I think of you often, and you're doing awesome!
[QUOTE=GirthRogers;1546999051]I read your entire thread a while back and remember you having a final target. Was it 150 or something like that? I can't remember. Do you still have a finished goal in mind? I know you are hooked on Keto for life though. That's pretty awesome.[/QUOTE]
That's actually a good question, I have been obese my entire life since very early childhood so to be very honest I don't even know what my end goal is at this time....what I do know is that I'll want to keep going till a point where I feel like I am at a healthy enough weight that I can maintain for life. For now at least my goal is to get the regain off in mini goals of 5 pounds at a time to get below 220 pounds which was the lowest adult weight that I got to last year.
[QUOTE=Imp81318;1547000521]Congrats on getting under 245 lbs again, Cherry! You are well on your way toward your goals once again, and all of these little milestones along the way are great reminders of that. I too struggle with the habitual urge to snack at night when I finally sit down to relax at the end of the day. I'm not a big sweets guy, so my snack of choice is potato chips, pretzels, tortilla chips, etc. I have found that sunflower seeds in the shell work well to satisfy my urge to snack. They have the crunch aspect when breaking them open with my teeth to get the seed out, they're salty, and I can eat them all night long and only have a portion of a serving.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the kind words :) It definitely feels good to be getting my life back in control once again. Thanks for the the sunflower seeds tip, I just might try it one of these days when the cravings strike, luckily after about 10 straight days of eating within my IF window and having my last meal by 8pm, it seems that now by midnight I'm alot more used to not having to snack on something which I'm really glad about.
[QUOTE=anandagirl;1547130601]I think of you often, and you're doing awesome![/QUOTE]
Awww, thanks girl! It feels really good to be back, I'm finding that logging is really helping me with accountability and wanting to stay disciplined once again.
====================================
Didn't get to log yesterday....I was so glad when I stepped on the scale and it read 242.5 pounds (meaning not much to go before getting back down to the 230s yay!).
Yesterday ate within cals 1530 and carbs 29g. It's my 11th day since getting back to it and really glad with the progress taking things one day at a time. I'm okay if some days have less cals as it means I can eat more on other days as long as my weekly calorie average stays below 1800.
Managed to make it to the gym after a day of rest. Did:-
- dumbbell curl and press: 4 x 8 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- barbell squats: 4 x 10 - (30 pound barbell)
- deadlifts: 4 x 10 - (60 pound barbell)
- one hand rows: 4 x 10 (20 pound dumbbell)
- reverse lunges: 3 x 12 (12 pound dumbbells)
Finished with 10mins rowing and 20mins spin bike and took extra time stretching.
Diet on, losing pounds, lifting.
Awesome job!
[QUOTE=phoenix4444;1547179841]Diet on, losing pounds, lifting.
Awesome job![/QUOTE]
Thanks girl! I'm really try to keep things in line this time.
============================================
Didn't log yesterday, ate within cals (1768) and carbs were 31g but i'm okay with that. Went to the gym and didn't even feel like going at all, dragged myself in there and felt really lethargic, was tired after 5mins of treadmill...managed to push to 20mins treadmill and 10mins on bike then was done. I was also very heavily emotionally laden yesterday so i think that ties into it as well, i figure better to have done something than nothing...will do better on monday.
-----------
Scale: Today was really glad to see the scale go down another notch to 241.8 pounds, getting closer to saying goodbye to the 240s whew. I'm actually shocked as to date have lost 11.7 pounds since re-starting my journey 2 weeks ago, I know alot of it was water weight, but has been a really nice boost to keeping me on the straight and narrow, seeing the scale go down little by little with every couple of days that i stick to the programme.
Food: Today is the first time in 2 weeks that i've eaten over cals at 2081 (within carbs 27g). It's one of those days where I didn't get to start eating till much later in the day then just wanted to stuff my face as soon as food was put infront of me. I'm okay with it though as my weekly caloric average has balanced off at 1785cals which is within my 1800cal limit.
