12/06.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Little Debbie’s that I no longer even find special. Frosting like Crisco after dieting and staying away from processed baked goods (for the most part). I guess I am just trying to find comfort where there is none yet. I’m donating the junk today to my handymen. It came from my brother’s house.
12/07.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.5)….. I am a little surprised by this. I didn’t overeat yesterday and I was so active in going through and laundering my brother’s things literally all day and much of the night. I also started the decorating process. Maybe one of my 4 new meds. Maybe stress raising my sugar causing fat storage. Maybe just loaded down with continued grief. I’m going to log today to see if I am missing any parts of this picture. I’m fuzzy headed right now and that is always possible.
12/08.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.6)….. I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.
12/09.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.

Hi
I am Dawn
I started on MFP October 28.18 at 191 pounds.
I am 61 and 5'2"
UGW 115-ish
12/01 - 136.7 - Slightly lower than November's end weight although I showed a small gain in November. Holiday season is upon us this month. My plan is to reduce as much as possible before the feasting begins.
12/02 - 137.6 - My usual jumping around in weight. Trying to get used to it after 3 years on MFP seeing this.
12/03 - 137.0 - I have always gone up and down, I am feeling like this is my current set point. Of course I liked it better when it was 130.6-133.6. I am not doing anything differently than when I was at that point. The 120s are looking illusive right now, but I realize that I felt the same thing when I just couldn't seem to get out of the 180s (or 170s, 160s, 150s, etc.
12/04 - 138.1 - Restaurant food, a few cocktails and salty snacks. Expected a jump and got one.
12/05 - 137.1 - Maybe the 136s tomorrow, going to try although dinner will be very late because of work.
12/06 - 137.3 - A smaller fluctuation than I am used to lol.
12/07 - 136.9 - Hope to be lower tomorrow than my start weight for the month
12/08 - 136.0 - That is better. I was 135.8 last Christmas, so definitely am hoping to be at least a few pounds less than that going into this one. Honestly, in a year, I had hoped to be well into the 120s by now.

Nikki, 52 years old, 5'6"
WL history: ups and downs for years
Exercise: treadmill walk 5x/week (actual exercise not allowed yet, hope to be released from restrictions at the end of December)
Goal: truly give up gluten and avoid it (not allergic, just pick up many pounds of fluid for days)
Goal: put myself on the things-to-do list, and the take-care-of list
Goal: lose it and maintain it
Ultimate Goal weight: 145
6/7/2022 goal (next oncologist appointment): 177 (-20lbs from 12/7/21 appt)
December goal: 195
12/1 196.0 was a sticker shock this morning. A lot of inflammation still from surgery last month so my 12/31 goal is slightly possible but not very confident. I'm not shifting it though. Onward and downward!
12/2 195.4 first day back to work (remote) was too long and I'm starting the day exhausted. Not sure why I worked 12 hours but so much to do and I'm running out of year. Didn't walk yesterday so my plan is a lunch treadmill walk today.
12/3 - weighed but forgot to post
12/4 - weighed but forgot to post, I did walk on the treadmill for 40m
12/5 - 195.6 This week was rough and a definite reminder that even though I'm not in pain and back to work, that I'm far from healed. Simply exhausted by the end of the day. Today I'm meal prepping breakfast and lunch (egg cups and lasagna soup), dinners for the week will be hunk o'meat + veg. If I was smart I'd go walk now as it's 12:40p and I'm waiting on the soup to simmer, and then work for the afternoon.
12/6 - ?
12/7 - 197.6 oncologist appointment
12/8 - 197.4 yesterday's oncologist appointment went well but was told that I need to take control and drop some pounds. My goal is 177 by 6/7/22, my next appointment. That's 20 pounds, 24 weeks. I have got to get my motivation and big girl panties firmly in place. I'm still limited to walking after my surgery but I haven't been doing very much of that. So a daily walk and better food choices is my future; not sure when I'll be released for more activity but maybe January.
12/9 - 195.8 so hard to figure out my weight, I really need to find a trend app so I can ignore the ups and downs and just watch the trend. OK, looking now for one.
12/10 - 196.0 (196.2 trend) - couldn't find Happy Scale so downloaded Libra, but Libra counts in kgs and I can't switch it to pounds. So I know if I convert my 196 kilograms I'll be in completely shock and melt-down! LOL. Got my hair cut this morning, will have a lunch walk, and dinner out with my hubby (plan will be to order meat + veg).

Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept it off for years. Unfortunately, the pandemic has messed me up in many, profound ways that led to a Dr's visit on June 16th where I learned that I was back up to 156.4 lb. I am back to the MFP community to make myself accountable for my own health.
Highest Weight 2011: 180 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
November Start/End: 138.4/138.8 (+0.4)
Ultimate goal: Be fit and at a healthy weight.
December Goal: Up until last month my goal was to diet hard and exercise hard until I've reached and maintained 121 lb by the end of July of 2022. However, after deep reflection-and with some fear-, I've decided that for the rest of this year my goal will be SELF LOVE and COMPASSION. This month I will:
1. Exercise 3/5x a week to tone up
2. Keep track of calories to maintain
3. Weigh myself only at the end of Dec
12/05: 138.6 Yay!! 🎉 Only + 0.2 from 11/31
My relationship with food is changing for the better, I think. I'm learning that if I am watchful most of the time, it does not matter if I don't exercise hard daily and that indulging-even if often-doesn't mean I blew it!
12/11: This week I have watched my calorie intake but I have also been flexible with it and it weirdly leads me to feel more satisfied regardless of whether I'm having more or less than my allowance of calories 🤔
I walked to work 3x, exercised 5x, ate Donuts and carnitas... Long story short, the part of my brain in charge of being naughty, and my tummy are very pleased 😂
As I wrote the last paragraph, I felt my anxiety rising. I'm working on controlling the urge to restrict myself and the inner voice saying I should work out extra hard to make up for it.
So proud of us still working on our goals at a time of the year when many choose to give up. Love to everyone! 💖

WL history: ups and downs for years
Exercise: treadmill walk 5x/week (actual exercise not allowed yet, hope to be released from restrictions at the end of December)

Ultimate Goal weight: 145
6/7/2022 goal (next oncologist appointment): 177 (-20lbs from 12/7/21 appt)
December goal: 195
12/1 196.0 was a sticker shock this morning. A lot of inflammation still from surgery last month so my 12/31 goal is slightly possible but not very confident. I'm not shifting it though. Onward and downward!
12/2 195.4 first day back to work (remote) was too long and I'm starting the day exhausted. Not sure why I worked 12 hours but so much to do and I'm running out of year. Didn't walk yesterday so my plan is a lunch treadmill walk today.
12/3 - weighed but forgot to post
12/4 - weighed but forgot to post, I did walk on the treadmill for 40m
12/5 - 195.6 This week was rough and a definite reminder that even though I'm not in pain and back to work, that I'm far from healed. Simply exhausted by the end of the day. Today I'm meal prepping breakfast and lunch (egg cups and lasagna soup), dinners for the week will be hunk o'meat + veg. If I was smart I'd go walk now as it's 12:40p and I'm waiting on the soup to simmer, and then work for the afternoon.
Week 1 loss - 0.4 from 12/1
12/6 - ?
12/7 - 197.6 oncologist appointment
12/8 - 197.4 yesterday's oncologist appointment went well but was told that I need to take control and drop some pounds. My goal is 177 by 6/7/22, my next appointment. That's 20 pounds, 24 weeks. I have got to get my motivation and big girl panties firmly in place. I'm still limited to walking after my surgery but I haven't been doing very much of that. So a daily walk and better food choices is my future; not sure when I'll be released for more activity but maybe January.
12/9 - 195.8 so hard to figure out my weight, I really need to find a trend app so I can ignore the ups and downs and just watch the trend. OK, looking now for one.
12/10 - 196.0 (196.2 trend) - couldn't find Happy Scale so downloaded Libra Weight Tracker, but Libra counts in kgs and libres, and there isn't an option to switch it to pounds. So I know if I convert my 196 kilograms I'll be in completely shock and melt-down! LOL. Got my hair cut this morning, will have a lunch walk, and dinner out with my hubby (plan will be to order meat + veg).

