4/30 weight: 188.0
May goal: end the month lighter than I started
Lessons learned in April:
- processed carbs (including rice and oats, not just gluten items) don't work for me
- need to consistently drink more water
- need to find ways to be more active throughout the day
- be mindful during the weekend!
- daily weigh-ins and the accountability of this group definitely help me stay on track!
4/30 F - 188.0
5/1 S - 189.4 why??? beats me. no gluten or grains yesterday.
Run plan for the week: run 13m, walk 2m, 3 rounds
5/2 S - (run) 191.8 ok so I know why, gluten'd myself yesterday. Working today, run, and take the dogs on a walk.
5/3 M - 188.8 rain today so will walk on the treadmill
5/4 T - (run) 189.4 running today. The run went really well Sunday so am looking forward to it.
I also agree that the weather can help or hurt my desire to be outside moving. The dogs don't seem to understand that concept ;-)
5/5 W - (zumba) 190.4 Yesterday's run went well, discovered that a slight uptick in speed helped...who knew... Zumba today and hoping for a walk as well. Rice last night. I really hate the water fluctuations, so frustrating. Need to fully commit to no processed carbs.
5/6 T - (run) 190.2 cold and rainy today, that helps nothing at all. But today I'm going to work, and then run.
5/7 F - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
5/8 S - forgot to weigh
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/9 S - (run) 187.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
5/11 T - (run) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak
5/12 W - (zumba) 192.0 gotta drink a ton of water today. My run turned into a walk yesterday, and no dog walk.
5/13 T - 191.0 walk today
5/14 F -
5/15 S - (run)
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds

5/7 - 142.2 - Stuck. Was hoping for a little drop, but happy it didn't climb. Need to study my calorie intake and
see where I need to adjust. Good upper body workout last night. Feeling some muscle soreness this
morning. Pouring down rain so was not able to get a walk in as well.
5/8 - ? no scale, out of town. Did get in a 4.39 mile walk/run. Hoping scales look decent on Monday morning.
Week 3:
5/9 - ? no scale, out of town but I know it's not good. Thunderstorms, not walk. No workout. Fingers crossed tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad. Indulged a bit too much for Mother's Day.
5/10 - 144 should have controlled myself more yesterday but truly enjoyed my poor choices. Lunch out with my kids and did not make healthy choices. Back on track today. Need to be diligent this week in losing the almost 2 pound gain.

Stats/Conditions:
43 year-old female, height near 5'4"
cancerX2, hypothyroid, menopause, PT
January starting weight: 185.0
February starting weight: 182.3
March starting weight: 178.6
April starting weight: 172.6
May starting weight: 173.9
05/01: 173.9 - Off to a good start - H²O only.
05/02: 170.9 - Salt and sugar flushed away???
05/03: 172.6 - I knew yesterday could not be right.
05/04: 173.1 - I need to plan better.
05/05: 173.4 - Evidence that I need to plan better!
05/06: 175.6 - I totally deserve this number.
05/07: 174.4 - Decent day.
05/08: 173.9 - Stayed on course.
05/09: 174.0 - Doing well.
05/10: 171.0 - I'm puzzled by this number.
05/11: 172.4 - Ate a second helping. Grrrr.
05/12: 172.8 - I feel so hungry - or is it stress?
05/13: 174.6 - There is the scale catching up with my overeating. I've been in a bad place mentally all around and physically I feel like I have aged 20 years. I get in my own head that the cancer is back and then I start eating. I am home with the kids all day and I feel so trapped - and then I start eating. I start worrying about bills and losing our health insurance, and I tune it out by snacking on something. I think about how much I have sabatoged my weight loss goals and I feel defeated. I know that I am the only one who can change all this and yet I don't change anything. I've been feeling this way since the end of April. Why am I choosing to feel this way? Why am I not taking charge and changing the routines that I can change? I hope by acknowledging this outloud to myself and this community that I can break through this and start the change.6 -

You can do it think positive and come up with a better way when feeling down, like take a small walk and see how special the world, you and the kids really are!5 -