Exercise: No workout today however was pretty active today (walked for over an hour and a half so can consider that my workout for the day)....my cousin is getting married in July and has asked me to be her maid of honour (will be my first time), so we went fabric shopping as the dresses will be tailored, so we did loads of walking trying to find the right colour and fabric etc.
Random thoughts: I'm actually thinking of tailoring my own, I was actually a bridesmaid at a wedding mid last year and the tailor did an atrocious job on my dress that time, and even though I was a beginner at sewing decided to attempt to make my own from scratch with just afew days left to the wedding...and still shocked that I actually succeeded in making my own dress that actually turned out really nice and matched perfectly with the other bridesmaids and most important I actually liked it and felt good in it and felt so proud of myself that I'd actually made it. So I think this time round will do the same but will need to do some practice versions first before the final. I bought a secondhand sewing machine about 5yrs ago and didn't have a clue how to sew (had never done so in my life), then decided to google/youtube "how to sew for beginners" and thousands of videos popped up, next thing I know I had learned how to make some simple skirts and tops, so was nervous about my first dress project (the bridesmaids dress) but was amazed I succeeded at it. It almost makes me feel about a hundred years old telling people I sew as a hobby (and i usually hide/keep it to myself out of embarrassment which is wrong i know) but I think it's one of the most constructive hobbies I've ever had and it's always one of the best feelings in the world when I wear some of my own creations and gotten loads of compliments on them, one of my goals this year is to get back to it regularly and not just once every couple of months when I feel like it.
Amongst the goals of trying get the weight regain off and continue on my weight loss journey is to make time weekly for things I enjoy, so on the list includes hoping to travel more, hoping to sew more, hoping to pick up piano again, and hoping to read more (i have a stack of self help books to read that i'm hoping can help me work on my negative/pessimistic attitude to being more positive/optimistic)....maybe i'll be giving a monthly update on how i'm doing with the wider life/self improvement goals.
[QUOTE=cherrygarcia80;1547306301]maybe i'll be giving a monthly update on how i'm doing with the wider life/self improvement goals.[/QUOTE]
You can give a wider life update as often as you feel the need. I promise we'll all read it. :)
Keep going, you are motivating us all!
What supplements are you taking these days? Are you taking any medications unrelated to your fitness goals? You used to have pain in your knees, is that still happening?

Thanks for the kind words! :) I actually used to take a whole bunch of vitamin/mineral supplements daily but have stopped the past year as I just got so tired of it. Thankfully I've been off all medications for years now (since afew months into keto), I still can hardly believe that I have normal blood pressure after decades of high blood pressure that could only be managed by meds that I thought I would have to be on for life! My left knee crunches when i walk up steps *sigh*, but when walking on flat ground is okay. I actually just as of 2 weeks ago started taking gelatin once again, a tablespoon of it in my bedtime cocoa and sometimes morning coffee. As it's supposed to be good for joints and a couple of other things, I took it sometime back but just got lazy about it. The funny thing is when I take it right before bed it puts me in a really deep sleep to the point it's almost difficult to wake up, so it's good quality sleep but I'm much more groggy in the mornings needing more time to wake up in the mornings.
================================
Didn't log yesterday: Ate 1835 cals and 27g carbs, no workout as I've never ever made it into the gym on a sunday.
Today: Eaten 1816cals and 32g carbs which i'm okay with, I didn't make it to the gym today, was just feeling very low emotionally/mentally and conflicted about a couple of work related things that I had to get done and so decided to skip the workout and now obviously clearly regretting it as i always feel so much better after working out, will definitely get in there tomorrow for weights day.
Forgot to log yesterday, ate 1649cals and 30g carbs.
