    My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
    MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
    January results: -4.6 pounds
    January end weight: 138.4
    UGW: 130

    2/01 - 138.4 (140.0 trend)
    2/02 - 140.0 (140.0 trend) - nausea has been terrible over the past few days. Yesterday I ate two sleeves of crackers, toast, soup, anything I could think of to calm my stomach. All it did was raise the scales. Woke up this morning churning again. Ready for this to be over!
    2/03 - 138.0 (139.7 trend) - nausea was at it's worst yesterday. Could not keep much down. Today seems much better
    2/04 - DNW
    2/05 - 136.0 (138.8 trend) - barely made it out of bed yesterday. So little food consumed. @deepwoodslady maybe your binge was subconsciously for me. I hope it doesn't show up for you.
    2/06 - 135.4 (138.3) - yesterday was much better. Nausea held off till late afternoon. I was able to eat a little more and move around more. Woke up slightly queasy but think it will stop once food gets in my stomach. Suppose to return to work tomorrow.
    2/07 - DNW - Slept later than planned. Son had a two hour delay. Did not get to work today. Was running a low grade fever all day yesterday and must be fever free for 24 hours. So far so good today. It's been under 100 since 2 this morning. Just need to keep it that way. This started January 26. Twelve days is plenty long. Nausea still creeps up, but a lot more manageable. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words
    2/08 - 136.4 (137.9) - back to work. Fever stayed down all day. Appetite was back up some and I made up for it.
    2/09 - 136.6 (137.7)
    2/10 - 137.4 (137.7) - Not what I had hoped would happen. Really need to get this under control and not gain everything back


    Goal: 136
    Running monthly total: -1.0 pounds

    Nikki, 52 years old, 5'6"
    WL history: ups and downs for years
    Exercise: treadmill walk 5x/week + run 3x/week
    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
    February goal: 190


    2/5 - 192.8
    2/8 - 194.2 hopefully this is the end of the scale rebound. Hoping to get back to the treadmill and running this week, but I need more energy for my workday so won't push the exercise.
    2/10 - 195.0 managed to walk on the treadmill yesterday and plan to do it again today. If the covid headache would just go away I'd be in good shape. Dinner is a beef roast that I threw in the crockpot and green beans.

    @nikkit321 I was thinking the same thing about the headache last night. This covid headache just won't seem to go away. I hope you get some relief soon.

    Hi
    I'm Dawn
    61, 5'2"

    I too have been gaining every month. I will try to turn that around.
    Thank you @nikkit321 for keeping us going. Hope that you are starting to feel better.

    Tuesday Feb 01 - 138.4
    Wednesday Feb 02 - 137.6
    Thursday Feb 03 - 137.8 - Burned a gazillion calories yesterday and had little time for food so calories were low. I did eat late though when I finally got home from work, so perhaps that raised the number a bit.
    Friday Feb 04 - 136.8 - Very late dinner again, so glad to see a drop
    Saturday Feb 05 - 138.8 - Dang. Salty foods and then copious amounts of zero and low cal liquid. Planning to get outside somewhere today even though it is mucky from a thaw. I didn't consume much food yesterday.
    Sunday Feb 06 - 138.8 - Could be worse. I got some Indian food on Friday, ate a bit of it. 2 appetizers and a main. Picked at them yesterday too. Keeping the calories within range, it works out to 4 dinners. Marinating some prawns in the sauce from the main, which was Malai Tikki, paneer (cheese) mixed with potato and coated in chick pea flour with spices. I work in an Indian place also, not this one, which has very cool Indian flavoured cocktails! Yum. Anyway, all restaurant food is loaded with sodium, so I may have that reflected in my weight. We'll see. Staying on track. Calories low, expenditure high is pretty much the formula.
    Monday Feb 07 - 140.8 - Left the 140s almost 2 years ago. Very sad to see this number
    Tuesday Feb 08 - 139.0 - Finished the rest of my Indian food last night. I had kept the calories of it very low by eating it over 4 days, but of course there is the sodium. Definitely I was horrified to see the 140s for the first time since 2020.
    Wednesday Feb 09 - 139.2 - Working a split today, so dinner will be late. Staying up way too late watching the Olympics.
    Thursday Feb 10 - 137.4 - Seems to be no rhyme or reason, but I'll take it.
    Friday Feb 11 - 139.0 - Tracking everything, but things will go out the window this weekend as I help my friend pack her house to move away. Not eating normal food.

    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.

    02/04.…..196.4…..(Trend Weight 195.5)….. Sodium from the Mexican I presume because otherwise the day was not bad. I did hit a record low on calories burned, miles walked and steps according to my fitbit. Fitness makes a big difference!

    02/05.…..196.4…..(Trend Weight 195.6)….. Full-on BINGE last night. Probably the worst I’ve ever experienced. I don’t even know what triggered it. Nothing showed up on the scale yet this morning, but I know it’s coming…..

    02/06.…..194.6…..(Trend Weight 195.5)….. This is the first time in awhile (I only checked records back to 3 weeks) that my trend weight has went down. Thrilled because that means that something is really happening! A nice drop on the scale this morning too. I’m surprised that the binge hasn’t shown up yet. Maybe I’ll luck out on this one. No matter! I’m running with it. It makes me feel encouraged today.

    02/07.…..195.4…..(Trend Weight 195.5)….. I had a very good day yesterday. Dietary was on point. More steps and activity than I’ve been able to get lately. The uptick is likely from a few days ago but I’m not worried since I’ve been doing well since then.

    02/08.…..193.4…..(Trend Weight 195.3)….. Three squares and some sugar-free candy for a snack. Upped the steps to 8700 but calorie burn was about the same as the days prior. This is a whoosh.

    02/09.…..193.4…..(Trend Weight 195.1)….. Holding steady and happy for that. I don’t expect loss everyday, so no gain is good and the path I’m on is the right one.

    02/10.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 195.2)….. A good day, but pizza for dinner shocked my scale this morning. It is ridiculous how fast the scale flies up! It was very salty tasting so I will push water today.

    02/11.…..194.8…..(Trend Weight 195.1)….. An okay day yesterday reflected better on the scale. Doctor appointments today for son & I for diabetes. Also for heart for me. They are going to send me to a heart and vascular center I guess. It doesn’t pay to flunk two EKG’s. They were supposed to do it late last fall but had trouble with insurance. Then I let it go due to all the holidays and then my brother’s death. Time to get things right with my heart now. I’ve gotten to the point where I am a little afraid to even exercise with all the sinking and fluttering I am feeling. Need answers.

    02/12: 193.1 - I'm proud of myself this week. I have been consistent in my calorie goals, sticking to water, coffee, and tea, and getting all my foot PT stretches in daily. I haven't been able to start my other goal of low impact workouts and weights yet. I tend to have an all or nothing attitude and when I cannot achieve everything at once, I feel like I have failed. Which then adds to me wanting to eat my feeling away. I'm working on changing my mindset to accept baby steps as an accomplishment.

    2/12 - 213.3 / 212.7


    The I don't give a dxxx attitude has got to stop. No more buying bakery cookies and eating a dozen. No more gobbling down chips at lunch and then snacking on them after dinner too. Eating out almost every day is also killing my good intentions. Mentally I'm a mess when it comes to wanting to lose the weight and it shows on the scale. I've gained back everything I lost in 2021.

    Made my menu for this week. Plan to grocery shop today and put healthier items in the pantry. Also need to get back to more exercise ... slacking off on the walking because I'm driving into town more often to meet up with my daughter and daughter-in-law for lunch multiple days. No excuse ... I could still walk on these days.
