100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #8
Replies

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
Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month.
748 in the RED
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

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

Week 1 GAIN: +3.2
Day 8: Mon, 4/12: 151
Day 9: Tue, 4/13: 150.4

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.

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

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.
Day 42 – 05/16 …..206.6….. A Wonderful day of rest yesterday as my daughter and DGS stayed the evening and night with her girlfriend. I kept my diet about perfect but not much movement. Just rest that I badly needed from not sleeping the night before. Spa day today as a delayed birthday celebration. Yay!
Day 43 – 05/17 …..206.8….. After 3 celebration days this week, I am happy to be maintaining. Hopefully nothing will “catch up to me” in the coming days and the progress will continue. No IF yesterday on spa day, but I will get back at it today.
Day 44 – 05/18 …..206.8….. My daughter brought me in butter pecan gelato last night. Ugh! Bad influence. I ate it and am grateful that I had made a very low calorie and low carb dinner for us both! I am hoping for a good day today. I must stay strong! I’ll have a talk with her today!
Day 45 – 05/19 …..206.6….. A much better day today where I practiced some portion control. I am trying to break the habit of eating quantities I have been used to in the past regarless of my hunger level. I ate about half the usual amount and was totally satisfied. Having a lot of protein involved helped with the portion control this time.
Day 46 – 05/20 …..209.6…… It seems IMPOSSIBLE! I suspect sodium.
Day 47 – 05/21 .….209.6…… Extra water. Peed all night but no budge on the scale. I did have leftover soup for lunch. Freezing the rest today.
Day 48 – 05/22 …..209.6…… Stuck
Day 49 – 05/23 …..210.8…… 2 pcs of banana nut bread with choco chips (not both pieces at the same time). The carbs really need to go. Can I manage that with my daughter and DGS here? It feels like an uphill battle.
Day 50 – 05/24 …..210.8…… Absolutely no activity yesterday. Very few steps or movement due to my schedule. Today I travel. Dinner will be out. I’ll try to keep it real.
Day 51 – 05/25 …..209.8…… A light dinner and over 5 hours of sleep helped. I kept the restaurant meal yesterday (lunch) very reasonable.

All the company at my house has left, my DD & her husband are on their honeymoon, my mom is around for a couple more days for doctors’ appts, and I’m caring for DD’s 2 golden doodles … so lots of walking planned this week as well as running mom around and gardening!

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
Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month.
748 in the RED
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

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!

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.
Week 4 Loss: +2
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 147.2
Day 30: Tue, 5/4: 146.2
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 146.6

Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 143.4
Day 49: Sun, 5/23: 143.6
Week 7 Loss: -0.4 (from lowest weight last week)
Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 143.8 Wobble, wobble
Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.3 -

Day 44 – 05/18 …..206.8….. My daughter brought me in butter pecan gelato last night. Ugh! Bad influence. I ate it and am grateful that I had made a very low calorie and low carb dinner for us both! I am hoping for a good day today. I must stay strong! I’ll have a talk with her today!
Day 45 – 05/19 …..206.6….. A much better day today where I practiced some portion control. I am trying to break the habit of eating quantities I have been used to in the past regarless of my hunger level. I ate about half the usual amount and was totally satisfied. Having a lot of protein involved helped with the portion control this time.
Day 46 – 05/20 …..209.6…… It seems IMPOSSIBLE! I suspect sodium.
Day 47 – 05/21 .….209.6…… Extra water. Peed all night but no budge on the scale. I did have leftover soup for lunch. Freezing the rest today.
Day 48 – 05/22 …..209.6…… Stuck
Day 49 – 05/23 …..210.8…… 2 pcs of banana nut bread with choco chips (not both pieces at the same time). The carbs really need to go. Can I manage that with my daughter and DGS here? It feels like an uphill battle.
Day 50 – 05/24 …..210.8…… Absolutely no activity yesterday. Very few steps or movement due to my schedule. Today I travel. Dinner will be out. I’ll try to keep it real.
Day 51 – 05/25 …..209.8…… A light dinner and over 5 hours of sleep helped. I kept the restaurant meal yesterday (lunch) very reasonable.
Day 52 – 05/26 …..208.6…… Happy that it’s better. I did not make good choices with my “snacks” though my meals were on target. Trouble sleeping so my weigh-in was late.

