My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
September results: -.2
September end weight: 135.0
October starting weight: 134.8
October goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
Ultimate goal weight: 128
Goals for the month: 3 days of exercise a week and complete logging EVERY day no matter how bad it is.
10/01 - 134.8 (135.4 trend)
10/02 - DNW
10/03 - DNW - 4 mile walk
10/04 - 136.2 (135.7 trend)
- Already screwed up my goals for the month. Did not log over the weekend. Ate out several times and it is so difficult trying to figure out entries. It is a new week and from this point on I will log everything. Going to try and avoid eating out for a bit and concentrate on getting the exercise done each week. I think I may check out the gym at work. It's free and I can stop there after work before heading home.
10/05 - 136.4 (135.8 trend)
- No exercise and ate poorly. No excuses, just didn't do what I needed to do.
10/06 - 135.2 (135.7 trend)
-had physical activity at work that is not normal, workout and a walk after work and kept a deficit in calories yesterday. Paid off. Just need to keep it up
10/07 - 135.6 (135.7 trend)
-late night snacking
10/08 - 135.6 (135.7 trend)
- ice cream put me over last night. No exercise so glad to see no increase.
10/09 - DNW
10/10 - DNW
10/11 - 139.4 (137.0 trend)
-Fell off the wagon. Took a couple days off and unfortunately ate and drank whatever I felt like. College age daughter is home for Fall Break which is not an excuse, but I totally treated her and my son to too many meals out. Also had some sinus issues going on and felt bad so very little activity. A lot of laying around. Was not expecting this big a jump. Time to get back on the wagon, fix this crazy increase and get myself moving in the right direction! I really want to hit 130 before the holidays start. I CAN DO THIS!
10/12 - 136.0 (136.9 trend)
-started a juice cleanse yesterday. Bloated and miserable from the weekend overeating. Wasn't expecting a drop after one day, but there it was this morning. Curious what the scales will say tomorrow.
10/13 - 133.8 (136.5 trend)
-this juice cleanse is working much better than the last one. Must be more fluid to get rid of this time around. 5.6 pounds down in two days. Last time was a total of 3 pound for three days. Not complaining at all, just shocked. One more day. Final result will be interesting to see tomorrow. Definitely not bloated any longer. Feeling much more comfortable10 -

10/9 - 184.4 today of my birthday so there will be cake, actually wedding cake as I’m going to a wedding this morning.
10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!
10/13 - 182.6 - Another drop, but I was way low on calories yesterday, but I'll take it. Yay!

Like clockwork, I am up a pound today (water retention). My weight will stay up for about four days. Hoping for a good weigh-in on Sunday. Until then, I just shoot not-so-nice gestures at the scale daily.

10/1 - 186.6 got my motivation firmly in place, I will make progress by year-end. Aiming for 175 by 12/31. There - I said it, it's in writing, I have a plan, now I just need to execute my plan. My husband is working it with me, and we always do better when we pull together. TGIF!!
10/2 - 186.2 rainy here in Indiana so planning on a treadmill walk while watching a Hallmark movie. Actually, I think I'll get my day's food logged in and go walk before the day gets completely away from me.
10/3 - 185.8 thrilled to have another lower number, 3 days in a row. Staying determined and motivated! Am doing food prep today (after a grocery run), laundry, and hopefully getting the dogs out for a walk, otherwise another treadmill journey for me.
10/4 - 186.6 Monday morning bounce, although I also didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did get my grocery run done, food prep, and laundry. I should have started with the exercise though. Will do better today; still rainy so will have a lunch treadmill walk shortly. Food is logged.
10/5 - 186.6 failed on exercise yesterday. sigh. I struggle putting myself on the to-do list. Food planned and logged though.
10/6 - 185.8 still no exercise. Funeral home viewing tonight, service tomorrow with lunch after.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.
10/8 - 186.6
10/9 - 185.2 Today's plan is work - meal plan - walk.
10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work
10/11 - 186.0 no idea why, walked 5 miles yesterday. Today is work and a trip to the Y, it's been too long.

