Day, Weight, Comment

7/11 - 184.6
I expected that since we grabbed burgers and fries on our way back mid-afternoon from my eye surgery. Then I slept the rest of the afternoon, and at a variety of definitely not weight-loss foods in the evening. I’ll move toward better eating soon. Off in a few minutes for my post-surgery check up. My vision is really a mess at the moment, with one eye full of meds (like looking through very dirty glass) and the other no longer properly corrected by my glasses. Good excuse to lie around and listen to audio books and podcasts!

7/12 - 184
My eye is a bit clearer today, but still has annoying globs of medication floating around. I can’t drive, and have trouble in bright light even with dark glasses so I’m not walking much, but I can read and knit and listen to things, so I’ll survive. 🧶📚😊 At least I haven’t had the big junk food cravings I had with the first eye!

7-13 - 183.8
I finally got out for a short walk with the pup yesterday evening, which was great. A lot of the medication has dissolved or evaporated or otherwise danced its way out of my eye this morning, so although my vision hasn’t completely cleared, I don’t have big black blobs floating around. 😁 I can see we’ll enough to drive so I’m heading over to a nearby nursery to wander around a little. I need to get away, even if it’s just 2 miles away for 20 minutes!

Hi Everyone – Looking forward to another challenge, my 5th.
Female, 5’4”, 57 years of age
HW: 210 (May, 2022)
CW: 148.6
GW: still don’t know… hope I’ll know it when I see it in the mirror… chasing a “healthy” BMI first… I suppose I should put quotations around “healthy BMI” because I have read recently that BMI is either a made-up number, or a good tool for docs to use when assessing health related to weight and height, all depending on what you read. In any event, when I look in the mirror, I know that I have fat where I should not, therefore, I need to lose more fat. Whatever my weight is at that point will be my goal.

Goals: Continue working on same goals from previous round because it seems to have worked!
Cardio: 8/10 days (only days I struggle with this are Sunday and Wednesday due to lack of time)
Bodyweight Train: 3/10 days <- The biggest struggle of mine currently. Really need to do this!
Logging Food: 10/10 days (using a food scale every time!)

SW RND 229: 148.6
7/11: 148.4 – had a very early medical test this morning… glad that is over. Work has been extra stressful these past couple of days… the kind of stress where I walk into the office and get called into 3 peoples’ offices before I set my stuff down and boot up my computer… really makes me want to stick my face into a pie or cake or something… but I’m not going to do it. I’ve come so far this last year, I have no desire to undo that hard work. Tonight, I have Zumba after work – YAY! I need to go back to RND 228 and catch up with everyone, but I hope you all are well, hugs to everyone!!
7/12: 148.2 - Phew, thank goodness yesterday is in my rear view! Still stressful at work, and now I need to have ANOTHER medical test done... Geesh. By the time I am done, I think my whole entire body's innards will have been seen by all medical professionals in this area. I am not complaining (much, well, yes, I am complaining), I know they need to check things out and I could be on the other end of this needing to see medical professionals and not being able to get an appointment. I am grateful they are taking the time to make sure I am as healthy as I can be. Take care of your liver people - no joke!
7/13: 147.7 - Ok, the stress is getting to me. It's just life stuff, just work stuff, but dang. Why why why do I feel the need to stuff these feelings down with food? I am sitting here at my computer having an internal conversation in my head, trying to be a good friend to myself... just breathe, it's all going to work out okay, you don't need that food to fix this, you will only feel worse afterward. Do you think anyone would notice if I sat here with duct tape across my mouth? I am going to write 147.7 on a big post-it note and put it in front of my face. Hugs to everyone who is struggling!!!

@clprieur - No, you are not the only person who has ever sucked at a job!!! As I tell my son, sometimes you just need a little more time to marinate before hitting the grill. He has just taken a step back at his job, but he is SO MUCH HAPPIER

He needed a better mentor, and he now has one. Doesn't mean you're stuck, doesn't even mean you sucked at the job, just means it was bad timing, poor training, lack of support etc. I hope you find you are much happier, and feel much more successful during your day!!

@Ciprieur Congratulations on getting your old job back. That is cause for celebration! No one is good at something they are so unhappy with so don't look back! Move forward with the confidence that the people in the old position welcomes you with open arms! Again, Congratulations! I'm excited for you!

Donna, @deepwoodslady

Okay. Here's my personal findings of taking only one liposomal magnesium capsule a day.