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 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month.
748 in the RED
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

Day 43 – 05/17 …..206.8…..
Day 44 – 05/18 …..206.8….. My daughter brought me in butter pecan gelato last night. Ugh! Bad influence. I ate it and am grateful that I had made a very low calorie and low carb dinner for us both! I am hoping for a good day today. I must stay strong! I’ll have a talk with her today!
Day 45 – 05/19 …..206.6….. A much better day today where I practiced some portion control. I am trying to break the habit of eating quantities I have been used to in the past regarless of my hunger level. I ate about half the usual amount and was totally satisfied. Having a lot of protein involved helped with the portion control this time.
Day 46 – 05/20 …..209.6…… It seems IMPOSSIBLE! I suspect sodium.
Day 47 – 05/21 .….209.6…… Extra water. Peed all night but no budge on the scale. I did have leftover soup for lunch. Freezing the rest today.
Day 48 – 05/22 …..209.6…… Stuck
Day 49 – 05/23 …..210.8…… 2 pcs of banana nut bread with choco chips (not both pieces at the same time). The carbs really need to go. Can I manage that with my daughter and DGS here? It feels like an uphill battle.
Day 50 – 05/24 …..210.8…… Absolutely no activity yesterday. Very few steps or movement due to my schedule. Today I travel. Dinner will be out. I’ll try to keep it real.
Day 51 – 05/25 …..209.8…… A light dinner and over 5 hours of sleep helped. I kept the restaurant meal yesterday (lunch) very reasonable.
Day 52 – 05/26 …..208.6…… Happy that it’s better. I did not make good choices with my “snacks” though my meals were on target. Trouble sleeping so my weigh-in was late.
Day 53 – 05/27 …..207.2…… I am working it back down with some better choices. I hope to get in more activity today. Limited somewhat but steps should (at least) be good. Babysitting DGS today.

Challenge SW: 148.8 (4/4)
Challenge GW: 134.8
Day 1: Mon, 4/5: 152.2 Result of too much Easter yesterday haha!
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

Day 26: Fri, 4/30: 146
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.
Week 4 Loss: +2
Day 29: Mon, 5/3: 147.2
Day 30: Tue, 5/4: 146.2
Day 31: Wed, 5/5: 146.6

Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 151.4 Too much Mother’s Day yesterday! Back on track today.
Day 37: Tue, 5/11: 147.2 Drank lots of water yesterday.
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 145.6
Day 39: Thu, 5/13: 144.4 Weekend bloat gone!
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 144
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 144.8 Possible water retention because I was well under my calories yesterday and had over 10K steps.
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 148.8
Week 6 Loss: -0.2
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 149.6 Had a very indulgent off-plan weekend.

Day 46: Thu, 5/20: 144.6
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 143.6
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 143.4
Day 49: Sun, 5/23: 143.6
Week 7 Loss: -0.4 (from lowest weight last week)
Day 50: Mon, 5/24: 143.8 Wobble, wobble
Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.
Day 53: Thu, 5/27: 143.43 -

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

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.
Week 4 Loss: +2

Day 51: Tue, 5/25: 143.4
Day 52: Wed, 5/26: 144 Had Mexican food last night, just chicken tacos, tortilla chips, refried bean dip and salsa. Didn't eat to the point of feeling full, and was within calories (including exercise) if I input the correct info. The restaurant didn't have nutrition info available, so I used info in MFP food database. Suspect this bump up is sodium so I'll be hitting the H2O hard today. My goal is to be 142.x Friday.
Day 53: Thu, 5/27: 143.4
Day 54: Fri, 5/28: 143.43 -
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
Day 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green
Day 45: Wed, 5/19: 131.9 - Happy to see this number. I am awake a bit longer getting up so early for the newest job, but somehow didn't eat more. 619 in th4e Green
Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month. 748 in the RED
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

Day 42 – 05/16 …..206.6…..
Day 43 – 05/17 …..206.8…..
Day 44 – 05/18 …..206.8….. My daughter brought me in butter pecan gelato last night. Ugh! Bad influence. I ate it and am grateful that I had made a very low calorie and low carb dinner for us both! I am hoping for a good day today. I must stay strong! I’ll have a talk with her today!
Day 45 – 05/19 …..206.6….. A much better day today where I practiced some portion control. I am trying to break the habit of eating quantities I have been used to in the past regarless of my hunger level. I ate about half the usual amount and was totally satisfied. Having a lot of protein involved helped with the portion control this time.
Day 46 – 05/20 …..209.6…… It seems IMPOSSIBLE! I suspect sodium.
Day 47 – 05/21 .….209.6…… Extra water. Peed all night but no budge on the scale. I did have leftover soup for lunch. Freezing the rest today.
Day 48 – 05/22 …..209.6…… Stuck
Day 49 – 05/23 …..210.8…… 2 pcs of banana nut bread with choco chips (not both pieces at the same time). The carbs really need to go. Can I manage that with my daughter and DGS here? It feels like an uphill battle.
Day 50 – 05/24 …..210.8…… Absolutely no activity yesterday. Very few steps or movement due to my schedule. Today I travel. Dinner will be out. I’ll try to keep it real.
Day 51 – 05/25 …..209.8…… A light dinner and over 5 hours of sleep helped. I kept the restaurant meal yesterday (lunch) very reasonable.
Day 52 – 05/26 …..208.6…… Happy that it’s better. I did not make good choices with my “snacks” though my meals were on target. Trouble sleeping so my weigh-in was late.
Day 53 – 05/27 …..207.2…… I am working it back down with some better choices. I hope to get in more activity today. Limited somewhat but steps should (at least) be good. Babysitting DGS today.
Day 54 – 05/28 …..207.0…… A bit of a binge last night. Just couldn’t get full. But meals during the day were very good so I still saw a small drop this morning. I wish I could say I’ve got everything under control, but I know I don’t. I am still working on myself.