************************************************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0.....(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.

10/1 - 220.3 Ready for a great month. Positive vibes!
10/2 - 219.4 Need to desperately break out of the 219-220 cycle. Travel day today so I know the scale won’t be happy tomorrow.
10/3 - 220.8 Expected. Back to tracking my calories and carbs today!
10/4 - 221.1 Fun with friends so wasn’t surprised.

10/10 - 222.7 WTF 🤬 How? Ate within my calorie goal, no snacking which is a big win, and 3 mile walk.
10/11 - 223.1 😟 4mile walk yesterday
10/12 - 220.5 🤷🏽♀️ Thinking about taking a break from the scale for a few days. It’s been a rollercoaster. We’ll see. It’s such a part of my daily routine.
10/13 - 223.7 🤔 3 mile walk yesterday
You are not alone!
I call my scale a sour patch kid. One day it's sour the next day it's sweet. To keep me off the ledge I think that I'm gaining muscle or retaining water which is the cause of the uptick. Do you have any tips or rituals that you can share that keep you out of your head on the days when the scale goes up? 5 -
AHHH...It's Wednesday...
The most mundane day of my week.
I really hate slow days at work because they oddly take all the energy I have for working out. I will try to find something in the reserve tank because it's GLUTES AND HAMMIES DAY!
October Stats...
UGW: 150s
Oct SW: 223
Oct GW: 215 (Original goal) 220 (Edited to be more realistic)
10/8 - 223 Will perform two of Chloe Ting's fitness programs on YT and K.O. with 5 quad exercises ranging in 3 sets x 10-15 reps
10/9 - 227 The most movement I did was bring a fork to my mouth:/
10/10 - No weigh-ins, no workouts...just vibes
10/11 - Debating on weighing in during my cycle, I usually gain 3-10 pounds in water weight. Weight lifting about 10-12 reps x 5 sets for 5 exercises. (Deficit Deadlifts, Standing DB Overhead Shoulder Press, Seated Arnold Press, Lying Leg Curl, Back Extensions), followed by a HIIT workout for cardio and finishing with 10 min sprint on the treadmill.
10/11 (Evening) - After saying I was not going to weigh myself, I did it anyway. Let's just say...the scale had me crying all mf'n night. hehe. (234 yikes!!!!):'(
10/12 - 229...a lot more acceptable but I may need to adjust something in my routine. Push day in full effect with either running or indoor cycling for HIIT
10/13 - 228.60 The water weight is slowly but surely leaving my body. I am increasing my water intake to speed up the process. It's a small dent but I'm not 229 anymore so that's a plus.
Glutes/Hammies/Inner thigh day so I plan to leave the gym with baby giraffe legs. (If you do not know what I mean, please google Baby Giraffe Tries to Stand/Walk and thank me later.)

Do you have any tips or rituals that you can share that keep you out of your head on the days when the scale goes up?
Honestly, I do not deal with it well sometimes. When I saw my weight on the 11th, I could’ve cried. One thing I do is verbalize my frustration to someone that I know will just listen and not try to offer much advice lol. I’ve been through the weight struggles, water retention, gaining from a lot of weight training so I know I will have these fluctuations but it is still sooo frustrating so I have to air it out with someone then I decided that I’m going to keep pushing and hopefully my body will release what it’s holding onto. My main push is that I’m not working out and eating healthy temporarily. I want it to be my lifestyle. That’s my goal. Doesn’t mean I want have drinks or a cheat meal sometimes but I want to have a healthy body for the rest of my life.6 -

