Hi! Excited to participate in another challenge! I’ve kept off 7 pounds so far after starting these challenges in October. I’m planning to work out every work day for 45 minutes, restrict eating out for the weekend, log and drink 8 glasses of water daily.
Highest weight: 165
Month start weight: 155
February weight lost so far: 0
February 1 - 155 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)
February 2 - 156 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)
February 3 - 156 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)
Seems stretching my knees throughout the day is helping a lot, was able to really push my run today with no issue. Super excited I’m figuring this out.

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!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from January 31st): 197.0
Goal: 192.0 (Five lb Loss)
**************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME**************************
02/01…...197.0…..(Trend Weight 195.1)….. Pro: No change. There’s that! Con: Only 28 days to get something done!
02/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 195.3)….. Meals good. Snacks bad. No TMI and exercise ziltch but the renovation is moving along, although slowly.
02/03.…..195.8…..(Trend Weight 195.4}….. No better on the exercise due to the restrictions, but meals were much better planned. Quantities much better too. Pushing water today as tonight’s homemade Mexican food will likely be high in sodium.

@Arc2Arc - How are you finding maintenance? I'm not there yet but want to start thinking about it. I mean yesterday, 1 piece of pre-portioned cheesecake and I go up 2 lbs? So 1 day with about 70 grams of carbs......The rest of the day was on target and my usual.

@Arc2Arc - How are you finding maintenance? I'm not there yet but want to start thinking about it. I mean yesterday, 1 piece of pre-portioned cheesecake and I go up 2 lbs? So 1 day with about 70 grams of carbs......The rest of the day was on target and my usual.
That scale can drive you crazy can’t it? It took me some time and experience to accept scale fluctuations and focus more on tracking accuracy and determining my TDEE. I doubt that cheesecake was 7,000 calories :-). But our bodies react to certain things. For me salt creates large fluctuations.
My suggestion would be to go back in time and figure out what your actual TDEE is. This is partly where accuracy of logging is important. If it’s accurate you can see how your weight changed along with total calorie consumption over a certain period of time. Assuming 3500 cal per pound lost, or gained, you can work to your TDEE. Make sense?
In maintenance it’s even more important to know what your calories burned on a daily basis are so you can be as precise as possible about what you can eat. I don’t know what your weight loss is set at now but assuming 1 pound a week, that gives you another 500 cal when you enter maintenance. I’m a planner. So I started trying to figure out maintenance before I was in maintenance. Maybe that’s possible but it didn’t work for me. I’m learning a whole new set of skills and I had to be in maintenance to learn them. Since I’m not trying to lose I’m figuring out how to work in things I like, like in your case cheesecake. It’s merely budgeting. I also have to accept there’s a lot of trial and error. And so I have no great answers for you other than if you trust the process and believe in yourself it will get easier and easier the longer you’re in maintenance.3 -
I'm Jacquie - 59 years old from Canada. My goal is to lose the 15 lbs that have crept back on over the past two years. I'm looking forward to being accountable each day to help get back on track. I enjoy working out so didn't add any exercise goals but want to work on logging consistently and accurately and staying within my calorie goal each day.

@Arc2Arc
Thank you for your response. As far as calories go I'm doing 1000-1200 most days except when I have something like yesterday, a rare occurrence. Or a day I'm off but do my elliptical, I usually have a few hundred more calories but if the MFP app is anywhere fairly close to being correct with the exercise calories it calculates, I'm always under net Zero calories, on those 3 days/week. I also limit my net Carbs to 15 +/- 3 daily. For me I have noticed I seem to have a uptick when I eat more net carbs. My body doesn't seem to know how to burn them. Not sure if it's the sugar or flour type. Could be an allergic and I end up retaining water weight. I am not diabetic. My TDEE for maintenance is 1,947. I'm low, I know, but I'm sick of this weight and want to get it off! And very motivated. Averaging about 2 lbs/week and feel so much better and a lot more energy.
I did do another elliptical session tonight. So total of 330 minutes(5.5 hours) for 23.1 miles.1 -