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 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 35: Sun, 5/9: 134.3 - Way too high, hoping it is just a fluke. 811 in the Green
Day 36: Mon, 5/10: 133.2 - Busy week, going to make sure to stay on track. 691 in the Green
Day 37: Tues, 5/11: 133.8 - Still putting in the effort, but disappointed with the scale. 453 in the Green
Day 38: Wed, 5/12: 133.4 - Kind of gave up a little last night, poor food choices even though still within calories. I need to make sure that nutrition is the most important thing. 453 in the Green
Day 39: Thurs, 5/13: 133.2 - Almost back to my start weight of 39 days ago. I have hit those 131s a few times and was hopeful. 674 in the Green
Day 40: Fri, 5/14: 131.3 - I was planning my monthly dose of Ribs tonight, I may postpone that, we'll see. 168 in the Green
Day 41: Sat, 5/15: 132.1 - Down one pound in 41 days 1150 in the Green
Day 42: Sun, 5/16: 132.1 - Heading into a very busy week with a new schedule (up at 2:30am) so focusing on nutrition. 739 in the Green
Day 43: Mon, 5/17: 132.8 - Not sure why the gain, I have been on point. The next 3 weeks will be challenging adding in this extra training for an additional job. 9-5 today and then will pretty much need to eat and go straight to bed for my 2:30 alarm clock tomorrow. 434 in the Green
Day 44: Tues, 5/18: 133.1 - 2:30am weigh in. Maybe on the weekend I will weigh way less : - ) 938 in the Green

Day 46: Thurs, 5/20: 132.7 - Needing a good BM, the new schedule is wreaking a bit of havoc with my guts. I have never had an issue in this area before. 929 in the Green
Day 47: Fri, 5/21: 130.1 - New low, yay! I didn't keep that extra job that had me waking up (and weighing) at 2:30am. Weighed at 7:30 this morning so got these great results. I expect it will jump around, as it does. Plus, I haven't had my Ribs yet this month. 748 in the RED
Day 48: Sat, 5/22: 132.0 - My monthly Ribs last night. Kind of worth the gain, delicious. 731 in the Green

I love Blackened food. I have some spices here (I had blackened chicken last night), but can never really replicate the way that they make it in New Orleans. It has been years since I have been there.
Hoping that you have a fabulous time, and also that you post some photos : - )2 -

Day 44 – 05/18 …..206.8….. My daughter brought me in butter pecan gelato last night. Ugh! Bad influence. I ate it and am grateful that I had made a very low calorie and low carb dinner for us both! I am hoping for a good day today. I must stay strong! I’ll have a talk with her today!
Day 45 – 05/19 …..206.6….. A much better day today where I practiced some portion control. I am trying to break the habit of eating quantities I have been used to in the past regarless of my hunger level. I ate about half the usual amount and was totally satisfied. Having a lot of protein involved helped with the portion control this time.
Day 46 – 05/20 …..209.6…… It seems IMPOSSIBLE! I suspect sodium.
Day 47 – 05/21 .….209.6…… Extra water. Peed all night but no budge on the scale. I did have leftover soup for lunch. Freezing the rest today.
Day 48 – 05/22 …..209.6…… Stuck
Day 49 – 05/23 …..210.8…… 2 pcs of banana nut bread with choco chips (not both pieces at the same time). The carbs really need to go. Can I manage that with my daughter and DGS here? It feels like an uphill battle.
Day 50 – 05/24 …..210.8…… Absolutely no activity yesterday. Very few steps or movement due to my schedule. Today I travel. Dinner will be out. I’ll try to keep it real.
Day 51 – 05/25 …..209.8…… A light dinner and over 5 hours of sleep helped. I kept the restaurant meal yesterday (lunch) very reasonable.
Day 52 – 05/26 …..208.6…… Happy that it’s better. I did not make good choices with my “snacks” though my meals were on target. Trouble sleeping so my weigh-in was late.
Day 53 – 05/27 …..207.2…… I am working it back down with some better choices. I hope to get in more activity today. Limited somewhat but steps should (at least) be good. Babysitting DGS today.
Day 54 – 05/28 …..207.0…… A bit of a binge last night. Just couldn’t get full. But meals during the day were very good so I still saw a small drop this morning. I wish I could say I’ve got everything under control, but I know I don’t. I am still working on myself.
Day 55 – 05/29 …..205.6…… It was not a perfect diet day but I did keep my meals to great portion control and good choices. I really must choose my snacks better. Low movement. A bit of a rest day. Happy to see the weight continuing down. My good thoughtful meals are making the difference.
