June 18: calories ✅, protein ❌, water ✅, activity ✅. Completed my Pilates video, but man I am still struggling with diet and hitting my macros. Overall I am eating relatively healthy, I just don’t think I’m eating enough. I’m not a breakfast person so my coffee and super greens gets me to lunch and I’m good about a healthy dinner. My problem is not always getting in a lunch because of my work schedule. So that may have to be a new goal! Also open to any tips you have for increasing protein intake!

I’m Laz. 34 years old from Melbourne. 
Sub 2300 calories is a successful day.

End of June goal: Sub 95kgs/209.5kbs

June 17th: 2100 calories ✅
June 18th: 2050 calories ✅ 97.3kgs/214.5lbs. 
June 19th: 2300 calories ✅ 97.6kgs/215lbs

No results yet but only 3 days in. I know if I stick to this consistently the results will come.

Heading into the weekend is always tougher, but this is where progress is made 💪🏼💪🏼

Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Final goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME

06/18-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) I just couldn’t sleep last night. I finally fell off about 8:00 this morning and woke at noon hitting the floor running as we were going out of town to see DGS who is home now recovering from the surgery. Did shopping and dinner out while out of town also so tomorrow’s weight will be up. I will likely wait until day after tomorrow to weigh as tomorrow’s will be a disaster after travel and restaurant and (hopefully) not a true reflection of where I really am..

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊 06/19-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Today I feel bloated and just plain ol’ fat . I will work on keeping it a compliant day so that maybe I will feel more emotionally up to weighing tomorrow. At this point it just feels like weighing would do more harm than good and this challenge is designed to make things feel better, not worse. On another note:. A plumber is FINALLY coming today to check something out in the en suite bathroom so hopefully that will keep my mind busy and away from food and especially cravings that often come after a day of excess. UPDATE: DGS is doing great by the way. Oh, the resilience of children!

June 19. calories ✅, protein ❌, water ✅, activity ✅. Pilates video completed. Overall a really good day. Have a great Friday!!

Wednesday was my weekly checkin/weigh in but just getting to recording now. I've been just scattered all week and trying to get back to routine is hard.

Daily calories- yesterday

Goal- 1600 Actual NA didn't track :(

Weight
June 11 160.8
June 16 160.8
June 18 159.2

June 20- 159 - not sure when I saw that! Trying not to get too excited bc it may fluctuate back up.

What am I most proud of the last week? Not eating out over my goal! Like takeout I mean.

June goals:

** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
**Track calories every day. - The last week I tracked 2/7. Trying to improve that this week
**Stick to my calorie goals (1600)
**Eat out only 4 days a month (3/4 done)
**If I have a drink try to bring cals down to 2350 cals max. Plan 2 snacks. 1/2 times met

Hi all. Resisted temptation again - yay. Yet my weight continues to go up. I even Got out for a walk too. Was really hard though. Was alone as usual and by 8pm thinking of all the delicious chocolate, crackers and cheeses I could eat to fill the void. I sat uncomfortably thinking about the food for half an hour - thing is I’m NOT actually hungry so I had to remind myself of this fact.

Made a potato,pumpkin,lentil bake for dinner.

@ozdeelite Your meals are looking delicious and healthy. I hope you are batch cooking most of them and maybe freezing some. It may really help when you are "down in the dumps" or really busy and just don't feel like cooking but need to stay on plan. You go girl! You got this!

June 21: calories ⬇️, protein ❌, water ✅, activity ✅. Got up early yesterday before the heat got too intense and walked with a friend and then went to our local farmers market. Picked up some more veggie plants and some beautiful flowers because they are pretty and make me smile and I deserve a little something. 💐I did some planting in the yard. Calories and protein were below goal, but was in excess of water!!! It was soooo hot here yesterday. I would have thought I would have sweat the pounds off! 🤣

@ozdeelite

I also have fatty liver and an umbilical hernia. My stomach is very large (like I'm about 8 months pregnant) and the rest of my body looks small compared to it. I have always been confused with my belly because I'm also T2D and have under active thyroid. Some doctors have called my belly a diabetic belly and others have called it a hypothyroid belly. At times over the years I have felt very defeated. However, even if it's the last thing to go, I know that if I lose my weight my tummy is bound to get smaller at some point.