Managed to get into the gym which I'm really glad about, did:-
- dumbbell squat and press: 4 x 10 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- dumbbell side bends: 4 x16 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- deadlifts: 4 x 15 - (20 pound dumbbells)
- one hand rows: 4 x 10 (20 pound dumbbell)
- dumbbell swings: 4 x 15 (20 pound dumbbell)
Finished with 20mins spin bike.

Still reading Cherry!
Its great that you are hitting the gym with some regularity :) Lift Lift Lift. I know just how crappy it is "re-losing" regained weight (it was a messy Christmas period for me...), but you obviously know exactly what it takes and how to handle yourself. Just get it done:)
Strength.

Thanks so much for the kind words luke! I'm hoping to do the log rounds soon, I hope all's been going well with you too :)
===============================================
Today have eaten within goals, at 1802 cals and 24g carbs.
As usual was feeling tempted to ditch the gym but so glad I went in the end...was a cardio day so did:-
- 15mins treadmill, 15mins elliptical, 15mins rowing, 15mins bike
Hoping to go in tomorrow for weights day.
Love reading your posts. You are definitely very inspirational. Keep it up.
I also feel like I am going to transition to a Keto diet once I hit 300. I feel like it would benefit me long term to try it out and it's nice reading how you have kept up with it.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! And I'd highly recommend keto (my opinion is obviously biased haha), but in all honesty it's the only diet in my entire life that enabled me to lose weight and get back to good health (i've been obese pretty much my entire life)...it was difficult saying goodbye to carbs however as keto is LCHF - low carb, (moderate protein) and high fat......the fact that one can add healthy fats to their meals (in the absence of carbs), meant that it was a tasty diet and very satiating, and so i never felt deprived....infact the only difficult thing about it has been time/patience of which would have been a factor in no matter what diet I'd have chosen. However everyone is different, and i learnt that the diet that works is the one you can stick to...and as long as one is eating at a deficit then they will lose weight. But i think in *my* case I have made the decision to stick with keto for life because it's the only thing that seems to have cured my binge eating/mindless eating disorder for good, and I know if i go back to carbs i'll just go back to being a sugar/junk food addict like i was my entire life, it was such a sad way for me to live and would never want to go back to it as i'd just end up at square 1 once again. Anyway let me stop rambling, and wishing you all the best on your journey :)
=======================
Today have eaten within carbs (29g) however under cals @1456cals for the day, i'm fine with that as it means I can balance it out with a filling 2100cal day probably tomorrow or saturday which would be a nice break....still targetting weekly cal average of 1800....and i'm still loosely doing 16:8 IF most days.
It's almost that time of the month so i won't even bother stepping on the scale till mid to late next week due to water retention (otherwise i'll just get upset with a higher reading even when i know it's water weight sigh!)
Made it to the gym today for a kick a$$ workout which felt really great and really lifted my mood thereafter, working out is definitely a free form of therapy as i'd walked into the gym when i was quite upset about something someone had said earlier in the day but left feeling ontop of the world:-
- overhead press: 4 x 8 - (30 pound barbell)
- squats: 4 x 15 - (40 pound barbell)
- dumbbell side bends: 4 x16 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- deadlifts: 4 x 15 - (60 pound barbell)
- one hand rows: 4 x 10 (16 pound dumbbell)
- dumbbell swings: 4 x 15 (16 pound dumbbell)
- reverse lunges: 3 x 16 (12 pound dumbbells)
- bicep curls: 3 x 6 (12 pound dumbbells)
Yesterday ate 2088 cals and 32g carbs, i'm okay with it as previous day was low on cals, was a gym rest day.
Today have eaten 1851cals and 29g carbs, woke up with one of my PMS migraines (which i haven't had in a while) which really sucks, so was supposed to be a gym day but instead been in bed just reading most of the day...taken some meds that make me drowsy, hoping it's gone by tomorrow.
My weekly caloric average is 1777 cals which i'm happy about as it's within my goal of 1800cals. Will check the scale mid to late next week.
Hi, I never post on this forum, just lurk since 2009.
