they are in season.
Friday July 29 - 139.2 - Day off yesterday, but working late the next 2. I feel like the bloating is from water. I remember being in Jamaica with my sister, getting up, putting on our bathing suits and her doing her usual telling me to drink water. I drank a glass and within 5 minutes my belly extended and became hard. Gut issues I guess if water is doing that. Yesterday being a day off I really noticed it. Hoping that a late August cleanse will sort of fix me from this. Water only so far this morning and it is swelling. Hoping to at least get back to my start weight even though there are only 2 days left of the month.
Saturday July 30 - 138.8 - Close to this month's start weight.


Start weight this month: 138.6

Start weight this month: 138.6
EW: 139.2 - gain of 0.6 - (small gain, but 7.2 over a year gain if I kept this up - maybe how I got here)

Hello again, everyone!!

My name is Ana.
I've struggled with body dysmorphia off and on throughout my life, almost always feeling very fat. There are pictures of me that prove me right, but there are others that prove me wrong.
2009 was the year in which I felt better about my physical appearance but in 2011, after my husband passed away I reached my highest weight (180 lbs). By 2018 I had worked my way to 140lbs and maintained it for 2 years. I was feeling very good even though I still had to battle with negative thoughts and avoided looking at myself in the mirror. Last year I learned that the pandemic and depression related to my father's death brought me back up to 156.4 lbs.
I gave myself a year to work on my health and even though I am not where I hoped to be, I am satisfied with my efforts. For the next year I will work on maintaining a fitness schedule and on relating to food in different ways... I want to eat to live instead of live for eating. Often times I worry I'll gain again, but it's been a month and so far it seems like I'm doing ok. Wish me luck!

07/02 131 (-0.2) I was very scared because I was 4lbs heavier at the Dr's office a few days ago. I talked to my Dr and she suggested medication to get my intestines back on track and I am hoping to be off meds in a few months, which will resolve some of the problem.

07/9: 133.2 (+2.2) Not bad. Weight fluctuates, especially close to TOM. On top of that, I've been eating 4th of July leftover all week 😅
I've tried to be careful, though and even though I don't like the gain, I'm feeling OK. I've been eating my recommended amount of calories for 3 weeks and is awesome! Once I forced myself to eat and went pass the fear of gaining weight, my life is much more enjoyable.

07/16: 130.5 (-2.7) I've planned my meals and somehow I seem to end at 1200-1300 kcal which allows me to give myself permission to have treats here and there almost every day. I am not very pleased with that. I'd rather eat those calories in nutrient dense food than treats, but that's how this week went about... Hoping the treats don't sneak on me in the upcoming weeks since vacation time is just around the corner.
Still, super happy so far with being able to maintain my weight for the past month!

06/23 : 134.4 (+3.9) I had all of my heavy meals later than usual all of last week. I also indulged a little more than usual and worked out a little less. Continuing the intestinal struggle as well.
I'm surprised I'm not freaking out with the gain😅
I have the strong feeling that most of that gain is stuck in my intestines... I know, TMI lol
I am going on vacation for a few days starting tomorrow. My plan is to walk a lot so I can eat without restrictions other than not stuffing myself. I'm feeling unusually calm. I wonder why?

06/23: 137.2 (+2.8) Feeling scared after 2 weeks of huge weight gains. I just came back from vacation so I'm hoping at least some of it is travel weight 😅
I am planning on having meals high on vegetables and lean meat so maybe that'll help?
See you all next month!