I know how frustrating this is. At my largest I had to wear a size 3X top just to accommodate my belly. Same with my pants. They had to be stretchy top only just to fit my tummy in, all without looking like I'm swimming in them everywhere else. All this is improving some for me. I can even wear button and zip pants now. However, I must say that I still look about 6 months pregnant and this tummy has a L..O..N..G.. say to go. Hang in there, my friend. We can get through this together. I love your meal pics and your walking pics. I wish I was there to be your walk buddy! Keep up the good work. If we put the work in, we can make it happen. It may not be as quick as it is for others that don't have the barrier of medical conditions we have, but slow is better for our skin snapping back anyway. Let's focus on the silver linings. Congratulations on taking the bull by the horns! You are back on track with diet and exercise and your win is coming! I'm proud of you!

@deepwoodslady @Tbris4 . Thanks guys. It’s really helpful to have that information and encouragement. I’m wondering if having the hernia removed may help?

Goals this week - exercise 3 days. Eat well 5 days. I’ve bought a recumbent bicycle so I can sit and pedal. Have a healthy meal plan of vegetable delights to cook for the week and am thinking of buying a magazine with puzzles to keep my brain active and to help with late night cravings.

June 21: calories ✅, protein ❌, water ✅, activity ✅. I have been bouncing around these same numbers since I returned from vacation a month ago. Overall I have been doing roughly the same things but realized my eating has transitioned to a more summer like diet which means more grilling out. I’ll need to watch this more closely and make some adjustments!

@ozdeelite

I don't share this story with just anyone because I am very ashamed of what happened. But so many of us on MFP are going through the same things so I will share with you.

Over a decade ago I was scheduled for a surgical procedure at the very best hospital in my state of Michigan. It was the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor. The surgery was to stretch my esophagus due to stricture damage caused by Acid Reflux. Just another common problem with larger overweight people, especially extra stomach weight due to the pressure on the stomach pushing up the acid into the throat. It was to be done by a gastrologist. My gastrologist thought that while I was under the anesthesia it would be a good time for another specialized surgeon to come in and fix my umbilical hernia (also caused by overweight in the stomach in my case).

Morning of surgery I am laying in the prep bed, blue hat on, IV in arm, booties on feet etc. The doctors come in to greet me prior to surgery, calm my spirits/build confidence in me and tell me what to expect. The minute the 2nd doctor walked in (hernia doc) he said "Oh, no, no, no. We won't be doing surgery on this today!" When I asked him why not he replied that my stomach was way too big. He said the surgery would require a procedure involving a Fold of some sort. Especially when laying down or sleeping my overly large stomach would typically shift from side to side and undo the fold thus undoing the surgery. He assured me that he would be happy to help me in the future if I lose weight and greatly reduce the size of my belly.

I weighed about 253 pounds at the time. I am down to the high 180's now. My lowest weight since then has been 174.4 back about 7 years ago. But even then I knew that my belly was still too big. To this day I still have been unable to have the surgery. At 174 pounds, or even 188 pounds many might be able to undergo the procedure but I know I am not one of them because of the way I carry so much of my weight in my tummy. Whether that is due to thyroid, diabetes etc doesn't even matter. I just need to have a smaller tummy that doesn't appear "pregnant". I don't know what that weight will be. I have spent many many years ashamed of this story. Ashamed that I need surgery and can't have it. Ashamed that my weight is distributed the way it is. My belly definitely looks like my mothers! We cannot chose where we lose our weight, and we cannot chose where we gain it. I know it is unreasonable that I feel ashamed. But I don't think it is unreasonable that I haven't done better with the weight loss. I'm an addict. To Food. I'm working on it. That's all I can do is work on it continually and never give up.

Of course you should probably talk to your doctor. It may be different for you. Your doctors where you are may feel differently. Medical strides may also have been made in the past decade etc. I just wanted to give you a bit of a heads up, a cushion even, if you find that you cannot have the surgery at this time.

My own weight has caused many limitations and this is just one of many. Wishing you the very best, of course!
