    As I may have already said, I had an upset tummy last week which finally erupted on Friday afternoon. Took it easy over the weekend and feeling fine now.

    This morning my scale recorded 139.8, which means that I have just dropped below my UGW. It’s only temporary, of course, but gratifying nonetheless.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    JFT - Monday May 17
    1.5L of water - :/ 1 though and that's much better than none
    Log all Food - :)
    Walk 15 Minutes - :/ I was so tired last night that I ended up having a nap, this didn't bode well for sleeping last night. I'll have to stay awake this evening no matter how much I want to nap again.

    JFT - Tuesday May 18
    1.5L of water
    Log all Food
    Walk 15 Minutes

    Yesterday at work we had some chicks being born, our residents were quite happy.

    @bookmeister86 - I hope you have a successful weigh-in day. I feel like I'm not losing anything, but the scale and my clothes are telling me I'm wrong. Not being able to walk at a fast pace or much of a distance has left me with only diet to make a difference and it is difficult!

    @TerriRichardson112 - Congratulations on the drop below the UGW that is exciting. It may be temporary, but I doubt it will be temporary for long.

    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    Still here but still feel off.
    It's not like I have muscles aches or blocked sinuses or headache or anything it is literally just a cough, but it's painful and almost constant as soon as anything sets it off.

    Not done much today. Felt too ill this morning to do anything.
    But Nurse Casey was on hand. At only 3 years old (and without me even askiblng) she grabbed a blanket, grabbed a pillow, tucked me in on the sofa, asked "you alright mummy", gave me kisses and said she loved me and then got on the sofa and cuddled next to me whilst stroking my head til I fell asleep for a nap. She is honest the best kid in the world. She's so caring and lovely. She proper looked after poorly mummy this morning.

    Tomorrow I'm hoping to post goals. Even if it is just food and water.

    Hope everyone else is good!

    Weigh in this morning was ok, I had lost a little although I was up a little from the previous day. My weight seems to be very up and down and the scale is also giving me multiple different measurements which is slightly frustrating. It might be worth a new scale at some point.

    I am now 174.75 lb which is still just slightly up from my pre- Easter weight which I am fighting to get back to. I'd really like to lose a pound before I go away for a few days with my mum but that's a bit ambitious as it's only two days away!

    What I'm more concerned about is that I will end up putting weight back on when I do go away. I do tend to put weight on when I go on holiday, and I also tend to put weight on when I am around my mum! (As she feeds me/likes to have an excuse to feed herself). I have a general pattern of losing under 'normal' circumstances when food is in my control, then regaining when I go away/have larger social events which I really need to try to crack as ultimately it means I end up going nowhere. Basically I need a strategy for moderating - indulging a little but not too much - on those overeating occasions. But I haven't cracked that yet.

    Anyway, yesterday's goals:

    JFT - Wednesday May 19
    1.5L of water
    Log all Food

    I keep posting the same goals over and over, I need to start doing them consistently.

    @bex953172 - Have you been to a doctor? My Aunt had a persistent cough for a couple of weeks and finally when she cracked a rib from coughing went to the doctor, she had pneumonia and ended up hospitalized for a couple of weeks because she let it go for so long. Might not hurt to get it checked out if it continues for too long.

    @bookmeister86 - I think those indulgences on different occasions are difficult for all of us. I personally end up not eating a lot if it's just a one day outing before I go, but if it's a few days I just go with it and try my best.
    We are still in a very restrictive state here so I haven't really had to face it yet.

    Probably about a week up to now. They usually say 3 weeks then see a dr. But mine (fingers crossed 🤞) seems to be clearing. Because I can vape now without coughing out my lungs 😂

    Yesterday was a bit frantic, ended up suddenly going for a house viewing at the last minute and had a lot of meetings so it was all a bit stressful.

    Diet wise was good although swapped the gin I'd planned to have on a call with my girlfriends for a slightly larger quantity of wine which summed more calories. Still ended up in the green though due to exercise calories. There is now no red wine left in the flat so I will not be having any today! (There is some white but I don't like that as much and tend to have that more on sunny days, which it is not).

