Day 2: Tue, 4/6: 150.2
Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 149.2
Day 4: Thu, 4/8: 148.8
Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 149.2
Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 149.8 weighed earlier than usual so could have been lower
Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 152 Had bad day yesterday. Happens every time I lose weight – I start off great then regress.
Week 1 GAIN: +3.2
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 151
Day 9: Tue, 4/13: 150.4
Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 149.8 Slowly making my way back down!
Day 11: Thu, 4/15: 149
Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 149
Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 148.2
Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 150.2 Lunch out yesterday. Had a salad but it was huge and I ate every last bite!
Week 2 Loss: -1.8
Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 148.8
Day 16: Tue, 4/20: 148.4
Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 147.8

April Loss: -5.8
Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 144.6
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable, and it was something I've eaten before. This has to be some major water retention.

35 year old Mother of 2 and trying to shed my Covid Stress/Boredom Pounds 💪🏽1st Weigh in - 04/24 ..... 220lbs .....
Ultimate Weight Goal - 155lbs
STARTING WEIGHT (May 1, 2021): 213.8
MAY GOAL WEIGHT (May 31, 2021): 205Day 27 –05/01 …..213.8….. Woke up ready to kill the beginning of this challenge, even tho I started a month late, I'm ready to shred it! Spent most of the day studying and decluttering our downstairs. Added in a 3.75km walk with my pup.WEEK ONE PROGRESS: ...1.2lbs... Weight Loss
Day 28 – 05/02 …..213.6….. Today I will be spending most of my time catching up on my studies and working at our janitorial business, great way to up my steps 💪🏽
Day 29 – 05/03 …..213.6….. No change this morning. It's Monday! Working all day and more studying. If I have the energy later I will throw in a work out DVD, since there is rain in the forecast.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..214.0….. not liking the small gain but I am not worried, I have been eating healthy and staying on track. One of these days I will be in oneder land and will forget about this small struggle 💪🏽.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..213.6….. I seem to be hovering over the same weight. Trying to figure out what I can do to help push it. Any suggestions would be great. 😊
Day 32 – 05/06 …..212.8…..finally starting to see the number go down! Let's keep this going 💪🏽 it's BBQ night so I hope I stay within numbers 🙏🏼
Day 33 – 05/07 …..214….. I knew the numbers would rise after lastnight, even tho I stayed under my calories, I believe it is water weight from the salt I consumed. Today has been a good day tho, hopefully it will help bring things back down.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..212.6….. Starting off a new week with a 1.2lb loss. Wish it was more, like last week where I dropped almost 6lbs. Need to get my body moving more and drink more water!
Day 35 – 05/09 …..212.0….. Feeling great and finally starting to see the scale moving again! Today is going to be a lazy day.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..213.4….. Mothers day dinner got to me. I may have eaten a bit too much. 😳 Time to get back after 💪🏽 Happy Monday!!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..212.6….. Going to push having more water as well as green tea. My pup will be excited today when I take her for a walk after work. Then the rest of the night I will be studying for my mid-term.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6
Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Good luck everyone this new 100.

