    @deepwoodslady - The news about Lisa Marie's cause of death is sad. It sounds like a rare complication. I don't know why or when she had it. Perhaps after she had her twins she was having trouble with the weight coming off? I know that after having my first child is when I had reached 188 pounds postpartum, I always gained from there with each new pregnancy, and was never able to get back under that number for the next twenty years. I had my yearly mammogram yesterday and during the physical exam, my doctor said that she can see that the scar tissue from my left mastectomy has adhered to some muscles and tendons on my chest, which is causing me some of my pain. At least my doctors can see mine - hers were somewhere where she would have needed a scan. And the pain pills she was probably taking for her pain may have been masking the intensity of her pain from the blockage until it was too late.

    @BittersweetVita Great insights on LMP. Yes, so very very sad. I am so sorry to hear about your scar tissue issues. Can it be resolved or something you have to "live with"? As a breast cancer survivor myself, I know of the many challenges we face on the day-to-day. My thoughts are with you.

    July 1: DNW - Had a girls overnight (me and my two sisters) at Foxwood Casino. A lot of fun!
    July 2: 187.4 😁
    July 3: 188.2
    July 4: 187 😁
    July 5: 186.8 😁 Had a quiet 4th of July - just hubby and me. It rained all day, but we did get in an outside walk in the AM.
    July 6: 187.2
    July 7: 186.6 - Leaving for Nashville in a couple hours. Won't be back until Tuesday AM. I'm going to go off plan and have fun - but am sure that I won't binge as much as I did in the past. Have a wonderful weekend.
    July 12: 189.6 Had a wonderful time in Nashville with family; it was fun, but not somewhere I would visit again. Too crowded for my taste; guess I'm getting old. Now back to it!
    July 13: 189.5
    July 14: 187.6 That was a pleasant surprise - Getting closer to my pre-vacation weight.
    July 15: 186.6 😁 I'm back!
    July 16: 187 - It was short lived, but expected. We were visiting my husband's 91 year old cousin and ate more than I should with no exercise. Was under my calorie limit, but the salt gets me every time.

    Hi, Everyone! I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism. I am currently dealing with sciatica and muscle deconditioning, which means I need to focus on calories in and out while I am recovering by building flexibility and strength through physical therapy. I have had a rough couple of months with my current muscle issues, losing my grandmother, losing my job, and my husband trying to recover from cervical fusion surgery, but I am grateful to have a new month to start again and keep the hope alive!

    Goals for July:
    1. Find a great new job and enjoy this extra time with my kids.
    2. Create a meal plan for myself and my family.
    3. Daily PT and walking.
    4. Organize and minimize my house and belongings.

    Weight Tracking for July:
    7/01: 190.7
    7/02: 188.5 - Surprise there.
    7/03: DNW
    7/04: 185.7 - Weight loss due to sickness.
    7/05: 188.1 - Rehydrating and eating solid food again.
    7/06: DNW
    7/07: DNW
    7/08: DNW
    7/09: 189.6
    7/10: DNW - sick last night
    7/11: 187.8 - Dehydration I believe and not weight loss.
    7/12: 186.7 - Still thinking dehydration, but will keep my eyes on this.
    7/13: 186.5
    7/14: 186.5 - Holding steady. Very interesting if this is real progress.
    7/15: 186.3
    7/16: 185.4

    @deepwoodslady - I am going to see an occupational therapist who is going to try and break up some of the scar tissue, but after 7 years, I wonder if that is quite possible?

    Hi, my name is Carol and I am 68. I have been trying to lose the last 15 to 20 pounds to get to my goal weight since January. Two years ago I started at pretty close to 200 lbs and managed to lose 22 pounds. In the course of the next year my weight went back up to 188. I have been working since January to lose again and it is going down but ever so slowly. I live in Northern Wisconsin and have been trying to be more active this summer while it is nice outside and eat lots from my garden so my diet is pretty healthy. A daily weigh in helps me to stay on track. I know that I need to drink more water and have not been very successful at establishing that as a habit. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. Starting weight in January was 188. Current weight is 184.

    @BittersweetVita Well, unrelated to my breast cancer, I can say that I have had my esophagus stretched twice (surgically) because of scar tissue caused by acid reflux (food couldn't pass and go into stomach). So relating it to your scar tissue and occupational therapy, the stretching in your therapy just may work to "bust it up". It sure helped mine! My very best to you always...

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from June 30th): 198.2
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


    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.


    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/14-196.8-(Trend Weight 196.4)-

    07/15-196.8-(Trend Weight 196.4)- No real progress due to some “iffy” choices. Good on calories but too high on carbs. I babysat all day which meant that I made lots of steps and plenty of stairs. I also added gold’s gym ankle weights to my wrists to increase my hand weights to a total of 3 ½ pounds each. That is 2 lb hand weights and 1.5 each wrist weights. I only biked for about 11 minutes because it was very late.

    07/16-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- What a great day it was yesterday until it wasn’t. I spent ALL day carefully planning and prepping my meals for the day. I cooked some pretty terrific stuff all within my macros, read another chapter in my self-help book and got in a touch of indoor exercise since we had a pretty severe storm yesterday and flood warnings. I was so in-the-groove and on top of my health and fitness goals! And then… last night I ended up in a snack fest. I binged for sure on everything in the house that wasn’t mine to have. I was too scared to look at the damage this morning. I’ll have to starve today and I know that still will not make up for it by tomorrow. It goes on fast and trickles off slowly. I’m pretty disgusted with myself this morning.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 thanks for the tip about the document. I will try that when I get home. I am up north at a cottage right now and trying to watch calories. We are cooking large meals for a big family. Lots of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Luckily, my son-in-law is very health conscious and also cooks salmon and veggies, etc.. As long as I choose carefully I should be ok. Tonight it’s my turn to cook. I’m making chicken and beef tacos for everyone. I’ll have mine with salad.

    I have to go into town and see if I can buy ground chicken. Sometimes, the choice of foods at the grocery store is limited here.
    Mind you, I saw a few , large, wild turkeys yesterday. Could be supper lol!

I was so in-the-groove and on top of my health and fitness goals! And then… last night I ended up in a snack fest. I binged for sure on everything in the house that wasn’t mine to have. I was too scared to look at the damage this morning. I’ll have to starve today and I know that still will not make up for it by tomorrow. It goes on fast and trickles off slowly. I’m pretty disgusted with myself this morning.

    07/17-198.4-(Trend Weight 197.2)- I took a peek but didn’t like what I saw. I will be doing some prep cooking today and will get in some exercise that I should have done yesterday as well. My strength training, however, is going well.
