    @deepwoodslady I'm a RN. I doubt your hernia is bigger. It could be though. But I would think you have lost some inches above it and now it just shows more. My guess.

    @swimmom Thanks for the info. You are probably right. In some pants and shirts I can see it sticking out through the fabric. It is affecting what I wear now and it's irritating. I can't wait to have it repaired!

    My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days. 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.

    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
    2/1/23- 207.4 lbs
    3/1/23- 201 lbs
    4/1/23-207.6 lbs
    4/2/23-209 lbs. I need to get my head right and be more accountable to myself in this. I need to get back in control and off the carbs again. Back to my lower level of daily carbs and FOCUSED on what is best for me! Not short term enjoyment. Elliptical 150 minutes for 10.11 miles.
    4/3/23- 206 lbs. Was really good yesterday, was under my calories & carbs and it shows. I just don't understand why I have to go SO low carb to lose.
    4/4/23- 204.8 lbs Can you tell I've been good with keeping my carbs low the last few days? Today looks to be good too!
    4/5/23- 204.8 lbs. Stuck to my plan yesterday and today. Turned down a sweet treat that our director of nursing sent to us!
    4/6/23- 203.6 lbs What a difference getting my carbs back under control. I wish my body wasn't so darn sensitive to carbs! I can't eat but a few servings of low carb veggies and not eating fruit. It's ridiculous!!!!
    4/7/23- 202.8 lbs Well it's working again, the very low carbs. Guess my head is in it again! Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.06 miles, zones 2, 3 & 4.
    4/8/23- 202.8 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4.

    4/9/23- 203.6 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4. Meat & low carb veggies for Easter lunch today but I had a piece of a Dominican Pineapple cake. OMG! Not rich and a whipped cream icing but moist as a Rum cake. So delicious! Worth the calories & Carbs IMO.

    Happy April! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married woman with four kids. Mentally and emotionally, I have been struggling. I had to transition from being a stay-at-home mom/part-time worker to working 50+ hours a week after my husband's disability and subsequent surgery. Feeling the mom/wife guilt as I have not been able to find the balance. My mom had to have a heart procedure and now her condition has lead to her needing to see if she can be a candidate for a lung, and possibly a heart and lung transplant. My dad has mitral valve replacement surgery next week. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, Early Menopause, Plantar Fasciitis, and now my hair is starting to fall out. I struggle with planning meals, overindulging in carbs, not finding time to exercise, being consistent, and needing new coping skills. I know I've had a rough time dealing with all of this, but I will keep trying.

    April Goals:

    ☔️Stretch daily
    ☔️Log food everyday
    ☔️Rugby Practices
    ☔️Take thyroid med everyday
    ☔️Increase Water Intake
    ☔️Either gain a little muscle or lose a little weight

    January starting weight: 189.4 lbs
    February starting weight: 187.3
    March starting weight: 192.1
    April starting weight: 194.6

    01: DNW - Norovirus
    02: DNW - Norovirus
    03: DNW - Norovirus
    04: DNW - Norovirus
    05: DNW - Norovirus
    06: DNW - Norovirus
    07: DNW - Norovirus
    08: DNW - Norovirus
    09: DNW - Norovirus
    10: 193.6 - Not a fun way to start off the month. Lol! I am feeling rehydrated and have my strength back, however little amount I had before I became sick. Things like this wipe my body out pretty good after my medical history. Looking forward to catching up on old friends' progress and goals for the new month and meeting some new friends!

    Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back!

    My goal for April is to lose those 4 pounds and walking 3 days a week.

    OSW: 250 lbs
    April 1: 205.1 lbs
    April goal: 201 lbs

    4/1: 205.1
    4/2: 205.7
    Went out to eat last night which I rarely do. The food seemed really salty.
    4/3: 204.8
    4/4: 204.8
    It’s been raining here for a few days and supposed to rain until Thursday. Makes it hard to walk outside but I’ve got to make myself do it!
    4/5: 206.7
    A 2 pound gain overnight. Lovely.
    4/6: 204.8 phew!
    4/7: 205.1
    I did not stick to plan yesterday.
    4/8: 205.1
    I went to a surgery consult yesterday for a large incisional hernia I have from a hysterectomy in 2018. The surgeon wants me to lose 50 pounds before she does the surgery. She suggested giving me 4 months to lose it….I laughed in her face! I can’t lose 50 pounds in 4 months! Maybe 6 months. I know I need to lose weight, it just sucks when someone else points it out. One more reason to work harder I suppose. 🫠
    4/8: 203.8
    This is nice to see. I’m still pretty bummed out by the doctor appointment as hard as I am trying to not take it personally.
    I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!
    4/9: 203.8
    4/10: 203.2
    I’m surprised I am not seeing a gain here. Yesterday was full of healthy options, I just felt like I ate too much of them. I wasn’t at home so I wasn’t able to weigh and log my food.

    @BittersweetVita Wow, you have a lot on your plate! I just finished radiation treatment for my estrogen driven breast cancer 2 weeks ago. I just started Tamoxifen on 4/4 and yeah, not fun. So tired and sore. I have to be on it for 5 years so I feel like I have to give it a very good try. I can relate with the demanding job and aging parents but I do not have any kids.
    Hang in there! I’ll be thinking of you! 🙂

    My name is Kelly. I am 52 and watch my grandkids 5 days a week. I watch 4 of them 5 days a weeks and 6 on Wednesdays so I keep busy with babies all week. They are all 3yrs and under. I weigh weekly.

    Goals for April:
    Walk for 30 minutes a day
    Log all my food daily
    Hit at least 10,000 steps each day

    SW:262
    April SW:219
    April GW:210
    GW:150

    April:
    1. Walked, logged, 10k+
    2. Walked, logged, 10k+, weight 218 :)
    3. Walked, logged, 10k+
    4. Walked, logged, 10k+
    5. Walked, logged, 10k+
    6. Walked, logged, 10k+
    7. Walked, logged, 10k+
    8. Walked, logged, 10k+, weight 214 :)
    9. Walked, logged, 10k+

    Had a really good weekend. I had 3 family parties and successfully navigated and managed all the food. I stayed right on track with my logging and came in each day with my normal calorie count! I thought about taking yesterday off with my walking and step count but decided to just do it. Very pleased with myself for making good decisions and staying on track. :)
