    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
    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.
    2/19 - DNW
    2/20 - DNW
    2/21 - 139.8 (138.9 trend) - not the best weekend. Really need to get my butt in gear and make the right changes. I WILL be below my start weight by the 28th
    2/22 - 138.6 (138.8 trend) -tomorrow could be bad. Ate out two nights in a row and did not expect this drop. I have a feeling it will show up tomorrow morning
    2/23 - 137.4 (138.7 trend) - very surprised by this. Really expected to see the burger and fries from the 21st show up this morning. Just need to stay focused
    2/24 - 137.6 (138.5 trend) - sweet tooth hit last night and I let it get the best of me. Hoping to do better today


    Goal: 136

    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.
    Saturday Feb 19 - 139.4 - I didn't overdo it, but I did have some more fun food last night while watching the Olympics. I still had almost 500 calories in the Green on MFP but expected a gain and there it is. Days off, I will get lots of workouts and activity in here and there.
    Sunday Feb 20 - 138.2 - Okay.
    Monday Feb 21 - 138.8 - On point with the MFP tracker, expecting to see some drops this week. I do eat a little bit differently on the weekends.
    Tuesday Feb 22 - N/A
    Wednesday Feb 23 - 138.2 - In a deep freeze for a few days, trying to get more indoor activity instead. Hoping for some snow and a bit warmer temps so that I can get outside and walk/play/x-country ski. My knees kind of gave out on me a couple of weeks ago, so ice skating at the arenas has been on hold for me : - (
    Thursday Feb 24 - 139.6 - Never good to see a jump up. I was 130.6 at this time last year. I plan on revamping everything in March, figure out what is not serving me anymore, and get my guts right.

    @dawnbgethealthy I had to use their new pump and not order my own in order for it to have a warranty. But the one they brought is actually one of the one's you sent me. The J15. Thanks for your help!

    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!

    02/18.…..194.2…..(Trend Weight 195.6)….. Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at it’s electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself know. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.

    02/19.…..194.4…..(Trend Weight 195.4)….. I just need water. To drink, to bathe, to do dishes, to do laundry, to wash my hands! No answers. Where are my husband and brother when you need them? Oh, that’s right. They are in heaven. Maybe God will help then. Prayers requested please.
    02/20.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 195.5)….. The up & down of the 1.5 pounds is really getting annoying! Great quantities yesterday. Steps & movement back up again. No snacks whatsoever. I think maybe it was the choices even though I am sure they were all within proper calorie levels. Gotta trust & move forward I guess.
    02/21.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 195.6)….. A better week for sure but the renovations are still limiting my ability to exercise or get in enough movement, as well as my privacy. My short term goal is to hit the 180’s again and then hang on for dear life. I am picturing the man from “Up” holding on to those balloons. I need to get moving, hang on for dear life but enjoy the ride! Oh, and I need to keep promises….even to myself.

    02/22.…..197.6…..(Trend Weight 195.8)….. The well company never showed up for the appointment and never answered multiple calls. Pretty typical in my rural area. Not too many skilled trades like to travel to the multiple small towns that need service. My handyman put in a call to another company who said they would try to come today but we are in the midst of a winter storm warning with freezing rain and snow mix. I don’t know if they will come in this weather. Cortisol and stress eating and drinking last night (chocolate milk). The scale knows all your secrets.

    02/23.…..196.4…..(Trend Weight 195.8)….. Very low calorie burn yesterday but the diet was better. The other well company showed up bright & early this morning. This will cost way more than I planned and they are trying to figure out if a new type of pump (vertical) jet pump will fit in the space as they feel that will be more efficient than the horizontal pump that I have right now. They will call me later. Hopefully all will go well and they can get me on their schedule soon. Jury duty, however, tomorrow and Friday unless the evening call to the court house tells me the trial is off. Life is a tangled ball of yarn right now but it sounds like the knots are closer to being out. Continue prayers please and thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

    02/24.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.0)….. Alarming! Looking back, yesterday was actually a pretty good day. Not perfect but pretty good all around. I’m truly not sure what happened. I’ll see what the scale tomorrow brings. And Water…..I have water. The new company responded quickly. It was expensive and there is no doubt I will need a new well at some point, but I’m going to make this nearly $3000.00 spent count for awhile. Happy camper here. Jury duty was cancelled for today. I call tonight to find out if I have to report tomorrow. I hope not. I have a lot of catching up to do on cleaning!

    02/25.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.2)….. Bad day yesterday all around. Jury duty this morning.

    02/26.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
    02/27.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
    02/28.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……

    @BittersweetVita

    Congrats on the new decade!

    I too suffered with that foot problem for years and years until I discovered Vionic shoes. I work on my feet, so they were a real life saver for me. They are not cheap, and they take a little getting used to, but after trying very expensive orthotics (4X the price of the shoes) and various other measures I fell upon them. They do have sales on their website, so maybe try ordering a sale pair first to see if they work for you. I have turned a few gals around here on to them and they have changed their lives. Worth a shot.
    I use the walkers on a day to day, but also have their loafers, runners, and very most importantly their slippers!
    My bone spurs and plantar fasciitis (sp?) are gone now.

    I feel you.

