    January 1: 135.8
    January 17: 133.8
    January 18: 135.6 Homemade fried rice last night. I was on track with calories and nutrients to see a smaller number today until I started dinner and fried rice called to me. It was still good nutrients but I went heavy on the soy sauce and I'm not sorry.
    Goal for January 31: 130.

    Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.

    January goals:

    Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.

    Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.

    Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.

    Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.

    Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.

    January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!

    Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!

    Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.

    Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.

    Jan 16: 266 lbs! Another 16 hour fast today.

    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. :-(

    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 Interval setting, 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.
    1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles
    1/16/23-202.2 lbs work day

    Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, I am from Michigan. This is my second time on MFP. I lost 55 pounds in 2016, over the years gained it all back plus some. I started again last March with a goal to lose 110 pounds. I’ve lost 45 and would like to lose 45 more this year. It’s a new month and a new year! My goal this month is to lose 3 pounds.

    Well I can either look at this as “there’s no way I’m gonna lose another 1.5 pounds in 12 days” or can look at it like “I’m halfway to my weight loss goal for the month.” Umm…ask me later 😉

    West Virginia girl who is trying to get back to basics. I lost 50 pounds from January to October last year then fell apart, gaining 10 pounds back. I'd like to drop another 40-50 pounds this year. I'm only 5'1" so my goal weight is <120. I enjoy being active, but I also like lazy days on the couch snuggled with the dog especially in the winter months.

    Starting weight: 160.8
    Jan goal: 155

    Jan 3: 160.8
    Jan 4: 159.2 - Coming down from a large high sodium dinner on the 2nd...
    Jan 5: 158.4
    Jan 6: 157.6
    Jan 7: DNW - forgot to do it before I ate breakfast.
    Jan 8: 156.8
    Jan 9: 157.0 - Not bad for a pizza night last night. I was within calories, just a larger late meal.
    Jan 10: 157.4 - High sodium dinner, but definitely under calories yesterday so no worries.
    Jan 11: 155.6 - That's better
    Jan 12: 154.8 - Surprised it went down since I had a few beers last night. Usually they cause at least a temporary blip.
    Jan 13: DNW
    Jan 14: 155.4 - Chinese for dinner last night.
    Jan 15: 155.2
    Jan 16: 154.6
    Jan 17: 155.0 - Won't lie this is a little disappointing
    Jan 18: 154.4
    Jan 19: 156.2 - Large dinner still sticking around. Went over by ~1000cal, so pretty sure I didn't gain 2 pounds.

    01/19-196.0-(Trend Weight 198.1)- I am so so so so happy to see that 196 stuck, even without medication yesterday because of travel. It was not exactly a banner day yesterday for me. Lesson learned.

    Happy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

    01/15 - 184* - Interesting.
    01/16 - 187.5 - Thinking sodium is messing with me here.
    01/17 - 187.5 - Try, try again today.
    01/18 - 187.6 - I was not over calories by much but my meals were heavier in carbs.
    01/19 - 186.5 - That makes me feel better.
    01/20 - 188.6 - Went over calories and carbs for Hubby's homemade Mexican meal.

    @pridesabtch - I may test out raising my calories next week. I did not have much success with 1400 calories in the past, but it could have been a consistency issue.

    01/19-196.0-(Trend Weight 198.1)- I am so so so so happy to see that 196 stuck, even without medication yesterday because of travel. It was not exactly a banner day yesterday for me. Lesson learned.

    01/20-196.8-(Trend Weight 198.0)- Well….that non-banner day on Wednesday has shown up I suppose. Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.

    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 Interval setting, 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.
    1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles
    1/16/23-202.2 lbs work day
    1/17/23-200.4 lbs work day
    1/18/23-200.4 lbs work day
    1/19/23-199.4 lbs Down 14 lbs since 1/1/23. Finally back to Onederland!!!! Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes for 9.7 miles. Getting my motivation back, Thank you God!

    1/20/23-200.2 lbs Ugh! Had Ham last night and probably the next couple too. :-( Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.92 miles.

    Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.

    January goals:

    Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.

    Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.

    Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.

    Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.

    Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.

    January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!

    Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!

    Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.

    Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.

    Jan 18: 266 lbs! Another 16 hour fast today.

    Jan 19: 19 hr fast, stayed under calorie goal.

    Jan 20: 265 lbs, 19 hr fast, was super hungry today and ate over my calories.

    I'd like to drop another 40-50 pounds this year. I'm only 5'1" so my goal weight is <120. I enjoy being active, but I also like lazy days on the couch snuggled with the dog especially in the winter months.