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
September results: -.2
September end weight: 135.0
October starting weight: 134.8
October goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
Ultimate goal weight: 128
10/01 - 134.8 (135.4 trend)
10/02 - DNW
10/03 - DNW - 4 mile walk
10/04 - 136.2 (135.7 trend) - Already screwed up my goals for the month. Did not log over the weekend. Ate out several times and it is so difficult trying to figure out entries. It is a new week and from this point on I will log everything. Going to try and avoid eating out for a bit and concentrate on getting the exercise done each week. I think I may check out the gym at work. It's free and I can stop there after work before heading home.
10/05 - 136.4 (135.8 trend) - No exercise and ate poorly. No excuses, just didn't do what I needed to do.
10/06 - 135.2 (135.7 trend) -had physical activity at work that is not normal, workout and a walk after work and kept a deficit in calories yesterday. Paid off. Just need to keep it up
10/07 - 135.6 (135.7 trend) -late night snacking
10/08 - 135.6 (135.7 trend) - ice cream put me over last night. No exercise so glad to see no increase.
10/09 - DNW
10/10 - DNW
10/11 - 139.4 (137.0 trend) -Fell off the wagon. Took a couple days off and unfortunately ate and drank whatever I felt like. College age daughter is home for Fall Break which is not an excuse, but I totally treated her and my son to too many meals out. Also had some sinus issues going on and felt bad so very little activity. A lot of laying around. Was not expecting this big a jump. Time to get back on the wagon, fix this crazy increase and get myself moving in the right direction! I really want to hit 130 before the holidays start. I CAN DO THIS!
10/12 - 136.0 (136.9 trend) -started a 3 day juice cleanse yesterday. Bloated and miserable from the weekend overeating. Wasn't expecting a drop after one day, but there it was this morning. Curious what the scales will say tomorrow.
10/13 - 133.8 (136.5 trend) -this juice cleanse is working much better than the last one. Must be more fluid to get rid of this time around. 5.6 pounds down in two days. Last time was a total of 3 pound for three days. Not complaining at all, just shocked. One more day. Final result will be interesting to see tomorrow. Definitely not bloated any longer. Feeling much more comfortable
10/14 - 132.2 (135.9 trend) - yesterday was my last day of the juice cleanse and the most difficult. Wanted real food so badly. It was ok to eat fresh fruits and veggies with it so I did do that. I was glad when I stepped on the scale this morning that I didn't break the cleanse. 7.2 pounds down in three days! Now to continue without gaining it all back

10/10 - 185.4 - up a pound, but I think that will be ok once my body works through the sodium from the last two days. No worries.
10/11 - 184.8 - a little down from the up, hopefully I'll have purged all the salt by tomorrow and see a loss.
10/12 - 183.4 - the weekend bloat is gone and showing an actual loss now. Yay!!!

10/1 - 186.6 got my motivation firmly in place, I will make progress by year-end. Aiming for 175 by 12/31. There - I said it, it's in writing, I have a plan, now I just need to execute my plan. My husband is working it with me, and we always do better when we pull together. TGIF!!
10/2 - 186.2 rainy here in Indiana so planning on a treadmill walk while watching a Hallmark movie. Actually, I think I'll get my day's food logged in and go walk before the day gets completely away from me.
10/3 - 185.8 thrilled to have another lower number, 3 days in a row. Staying determined and motivated! Am doing food prep today (after a grocery run), laundry, and hopefully getting the dogs out for a walk, otherwise another treadmill journey for me.
10/4 - 186.6 Monday morning bounce, although I also didn't exercise at all yesterday. I did get my grocery run done, food prep, and laundry. I should have started with the exercise though. Will do better today; still rainy so will have a lunch treadmill walk shortly. Food is logged.
10/5 - 186.6 failed on exercise yesterday. sigh. I struggle putting myself on the to-do list. Food planned and logged though.
10/6 - 185.8 still no exercise. Funeral home viewing tonight, service tomorrow with lunch after.
10/7 - 185.6 Funeral service and lunch today, will make the best choices I can since I'm not in control of the food options.
10/8 - 186.6
10/9 - 185.2 Today's plan is work - meal plan - walk.
10/10 - 184.8 plan for today is grocery - meal prep - walk - laundry - work
10/11 - 186.0 no idea why, walked 5 miles yesterday. Today is work and a trip to the Y, it's been too long.