Day 09 – 04/13 …..207.2…..
Day 10 – 04/14 …..207.6…..
Day 11 – 04/15 …..207.6…..
Day 12 – 04/16 …..207.2…..
Day 13 – 04/17 …..206.6…..
Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2…..
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0…..
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2…..
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6…..
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6…..
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0…..
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0…..
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6…..
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2….. Horridly high glucose in the middle of the night. Almost called an ambulance (there is a tiny hospital one hour away) when my numbers hit 565. Should be about 80-90. Found some old medication I am no longer on to supplement my current diabetes medication and took it. Walked my backyard in the dark and downed some apple cider vinegar shots. Finally, after no sleep, I got it down to 200. The hunger (a symptom) was ravenous but food would have made a high glucose level worse so I had to suffer through that. Tweaking my diet, trying to change things up for the better is just affecting me in an unfair way. It’s an obstacle course but I will continue to try to navigate it and get to the other side with the changes I need. I see my doctor on the 11th. I will talk to her about my options although I HATE the idea of going back on extra meds because I can’t seem to substantially lose weight. I am nervous about how today will go. Watching things carefully. In the meantime, I am grateful for the drop on the scale and the small loss for April.
Weight Loss in April……………….. 1.4 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.4 lbs
Day 27 – 05/01 …..206.6….. Not a good start for May but I’ll stay on top of it today.
Day 28 – 05/02 …..207.4….. This time it was a severe sugar drop while in my car the next town over. Feeding frenzy in the car with snacks bought at the gas station. I ate until it stopped. Not good because that usually means it goes too high afterward from the food but I swear, it is instinct to eat, eat, eat until you can feel the difference. My body is really fighting me on dietetic changes. Even exercise. I will win this battle! I know my journey is a bit different than most of yours, but I appreciate you all being here with me on mine as I navigate and overcome.
Day 29 – 05/03 …..207.4….. This should have dropped a bit after a good day yesterday. My body is just fighting me and being stubborn (which is also part of my normal personality lol) but persistence should pay off.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..206.6….. I am traveling today for a bone scan. Found a new kitty in the woods next to my yard day before yesterday. I am trying to find an owner on Facebook but no hits yet. I hope I get to keep her. I’ve already named her Pebbles. She is a sweet young thing.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..208.8….. Crazy ridiculous but I checked it 3 times. Yesterday was little movement due to travel. No breakfast, no lunch and only half my restaurant dinner. But I did eat a mile high slice of cheesecake (that’s why I gave away half my dinner). The numbers don’t add up, hopefully better tomorrow.
Day 32 – 05/06 …..208.6….. I wish it had went down more.
Day 33 – 05/07 …..208.6….. Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..208.6….. Three days in a row! Pushing water today and more movement. So far a pretty day but cold. No rain finally after about 4 days of it. I plan to get out a bit more.
Day 35 – 05/09 …..208.8….. Pasta.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..208.8….. My 61st birthday. I was hoping to gift myself a better number on the scale but there’s no reason my self-gift can’t be late, right? I had a dinner that was very very late last night and the choices were not the greatest due to Mother’s Day eating earlier in the day. I will be celebrating my birthday next Sunday with my kids so today I will gift myself a low cal day. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..208.8….. I had a doctor appointment today. To say she whipped my *kitten* was an understatement. I’m talking about my glucose numbers. That left no time to even talk about my weight! I deserved the whippin’. It’s serious stuff and I’ve got to do better more consistently.

6th Week Actual Weight:
2 -
Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1
Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green
Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green
Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green
Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning. 867 in the green
Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work. 570 in the Green
Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green
Day 33: Fri, 5/7: 131.3 - Another weird food choice day. I stayed within calories. Vaccine day 102 in the Green
Day 34: Sat, 5/8: 133.8 - Ouch. I will try to get lots of activity in today. 603 in the Green

Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable, and it was something I've eaten before. This has to be some major water retention.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6

Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2…..
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6…..
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6…..
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0…..
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0…..
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6…..
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2….. Horridly high glucose in the middle of the night. Almost called an ambulance (there is a tiny hospital one hour away) when my numbers hit 565. Should be about 80-90. Found some old medication I am no longer on to supplement my current diabetes medication and took it. Walked my backyard in the dark and downed some apple cider vinegar shots. Finally, after no sleep, I got it down to 200. The hunger (a symptom) was ravenous but food would have made a high glucose level worse so I had to suffer through that. Tweaking my diet, trying to change things up for the better is just affecting me in an unfair way. It’s an obstacle course but I will continue to try to navigate it and get to the other side with the changes I need. I see my doctor on the 11th. I will talk to her about my options although I HATE the idea of going back on extra meds because I can’t seem to substantially lose weight. I am nervous about how today will go. Watching things carefully. In the meantime, I am grateful for the drop on the scale and the small loss for April.
Weight Loss in April……………….. 1.4 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.4 lbs
Day 27 – 05/01 …..206.6….. Not a good start for May but I’ll stay on top of it today.
Day 28 – 05/02 …..207.4….. This time it was a severe sugar drop while in my car the next town over. Feeding frenzy in the car with snacks bought at the gas station. I ate until it stopped. Not good because that usually means it goes too high afterward from the food but I swear, it is instinct to eat, eat, eat until you can feel the difference. My body is really fighting me on dietetic changes. Even exercise. I will win this battle! I know my journey is a bit different than most of yours, but I appreciate you all being here with me on mine as I navigate and overcome.
Day 29 – 05/03 …..207.4….. This should have dropped a bit after a good day yesterday. My body is just fighting me and being stubborn (which is also part of my normal personality lol) but persistence should pay off.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..206.6….. I am traveling today for a bone scan. Found a new kitty in the woods next to my yard day before yesterday. I am trying to find an owner on Facebook but no hits yet. I hope I get to keep her. I’ve already named her Pebbles. She is a sweet young thing.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..208.8….. Crazy ridiculous but I checked it 3 times. Yesterday was little movement due to travel. No breakfast, no lunch and only half my restaurant dinner. But I did eat a mile high slice of cheesecake (that’s why I gave away half my dinner). The numbers don’t add up, hopefully better tomorrow.
Day 32 – 05/06 …..208.6….. I wish it had went down more.
Day 33 – 05/07 …..208.6….. Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..208.6….. Three days in a row! Pushing water today and more movement. So far a pretty day but cold. No rain finally after about 4 days of it. I plan to get out a bit more.
Day 35 – 05/09 …..208.8….. Pasta.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..208.8….. My 61st birthday. I was hoping to gift myself a better number on the scale but there’s no reason my self-gift can’t be late, right? I had a dinner that was very very late last night and the choices were not the greatest due to Mother’s Day eating earlier in the day. I will be celebrating my birthday next Sunday with my kids so today I will gift myself a low cal day. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..208.8….. I had a doctor appointment today. To say she whipped my *kitten* was an understatement. I’m talking about my glucose numbers. That left no time to even talk about my weight! I deserved the whippin’. It’s serious stuff and I’ve got to do better more consistently.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..208.4….. I’m feeling so good I am going to celebrate the (nearly) half pound loss by dancing to a fitness marshall song (When you call me seniorita). That is a much better reward than a piece of chocolate! Yes, treating myself to a gift of music and movement is a great idea!