    Starting weight: 160.8
    Jan goal: 155

    Jan 3: 160.8
    Jan 4: 159.2 - Coming down from a large high sodium dinner on the 2nd...
    Jan 5: 158.4
    Jan 6: 157.6
    Jan 7: DNW - forgot to do it before I ate breakfast.
    Jan 8: 156.8
    Jan 9: 157.0 - Not bad for a pizza night last night. I was within calories, just a larger late meal.
    Jan 10: 157.4 - High sodium dinner, but definitely under calories yesterday so no worries.
    Jan 11: 155.6 - That's better
    Jan 12: 154.8 - Surprised it went down since I had a few beers last night. Usually they cause at least a temporary blip.
    Jan 13: DNW
    Jan 14: 155.4 - Chinese for dinner last night.
    Jan 15: 155.2
    Jan 16: 154.6
    Jan 17: 155.0 - Won't lie this is a little disappointing
    Jan 18: 154.4
    Jan 19: 156.2 - Large dinner still sticking around. Went over by ~1000cal, so pretty sure I didn't gain 2 pounds.
    Jan 20: DNW

    Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, I am from Michigan. This is my second time on MFP. I lost 55 pounds in 2016, over the years gained it all back plus some. I started again last March with a goal to lose 110 pounds. I’ve lost 45 and would like to lose 45 more this year. It’s a new month and a new year! My goal this month is to lose 3 pounds.

    1/19: 203.6
    Well I can either look at this as “there’s no way I’m gonna lose another 1.5 pounds in 12 days” or can look at it like “I’m halfway to my weight loss goal for the month.” Umm…ask me later 😉
    1/20: 202.7
    This is nice, this gives me hope.

    Happy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

    01/01 - 189.4
    01/02 - 190.0
    01/03 - 190.5
    01/04 - 190.3

    01/06 - 187.6*
    01/07 - 187.8*
    01/08 - 186.5
    01/09 - 186.3*
    01/10 - 186.1*
    01/11 - 186.3
    01/12 - 185.8
    01/13 - 186.3
    01/14 - 187.4 - A few days off track and the pounds are creeping back already.
    01/15 - 184* - Interesting.
    01/16 - 187.5 - Thinking sodium is messing with me here.
    01/17 - 187.5 - Try, try again today.
    01/18 - 187.6 - I was not over calories by much but my meals were heavier in carbs.
    01/19 - 186.5 - That makes me feel better.
    01/20 - 188.6 - Went over calories and carbs for Hubby's homemade Mexican meal.
    01/21 - 187.5 - Review time.

    Review of last week tells me that I need to stay consistent. What worked for those first two weeks was that I started out the New Year sick and wasn't eating much, which helped with keeping my appetite low and being satisfied with smaller portions. I also meal planned very well. Then there were lots of changes. I started my new job which equaled a lot of stress and a lack of sleep. This past week, I did not have time to plan my lunches which resulted in eating left overs which had higher calories and carbs. My husband took over dinners, which are absolutely delicious - and over calories and carbs. I need to take this weekend to plan, plan, plan...and include my husband in those plans! Lol!

    01/21-196.4-(Trend Weight 197.8)- Pre-logging my food is really helping. In the morn (or the night before) I plan all my meals & snacks and I don’t eat until I am actually pretty hungry. Then, when I need to quickly eat I don’t just randomly grab something quick. I grab what’s pre-planned on the menu so I can still eat easily and quickly. Then, It’s like a no-brainer meal or snack and fits into my time schedule very well too. Of course, the pre-logging also makes sure that it all fits into my macros properly, and I’m pre-advised if I need an item or ingredient from the store so there are no surprises. I really LOVE how well this helps. I just need to not abandon the practice like I sometimes do. I’ve got to stay committed and focused. In the past 10 days I am down 2.2 lbs.

    01/21-196.4-(Trend Weight 197.8)- Pre-logging my food is really helping. In the morn (or the night before) I plan all my meals & snacks and I don’t eat until I am actually pretty hungry. Then, when I need to quickly eat I don’t just randomly grab something quick. I grab what’s pre-planned on the menu so I can still eat easily and quickly. Then, It’s like a no-brainer meal or snack and fits into my time schedule very well too. Of course, the pre-logging also makes sure that it all fits into my macros properly, and I’m pre-advised if I need an item or ingredient from the store so there are no surprises. I really LOVE how well this helps. I just need to not abandon the practice like I sometimes do. I’ve got to stay committed and focused. In the past 10 days I am down 2.2 lbs.

    01/22-197.4-(Trend Weight 197.8)- An uptick from yesterday. I stayed within calorie limits but carbs were too high. I made homemade chicken noodle soup so I know the noodles affected the scale. To offset I had a practically zero carb breakfast and no lunch to make up for the dinner. The snacks though were on the carby side too. No binges, no loss of control. Just a conscience choice to have soup for dinner. I am still feeling good and strong. Today’s menu will be similar to yesterday’s but I have already frozen two large portions (using it up) and had DD, SIL and DGS for dinner yesterday and they will eat on it again today so it should be gone soon. A nice treat. I don’t know if there is an egg noodle style noodle out there to substitute for next time. Last I looked (chickpea, zucchini, cauliflower etc.) was much much higher in carbs than I would have expected and would not have made much of an impact on overall carbs for the day.

