Hi everyone,

I hope everyone had a great Saturday!

SW: 200
Day/Weight/Comment
1/12 200 (today was good for eating healthily and within my range, but exercise was lacking. Zoom meetings this afternoon and evening were a bit of a drag, and now I am tired.)
1/13 199 (today was good as far as diet, but other than climbing stairs at school I didn’t get much exercise)
1/14 199 (Good day for exercise, ate some chocolate instead of nutritious food, but stayed under my calorie limit!)

Hi, I’m Christine 😊
1st Round Joining
Age 53, 5’5”
Heaviest- 345 lbs (prior to gastric bypass in Aug 2005)
Current Weight- 157.6 lbs
Goal Weight- 150 lbs (TBD)

This looks fun and encouraging! Thanks! I am looking to make new MFP friends for inspiration! Especially looking to connect with those who have had gastric bypass and struggle with regain.

This week's daily goals: 90 grams of protein, 8 cups fluid, take vitamins/supplements, chill out on the ice-cream sammiches!

1/13- Took supplements! 116 g of protein! 7 cups of fluid and 1 ice-cream sammich.
1/14- 157.0 lbs, took supplements, 94 g of protein, 7 cups of fluids and 2 ice-cream sammiches. That is one ice-cream sammich too many, but this challenge is really helping me to stay more accountable! It was bitterly cold and I didn't walk much. Had intended on doing a YouTube walking video (I really like Grow With Jo) but I had a friend over for coffee and so I ran out of time. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.😊

Back after almost a year off, lovely to see familiar names and faces! Belated happy new year to everyone 😀
Thanks, @quiltingjaine , for all your hard work to keep this running, hats off to you!

So self- sabotage got the better of me, and here I am, nearly 2 stone regained, urgh. My body aches from the extra load and my self esteem is in the pits. I'm not going to let this go on any further, I know exactly how to do it, it's easy really... just log everything, get active and stay accountable.

Round 211 Goals: Logging all food

Past Rounds

****************************************

1/13 : 165.0 Well, here goes... just trying to get back into the habit of logging everything this round and being more active x

1/14 : 163.4 Ok that's a good start. I had salty Chinese food on Wednesday night and had just got back from a flight so I probably had a lot of water weight. Also just finished totm so hormones are a bit wobbly. Didn't manage to get out for a walk yesterday. We're due rain and snow all next week so I really need to make an effort this weekend to get out. Went to the supermarket and stocked up on the type of food that I was eating last time I was successfully losing weight. I like to include things that come in individual packages like cheese portions, salami, crackers and cereal bars, alongside things that are bulky but low in calories like soups and salads. The packets are usually more expensive and lower in nutrients/ higher in salt etc but they help me to not feel deprived as they are tasty and feel a bit naughty and I am able to easily control my portions. Switched to decaf coffee recently and it's been a revelation, I am so much less anxious and am sleeping so well. I have been drinking alcohol heavily for far too long so cutting that out is going to be very hard but logging will help, as will exercise and seeing progress.

1/15 : 162.2 Back to where I was, many moons ago in round 160, my first round. Hey ho, at least that gives me a fair idea of how long it will take me to get back to where I was when I fell off the rails- about 5 months if I work hard. Yesterday was challenging as I was home alone and bored so trying not to mindlessly graze. I managed to stay within my calorie goal but still no exercise. I need a kick up the bum to get started. I struggle with self conscientious and social anxiety, so leaving the house just to go for a walk is a battle. Getting to the gym seems impossible right now, but I need to overcome this somehow for my mental and physical health to improve.

Hello all! I’m Amanda from Michigan. I set goals in 2023 to eat more fruit and veggies and fiber and to increase meditation. I’m doing well on everything but the meditation. I did very well on these 10 day challenges over the summer and fall but am facing a major health crisis this year and am just struggling to stay on track.
Good luck to all!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/12: 120.8 💪🏻⏱️ My treadmill works now!! Whoop! I did a walk+run yesterday and ran faster than I’ve ever run before. That thing is going to get some use, for sure. In the meantime, I signed up for a Peloton bike challenge that requires riding 3x per week. I’m suddenly less enthused for that! Today I have plans for a dog walk and a treadmill run.

1/13: 120.4 💪🏻⏱️ Not bad for the day after I promised my 3-year-old McDonald's for dinner! I got myself a quarter pounder with cheese (sandwich only; rethought after I asked for fries and a Coke with it) and cleaned up the kids' fries from their Happy Meals. Glad I went that route! I am already not fasting today because I made the kids bacon, eggs, and pancakes and could not resist a bacon strip. Healthy days over here!! Ah well. Tonight I'm meeting my husband a couple hours away to see our favorite band and staying in a hotel away from the kids. I'm excited but I'm sure I will overindulge. I'll try to do a Peloton ride during the workday today but I really have to get the house/instructions ready for the overnight sitter! And, yanno, do my job. Happy Friday everyone!

1/14 - 💪🏻⏱️ DNW
1/15 - 125.4, ugh. I was way off track yesterday and Friday. Glad I stepped on the scale this morning to motivate myself to stay in control today. We’ll be watching football (Go Bills!) and going to a second birthday party today so I’ll have to be careful. Hopefully I can do a workout first. It’s hard on weekends when the kids are home from daycare 😅

Day, Weight, Comment
1/12 144.2# Long 12 hour work day yesterday but I scheduled some treadmill time at the gym which is beneath the office building mid day to help shake me up a bit. Managed to good food choices. Hope to get a walk in outside later today if the weather is warm enough.
1/13 144.2# gray skies and cold here - blech
1/14 145.0# drove to gym at work. As much as I like my work I don’t like going there on my day off but needed to use the equipment.
1/15. 144.2# Happy MLK BD. God bless that man. I had a good day yesterday. My sister came by for tea yesterday and brought lemon bars. I substituted fruit for me. I haven’t had refined sugary sweets since December and don’t want to break this run just yet. We are going to fly to the west coast to see our other 2 sibs next month and I’d like to feel my best.