Ultimate Weight Goal - 155lbs
STARTING WEIGHT (May 1, 2021): 213.8
MAY GOAL WEIGHT (May 31, 2021): 205Day 27 –05/01 …..213.8….. Woke up ready to kill the beginning of this challenge, even tho I started a month late, I'm ready to shred it! Spent most of the day studying and decluttering our downstairs. Added in a 3.75km walk with my pup.WEEK ONE PROGRESS: ...1.2lbs... Weight Loss
Day 28 – 05/02 …..213.6….. Today I will be spending most of my time catching up on my studies and working at our janitorial business, great way to up my steps 💪🏽
Day 29 – 05/03 …..213.6….. No change this morning. It's Monday! Working all day and more studying. If I have the energy later I will throw in a work out DVD, since there is rain in the forecast.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..214.0….. not liking the small gain but I am not worried, I have been eating healthy and staying on track. One of these days I will be in oneder land and will forget about this small struggle 💪🏽.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..213.6….. I seem to be hovering over the same weight. Trying to figure out what I can do to help push it. Any suggestions would be great. 😊
Day 32 – 05/06 …..212.8…..finally starting to see the number go down! Let's keep this going 💪🏽 it's BBQ night so I hope I stay within numbers 🙏🏼
Day 33 – 05/07 …..214….. I knew the numbers would rise after lastnight, even tho I stayed under my calories, I believe it is water weight from the salt I consumed. Today has been a good day tho, hopefully it will help bring things back down.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..212.6….. Starting off a new week with a 1.2lb loss. Wish it was more, like last week where I dropped almost 6lbs. Need to get my body moving more and drink more water!
Day 35 – 05/09 …..212.0….. Feeling great and finally starting to see the scale moving again! Today is going to be a lazy day.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..213.4….. Mothers day dinner got to me. I may have eaten a bit too much. 😳 Time to get back after 💪🏽 Happy Monday!!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..212.6….. Going to push having more water as well as green tea. My pup will be excited today when I take her for a walk after work. Then the rest of the night I will be studying for my mid-term.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..212.2….. A bit of a later post today. I've been extremely tired since getting home from work today. Got my first dose of Pfizer so it definitely has knocked me off my feet.

Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable, and it was something I've eaten before. This has to be some major water retention.

Senorita is a fun dance : - )1 -
Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green
Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green

I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green
Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green

Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green
Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green

Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green

Spent most of the day studying and decluttering our downstairs. Added in a 3.75km walk with my pup.WEEK ONE PROGRESS: ...1.2lbs... Weight Loss
Day 28 – 05/02 …..213.6….. Today I will be spending most of my time catching up on my studies and working at our janitorial business, great way to up my steps 💪🏽
Day 29 – 05/03 …..213.6….. No change this morning. It's Monday! Working all day and more studying. If I have the energy later I will throw in a work out DVD, since there is rain in the forecast.

Day 33 – 05/07 …..214….. I knew the numbers would rise after lastnight, even tho I stayed under my calories, I believe it is water weight from the salt I consumed. Today has been a good day tho, hopefully it will help bring things back down.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6
Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Good luck everyone this new 100.

Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2…..
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6…..
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6…..
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0…..
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0…..
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6…..
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2….. Horridly high glucose in the middle of the night. Almost called an ambulance (there is a tiny hospital one hour away) when my numbers hit 565. Should be about 80-90. Found some old medication I am no longer on to supplement my current diabetes medication and took it. Walked my backyard in the dark and downed some apple cider vinegar shots. Finally, after no sleep, I got it down to 200. The hunger (a symptom) was ravenous but food would have made a high glucose level worse so I had to suffer through that. Tweaking my diet, trying to change things up for the better is just affecting me in an unfair way. It’s an obstacle course but I will continue to try to navigate it and get to the other side with the changes I need. I see my doctor on the 11th. I will talk to her about my options although I HATE the idea of going back on extra meds because I can’t seem to substantially lose weight. I am nervous about how today will go. Watching things carefully. In the meantime, I am grateful for the drop on the scale and the small loss for April.
Weight Loss in April……………….. 1.4 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.4 lbs
Day 27 – 05/01 …..206.6….. Not a good start for May but I’ll stay on top of it today.
Day 28 – 05/02 …..207.4….. This time it was a severe sugar drop while in my car the next town over. Feeding frenzy in the car with snacks bought at the gas station. I ate until it stopped. Not good because that usually means it goes too high afterward from the food but I swear, it is instinct to eat, eat, eat until you can feel the difference. My body is really fighting me on dietetic changes. Even exercise. I will win this battle! I know my journey is a bit different than most of yours, but I appreciate you all being here with me on mine as I navigate and overcome.
Day 29 – 05/03 …..207.4….. This should have dropped a bit after a good day yesterday. My body is just fighting me and being stubborn (which is also part of my normal personality lol) but persistence should pay off.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..206.6….. I am traveling today for a bone scan. Found a new kitty in the woods next to my yard day before yesterday. I am trying to find an owner on Facebook but no hits yet. I hope I get to keep her. I’ve already named her Pebbles. She is a sweet young thing.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..208.8….. Crazy ridiculous but I checked it 3 times. Yesterday was little movement due to travel. No breakfast, no lunch and only half my restaurant dinner. But I did eat a mile high slice of cheesecake (that’s why I gave away half my dinner). The numbers don’t add up, hopefully better tomorrow.
Day 32 – 05/06 …..208.6….. I wish it had went down more.
Day 33 – 05/07 …..208.6….. Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..208.6….. Three days in a row! Pushing water today and more movement. So far a pretty day but cold. No rain finally after about 4 days of it. I plan to get out a bit more.
Day 35 – 05/09 …..208.8….. Pasta.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..208.8….. My 61st birthday. I was hoping to gift myself a better number on the scale but there’s no reason my self-gift can’t be late, right? I had a dinner that was very very late last night and the choices were not the greatest due to Mother’s Day eating earlier in the day. I will be celebrating my birthday next Sunday with my kids so today I will gift myself a low cal day. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..208.8….. I had a doctor appointment today. To say she whipped my *kitten* was an understatement. I’m talking about my glucose numbers. That left no time to even talk about my weight! I deserved the whippin’. It’s serious stuff and I’ve got to do better more consistently.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..208.4….. I’m feeling so good I am going to celebrate the (nearly) half pound loss by dancing to a fitness marshall song (When you call me seniorita). That is a much better reward than a piece of chocolate! Yes, treating myself to a gift of music and movement is a great idea!
Day 39 – 05/13 …..207.4….. Tried some Intermittent Fasting again yesterday. A bit of a glucose drop but with it running high it was not an emergency. I handled the feelings well with something light to stop the symptoms without further raising my levels. A pound down today folks! Happy as a lamb!

Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable, and it was something I've eaten before. This has to be some major water retention.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6
Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Good luck everyone this new 100.

