May 17th check in Weight gain with carb-loading was expected. Half marathon tomorrow morning. Back into weight loss mode on the 19th.

May 15th Total five pounds up. Three more days of carb load to go. Race day on the 18th.

May 13th Monday check in: Back up a pound and being honest as I carb load this week. Crazy day of food: Calories 1671 - protein 147 - carbs 161- fats 54

I do feel for anyone who has had complications of any kind. Glad you had a revision and are doing well. Thanks for giving perspective on your experience. My response here is not going to be popular. I have compassion for anyone with complications or struggles with weight gain. Age, sex, medical issues, complications,…

May 8th My disclaimer – I’m five years out. I’m not suggesting anyone to work their plan as I do. Especially in weight loss mode. Check in: surprised to see 1 pound down. I started adding carbs after low blood sugars during a 8.5 mile run. I’m amazed how many calories and how much volume I can hold with the sleeve. 1766…

I’m the same. Grazing is something I keep an eye on. I’ve learned to eat five/six small meals a day (in my calorie/macros range) It keeps my blood sugars level and helps my hunger level. I give it up to people that can maintain with ease. It’s just not my situation.

Only my opinion on stretching (it’s rare) get it diagnosed by a surgeon. Get counseling to address over eating to the point of stretching before having a second surgery. Grazing gets confused with stretching. It’s easy to eat around your surgery. Grazing is eating several small meals (healthy and unhealthy choices) that…

May 6th no change in weight. Last weekend party at my place. My food was good but, I did have peach sparkling wine. I have a marathon run on the 18th. I start carb loading on the 11th. (I forgot all about this when I made my goal this month of 5 pounds down) Carbs are instant gain for me. I will be honest and post how much…

May 3rd Joining the challenge. May’s weight goal is five pounds down for this month. Food: Log, be accountable and stay within my calories and macros. Still working on letting a small weight loss give me an excuse to eat and rebound. I need to up my hydration. (Leg cramps last night) Exercise: I committed to a running…

April 30th 6 pounds down I’m chasing weight up and down and not really getting anywhere. I need to stop looking at a few pounds lost as an excuse to eat. I’m determined to get to a maintaining weight I’m comfortable with.

Day 27 check in – 5 pounds down. Hope it will break soon. I’ve had two days that I Let bread slip in. (night snacking) It slows/stops my weight loss. I bought a lovely summer dress. The thought of showing skin in the hot weather is motivating me to get my weight down. Still working on some old behaviors, I posted the quote…

Day 22 checking in 5 pounds down this month. I lost the weight that I gained on my last check in. It’s ridiculous how fast my weight can go up with a few days of bad choices. My trend is going off plan, then working my butt off to get it back down. Chasing the same pounds up and down. I’m my own worst enemy at times.

Day 17. I have gained and I’m owning it. Not giving up.

Day 14 checking in. Still at four pounds down. Off to the gym this morning. Commitment to cook and try new recipes: I have cooked a few new recipes but, I fall back to my standard boring foods when I’m on the run. It’s a work in progress. Staying on track: Staying consistent is becoming easier. I’m getting past feeling…

Glad you were there for your friend and her daughter. This is a lot of emotions for all of you. It’s so easy for stress/emotional eating to slip back in. We understand the struggle.

4 down. Hope its not all water weight.

Feeling pretty good today. Finding my weight loss mojo. Commitment to make flavorful healthy food and get out of my food rut. (stay on plan) I found wing sauce packets at Walmart. I coated pork chops with parmesan garlic wing sauce. It was wonderful. No prep time. Season and put it in the oven. I’m going to try the mango…

@NicoleL874 Glad you started this thread. You couldn’t have had better timing *smile* I’m back in weight loss mode. Right now, I’m up 12 pounds. I’ve been consistent going to the gym but, I can’t out exercise a bad diet. I’ve been justifying my food choices for months. I’m committed to: Finding my discipline and being…

First – I hate the word failure. You have not given up completely. You can get back at this. I’m going into year five. I admit I’m letting carbs back in . Once I eat them, I crave them more. I start detoxing off them this week. Working this gain off. Log your food empty the house of temptation, hydrate and activity.…