Just wanted to say your weightloss log is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back here. Very inspiring! I can relate to so many things you wrote here. Ive been battling weight my entire life. My highest weight was well over 300lbs. Now I'm 210lb and goal is 190. Losing the last 10kg is a nightmare for me. Im also dealing with some loose skin.
I'm glad youre back after a long hiatus. Hope you keep updating your progress :) cheers

Oh wow, thanks for the kind words! When I started this log it was just to help keep myself accountable (and was so scared about it), but was so glad I did because I found so much support and encouragement here and it helped keep me going. And wow, CONGRATS on the amazing weightloss!!! Wow, I can't imagine how good it must feel to be so close to your goal...wishing you all the best as you journey on to lose the last 20 pounds! Arrggghhh yeah the loose skin thing, it's the only thing that has really gotten me down about the weightloss but I try to not let that affect me and I look at all the positive health gains I've experienced and adding so many more years to my life, and so I just keep going on. Thanks for passing by and all the best as you keep going :)
==============================
On Sunday my PMS migraine continued, I was so miserable :( despite taking pain meds, spent most of the day in bed. Thankfully woke up yesterday morning and it was gone (it run from Sat to Sun sigh!).
Yesterday ate:- 1682 cals and 35g carbs (carbs were higher than expected but could have been worse).
Today have eaten within cals:- 1475cals and 30g carbs.
Glad I made it to the gym today, did:-
- squat and press: 4 x 8 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- dumbbell side bends: 4 x16 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- deadlifts: 4 x 15 - (24 pound dumbbells)
- one hand rows: 4 x 10 (16 pound dumbbell)
- dumbbell swings: 4 x 15 (20 pound dumbbell)
- reverse lunges: 3 x 16 (12 pound dumbbells)
- bicep curls: 3 x 6 (12 pound dumbbells)
Finished with 15mins on the bike. Felt really good to be back in the gym after a break of about 5 days sigh! Tomorrow should ideally be cardio day, hoping to do an hour then.
Today have eaten 1594cals and within carb count (29g carbs).
Glad I managed to make it to the gym but was feeling quite winded, so just did 45mins of moderate walking on the treadmill and couldn't do anymore thereafter so i just left thereafter, but glad i at least did something.
When leaving the gym i ended up in the same elevator with a really nice guy (one of the regulars) from the gym, he always says hi to me and when i go missing he usually asks if i've been around which i always find really nice. So we had some small talk for the couple of seconds before having to get out of the elevator....i feel like maybe in another life he maybe might have wanted to ask me out for a drink or something but i'm guessing he maybe is married or has a girlfriend and hence why it never goes beyond small talk, i'm too shy to ask if he's single because the last time i asked a guy that who seemed interested in me he went running for the hills. So i guess that's that sigh.
Have had a terrible cough yesterday and today...I've noticed certain foods give me a pretty bad cough if i eat them, so i sadly had to let go of dairy (i used to love having greek yogurt with berries and stevia) but no more as i cough for hours on end thereafter. I've been doing okay the past couple of days but something must have triggered it again yesterday and the cough has been running till today...probably why i was so low energy during my workout today.
Damn, you help me a lot ! I just started about a month ago and its so awesome to see others that have been doing this wayyyyy longer then myself. Keep it up! :)
[QUOTE=strokesonfire;1548331721]Damn, you help me a lot ! I just started about a month ago and its so awesome to see others that have been doing this wayyyyy longer then myself. Keep it up! :)[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the kind words :) I remember when i started i hardly thought i could get through day 1, then week 1, then month 1, and now years down the line I look back and so thankful to have gotten this far....it's the first time in my life i've lost weight and kept it off, and i hope to keep it that way. Wishing you all the best as you journey on :)
==========================
Today was a good day, I've been reading books and watching videos on trying to be more positive. I didn't realize just how much of a negative attitude i have towards so many things untill i started trying to stop every negative thought and instead be positive about it, it's not easy but working on it little by little. E.g. everyday I'd go to the gym with an i don't feel like being there attitude but today decided to go with a positive attitude and really enjoyed my workout.
