SW: 2011: 365+ lbs GW: 180 lbs CW: 7/17/2018 265.8 lbs I’m back-ish to the gym. I’m dealing with a major health issue that I didn’t know I had so there’s going to be a lot of ups and downs. I was taken off two medications so emotions are running high so emotional eating is new battle. But I haven’t been tracking food and I…

I’m on restricted exercise for now from my doctor. But what I gained working the fair is gone with a little more. 3 pounds so far.

I worked ourcdistrict/county fair and gained over 7 pounds in 6 days. I’ve managed to lose all but half a pound. Feeling so much better eating non-fair food.

I’m being bad this week. I’m not racking my food. I’m working at our district/county fair and it’s hard staying away from the food. But I think I’m doing decent so far. And I’m moving more than normal so that’s a plus I guess.

My weigh is a roller coaster because of medication and weight training. So since I started this about 2.5 months ago I’m down 1.8 pounds but my doctor said I’m looking better and that he’s proud of how far I’ve come. My next challenge if I get the job will be not eating fair food next week.

I’m right there right now. I’m an emotional eater and this week a man I think of a grandpa passed away so food choices haven’t been that great. I think I’ve also been fudging portion sizes.

It might be other things besides diet too. I’ve added strength training so I’m adding muscle. My doctor told me to look at how my clothes are fitting because muscle takes up less room but it won’t change the scale how I want.

I had that year last year. Dental work, surgery, and so many family funerals I just didn’t care. This year is for me. I’m not losing the weight like I want but I’m feeling better so I guess that’s a plus.

I’ve had the same issue. But clothes are loser so we, trainer, doctor, and me, figured it’s because I added in strength training last month. Plus we all have off months.

Having a very emotional day and I’m an emotional eater. I ended up eating 7 Keebler rainbow chip cookies for a snack. I tracked them but still. But really don’t mind that today has gone to hell in a hand basket.

I’m starting to do weights with my cardio but my arm keeps telling me nope not happening. I’m trying to rehab my arm back and the road is looking longer than I wanted. I’m 6 months out from surgery and in my mind I should be able to do things like before all this started a year ago. So I guess it’ll be part of my workout…

SW: 2011: 365+ lbs GW: 180 lbs CW: 4/29/18 268.8 lbs Non-scale achievements are really important to me. So last night I swore I took my diabetic pill, well I didn’t. My sugars this morning were still low. My diet my not be showing much on the scale but it is showing HUGE in other ways.

So my weights up m clothing is fitting better so my doctor said not to look at the scale. Also, my A1C dropped drastically so all the exercising is really helping.

I did WW twice. The food restrictions weren’t giving me what I needed. I’ve also tried Richard Simmon’s food mover and that didn’t work either. What worked was just straight up eating less. Seven years ago I hit 365, stopped weighing in and kept gaining. Six years ago we moved to a town house and I decided something had to…

I got yelled at by my cardiologist for cutting out too much sodium. Everyone’s different. Have your levels checked before cutting back.

Gym update. I think the trainer is trying to kill me. Not really but oh man I’m more out of shape than I thought. I haven’t done legs, well since my sophomore year of high school many moons ago. Today trying to get up hurts. But I’ll be doing it again on Monday and every Monday after that. I can do this, I may just witch…

I was worried about the gym too. I found one with a zero tolerance policy on body shaming. They also aren’t they “in your face” type of staff, they let me do my thing and encourage when needed but not overly so. But with that said I lost 100 pounds before I was willing to join a gym so I fully understand.

I need motivation and accountability too.

I’ve yo-yoed all my life. It’s taken 6 years but I’m down 100 and it hasn’t come back. It’s always came back, with friends. Add me as a friend. I’m new and looking for motivation, help, and accountability.

I noticed tonight I need to up the resistance on the stationary bike I use at the gym. Thought I’d be at this at least another month before that happened.

After my mom got hospitalized twice for low sodium I keep an eye on mine. My cardiologist yelled at me for not eating enough salt. Trying to diet and eat salt seems so counterproductive to me.

My doctor actually told me not to worry about the scale that how my clothes fit are more important. He’s had tell me this twice in a row because I gained this last time but went down clothes sizes.

I’m in. I’m trying to get healthy. My cousin who was only 3 years older than me died of health complications in November and I’m not ready to go yet. I’m 40 (as of the start of the year) around 6 foot tall and holding at 270. Which I’m proud of because in 6 years I’ve lost and kept off over 100 pounds. I just started the…
