    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!

    Jan 24: did 18 hour fasts yesterday and today and weighed in at 263 lbs! 7 lbs lost this month; if I get down to 262 this month, I will have reached my monthly goal.

    January 1: 135.8
    January 17: 133.8
    January 24: 133.8 This must go down this week. 2 pounds is not nothing for this month of trying to stop gaining weight and lose weight but I haven't been able to practice anything consistently.

    I'll treat myself to comforting foods because my period is coming up and the cramps are starting. I'll treat myself to high sugar treats because I'm on my period and I don't have an appetite for real food but I want something. I'll treat myself to treats and comfort foods because I'm recovering from the knock-down horrible 2-3 days that was my period. How do I break this cycle?

    Goal for January 31: 130.

    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!!!
    1/23/23-200.2 lbs Work day Most likely won't get back on my elliptical till Friday. I work M-Th this week.

    1/24/23-203.2 lbs

    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.
    And TGIF!!!

    01/24-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.8)- An improved diet yesterday over the soup, but it honestly could have been even better. However, I logged every BLT staying faithful to the overall process. I bought mixed nuts (with no cheap peanuts mixed in) for healthy fat/hunger control. I portioned them out in snack-sized bags to take when traveling or for home snacking but it’s a LOT of calories for such a small measured portion. Too tempting to eat more than one baggie. I don’t think I’ll buy them again as they became a “diet” food I cheated with last night. I’ll stick to the almonds that I count before I eat. They are not nearly as tempting and are more effective overall in my opinion. Family doctor today for what is usually my worst A1C glucose test of the year (after the holidays!) This appointment was required before she would give me my referral and pre-authorization to see the dietician for my diabetes. She knows how bad my glucose levels are, but I guess everyone wants to share in the dollar.


    01/25-197.6-(Trend Weight 197.8)- My A1C was 10 point something at the drs yesterday. After I heard the number 10 I just couldn’t hear anything else for a few moments. I knew it would be worse after the holidays and all! I’ve got a lot of work to do. I got my old treadmill back last night from the folks who bought my house 2 years ago. They saw me looking for one on facebook and even brought it to me. My cardiac rehab therapists are going to be very happy.

A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

    01/20 - 188.6 - Went over calories and carbs for Hubby's homemade Mexican meal.
    01/21 - 187.5 - Review time.
    01/22 - 188.5 - Healthy but heavy in carbs dinner.
    01/23 - 190.0 - Ouch. Back to where I began.

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

    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.

    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!

    Jan 24: did 18 hour fasts yesterday and today and weighed in at 263 lbs! 7 lbs lost this month; if I get down to 262 this month, I will have reached my monthly goal.

    Jan 25: 261! I was so happy to see that number! If I can maintain or surpass this loss, I will have reached my goal for the month. I never did one of these MFP challenges before and I really appreciate the accountability. Tomorrow is my bday and I will be enjoying some treats (free Starbucks and a steak dinner out with my wife) but I don’t think that will derail things.

    West Virginia girl looking to loose 30-40 more pounds. I’m 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
    Jan 21: DNW
    Jan 25: 155.8

    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!!!
    1/23/23-200.2 lbs Work day Most likely won't get back on my elliptical till Friday. I work M-Th this week.
    1/24/23-203.2 lbs Work 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

    Jan 23: 176 (Busy day at work and felt really hungry on the way home. We have lots to get done before our trip but I'm just happy I'm making time to check in on here!)
    Jan 24: 176.6 (Spent time before bed reading and had a really fulfilling sleep. I have lunch with my boss today so I won't have as much time to walk during the day, so I'll have to get some reasonable exercise tonight.)
    Jan 25: 179.4 (Definitely overate last night and was feeling bloated and off all day. For team building at work we did indoor skydiving today with pizza afterwards. A fun event and it was nice to be able to participate and not feel like my weight was a barrier.)

    January
    [x] Weighed In: 156.9
    [-] Tracked: nope
    [x] Exercise: 20 min spin plus pt
    [x] Post to MFP for support
    I have not truly tracked in many days and today I felt more out of control around food than I have in a while. I am trying to get a good night's sleep and eat in a way that better cares for my body tomorrow.