Hi
I am Dawn
I started on MFP October 28.18 at 191 pounds.
I am 61 and 5'2"
UGW 115-ish
12/01 - 136.7 - Slightly lower than November's end weight although I showed a small gain in November. Holiday season is upon us this month. My plan is to reduce as much as possible before the feasting begins.
12/02 - 137.6 - My usual jumping around in weight. Trying to get used to it after 3 years on MFP seeing this.
12/03 - 137.0 - I have always gone up and down, I am feeling like this is my current set point. Of course I liked it better when it was 130.6-133.6. I am not doing anything differently than when I was at that point. The 120s are looking illusive right now, but I realize that I felt the same thing when I just couldn't seem to get out of the 180s (or 170s, 160s, 150s, etc.
12/04 - 138.1 - Restaurant food, a few cocktails and salty snacks. Expected a jump and got one.
12/05 - 137.1 - Maybe the 136s tomorrow, going to try although dinner will be very late because of work.
12/06 - 137.3 - A smaller fluctuation than I am used to lol.
12/07 - 136.9 - Hope to be lower tomorrow than my start weight for the month
12/08 - 136.0 - That is better. I was 135.8 last Christmas, so definitely am hoping to be at least a few pounds less than that going into this one. Honestly, in a year, I had hoped to be well into the 120s by now.
12/09 - 136.4 - No comment lol
12/10 - 136.6 - Decided to change my scale battery after this, and then it wouldn't start again. Guess that buying a new scale will be on my agenda for after work today.
12/11 - 135.8 - New scale this morning, WW scale in the garbage. Haha I like this one better, down almost a pound : - )

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Starting Weight (from Nov 30th): 189.2

**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
12/01…...188.7…..(Trend Weight 189.5)
12/02.…..188.2…..(Trend Weight 189.4)
12/03.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 189.5}….. I don’t understand the huge increase overnight. It actually should have been lower. Trusting the process….
12/04.…..188.8…..(Trend Weight 189.4)
12/05.…..189.4…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Pizza last night for all the visiting family. Not surprised by this. My brother was cremated yesterday morning. We await his ashes.
12/06.…..189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Little Debbie’s that I no longer even find special. Frosting like Crisco after dieting and staying away from processed baked goods (for the most part). I guess I am just trying to find comfort where there is none yet. I’m donating the junk today to my handymen. It came from my brother’s house.
12/07.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.5)….. I am a little surprised by this. I didn’t overeat yesterday and I was so active in going through and laundering my brother’s things literally all day and much of the night. I also started the decorating process. Maybe one of my 4 new meds. Maybe stress raising my sugar causing fat storage. Maybe just loaded down with continued grief. I’m going to log today to see if I am missing any parts of this picture. I’m fuzzy headed right now and that is always possible.
12/08.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.6)….. I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.
12/09.…..190.4…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get too busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
12/10.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. I went up to the store yesterday and bought some sugar-free Russell Stovers individually wrapped candy. When the sweet cravings hit me in bed, I had 3 pcs. Tonight I will move it to 2 pieces. Cutting out the night time sugar binge seems to have helped the scale. I’m still too much of a mess since the death to really focus as I should, but any change will help at this point. Today I will choose a better breakfast also.
12/11.…..190.6…..(Trend Weight 189.8)….. Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm.

12/3: 217.8 I think I’ve been doing well on vacation so far since I’ve had an incredible amount of wine, Christmas treats, and Hungarian traditional food which means a lot of meat. I’m enjoying every bit of it but I know I’ll have to work to get back to the 216s that I hit in Nov.

Hi I'm 41 (but don't tell anyone) and 5.6 feet tall.
Original start weight 66.8kg (on my scale). The worst was this year was 68.4kg. Weight loss has been slow but still ok with the results.
Goal December weight 61.1kg. If I could even lose 0.5kg this month though it would be ok and not put on the pounds.
December 12: 62.1kg