    Hello all!
    My name is Ashley, 36 years old. Married with no kids, one dog, two cats.
    Original start weight: 293 (01/21)
    January start weight: 178.2
    January goal weight: 170
    Ultimate goal weight: Maintain range of 160-165

    Jan 1: 178.2 (Happy New Year! We went out with friends last night and had a little too much fun. Slow moving today. Nevertheless, I have goals to accomplish, so I'm focused on what I want to achieve today.)
    Jan 2: 179.8 (All goals met yesterday including a 7KM walk that pushed me well over my 10K min step goal. Food was tracked, water was drank, did my reading. Today is my last day of vacation before we return to the office so I'm going to enjoy every minute!)
    Jan 3: 178.4 (Up early and back to my in office routine today. Yesterday I rode the Peloton, walked, and stayed on track.)
    Jan 4: 178.2 (Handled my first day back to the office well. Got my 10K steps and stayed on track.)
    Jan 5: 178.8 (I have work lunches out both today and tomorrow that will require good planning. Last night I rode the Peloton and hit all my goals for the day.)
    Jan 6: 179.2 (Positive day given that I exceeded 12K steps. However, I was put into many different food situations, and by the end of the day I started to make poor choices.)
    Jan 7: 180.8 (Up to go hiking with my husband. Not going too far because we have dinner theatre tonight.)
    Jan 8: 180 (Worked out a ton yesterday with a hike and the Peloton because I had the energy. The dinner theatre was good - a lot of good but I made reasonable choices. I have already had a short ride on the Peloton today).

    Week 1 - Gained 1.8

    Jan 9: 180.4 (Had a very busy day today. Commuted in for a work day in the office, got home a bit later than normal, walked the dog, tag teamed dinner prep with the husband, ate a delicious salmon dinner, and vegged a bit. I leave for a two night business trip tomorrow so that's got me feeling rushed.)
    Jan 10: 179 (I travel for business today, flying for a two night overnight stay. I am hoping to do a Peloton ride first thing this morning. If I can fit a workout into the hotel tomorrow I'll be golden.)
    Jan 11: DNW (Kept my commitment to myself and hit the hotel gym for a workout before my busy day of meetings started.)
    Jan 12: DNW (Home sweet home. Really proud that I started today with another elliptical workout at the hotel. Made good choices again before flying home.)
    Jan 13: 176.6
    Jan 14: 174.2 (Back home, clearly the hard work on my business trip paid off on the scale, feeling great about that. I am on the road today and it will include a brunch with friends that's already pre-tracked. Nursing my knee that I hurt on the bike on Tuesday.)
    Jan 15: 174.6 (Someone in another group suggested Voltaren for my knee which I slathered on before bed last night, so I may try that again today. Focused on walking as my exercise yesterday and the knee is holding up fine. Today we will watch the football game.)

    Week 2: Lost 5.4

    Jan 16: 175.8 (Productive day at the office today. Got home and already had my 10K steps but the dog needed her walk so I got even more. My husband is doting on me tonight, looking after all the household chores so I have time to read and relax. He's a gem.)
    Jan 17: 176.2
    Jan 18: 177.8
    Jan 19: 176.4
    Jan 20: 176.2
    Jan 21: 177
    Jan 22: 176.6 (Not sure where the week went! My husband travelled for work and I was busy at work. One week from now we'll be in Costa Rica so there's lots to do in the next week as well.)

    Week 3: Gained 2

    MTD loss: 1.6

    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 Interval setting, 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.
    1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles
    1/16/23-202.2 lbs work day
    1/17/23-200.4 lbs work day
    1/18/23-200.4 lbs work day
    1/19/23-199.4 lbs Down 14 lbs since 1/1/23. Finally back to Onederland!!!! Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes for 9.7 miles. Getting my motivation back, Thank you God!
    1/20/23-200.2 lbs Ugh! Had Ham last night and probably the next couple too. :-( Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.92 miles.

    1/21/23-203.4 lbs. Work day, Double Ugh! The HAM! I stayed under calories. So maybe in a few days I'll have a whoosh, I hope. I Just need to stay on track. It's easier to do that when you see progress on the scale going down instead of up. But I KNOW it is the sodium. Off tomorrow so I'll have an elliptical session.

    1/22/23-200.2 lbs Off today. Elliptical Interval setting 150 minute session for 10.05 miles. Can't say enough how much I Love my new Elliptical!!!

    Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.

    January goals:

    Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.

    Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.

    Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.

    Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.

    Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.

    January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!

    Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!

    Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.

    Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.

    Jan 18: 266 lbs! Another 16 hour fast today.

    Jan 19: 19 hr fast, stayed under calorie goal.

    Jan 20: 265 lbs, 19 hr fast, was super hungry today and ate over my calories.

    Jan 21-22: didn’t weigh in or count calories this weekend. Back on track tomorrow!
