    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.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 195.4)….. Fasted until 3:00 for doctor appointment/bloodwork. Then subway and cake. Cake twice. Did I take advantage of the fact I won’t have glucose checked by doctor for another 3 months? Probably. Regrets today.

    02/13.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 195.6)….. I was so sick last night from all of this weeks bad choices. Pizza, Subway, Cake etc. All too rich. My body could not get enough water yesterday as it tried to flush everything out to save this diabetic from a hospital trip. My sugar read 438 an hour after my medication. I’m smarter than this. I just need to win this staring competition with my diabetes. I will not blink today!

    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.
    Saturday Feb 12 - 139.6
    Sunday Feb 13 - 139.0

    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.
    2/11 - 194.4 planning a lunch walk because probably eating out tonight
    2/12 - 194.4 didn't manage a walk yesterday, will finagle time for a walk today along with work. Dinner out with friends tonight. Still dealing with the covid headache, some days worse than others. Still fatigue early.
    2/14 - 196.4 had a bun with my hamburger last night so jumped up, will drink a lot of water today and hopefully it'll disappear quickly. I think I'm going to try a little treadmill run and see how it goes. Steak, mushrooms, and romaine for dinner tonight (my menfolk will have garlic bread and alfredo pasta instead of the salad)

Over 14,000 steps, over 6 miles and 3047 calories burned overall including my normal expenditure. Diet was light and on-point. No cheats. The scale is playing games with me but I know if I stay on point it will eventually have to be honest. I was proud of yesterday. The numbers were all in hard work cleaning out master bdrm to get new bedroom set and that was a back and forth chore. But I worked really hard! Going thru lots of clothes today too. No point in putting back in things I’m not wearing or no longer like. I know I had some dietary cheats this week that are probably reflecting on the scale today. So today I pay the piper and hope for a better tomorrow.

    Hello again, everyone!!

    My name is Ana. Some months after my late husband passed away in 2011 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 06.16.21  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.
    My plan for this month is: calorie deficit (zigzag mode) but putting nutrition first. I'll try my best to plan yummy foods, be mindful of portions when indulging. I will exercise at least 5x a week and will try my best not to snack and to walk to work. Good luck to me and to all of you! 💖

    Highest Weight 2011: 180 lbs
    2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
    February Start/End: 137.6 /
    Ultimate goal: Be fit and at a healthy weight.

    02/06: 137.6 ( 0 ) I am very disappointed and discouraged with this number. I haven't lost an ounce in 3 weeks! 😔 I haven't been the most strict. I haven't really been able to walk much. Still, I have-generally-consumed less calories than what my body is supposed to require so I don't get it 😟 My hope is that my body is either gaining muscle, or getting ready to drop some fat. I totally get what @dawnbgethealthy said: such a calorie restriction won't be sustainable for me in the long term. I'm worried, not going to lie...

    02/14: 136.7 (-0.9) Happy to see that the number finally reflects what I feel! Last week I snacked almost every day, but I tried to walk more often and for longer distances, I exercised 5x and it seems like my body is back on track with BM. I feel like half of this loss is what didn't show last week due to intestinal problems. It seems like my body has reached the point where losing half a pound a week is as much as it can do, but I don't care. I can be patient, as long as I'm shedding the fat that I don't need, I will persist!

    Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! 💖

    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.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 195.4)….. Fasted until 3:00 for doctor appointment/bloodwork. Then subway and cake. Cake twice. Did I take advantage of the fact I won’t have glucose checked by doctor for another 3 months? Probably. Regrets today.

    02/13.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 195.6)….. I was so sick last night from all of this weeks bad choices. Pizza, Subway, Cake etc. All too rich. My body could not get enough water yesterday as it tried to flush everything out to save this diabetic from a hospital trip. My sugar read 438 an hour after my medication. I’m smarter than this. I just need to win this staring competition with my diabetes. I will not blink today!

    02/14.…..197.6…..(Trend Weight 195.8)….. A great day yesterday which I am disappointed did not reflect on the scale. Over 14,000 steps, over 6 miles and 3047 calories burned overall including my normal expenditure. Diet was light and on-point. No cheats. The scale is playing games with me but I know if I stay on point it will eventually have to be honest. I was proud of yesterday. The numbers were all in hard work cleaning out master bdrm to get new bedroom set and that was a back and forth chore. But I worked really hard! Going thru lots of clothes today too. No point in putting back in things I’m not wearing or no longer like. I know I had some dietary cheats this week that are probably reflecting on the scale today. So today I pay the piper and hope for a better tomorrow.

    02/15……196.0…..(Trend Weight 195.8)….. Another good day yesterday and finally the scale is cooperating. Down 1.6 today. My choices and hard work are paying off. I’m still working on the bedroom project. Lots to go thru. Also, I’ve been using that room as storage during the renovations for lots of living room décor so there is a lot to get thru. New wall and archway is still being built and finished. It’s looking good although the mess is horrid! Drywall dust is the worst! It gets everywhere!