Anyway, today have eaten within cals 1720 and carbs (24g), been failing abit on my 16:8 IF recently but trying to get back to it, when i eat in a smaller eating window i get fuller for longer so will try stick with it.
Managed to get into the gym for a really great workout....coincidentally I ended up working out right next to the guy i met in the elevator yesterday, I said hi and he said a really nice friendly hello and asked how i was doing (i still have no idea if he is attached/taken or not but i'm assuming he is as it never goes beyond hello/small talk and i'm too shy to ask). Funny enough all the regulars in the weights section said really nice friendly hello's today. I recently decided to try really hard to look at people and say hello (and attempt to smile while at it due to my crippling shyness), as opposed to looking down when walking at the gym sigh! So was really surprised because all the regular guys now say hello daily which is nice, so i don't feel so out of place in the weights section anymore, so i'm able to fully do my workouts without being self concious about it.
It was one of those days when my ipod battery was dead but put it on anyway to look "busy" lmao, the gym music is always such torture to listen to, the same top 10 songs in a loop played for weeks at a time. Anyway, today did:-
- overhead press: 4 x 8 - (30 pound barbell)
- squats: 4 x 15 - (40 pound barbell)
- dumbbell side bends: 4 x16 - (12 pound dumbbells)
- deadlifts: 4 x 10 - (60 pound barbell)
- one hand rows: 4 x 8 (16 pound dumbbell)
- dumbbell swings: 4 x 15 (16 pound dumbbell)
- reverse lunges: 3 x 12 (12 pound dumbbells)
- bicep curls: 3 x 6 (12 pound dumbbells)
Finished with 15mins on the spin bike and felt really great once I was done.
For my squats I have always used the light preloaded barbells and it's because I've been so intimidated to try to use the smith machine or squat rack (to be honest it's to avoid attention as i usually have a little private-ish corner in the weights area that i like to workout at). But now feel confident enough to want to try them out. I'm thinking of asking one of the resident trainers to spare like 10mins to show me how to use them (loading and unloading weights etc) so that I can at least try and squat with higher weight than I have been. I've procrastinated that for a long time but will give myself a deadline of next week to start using them...and will initially try target an earlier gym time before rush hour kicks in so that it isn't crowded.
There's also a boxing punching bag which I've always wanted to try out, for that I might watch afew videos initially and see if I can do some basic kicks and punches on it....there's certain paid trainers at the gym who specialize in boxing/kick boxing but I can't afford to pay them plus the gym membership, so will see how it goes with the video tutorials.

Try the Smith machine first. it's quite easy and it'll give you the confidence to move to a free bar. Unracking it is easy too. I'm sure any trainer would love to help you, but if they are busy, you could figure it out no problem; you are a smart person. :)
I bet you are strong enough now to ditch the fixed weights. That's a huge step forward for most people, congrats!

Thanks for the encouragement and also for the advice that i should try the smith machine first. I think i'll try to target next saturday afternoon (as there's surprisingly hardly anyone in the gym at that time) and will ask one of the trainers to show me how to use it just for a couple of mins to also gauge what weight i should start squatting at. I hope all's going well with you too :)
==================
Today was a good day, have eaten with cals at 1479 and carbs were 31g.
Was feeling pretty lethargic before the workout (was a cardio day), but thankfully had charged my ipod again and once i got the music pumping was able to get into the workout, did:-
- 20mins elliptical, 13mins rowing (5 metres on the Concept2), 20mins spin bike.
There's a friend in town who i haven't seen in years and we've decided to meet tomorrow afternoon, and as i already did 4 days straight at the gym this week will take the weekend off to recover.
Today have eaten within cals and carbs...1767cals and 30g carbs. Taking a rest from the gym this weekend, will resume on Monday.