    Feeling a bit overwhelmed today, have a lot going on at work and it's all a bit chaotic so hard to plan and prioritise effectively - seem to be spending a lot of time in meetings and chatting to people trying to figure out what is going on rather than getting on with stuff. There's a very big fast paced project going on which I'm trying to feed into but because it's so big and fast paced nobody really seems to be in control of the project and it's hard to know where to feed in. Remote working really doesn't help with communication either, it's a bit frustrating.

    We also have to decide whether to put an offer on a house today. We went for a second viewing yesterday to focus on the bits we weren't sure about and I wasn't reassured about them. I think it's probably a no, but need to spend some time considering and playing around with the floor plan to figure out if we could make it work. It's really hard to make decisions on this! When I was in the bits of the property that I like (the downstairs area) it's like 'yeah this is lovely, I could live here'.... When we're in the bits that I'm less sure about it's hard to feel confident to move forward.

    Anyway, yesterday's goals:

    1.5L of water - >:) Not even a drop, I filled my bottle at work and never took a sip. When I went home I found we didn't have any. We buy our water, because the tap water is terrible.

    Walk 15 Minutes - Probably about 10

    @bex953172 - I'm sure the vaping is a great indicator of how you are feeling. ;) Glad you are feeling a bit better though.

    @bookmeister86 - I was told when buying that "you'll know" when it was the right one. I was more like you though. The only thing I would do again is not let my DH convince me we could change this or change that. It never seems to get done.

    @bookmeister86 - I was told when buying that "you'll know" when it was the right one. I was more like you though. The only thing I would do again is not let my DH convince me we could change this or change that. It never seems to get done.

    I keep on getting told that.... Not sure I believe it though!

    At least, not for me. I think some people are more intuitive and good at making decisions based on their gut. I am not - I am a pros/cons/list based practical type!

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    5) Outdoor market if showers end? / scrub toilets / check DVR / fold & put away rest of laundry / wash dishes / declutter 15 min. / other chore? prepped F food & water bottles, refilled birdbaths, dug dandelions in yard until mosquitos got to me = 5/7
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 5:40 alarm (hopefully showers miss us & walk dog before work) = 4/5

    JFT 5/21 F

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty

    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    weekly weigh-in 2021 -- every friday

    Name: Joan
    5'11"
    69 yrs old

    SW: 195
    1st goal: 185
    2nd goal: 180
    Ultimate goal: 170-175

    Word for the year 2021: Consistency

    My weight history:
    SW Year 2017: 217
    SW Year 2018: 195.5
    SW Year 2019 : 206 -- met my goal weight of 178 on December, 2019
    SW Year 2020: 182.6 -- gained 15 pounds through the pandemic :s
    SW Year 2021:195

    Goals for 2021:
    These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2021:
    1. Lose 25 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 170, and then learn how to maintain it.
    2. To be better with planning my meals each week
    3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
    4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
    5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
    6. To curb and stop nitetime snacking for good.

    Weekly weigh-in. I plan on weighing every friday
    SW Friday, Jan 1st: 195.6
    SW: Feb 5: 191.8

    SW: Mar 5: 193
    SW: April 2: 190.4
    SW: May 188


    Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
    Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
    Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
    Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
    Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
    Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
    Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
    Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking.
    Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
    Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
    Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
    March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
    April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
    April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
    April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
    April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
    April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.

    May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
    May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past wee

    JFT - Saturday May 22
    1.5L of water - 😕 1 though
    Log all Food - 🙂
    Walk 15 Minutes - 🙂

    JFT - Sunday May 23
    1.5L of water
    Log all Food
    Walk 15 Minutes

    I don’t know why I’m struggling so much to get my water in. I used to drink 2L a day without fail. I haven’t figured out why I’m not willing to do it now.

    I have to share this.
    After our day of planting Michaela says “Grammie I was scared to come today but it was good”.
    I asked her why she was scared, she said “because I thought you were going to make us work all day”. 😂
    Here are pictures of my reluctant little helper. She planted 5 or 6 pots herself, watered all of them and helped move them, all without me asking her even once.