July 7 night-11 night-Taking 1 magnesium capsule
*8th daytime- no constipation, calm, some nerve tingling, tired
*8th -9th- overnight- a lot more wakefulness, no cramping, some nerve tingling, heart palpitations
*9th daytime- calm, no constipation,
*9-10th-overnight- slept well, no cramping, some nerve tingling
*10-daytime-energetic
*10th-11th overnight-slept well
*11th daytime-energetic
*11th-12th overnight-cramping in right ankle and leg-had to use transdermal magnesium spray, heart palpitations
*12th-morning-full of energy-leg is sore from cramps, no constipation, but not full elimination

**I researched the meaning of "providing elemental magnesium" in the capsule that I am currently taking the elemental magnesium is 226mg 53% of daily value. The previous brand I took had 468mg 111% of daily value, but how much did I actually absorb?
What is Elemental Magnesium

@tiabirdie56 No cramping until the end of your experiment. What are you thoughts and dosage plans going forward?

Round 229

MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 63 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
ROUND 186 FOR ME.

“Today….I am choosing Me”

MY STATS:

Highest weight ever (05-10-2016): 253
Original starting weight on MFP: (01-11-2018) 235.0
R228 EW= 194.4
R229 EW= TBD

Current New Goals:
Weight:
Short Term Goal: To weigh less at the end of this round than I did at the end of the last round.
Final goal: 145-155. We’ll see how I look & feel when I get there.
Exercise: Move 30 minutes per day rotating activity.

Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/10 …..194.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND

07/11 -197.8- (Trend weight 196.5)

07/12 -196.4- (Trend weight 196.5) Well, that weight just rushes right in but dilly dally’s off, now doesn’t it? Down 1.4 lbs today. Normally that would be good but with an overnight gain {yesterday weigh-in} of 3 ½ pounds, I’m a little pi$$ed. But I guess that’s what happens when you eat pasta for dinner and cereal for a late night snack. I earned it fair-n-square. I started the challenge 2 lbs lighter than I am today so I suppose I'm still chasing my tail. On my way back down though. ( Just trying to stay positive here.)

07/13 -195.2- (Trend weight 196.4) I’m still chasing my tail trying to get back down to my day 26 weight before the travel and nighttime binge. Making good progress though. Today is my son’s haircut appointment at my salon. I will take him to lunch afterward. This is a custom we have been doing since he was a kid. Be good at the hairdressers and you get to go out to lunch/dinner. With his autism, he is a child at heart and still expects these practices. Eating locally is usually a bit boring as it’s the same old tired menu they’ve had for the 24 years I’ve been here. I’ll either skip it or order what I know works for me. I really want to undo the damage that has already been done. Yesterday I danced for the first time in awhile. The first two songs left me a bit breathless as my heart tried to keep up, but then it stabilized. I also biked 15 minutes and did my strength training with hand weights.

I took 2 capsules last night. I had the best sleep in the past 4 nights. I'll go back to taking 2 capsules, 2 days on, one day off.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

Ate well yesterday, did a short walk. Going out for dinner tonight with a friend but no plans as to where which makes it harder to set myself up to make good choices. It's also been a tough couple of weeks and have been craving a drink, which I'm in two minds about. I've been actively cutting back on my emotional drinking and have been doing really well at breaking that habit. But as they say cravings do pass and I think I could do with the decent sleep and less calories 🤔😅

About Me:

Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. Last Wednesday, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going (especially during this trying week of my son's 13th birthday because he wants homemade pizza which is my hugest weakness and zucchini cake).

RND 229
heaviest: 294 (7/5/23)
SW: 287.8
GW (short term): 275
RGW: 285?

7/11 - 287.8 - 1.33 miles - after walking over 9 miles the past seven days, my legs are killing me. I started with a goal of 1 mile every day but quickly pushed up to 1.5+ but after three of those days in a row, I started noticing more pain and stiffness. I'm definitely overdoing it after not walking much for years (thanks chronic fatigue). I'm also getting stress pains in my shins in one certain spot on each side that I've tracked down to the way I walk while crossing over the numerous driveways in our neighborhood causing one foot to be at an odd angle. I've decided to reverse directions every other day so one side doesn't get more of a workout (also considering maybe just walking in the street but there are a lot of parked cars and a bit of traffic). As a reward for my hard work this last week, I had two mini ice cream cones for dessert today (~120 calories total).

7/12 - 287.0 - 1.07 miles - cut back on my walk today to start giving my legs a bit of a rest and tried to really focus on eating well. Had a delicious sandwich for lunch with lots of healthy stuff on the side (grape tomatoes, baby carrots and a pickle) then had extra meat with dinner and still came in under enough that I could have some popcorn if I wanted (which I'm considering as I'm finally sitting down to watch a show that caught my eye the other day... I haven't watched TV in months)

7/13 - 286.8 - 1.22 miles - a little bit longer walk but at a much slower pace. Didn't feel so worn out after. Managed to only snack on some healthy stuff (okay, there were 8 rice chips thrown in but otherwise just carrots). I feel good about today.