10/16 - 28th anniversary!
I'm reminded by @Splendamami to drink more water, I've slacked off lately and it definitely does cause me to retain fluid when I don't get my water in.9 -
@LuckiS32 Thank you for sharing!! Your honesty is refreshing. I've felt the same way about crying over the scale but your response lets me know that some days it's okay to be disappointed. Just don't give up on the journey.
October Stats...
UGW: 150s
Oct SW: 223
Oct GW: 215 (Original goal) 220 (Edited to be more realistic)
10/8 - 223 Will perform two of Chloe Ting's fitness programs on YT and K.O. with 5 quad exercises ranging in 3 sets x 10-15 reps
10/9 - 227 The most movement I did was bring a fork to my mouth:/
10/10 - No weigh-ins, no workouts...just vibes
10/11 - Debating on weighing in during my cycle, I usually gain 3-10 pounds in water weight. Weight lifting about 10-12 reps x 5 sets for 5 exercises. (Deficit Deadlifts, Standing DB Overhead Shoulder Press, Seated Arnold Press, Lying Leg Curl, Back Extensions), followed by a HIIT workout for cardio and finishing with 10 min sprint on the treadmill.
10/11 (Evening) - After saying I was not going to weigh myself, I did it anyway. Let's just say...the scale had me crying all mf'n night. hehe. (234 yikes!!!!):'(
10/12 - 229...a lot more acceptable but I may need to adjust something in my routine. Push day in full effect with either running or indoor cycling for HIIT
10/13 - 228.60 The water weight is slowly but surely leaving my body. I am increasing my water intake to speed up the process. It's a small dent but I'm not 229 anymore so that's a plus. Glutes/Hammies/Inner thigh day so I plan to leave the gym with baby giraffe legs. (If you do not know what I mean, please google Baby Giraffe Tries to Stand/Walk and thank me later.)
10/13 - 228.60 Maintaining weight...not sure how I actually feel about
Will add a HIIT workout after today's weight lifting schedule. Also, need to work on protein and water intake. Baby, somebody really should have told me I needed to eat my weight in protein BEFORE I became 200+ pounds. Will be keeping in mind that @nikkit321 is out there drinking her water so no excuses.

@TinaLeigh67
I did the Wild Rose cleanse (12 days) once or twice a year for probably 30 years. The last couple of times that I did it was around 4 years ago it did not make me feel better, and I definitely did not lose any weight.
Before you started on your 3 day one I had been thinking that I might need to do some sort of cleanse to refresh, reset, and...cleanse lol.
When you say juice cleanse, are you talking about lemon cayenne maple syrup?