My goals, which haven't changed from last month, include (from most difficult to the easiest)
🚦 Getting started
🥤 Drinking more water than diet soda
🥅 Staying within my calorie limits
📚☕ Making sure I get some “me time”
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ Exercising daily (at least 20 minutes total - not always an accurate time since I don't have a fitness watch. I use my phone, and I'm not allowed to have my phone with me during the day at work, so this category won't get a "thumbs up" unless I'm sure I've hit that 20 minute mark)
📔 Tracking every meal
⚖️ Weighing daily is a given for me, so this will be the easiest one for me. I'm hoping to make it into the 180s by the end of February, and stay out of the 190s.
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Final weight (January 31, 2022) = 193.2 (+1.6 from my January starting weight )
Starting weight for this challenge (February 1, 2022) = 194.2
🚦 Ready... set.... GO!
01/31/2022 - ⚖️ 193.2
02/01/2022 – ⚖️ 194.2 (+1.0 from yesterday/+0.0 from first day of current month/-22.7 from rejoining MFP) - 🚶♀️📚☕📔 - Eating stress and emotions again... Not good.
02/02/2022 – ⚖️ 195.4 (+1.2 / +1.2 / -22.5) - 🚶♀️📚☕📔 - still eating my stress/emotions/frustrations and even though all those words are pronounced differently, they are all spelled C-A-R-B-S, I'm not doing really well with this right now. - Besides "hiding" in my food, I'm hiding in my books. I'm a huge Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb fan and I just finished reading "The Becoming." Reading this was the best part of the last three days. Want. More. NOW! Sadly, I'll have to wait until November/December for the next book in the trilogy. Also waiting on the next "... In Death" book - well, actually waiting for the next one to become available from the library (I'm #33 in line for 12 copies of the ebook) and also for the one after that yet to be released (I'm #87 in line for the preordered ebook). I finish that one and I'll be caught up with the series (all 54 books) and I can start over again. while I wait for #55. LOL Meanwhile... I'm starting a new series, by a totally different author. We'll see how it goes. 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 - Planning to take part in a longish bike ride on Sunday. I hope. Plantar fasciitis kicking up again, so may not run for awhile.
02/03/2022 – ⚖️ 195.2 (-0.2 / +1.0 / -22.7) - 🚶♀️📚☕📔 - It was cold here this morning, for us desert rats. While I was bundled up like Nanook of the North, standing at the bus stop, my fingers freezing through my cheapie gloves, the weather app on my phone informed me that it was "26º but felt like 20º." Yeah, I'm a lifelong desert dweller, I don't know how y'all who live in colder climes do it. Read at lunch and on the bus. Then dinner and pub trivia with Meg. And, yet again, poor choices.
02/04/2022 ¬ ⚖️ 196.2 (+1.0 / +2.0 / -20.7)

@Arc2Arc
Thank you for your response. As far as calories go I'm doing 1000-1200 most days except when I have something like yesterday, a rare occurrence. Or a day I'm off but do my elliptical, I usually have a few hundred more calories but if the MFP app is anywhere fairly close to being correct with the exercise calories it calculates, I'm always under net Zero calories, on those 3 days/week. I also limit my net Carbs to 15 +/- 3 daily. For me I have noticed I seem to have a uptick when I eat more net carbs. My body doesn't seem to know how to burn them. Not sure if it's the sugar or flour type. Could be an allergic and I end up retaining water weight. I am not diabetic. My TDEE for maintenance is 1,947. I'm low, I know, but I'm sick of this weight and want to get it off! And very motivated. Averaging about 2 lbs/week and feel so much better and a lot more energy.
I did do another elliptical session tonight. So total of 330 minutes(5.5 hours) for 23.1 miles.
It’s interesting, after I posted my reply to you yesterday I started thinking more about it. If you look at my weight since I began maintenance four weeks ago it might seem like everything is rock solid and steady. But that steadiness is more akin to bookkeeping where you have offsetting errors than my having figured it out. Maybe that’s how it will always feel I don’t know. But I’d like to think there’s more of an achievable rhythm where it doesn’t feel so perplexing. Hopefully a few months from now I’ll feel control as I felt with weight loss where I found a gear and it became easy.
We are similar in that I wanted fast weight loss. We are a little different in that my TDEE appears to be 2,800 cal. And that’s without exercise. So on a daily basis I’m thinking how do I use all those calories? I’m also trying to come up with foods and meals that are healthy and support an active lifestyle. It’s a process! And I’m not there yet. :-)
Today as an example I’m thinking do I skip breakfast, have a lo-cal breakfast or a large one? It’s budgeting. Maybe months from now I’ll just do what I feel like and then evaluate. But I’m not there yet. :-)
You’re doing so well with weight loss I suspect you’ll go through a similar transition as me where you’ll search for a new rhythm. I have to believe it gets easier with time and knowledge.5 -
Highest weight: 293 (1/28/22)
Current weight: 178
February weight lost so far: -
February 1—178 (A new short month is upon us. Looking forward to firmly establishing myself in the 170's this month and continuing to make progress towards my fitness goals.)
February 2—178.4 (Had lots of fun exercising yesterday - shadow boxing, indoor cycling and upper body strength. It's cold so I'm finding fun ways to exercise indoors.)
February 3—179.2 (Got a new PR on my 45 minute Peloton ride yesterday. We had a delicious steak dinner and I had a relaxing night. Only one more day of bad cold until the dog and I will resume our outdoor walks.)
February 4—179.6 (The weekend is almost here... looking forward to the mental break. I am juggling cycling, strength and boxing programs and wanting to do it all so having more time for exercise is very exciting to me.)