    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.
    Saturday Feb 19 - 139.4 - I didn't overdo it, but I did have some more fun food last night while watching the Olympics. I still had almost 500 calories in the Green on MFP but expected a gain and there it is. Days off, I will get lots of workouts and activity in here and there.
    Sunday Feb 20 - 138.2 - Okay.
    Monday Feb 21 - 138.8 - On point with the MFP tracker, expecting to see some drops this week. I do eat a little bit differently on the weekends.
    Tuesday Feb 22 - N/A
    Wednesday Feb 23 - 138.2 - In a deep freeze for a few days, trying to get more indoor activity instead. Hoping for some snow and a bit warmer temps so that I can get outside and walk/play/x-country ski. My knees kind of gave out on me a couple of weeks ago, so ice skating at the arenas has been on hold for me : - (
    Thursday Feb 24 - 139.6 - Never good to see a jump up. I was 130.6 at this time last year. I plan on revamping everything in March, figure out what is not serving me anymore, and get my guts right.
    Friday Feb 25 - 138.6 - For a week in March I will be eliminating: dairy, wheat, everything fermented. I will be adding copious amounts of rice, onions, garlic, and almonds. Sweep out the intestines and stuff.

    I’m joining late and need to stay motivated!

    2/21- 216.4
    2/22- 213.2 - no way is this accurate. I think my weigh in yesterday was off since I barely slept and then yesterday I had a salad for lunch and went to bed after work without dinner since I was so tired.
    2/23- 211.6 - first few days woosh is always nice
    2/24- DNW
    2/25- 213- had a girls night and getting back into the groove. Hoping most will fall off because I didn’t think I did that bad.
    2/26-
    2/27-
    2/28-

    Total Feb loss: 4.8

    Congrats on the new decade!

    I too suffered with that foot problem for years and years until I discovered Vionic shoes. I work on my feet, so they were a real life saver for me.

    I feel you.

    @BittersweetVita I also wear Vionic shoes and have been wearing them (Or Orthoheels made by them) for years. They are expensive it's true but they last a very long time and are LIFE CHANGING as @dawnbgethealthy has said. All my foot problems are gone and they were very severe. They do take a minute to get used to as there are "bumps" inside that make us stand properly. It doesn't take long to get used to them though. And those bumps will keep your arches good, you feet straight, your ankles and knees in alignment and will even help keep you back feeling good since you are in alignment. I have not tried the slippers that Dawn mentioned, but now I probably will!

Weekend now, I will have time for way more activity. Going to eat my last few things in the house that won't be on my cleanse (clementines and stuff) and get out to get some groceries that are highly recommended on the program.

    January Starting Weight: 194.7
    February Starting Weight: 196.1

    Stats: 44 y/o female, 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism dealing with menopause, plantar fasciitis and bone spurs - not to be used as excuses, but to be reminders of being kind to my body and accepting of its slow journey.

    Goals: Stay under calories; Drink 96oz of water; Daily stretching; Begin low impact exercise and weights.

    02/01: 196.1 - over cals and carbs.
    02/02: 194.9
    02/03: 194.2
    02/04: 194.4 - lots of sodium today.
    02/05: 195.2

    02/08: 193.6 - stayed in control of urges.
    02/09: 193.6
    02:10: 193.8
    02/11: 193.6
    02/12: 193.1 - proud of my progress this week.
    02/13: 194.3 - carb heavy dinner which pushed me over cals.
    02/14: 196.6 - way over for daughter's bday.
    02/15: 195.7
    02/16: 195.1

    02:/22: 190.9 - Returning home to the same weight! Yeah!
    02/23: 191.8 - I joined my daughter at her Kid Cycle class, so I figure this is water retention.
    02/24: 189.8 - Exercise feels good in the moment but I feel it in my heel later.
    02/25: 188.7
    02/26: DNW - rushing around.
    02/27: 190.9 - Yesterday was a busy running momma day and I did not have time to take my own food to an all-day swim meet. Options at those events are all carbs - good reasons for the swimmers - not so good for the low carb momma. Lol! Going to work hard today to get back under 190 before the end of the month.

    @dawnbgethealthy - Thank you so much for sharing your PF story and the Vionic shoes suggestion. My issue began last April, but I did not know what was wrong and it took four months to get in to the podiatrist. After another four months with my foot becoming worse after starting stretches, spending bookoo money on new shoes and high arch inserts, the pain was increasing. I went back to the doctor and she said that I was not doing enough stretches and that the high arch inserts were not high enough for my arch. She taped some felt to increase the arch. She said to give this another 3-4 months before I start to see improvement.

    @deepwoodslady - I am glad to hear that these Vionic's worked for you too!

    @deepwoodslady

    You said:
    I was not very patient or kind yesterday to anyone around me. I hope they will all forgive me. So much guilt today over my behavior. I am usually a very nice person and yesterday I was not fun to be around. I will do everything today to make it better for everyone."

    Well, sometimes we just need to put our foot down GF.
    You are indeed a nice person, but we all have our limits and sometimes need to set some boundaries and look after ourselves for a change.
    Maybe they all needed to hear whatever it was that you said to them.
    Stand your ground : - )