Day 07 – 04/11 …..206.4…..
Day 08 – 04/12 …..207.4…..
Day 09 – 04/13 …..207.2…..
Day 10 – 04/14 …..207.6…..
Day 11 – 04/15 …..207.6…..
Day 12 – 04/16 …..207.2…..
Day 13 – 04/17 …..206.6…..
Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2…..
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0…..
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2…..
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6…..
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6…..
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0…..
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0…..
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6…..
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2….. Horridly high glucose in the middle of the night. Almost called an ambulance (there is a tiny hospital one hour away) when my numbers hit 565. Should be about 80-90. Found some old medication I am no longer on to supplement my current diabetes medication and took it. Walked my backyard in the dark and downed some apple cider vinegar shots. Finally, after no sleep, I got it down to 200. The hunger (a symptom) was ravenous but food would have made a high glucose level worse so I had to suffer through that. Tweaking my diet, trying to change things up for the better is just affecting me in an unfair way. It’s an obstacle course but I will continue to try to navigate it and get to the other side with the changes I need. I see my doctor on the 11th. I will talk to her about my options although I HATE the idea of going back on extra meds because I can’t seem to substantially lose weight. I am nervous about how today will go. Watching things carefully. In the meantime, I am grateful for the drop on the scale and the small loss for April.
Weight Loss in April……………….. 1.4 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.4 lbs
Day 27 – 05/01 …..206.6….. Not a good start for May but I’ll stay on top of it today.
Day 28 – 05/02 …..207.4….. This time it was a severe sugar drop while in my car the next town over. Feeding frenzy in the car with snacks bought at the gas station. I ate until it stopped. Not good because that usually means it goes too high afterward from the food but I swear, it is instinct to eat, eat, eat until you can feel the difference. My body is really fighting me on dietetic changes. Even exercise. I will win this battle! I know my journey is a bit different than most of yours, but I appreciate you all being here with me on mine as I navigate and overcome.
Day 29 – 05/03 …..207.4….. This should have dropped a bit after a good day yesterday. My body is just fighting me and being stubborn (which is also part of my normal personality lol) but persistence should pay off.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..206.6….. I am traveling today for a bone scan. Found a new kitty in the woods next to my yard day before yesterday. I am trying to find an owner on Facebook but no hits yet. I hope I get to keep her. I’ve already named her Pebbles. She is a sweet young thing.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..208.8….. Crazy ridiculous but I checked it 3 times. Yesterday was little movement due to travel. No breakfast, no lunch and only half my restaurant dinner. But I did eat a mile high slice of cheesecake (that’s why I gave away half my dinner). The numbers don’t add up, hopefully better tomorrow.
Day 32 – 05/06 …..208.6….. I wish it had went down more.
Day 33 – 05/07 …..208.6….. Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..208.6….. Three days in a row! Pushing water today and more movement. So far a pretty day but cold. No rain finally after about 4 days of it. I plan to get out a bit more.
Day 35 – 05/09 …..208.8….. Pasta.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..208.8….. My 61st birthday. I was hoping to gift myself a better number on the scale but there’s no reason my self-gift can’t be late, right? I had a dinner that was very very late last night and the choices were not the greatest due to Mother’s Day eating earlier in the day. I will be celebrating my birthday next Sunday with my kids so today I will gift myself a low cal day. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..208.8….. I had a doctor appointment today. To say she whipped my *kitten* was an understatement. I’m talking about my glucose numbers. That left no time to even talk about my weight! I deserved the whippin’. It’s serious stuff and I’ve got to do better more consistently.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..208.4….. I’m feeling so good I am going to celebrate the (nearly) half pound loss by dancing to a fitness marshall song (When you call me seniorita). That is a much better reward than a piece of chocolate! Yes, treating myself to a gift of music and movement is a great idea!
Day 39 – 05/13 …..207.4….. Tried some Intermittent Fasting again yesterday. A bit of a glucose drop but with it running high it was not an emergency. I handled the feelings well with something light to stop the symptoms without further raising my levels. A pound down today folks! Happy as a lamb!
Day 40 – 05/14 …..207.4….. Intermittent Fasting Day 2 yesterday. It was a bit tougher but I persisted. My daughter and DGS age 3 ½ moved back in yesterday. I am worried about my diet while they are here. Due to my son’s autism, we already cook two different types of meals each meal as he has sensitivity and eating disorders. This would make 3 types per meal. I already feel exhausted and I hope I don’t cave in to what they are having. I’ve got to stick to my guns! If meals are shared, I MUST REMEMBER portion control. This is just another challenge for me and all the answers seem simple on paper. However, in reality, this is going to be difficult.

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green
Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green
Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green
Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning. 867 in the green
Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work. 570 in the Green
Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green
Day 33: Fri, 5/7: 131.3 - Another weird food choice day. I stayed within calories. Vaccine day 102 in the Green
Day 34: Sat, 5/8: 133.8 - Ouch. I will try to get lots of activity in today. 603 in the Green

2ndWeek Actual Weight: 133.3

Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 144.6
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable, and it was something I've eaten before. This has to be some major water retention.