******************************
10/01-…...187.0 Well, there I am, off to a bad start. I had a full-on binge last night so this is not surprising. Today I will try to compensate as best I can but tomorrow may be a travel day. That means restaurant meal and less than normal movement. Ugg, why does it have to be such a rough road?
10/02-.…..185.0 I worked outside yesterday on painting and staining. Over 16,000 steps back & forth into the house. 6 flights of stairs and 2900 calorie burn overall for the day. That helped. I stuck to my guns and avoided over-snacking last night which is my #1 downfall. It all paid off. Today is travel so tomorrow the scale will be up again due to restaurant meal and lots of car sitting/driving but no worries. I will quickly turn it back around.
10/03-.…..187.0 My body really seems to like that 187 range but I’m afraid that I’m going to be putting it in the rear view mirror for good. Sorry body! This is the after travel uptick I expected. With the rain and the handymen here today, movement will be difficult but my diet can stay on point. Going to use my stairs in my house for some extra calorie burn!
10/04-.…. 187.2…..Some unexpected travel yesterday which took me away for about 4 hours late afternoon until evening. However, the shorter trip did not blow my dietary goals. I just lacked movement and as much water as I would normally drink. I hope today goes smoother.
.
10/05-.…..186.8…..I did sneak in a few extra calories last night after I closed out, but not enough to hurt the scale. I’m so glad to see a drop today. It’s time to see 185 point anything again. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
10/06-.…..184.6…..Body functions worked good yesterday (finally). Nice to see a drop on the scale and find out where I really am.
10/07-.…..184.8….. A normal fluctuation. All is well and yesterday was a good day. I am so happy to hanging around in the 184 range. Aiming for another good day today!
10/08-.…..185.6…..I have no idea in this world of ours why there was a gain. My macros were good, my calories were in the green, I had even more exercise than I logged. Nothing too salty to eat. Perhaps my body is just compensating a little for the large recent drops. In any case, I am still down from this round’s start so I’ll not sweat it and just trust the process.
10/09-.…..184.0…..Okay, there’s the adjustment over yesterday’s strange weigh-in. I am hoping to have another very good day today. Rain expected all day and a new handyman is here for the first time for a new phase of my projects. I’ll try using the stairs inside for some steps and movement.
10/10-.…..185.6…..I didn’t expect that big of an uptick. I did go over calories by the cost of a small yogurt last night but that wasn’t so bad. Daughter and DGS moved back in late last night after trouble at home. She brought Chinese which we split and fit into my calorie allowance (at the time). I’m thinking sodium. I’ll have to really watch it today which will be difficult with others here. I’ll have to readjust things.
10/11-.…..185.6(Trend Weight 188.1)….. My daughter brought in over $150.00 worth of Halloween Candy she had at home. OMGosh. I’m in trouble! Doing my best but my willpower is not the greatest. It’s like me being in a restaurant where I actually have to practice restraint, and we all know I haven’t mastered that skill yet. Oh Boy! She bought the candy for a costume Halloween party she was going to have which is now cancelled due to her current circumstances. I will try hard to do good today.
10/12-.…..185.6…..(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I was hoping to see a better result on the scale. Yesterday was an all-around good day. I talked to my daughter about that candy and she made a good plan to get it out of the house. I resisted it yesterday. Zero pieces. Travel today which will cause an uptick, but it least it won’t be candy I’ll be eating at the restaurant! . Clothes are looser again. I’m happy for the body recomposition.
10/13-.…..187.0…..(Trend Weight 187.8)….. Expected uptick from yesterday’s travel. Started the day horribly with my grandson age 3 who wouldn’t stop screaming, writhing on the floor and kicking. He was not in a good mood at all. I already feel drained. Today is not going to be a good day. That is clear. Poor little fella has been uprooted from his home and so I understand his frustration. But it doesn’t make it any easier, especially physically. It took two of us getting kicked in the face, just to get him standing to get his clothes on. I’m already reminding myself about every 3 minutes that I will not emotionally eat today or that I will not take the easy way out and eat something that doesn’t require a lot of planning due to exhaustion. That usually has more calories and carbs. Uptick on the scale is from travel yesterday. I’ve got to try to offset that today while figuring out how to deal with 4 different people and 4 different eating tastes and habits including my Autistic son and his white food. 7 workers expected throughout the day today, overlapping. Last one will leave about 9:30 pm. I’m not looking forward to this day. DGS sets the whole tone for all of us in the morning.
10/14-.…..xxxxx186.2…..(Trend Weight 187.6)…..Travel weight oozing back out. Happy to see it. Downward trend going well too. My daughter made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight from scratch which is pretty cruel. I will have one piece and allow for it, but I will have to have her padlock me in at night as I stay up late and my bedroom is not far from the refrigerator for 2nds. Control……Not just now, ……for Life……

@dawnbgethealthy
It's a company called Raw Generation. You can choose 3, 5 or 7 day cleanses. They send prepackaged juices and smoothies to you frozen. You drink 6 of them a day and can add fresh fruits and veggies or some unsalted nuts if you find they aren't filling enough. I can only do 3 days, one because of cost and two, I like solid food
I had done a lot more bad eating before this cleanse so I believe that is why I lost more this time and was very bloated. That issue is taken care of now5 -