Sending love to everyone
💖

July Goals: Running 3 x per week, Body Strength Workouts, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability

7/01: 175.4 Yesterday was a running day + core workout. NSV: I ordered a dress online in an XL and Large to see which would fit best for an event this week and then decided to order the Medium just in case. It arrived last night, and the medium is the clear winner!
7/02: 175.2 Yesterday was a running day + upper body strength workout. Switched my Saturday run to Friday due to a forecast of all day thunderstorms on Saturday and had to run in the 90+heat...so miserable but got it done! And do you think it is actually thunderstorming now that it is Saturday....no!
7/03: 175.0 Yesterday was a full body HIIT workout and other than that a very sedentary day, need to move more today.
7/04: 174.7 Yesterday was a scheduled rest day but got in a good number of steps going for a walk with my husband and then out shopping. Today I hit the 20 lbs. weight loss mark & am no longer in the obese range for BMI... YAY!!
7/05: 173.7 Yesterday was a running day + full body endurance workout with weights. My meals for most of today and tomorrow are mostly out of my control (and I plan on alcoholic beverages tonight which I have been limiting while losing weight) but will do as well as I can but fully expect to see a gain when I weigh in again on 7/7 but also fully know it will come right back down when I return to my normal schedule.
7/06: (Out of town, will not be able to weigh-in) Yesterday was an upper body endurance workout before I left town and then lots of steps afterwards, hit 24,000+ for the day.
7/07: 177.0 Back home to weigh-in this morning, scale is up 3.3 lbs. from Tuesday's weigh-in. I was expecting this and know it is not a real "gain'. The important thing is I am in a place where I can have days that are indulgence days and then get right back to working on my goals without being derailed. This is a big improvement for me!
7/08: 175.6 Scale is moving back down, which is encouraging but woke up feeling sick this morning. So far testing negative for C19 & hoping it's not strep either. Going to take it easy today, no workouts, lots of fluids.
7/09: 173.8 Still sick but still testing negative so that's good news. Have head congestion, sore throat, fever, headache, body aches, chills, super weak & tired, so definitely have something but fingers crossed it doesn't last long.
7/10: 173.3 Took my 3rd Covid test today, after 2 negatives the 3rd one came back positive.
7/11: 172.6 Was able to do a tele-visit with a nurse practitioner yesterday through my state's board of health and got approved for a prescription for a Covid medicine and was able to receive it same day. Supposed to make a world of difference in recovery, hope so!
7/12: 172.6 I wouldn't say I am feeling "better" but more feeling "not as bad". Does that make sense, lol!
7/13: DNW
7/14: 172.7 It's been a week since any activity/workout...going to try a slow, short walk today (I won't be near anyone). Symptom wise, still congested, coughing, head pain, and weak feeling. I am trying to focus on the fact that I AM feeling better and not getting in my head, wondering about if I have lost the strength/fitness I had before C19 and will need to rebuild from scratch or if I just need to fully recover and I will be able to pick-up where I was before. Reality is probably somewhere in between.
7/15: 172.6 Yesterday's walk was super sloooow but felt okay. Going on another walk today and maybe some yoga if my headache will allow it. Today is my last dose of the C19 meds & last day of required quarantine. Will re-test again tomorrow.
7/16: 172.2 Went on a walk again yesterday & was a little faster than the day before, slowly my energy is returning. Planning a longer walk today to work on endurance.
7/17: 171.7 Doubled my walking distance yesterday and was back to my normal pace. By yesterday evening felt a good bit of my energy return, too. Tested negative today, YAY! but sill dealing with the cough, headache, and congestion, feel like it will be a bit before I can start running again.
7/18: 171.3 Really was feeling the heat yesterday, so stayed inside and did not get a walk in but the lingering sick feeling is ebbing away and lots more energy is returning. Stamina is not existent though, so taking it super slow as I resume normal activities.
7/19: 170.9 Was a rainy day all day yesterday but the forecast showed at break from 3-4 p.m. so went out for a walk then. Got lightly rained on but it actually felt nice. Planning to venture out to the grocery store today and actually cook something for dinner tonight. I haven't cooked a real meal in what feels like forever!
7/20: 170.2 Got in a long walk yesterday and will brave the heat again today to get another one in. Been spoiled by the lower temps this summer but it going to be close to 100 today. Staying hydrated!
7/21: 169.7 YAY! for dropping into the 160s!!!! Also just hit the 25 lb. weight loss mark. Looking forward to when I can start working out again, maybe next week.
7/22: (DNW) Woke up not feeling great this morning, took some nausea medicine and drank a glass of water 1st thing, so skipped my weigh-in because of that. Blaming the sandwich I had last night for dinner, I try to avoid gluten because of how it makes me feel but every now and again I give in to temptation. Lesson learned!
7/23 (DNW) I didn't set an alarm this morning and just let my body sleep as much as it wanted, woke up a little before 11 a.m. so didn't weigh in since it was so far off my normal weigh-in time. Plan to do the same tomorrow, post Covid I am still just so worn out. Will weigh-in again Monday morning.
7/24 (DNW)
7/25L 169.8 Rough weekend of not feeling great, stayed in bed all day yesterday. Going to try to see if I can get in a workout today, not going to push it, but feel like I need to at least try.
7/26: 169.6 Definitely a better day yesterday, feeling so much better. Got in a hot walk before the storms came in and did a posterior chain workout with weights. Need to meal plan & grocery shop today.
7/27: 169.5 Yesterday did a core/upper body workout with weights and got in a walk. Temps were much cooler yesterday which makes it all easier! I am feeling my shoulders this morning from yesterday's workout
7/28: 169.4 Slowly chipping away at my goals, every little bit counts! Yesterday was a lower body workout + a walk.
7/29: 169.4 Yesterday was a core workout + a long walk.
7/30: 169.4 Yesterday was a quick walk + upper body workout with weights. Dinner was out of my control last night, had to guess at calories to log, glad not to see a gain! Hope to finish the month tomorrow with a loss on the scale.
7/31: 169.4 Well, my scale seems to really like this number! (I think it is due to DOMS related water retention after returning to working out this week after a 2-week break, definitely feel the muscle soreness. Expecting the weight to start dropping again once that subsides.) Yesterday was a full body HIIT workout with weights + a long walk. So happy to say goodbye to the month of July, this has been a hard one but looking forward to all that August brings See you next month!