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 133.1 - I actually dnw, I am using my EW from the last round. 1049 in the Green
Day 2: Tues, 4/6: 134.3 - Ouch. 607 in the Green
Day 3: Wed, 4/7: 133.7 - Completely on track. I am starting to wonder if the daily skating for 2 weeks developed me some heavier quads and glutes. 844 in the Green
Day 4: Thurs, 4/8: 132.6 - Saw 131.XX many times in the last 100, trying to get there and beyond. 536 in the Green
Day 5: Fri, 4/9: 133.2 - Extremely early weigh-in, 3am. My schedule is out of wack right now. 516 in the Green
Day 6: Sat, 4/10: 132.1 - Do we have only 6 days in this first week? 439 in the Green
Day 7: Sun, 4/11: 133.8 - Hoping that this is just some sort of weird fluctuation. 565 in the Green
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 132.4 - Better. 846 in the Green
Day 9: Tues, 4/13: 133.7 - Trying not to let this fluctuation upset me. eating and exercise were on point. I am really off of my clock this week adding an evening job into my mix. 765 in the Green
Day 10: Wed, 4/14: 133.3 - I had hoped to have a cushion so that I could have Ribs later this week. After juggling my bunch of jobs, getting home late and eating very late...I may have to delay my Ribs feast. Keeping my workouts up, but only little bits at a time this week. 900 in the Green
Day 11: Thurs, 4/15:: 132.1 - Good, back to last week's EW. 822 in the Green
Day 12: Fri, 4/16: 131.5 - Lowest so far on this journey, fluctuations may happen, but touching it for the first time feels great. 7 in the Green
Day 13: Sat, 4/17: 133.3 - Delicious Ribs last night. Honey Garlic variety this time. Kind of worth the almost 2 pound gain, and expected. I will work it off over the next week. I will have Ribs again in the month of May : - ) Hours of yard work/gardening on the schedule for today on top of Fitness Marshall workouts throughout the day. 865 in the Green
Day 14: Sun, 4/18: 133.1 - Hoping to work the Ribs off over the next few days. I used to have them each week instead of each month. I see why it was impossible for me to take weight off back then. Once per month is enough : - ) 698 in the Green
Day 15: Mon, 4/19: 134.2 : - ( 689 in the Green
Day 16: Tues, 4/20: 133.0 - Better, but 16 days in and only 0.1 under my start weight. Sticking with it. 899 in the Green
Day 17: Wed, 4/21: 132.9 - I have been battling a sore shoulder for 2 weeks, still working out, but modifying. 1187 in the Green
Day 18: Thurs, 4/22: 133.1. I am going to give myself a break after work tonight for the next 2 days and indulge slightly. I will just have to deal with the consequences. I have been going at breakneck pace this week on the work front. 283 in the Green
Day 19: Fri, 4/23: 132.4 - Surprising, because I had appies for dinner: spinach artichoke bites, boneless dry garlic pork, and the like. Calories in and out were on point though. Veered away from my usual chicken breast with 4 veggies and a bit of rice. 893 in the Green
Day 20: Sat, 4/24: 133.5 - I repeated the eating behaviour, so expected this. I needed a break and my weight wasn't changing anyway. Meal prepping today, my day off. 646 in the Green
Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green

Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 131.8 - Better. I actually have 2 days off this week, so I will get some meal prep in and lots of outdoor activity. 290 in the Green
Day 27: Sat, 5/1: 131.6 - Wasn't really that "good" yesterday, but did keep within my calories 1133 in the Green
Day 28: Sun, 5/2: 133.0 - Really? Sticking with it even though I am pretty much back up to my start weight today. 812 in the Green
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 132.2 - Later dinner because of a split shift yesterday, but back to normal for the rest of the week. 428 in the Green
Day 30: Tues, 5/4: 132.4 - Planning to stay "good" until at least Thursday. I know that it takes awhile for that "good" lifestyle to show up on the scale. 123 in the Green
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 132.8 - Poor food choices yesterday. Stayed within calories, but barely. 861 in the Green
Day 32: Thurs, 5/6: 132.0 - That is better. 496 in the Green

