    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
    Monday Feb 14 - 139.8 - I will get back to my normal eating patterns later this week.
    Tuesday Feb 15 - Missed posting in forums, still tracked everything
    Wednesday Feb 16 - 139.2 - This day starts getting back to my normal routine.

    3047 is a huge calorie burn, how much do you burn in a day from sleeping and breathing etc.? (BMR?)
    What does the MFP tracker say that you burned?

    The extra burn for sure is showing up on your scale nevertheless : - )

    @dawnbgethealthy I'm not sure how (or if I remember how) to find that on the MFP source. My other sources are as follows: Weight scale says 1907. My fitbit tracks my actual burn and does include my BMR in the burn. Of course, On MFP I can imput things like housework and they will assign an amount but they don't actually know how fast, how hard, how demanding that may be. That is why fitness trackers are so popular. It's physiological. I've definitely been working up a sweat. A nice shock to the body since I've been so restricted. Still restricted in the living room area, but cleaning through the drawers and closet storage in the master is really putting me through it. Chasing DGS too!

    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)
    2/16 - 195.8 dinner is a pork rib, green beans, and romaine (aka meat salad). I tried a little run a few days ago which didn't go so awesome. I think today I'm going to walk a minute/run a minute and see how many run minutes I can hit.
    2/17 - 195.8. Managed 30m total on the treadmill yesterday walk/run alternating minutes. Felt pretty good. I'm going to do the same pattern tonight I think. Dinner is probably eggs, no leftovers in the fridge and I'm not in a mood to cook or figure out a dinner plan, even though it's only 10am.

    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!

    02/16……194.4…..(Trend Weight 195.7)….. This is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel (Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.

    02/17.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 195.7)….. Up & Down by about a pound and a half over and over. It’s getting annoying. Diet on point all day. A little less movement than the prior couple of days but still not too bad. I’m thinking it’s those jolly ranchers from the other day. But still…..that is a big jump on the scale!

    Glad that you are getting in some more activity. Living through a renovation sounds tough!
    I put the things from like my pedometre into the Exercise area of MFP, and at the end of each day it shows how many calories are burned. They already take out breathing and sleeping, so after tracking food you see excess calories in the Green or in the Red. You have known me a long time, I am always trying to get 500 in the Green at the end of each day. Sometimes I will workout a bit more so that I can eat more.
    I agree that some things seem a bit off, but an hour of gardening or housework or skating includes some heavier sweat here and there throughout the hour.

    My BMR is around 1100 now.
    Let's see if I can find the calculator....

    https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=61&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=2&cpound=138&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&x=74&y=17

    On the right are also calculators that you can click on for ideal weight, calories etc.

    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
    2/11 - 137.0 (137.6) - really want to see that 135 again before the end of the month!
    2/12 - DNW
    2/13 - DNW
    2/14 - DNW
    2/15 - DNW
    2/16 - DNW
    2/17 - DNW - really need to get back on the scales. It's been a crazy week with work and home and I've just been afraid to see the damage. Tomorrow there will be a number listed no matter how bad it is.
    2/18 - 138.4 (138.4 trend) - not as bad as I thought it would be.


    Goal: 136
    Running monthly total: 0.0 pounds

    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)
    2/16 - 195.8 dinner is a pork rib, green beans, and romaine (aka meat salad). I tried a little run a few days ago which didn't go so awesome. I think today I'm going to walk a minute/run a minute and see how many run minutes I can hit.
    2/17 - 195.8. Managed 30m total on the treadmill yesterday walk/run alternating minutes. Felt pretty good. I'm going to do the same pattern tonight I think. Dinner is probably eggs, no leftovers in the fridge and I'm not in a mood to cook or figure out a dinner plan, even though it's only 10am.
    2/18 - 196.2 ended up making a corn bread-hot dog-cheese "casserole" for dinner last night, didn't think it likely contained gluten until this morning. I did another treadmill walk/run last night which felt good. Going to stick with alternating minutes again this weekend, then next week go to 1 walk/2 run. Happy weekend!

    2/7: 138.4 Had a big hungry day yesterday. Got it out of my system and back on track today. My posting for the next 2 weeks or so is going to be spotty. I’m watching every minute of the Olympics (except for hockey) and I have a sprained wrist so its hard to type. I’m still weighing every day tho!
    Week 1 GAIN: +0.8

    2/8: 137.4
    2/9: 137
    2/10: 137
    2/11: 136.4
    2/12: 135.2 Finally!! I’ve been stuck at 136-137 for 2 weeks.
    2/13: 135.2

    Week 2 Loss: -2.6

    2/15: 134.8
    2/16: 133.8 I don’t trust this number since it’s such a big drop. It will probably be up tomorrow anyway since I ate out for lunch today.
    2/17: 134.4 Expected bump. Yesterday’s drop was too much. Nice, but not realistic. Did good at lunch yesterday.
    2/18: 134

    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
    Monday Feb 14 - 139.8 - I will get back to my normal eating patterns later this week.
    Tuesday Feb 15 - Missed posting in forums, still tracked everything
    Wednesday Feb 16 - 139.2 - This day starts getting back to my normal routine.
    Thursday Feb 17 - 138.4 - Okay, glad to be back to the start of the month weight, that will motivate me to be "good" today.
    Friday Feb 18 - 138.2 - Low calories the last couple of days. This is sort of my trend, .2 of a loss on heavy activity low calorie days. When I have a higher calorie day I gain 3 pounds, which takes 30 days to get off. Kind of cruel, but it is what it is.