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. This has to be some major water retention. I will drown myself in H2O today!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA.
Starting Weight (from April 30, 2021): 206.2
Goal: 201.2 (Five lb Loss)
05/01 – 206.6 Not such a good start. Lots of room for improvement. Good luck this round everyone!
05/02 - 207.4 Severe glucose drop yesterday while on the road which led to a quick feeding frenzy. I hate this roller-coaster but I will not give up. It can be done, no matter how my body fights me. I’m the boss!
05/03 - 207.4 No change after a good day is disappointing me but onward I march in this battle.
05/04 - 206.6 A bit better. Traveling today for a bone scan. I will be gone most of the day. A lot of sitting while driving and a meal out at a restaurant may drive the scale back up. I will try to be mindful.
05/05 - 208.8 Crazy number. Skipped two meals and only ate half my dinner so I could have a piece of cheesecake. It was large but in no way should it have caused a 2.2 pound weight gain overnight! Tomorrow should be better!
05/06 - 208.6 Working it back down I hope.
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.
05/08 - 208.6 Stubborn Fat! Ugg
05/09 – 208.8 Struggling.
05/10 – 208.8 My birthday is today but I am not celebrating until next Sunday. I was really hoping I would have been closer to Onederland by my birthday so this is depressing. However, I’m not done yet!
05/11 - 208.4 Little beads of fat slowly dripping off? I hope so. Happy to see a bit of a loss. I have to remember that 0.4 loss is almost half a pound. Sometimes I want to hop on and see 3 pounds suddenly gone and unless I’m losing water weight, that never happens. Especially with fat. Grateful for each step in the right direction today.
05/12 - 207.4 I seem to be able to fix everyone else in so many ways and on so many levels. But why can’t I fix me? At this point, it is almost all a head game and nothing to do with hunger most of the time. I’m working on it. I am glad to see the scale down today. After my doctors appointment, I’ve realized this is not a want. It’s a need. I just kicked one full pound to the curb! Onward I go deeper into the battle!

4/30 weight: 188.0
May goal: end the month lighter than I started
Lessons learned in April:
- processed carbs (including rice and oats, not just gluten items) don't work for me
- need to consistently drink more water
- need to find ways to be more active throughout the day
- be mindful during the weekend!
- daily weigh-ins and the accountability of this group definitely help me stay on track!
4/30 F - 188.0
5/1 S - 189.4 why??? beats me. no gluten or grains yesterday.
Run plan for the week: run 13m, walk 2m, 3 rounds
5/2 S - (run) 191.8 ok so I know why, gluten'd myself yesterday. Working today, run, and take the dogs on a walk.
5/3 M - 188.8 rain today so will walk on the treadmill
5/4 T - (run) 189.4 running today. The run went really well Sunday so am looking forward to it.
I also agree that the weather can help or hurt my desire to be outside moving. The dogs don't seem to understand that concept ;-)
5/5 W - (zumba) 190.4 Yesterday's run went well, discovered that a slight uptick in speed helped...who knew... Zumba today and hoping for a walk as well. Rice last night. I really hate the water fluctuations, so frustrating. Need to fully commit to no processed carbs.
5/6 T - (run) 190.2 cold and rainy today, that helps nothing at all. But today I'm going to work, and then run.
5/7 F - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
5/8 S - forgot to weigh
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/9 S - (run) 187.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
5/11 T - (run) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak
5/12 W - (zumba) 192.0 gotta drink a ton of water today. My run turned into a walk yesterday, and no dog walk.
5/13 T - 191.0 walk today

My name is Tina
MFP starting weight: 149
May starting weight: 142.6 (4/31 weight)
May goal: 135
Ultimate goal: 125
Height: 5'6"
Age: 53
Week 1:
5/1 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
Week 2:
5/2 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
5/3 - 144
5/4 - 144 trying to get correct calorie number
5/5 - 142.2
5/6 - 142.2
5/7 - 142.2 - Stuck. Was hoping for a little drop, but happy it didn't climb. Need to study my calorie intake and
see where I need to adjust. Good upper body workout last night. Feeling some muscle soreness this
morning. Pouring down rain so was not able to get a walk in as well.
5/8 - ? no scale, out of town. Did get in a 4.39 mile walk/run. Hoping scales look decent on Monday morning.
Week 3:
5/9 - ? no scale, out of town but I know it's not good. Thunderstorms, not walk. No workout. Fingers crossed tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad. Indulged a bit too much for Mother's Day.
5/10 - 144 should have controlled myself more yesterday but truly enjoyed my poor choices. Lunch out with my kids and did not make healthy choices. Back on track today. Need to be diligent this week in losing the almost 2 pound gain.
5/11 - 143.2:)
5/12 - 141.6 That Mother's Day increase is gone! Much faster than I expected.
5/13 - 141.0
5/14 - 141.06 -

