    My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days.
    Been MIA for a few months but still logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21.

    Unfortunately lost my mojo and gained a lot back but not all Thank God! Need to get back on track and focused. I bought a NEW to me, gently used, Commercial PreCor EFX 835 Elliptical. It was delivered the beginning of November, as others here know I wore my previous 10+ year old one out from my extensive workouts. Stopped using it mid November to get my Christmas shopping done earlier than my norm. I was planning to start back up a week ago but had a GI bug and very weak. I restarted today but very slow at 45 minutes and 3 miles compared to my 3 hour historical workout sessions. I will MAYBE workup to it again.

    Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
    9/14/20-255 lbs
    5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
    4/6/22- 147.6 lbs (107.4 lbs lost) I did NOT have a surgery. Did Keto.
    8/1/22- 167.2 lbs
    12/1/22-198 lbs

    1/1/23- 213.4 lbs
    1/2/23- 213.4 lbs
    1/3/23- 207.4 lbs
    1/4/23- 205.8 lbs
    1/5/23- 205.8 lbs
    1/6/23- 201.4 lbs
    1/7/23- 202.4 lbs
    1/8/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 45 minutes
    1/9/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 46 minutes
    1/10/22-201.6 lbs elliptical 47 minutes
    1/11/22-203.6 lbs Not sure why the uptick. I stayed on track yesterday with my carbs/calories. I worked today. For new people I don't workout on work days. I'm a RN and work long days. That's why I used to do long elliptical sessions on my days off. To makeup for my work days. I work 4 days/week, 10+ hours.
    1/12/23-203.8 lbs work day
    1/13/22-204.6 lbs work day
    1/14/22-205.4 lbs on call today, My Elliptical 120 minutes straight through this AM!!! 8.5 miles. Getting back up to my long sessions. Maybe I wasn't out of Cardiovascular endurance, as I thought. The previous sessions I wore a short sleeve shirt instead of a tank top as I did today again. (It's chilly in my basement.) Even though I had a fan on, maybe I just got to warm, which wore me down.

    58y/o 5'5"
    Highest weight: 131.6 (Feb)
    Feb-May Challenge: -5lbs
    May-July Challenge: -2.8lbs
    July-Oct Challenge:-2.2 lbs



    11/29 124.8 (+4.2 lbs) Yikes!
    12/6 123 (-1.8 lbs)
    1/3 128.1 (+5.1 lbs)
    1/10 127.2 (-0.9 lbs)
    1/18 128.7 (+1.5 lbs)

    I was a bit shocked and dismayed to see such a significant weight increase this week, especially since I stayed within my calorie range and worked out at the gym multiple days. Hopefully it's just water weight from a heavy "leg day" yesterday but we'll see what the scale brings next week.