I'm Dani and I live in British Columbia, Canada.
35 year old Mother of 2 and trying to shed my Covid Stress/Boredom Pounds 💪🏽1st Weigh in - 04/24 ..... 220lbs .....
Ultimate Weight Goal - 155lbs
STARTING WEIGHT (May 1, 2021): 213.8
MAY GOAL WEIGHT (May 31, 2021): 205Day 27 –05/01 …..213.8….. Woke up ready to kill the beginning of this challenge, even tho I started a month late, I'm ready to shred it! Spent most of the day studying and decluttering our downstairs. Added in a 3.75km walk with my pup.
Day 28 – 05/02 …..213.6….. Today I will be spending most of my time catching up on my studies and working at our janitorial business, great way to up my steps 💪🏽
Day 29 – 05/03 …..213.6….. No change this morning. It's Monday! Working all day and more studying. If I have the energy later I will throw in a work out DVD, since there is rain in the forecast.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..214.0….. not liking the small gain but I am not worried, I have been eating healthy and staying on track. One of these days I will be in oneder land and will forget about this small struggle 💪🏽.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..213.6….. I seem to be hovering over the same weight. Trying to figure out what I can do to help push it. Any suggestions would be great. 😊
Day 32 – 05/06 …..212.8…..finally starting to see the number go down! Let's keep this going 💪🏽 it's BBQ night so I hope I stay within numbers 🙏🏼
Day 33 – 05/07 …..214….. I knew the numbers would rise after lastnight, even tho I stayed under my calories, I believe it is water weight from the salt I consumed. Today has been a good day tho, hopefully it will help bring things back down.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..212.6….. Starting off a new week with a 1.2lb loss. Wish it was more, like last week where I dropped almost 6lbs. Need to get my body moving more and drink more water!
Day 35 – 05/09 …..212.0….. Feeling great and finally starting to see the scale moving again! Today is going to be a lazy day.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..213.4….. Mothers day dinner got to me. I may have eaten a bit too much. 😳 Time to get back after 💪🏽 Happy Monday!!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..212.6….. Going to push having more water as well as green tea. My pup will be excited today when I take her for a walk after work. Then the rest of the night I will be studying for my mid-term.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..212.2….. A bit of a later post today. I've been extremely tired since getting home from work today. Got my first dose of Pfizer so it definitely has knocked me off my feet.
Day 39 – 05/13 …..211.8….. Slowly seeing more progress. Hopefully today is a good day and I am not as exhausted as I was lastnight.
Day 40 – 05/14 …..211.8….. I forgot to post Friday's results!
WEEK ONE PROGRESS: ...1.2lbs... Weight Loss
WEEK TWO PROGRESS: ...2lbs... Weight Loss
Day 41 – 05/15…..210.6….. I am very surprised with this loss today as I ended up overeating and had a couple (4) low calorie adult pops... Either way, I am satisfied with my progress so far! Only 5lbs to go until my first goal!

Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2…..
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2…..
Weight Loss in April……………….. 1.4 lbs
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..1.4 lbs
Day 27 – 05/01 …..206.6…..
Day 28 – 05/02 …..207.4…..
Day 29 – 05/03 …..207.4….. This should have dropped a bit after a good day yesterday. My body is just fighting me and being stubborn (which is also part of my normal personality lol) but persistence should pay off.
Day 30 – 05/04 …..206.6….. I am traveling today for a bone scan. Found a new kitty in the woods next to my yard day before yesterday. I am trying to find an owner on Facebook but no hits yet. I hope I get to keep her. I’ve already named her Pebbles. She is a sweet young thing.
Day 31 – 05/05 …..208.8….. Crazy ridiculous but I checked it 3 times. Yesterday was little movement due to travel. No breakfast, no lunch and only half my restaurant dinner. But I did eat a mile high slice of cheesecake (that’s why I gave away half my dinner). The numbers don’t add up, hopefully better tomorrow.
Day 32 – 05/06 …..208.6….. I wish it had went down more.
Day 33 – 05/07 …..208.6….. Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 34 – 05/08 …..208.6….. Three days in a row! Pushing water today and more movement. So far a pretty day but cold. No rain finally after about 4 days of it. I plan to get out a bit more.
Day 35 – 05/09 …..208.8….. Pasta.
Day 36 – 05/10 …..208.8….. My 61st birthday. I was hoping to gift myself a better number on the scale but there’s no reason my self-gift can’t be late, right? I had a dinner that was very very late last night and the choices were not the greatest due to Mother’s Day eating earlier in the day. I will be celebrating my birthday next Sunday with my kids so today I will gift myself a low cal day. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Day 37 – 05/11 …..208.8….. I had a doctor appointment today. To say she whipped my *kitten* was an understatement. I’m talking about my glucose numbers. That left no time to even talk about my weight! I deserved the whippin’. It’s serious stuff and I’ve got to do better more consistently.
Day 38 – 05/12 …..208.4….. I’m feeling so good I am going to celebrate the (nearly) half pound loss by dancing to a fitness marshall song (When you call me seniorita). That is a much better reward than a piece of chocolate! Yes, treating myself to a gift of music and movement is a great idea!
Day 39 – 05/13 …..207.4….. Tried some Intermittent Fasting again yesterday. A bit of a glucose drop but with it running high it was not an emergency. I handled the feelings well with something light to stop the symptoms without further raising my levels. A pound down today folks! Happy as a lamb!
Day 40 – 05/14 …..207.4….. Intermittent Fasting Day 2 yesterday. It was a bit tougher but I persisted. My daughter and DGS age 3 ½ moved back in yesterday. I am worried about my diet while they are here. Due to my son’s autism, we already cook two different types of meals each meal as he has sensitivity and eating disorders. This would make 3 types per meal. I already feel exhausted and I hope I don’t cave in to what they are having. I’ve got to stick to my guns! If meals are shared, I MUST REMEMBER portion control. This is just another challenge for me and all the answers seem simple on paper. However, in reality, this is going to be difficult.
Day 41 – 05/15…..206.6….. I like the way my fat percentages are going down. So encouraging! A pretty good day yesterday. My daughter and DGS were not home during the dinner hour so I didn’t have any major temptations. That means that I’m not any stronger yet really, but I was smarter yesterday, at least.