Back home tonight and back on the scale tomorrow! See you in August. Here's one more pic from my trip.

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
May start: 128.4 May end: 127.4
June results: -1.0
July goal: maintenance of 128-132

I was not going to participate this month but realized soft diet restrictions lift as of the 6th. So I know as I incorporate more food, the scales will move. Goal is still to maintain weight. I would love to get to 125, but it has taken surgery and very little food to get to 128. I am happy around 130, so I believe I will focus on maintaining and working out. Need to tighten up now.

I gained 1.4 pounds overall for the month yet still stayed within the range I set to maintain. I am pleased

Hello My name is Karey
Age: 41
Height: 5'10"
Goal: To drop 10lbs or more by 8/24/2022 and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Well this is how I finished the month of JULY!

Starting:
7/12/2022 - 275.8lbs
7/13/2022 - 273.7lbs
7/14/2022 - Stayed at a friends last night, so was not home to weigh myself this morning. However, my blood sugars have improved A LOT from being in the high 200's mg/dL now between 75-95 mg/dL
7/15/2022 - 278.9lbs - I seem to be gaining
7/16/2022 - SAME
7/17/2022 - Didn't weigh in because I felt defeated and didn't want to see the gain.
7/18/2022 - 280.2lbs - Noticed that I have been bloated and not regular so wondering if this is the cause to the rapid weigh gain.
7/19/2022 - 281.2lbs
7/20/2022 - SAME
7/21/2022 - 279.3 - Maybe we are getting somewhere LOL
7/22/2022 - SAME
7/23/2022 - No weigh in because I was starting to feel defeated again and didn't want to know my results every single day so told myself I'll give it about a week and then see.
7/24/2022 - No weigh in
7/25/2022 - No weigh in
7/26/2022 - No weigh in
7/27/2022 - No weigh in
7/28/2022 - No weigh in
7/29/2022 - 267.3lbs - OMG I must have stepped on the scale 6 times this day just to be sure something wasn't wrong with my scale LOL. Down 12.8lbs at this point.
7/30/2022 - 266.9lbs
7/31/2022 - 266.3lbs - Definitely this was a challenging month for me, but I am happy to see that things are going in the right direction. Cheers to AUGUST!