During your off days, are you doing anything to stay active? Stretching, activities, elevating your heart rate beyond normal at all?
[QUOTE=GirthRogers;1548509321]During your off days, are you doing anything to stay active? Stretching, activities, elevating your heart rate beyond normal at all?[/QUOTE]
Hey, no, I'm usually pretty sedentary...my first goal since regain was to get back regularly into the gym 4 times a week so that at least i'm doing something, then eventually can build up on it. I've been telling myself forever that I'll be doing a DDP yoga video on Sundays (as i never go to the gym) but haven't done so in like 2 years, sigh!!!
==============
Today have eaten within cals 1478 and carbs at 32g.
Glad I managed to make it in to the gym this monday as I've dodged the last couple of mondays. Was to be a weights day but went during rush hour and the weights area was ridiculously packed, so ended up making it a cardio day...I usually go before rush hour as there's always space with just afew people working out then. Will do so tomorrow.
For cardio did: 10mins walking, 13mins rowing (2000m), 20mins spin bike...I was actually feeling abit dizzy so I'm glad I made it that far.
The past few years I've had tinnitus and it's really scary as I hope it isn't permanent. Basically it'll come and affect me for about a week or so then dissapears for afew months, then come back again for a week and go again. During those spells i basically hear a ringing in my left ear and hearing level goes down to about about 50% in that ear, and then have accompanying dizziness/vertigo. But then it'll go for a couple of months and everything will be back to normal....it really really sucks but praying it goes away eventually (I stopped googling info on it as it's rather depressing)
Where you at Cherry?
Don't fall off the bandwagon! Keep the progress rolling!
Checking in on ya girl!
[img]https://media.giphy.com/media/M3TbKyktpyqYM/giphy.gif[/img]
Calling cherry, where art thou.
Was just thinking about you. Hope all is well.
Thanks so much everyone for checking up on me. I don't know what happened but no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to keep logging regularly like I used to...but will keep trying to check in every now and again to update.
Good news...my weight is finally back down to the 220s which was my lowest ever weight last year....seeing 250+ on the scale just afew months ago was super depressing because I couldn't believe I'd gained a good 30pounds or so from my lowest weight.
So I'm really glad to report that I'm [color=red][B][I]currently weighing in at 225.8 pounds yay!... bringing my total loss to 152 pounds![/I][/B]][/color] I'm still going strong on keto, been doing so for over 3 years straight now, so i know it's sustainable for me. In *my* case I know if i ever go back to carbs that will be the beginning of the end for me, so will be keto for life.
Personally after having lived at 300+ for decades (highest weight was 378 pounds)....my maintenance goal for now will be to stay below 220 pounds (my high school weight) as long as i'm active and still eating keto....my loose skin situation is pretty bad and also as a result when I walk my body jiggles like a bowl of jello and these things make me so self conscious but trying to not let it get to me and I just keep focussing on the amazing physical/emotional/mental health benefits that I've experienced from the weight loss and health gain...so i will try hold this weight for another year or so to see if things tighten up and then re-evaluate thereafter, because loose skin surgery is not an option as I don't have the money and even though I did would be needed in other areas of my life like finally getting my own place etc.
Been terrible at gym for no good reason at all...took a 2 month hiatus sigh!....got back last week and then this week coming down with a cough/cold grrrr! so haven't been in all week....hopefully will get back to it by next week and hoping to commit to 4 days a week...2 strength training and 2 of cardio.
Will try update every now and again but hoping not to disappear for months on end...hope all's well with everyone :)
Cherry! We missed you. :P
Don't worry too much about your loose skin. You should keep losing weight until you get down to your final goal area. It's better to have loose skin than have extra unused weight pressuring your heart and nervous system.
You really are an inspiration for a lot of people here, and we all love your updates. Keep going!
She lives!
Great job on the weight loss. Update when you can please. I will remind you;)
I saw what you wrote, I really feel that you are super