I've been in a bad place mentally all around and physically I feel like I have aged 20 years. I get in my own head that the cancer is back and then I start eating. I am home with the kids all day and I feel so trapped - and then I start eating. I start worrying about bills and losing our health insurance, and I tune it out by snacking on something. I think about how much I have sabatoged my weight loss goals and I feel defeated. I know that I am the only one who can change all this and yet I don't change anything. I've been feeling this way since the end of April. Why am I choosing to feel this way? Why am I not taking charge and changing the routines that I can change? I hope by acknowledging this outloud to myself and this community that I can break through this and start the change.
So much of life is a mental battle, and often we do it to ourselves. Self-doubt, self-attack, self-sabotage, the negative words we tell ourselves. Try to counteract each negative thought with a positive.
the cancer is back --> I beat cancer
I'm at home with the kids all day --> I love watching my kids grow and change
worry about bills and insurance --> I'm thankful for the job and insurance
Life is not all about the scale. Consider doing one thing for someone else today. Buy a flower at the grocery and give it to someone. Complement someone's hair/clothing. If you watch for a way to bless someone, you will also be blessed. Bringing a moment of joy to someone brings you joy. Hang in there - you are not failing, you are learning and changing.5 -

At this point, it is almost all a head game and nothing to do with hunger most of the time. I’m working on it. I am glad to see the scale down today. After my doctors appointment, I’ve realized this is not a want. It’s a need. I just kicked one full pound to the curb! Onward I go deeper into the battle!
I think as women we focus on everyone else and put their needs above our own; often we aren't even on the list. Schedule yourself on the calendar, whether it's a walk, a bath, or a quiet cup of coffee sitting outside. The scale is such a mental battle, we are emotional creatures and the scale is all logic. You are learning more about yourself, which is a huge step towards change.

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. This has to be some major water retention. I will drown myself in H2O today!

5/4: 198.2 lbs
5/5: 198.6 lbs
5/6: 197.0 lbs this was exciting but I'm not expecting this to stick. lol
5/7: 196.8 lbs well it stayed off for one day. fingers crossed!
5/8: 198.2 lbs I ate some fries super late last night so I am surprised the jump is this small.
5/9: 198.6 lbs Happy Mother's Day!! I had a gluten filled cinnamon roll this morning. It was delicious and hopefully worth how bad I feel later. 😂
5/10: 198.2 lbs I hope everyone had a great weekend!
5/11: 198.4 lbs I ate so much junk yesterday. it was within my calorie limit but it was junk and much later than normal. here's hoping i make better choices today.
5/12: 197.8 lbs
5/13: 197.0 lbs super late weigh in after a fasted run.
5/14: 198.8 lbs I woke up super bloated this morning for some reason. I can't believe I had this almost 2 lb gain overnight. I didn't eat much yesterday and I didn't eat late. IDK what's going on.6 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA.
Starting Weight (from April 30, 2021): 206.2
Goal: 201.2 (Five lb Loss)
05/01 – 206.6 Not such a good start. Lots of room for improvement. Good luck this round everyone!
05/02 - 207.4 Severe glucose drop yesterday while on the road which led to a quick feeding frenzy. I hate this roller-coaster but I will not give up. It can be done, no matter how my body fights me. I’m the boss!
05/03 - 207.4 No change after a good day is disappointing me but onward I march in this battle.
05/04 - 206.6 A bit better. Traveling today for a bone scan. I will be gone most of the day. A lot of sitting while driving and a meal out at a restaurant may drive the scale back up. I will try to be mindful.
05/05 - 208.8 Crazy number. Skipped two meals and only ate half my dinner so I could have a piece of cheesecake. It was large but in no way should it have caused a 2.2 pound weight gain overnight! Tomorrow should be better!
05/06 - 208.6 Working it back down I hope.
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.
05/08 - 208.6 Stubborn Fat! Ugg
05/09 – 208.8 Struggling.
05/10 – 208.8 My birthday is today but I am not celebrating until next Sunday. I was really hoping I would have been closer to Onederland by my birthday so this is depressing. However, I’m not done yet!
05/11 - 208.4 Little beads of fat slowly dripping off? I hope so. Happy to see a bit of a loss. I have to remember that 0.4 loss is almost half a pound. Sometimes I want to hop on and see 3 pounds suddenly gone and unless I’m losing water weight, that never happens. Especially with fat. Grateful for each step in the right direction today.
05/12 - 207.4 I seem to be able to fix everyone else in so many ways and on so many levels. But why can’t I fix me? At this point, it is almost all a head game and nothing to do with hunger most of the time. I’m working on it. I am glad to see the scale down today. After my doctors appointment, I’ve realized this is not a want. It’s a need. I just kicked one full pound to the curb! Onward I go deeper into the battle!
05/13 - 207.4 Trying to do a little intermittent fasting. Yesterday was day 2. I was getting very hungry about 2 hours before the end but I used water and black coffee and pushed through. My daughter and DGS aged 3 ½ moved back in yesterday. I am worried about how this will affect my diet.