7th Week Actual Weight:2 -
Lots of discussion this week with DH ... he is having anxiety about retirement or the thought of retirement. He does not want to be locked down bored out of his mind, just existing, and having the kids rely on us or take advantage of us regarding caring for their kids (which they don't have yet ... but they do drop off the dogs often).
So we are trying to figure it out. What do we want to do for the next 10, 20, 30 years? How long does he need to work (doesn't really)? How long does he want to work (not sure)? What is out there to volunteer? How to build a network of friends when he has worked remotely and flying across the US and was never here (his friends are scattered)? Where do we want to live? Sell the house and move? Keep it and travel?
It comes back to those 3 questions when deciding if you are ready for retirement:
1. Do you have enough? (yes; talked to 3 separate retirement CFAs over the past 4 months)
2. Have you had enough? (Tired of your job or work or the stress of it all ... well yes and no for him ... I think the pandemic has made it difficult because he is not able to engage with customers so he is less happy with his job + it is constant learning to keep up with the technology when you are in the tech data analytics & cloud environment ... he likes learning but not wanting to put up with the HR certifications they want from the younger kids starting out in the industry. Then on top of that they might want him to drive into work ... 40min-hr ... we could sell the house and move closer to his new office inside Houston but not sure that is the answer if he decides to retire or change jobs again).
3. Do you have something else you want to do? (For him the answer is no or he is not sure what he is interested in doing ... build boats (hobby) ... or exactly what ... he doesn't have a vision for this aspect of his next phase of life).
The problem as I see it is when he retires he loses that identity and reputation that is associated to working. I went through it but I was willing to walk away from being being the expert in the room tech wise and working with people worldwide. I made the switch without too much trouble ... but then I had a network of friends from volunteering earlier in life when the kids were younger. I had the "Do you have something else you want to do" checked off while he does not.
The second problem and lots of our friends have mentioned this ... is all these years we've worked and built up savings. When you turn the switch and the money starts flowing out without new flowing in ... that too can be a huge mental challenge. Some friends that retired early said it took a couple of years before they finally felt comfortable with the idea of not accumulating more.
So the talks will continue. The stress and decision making will continue. In the mean time my role is to help him begin networking locally as well as get us to start traveling and using his vacation time. We both have been bad at that over the years because when you travelled so much for work you really don't want to travel for pleasure. But I think going forward that switch too will need to be flipped. Whether it is long staycations renting a place, or backroads.com active traveling, long weekends or local day trips to explore Houston area. We cannot rely on the fishing camp as our source of relaxation and pleasure ... my mom is driving us crazy (me in particular) and with the recent freeze the fishing will be poor for the next year plus.
Me I need to get into better shape for the hiking that I want to do in my 60s! I'm inspired by a friend to explore places around the world. So back to focusing on losing weight this year as I plan a trip hopefully for his fall or early next year.
