    Day 8: Sun, 2/6: 136.6
    Day 9: Mon, 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!

    Day 18: Wed, 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.
    Day 19: Thu, 2/17: 134.4 Expected bump. Yesterday’s drop was too much. Nice, but not realistic. Did good at lunch yesterday.

    Week 6 Loss: -2.4

    Day 43: Sun, 3/13: 134 Ate out last night, so this is sodium and weight of the food. Choices were good and I didn't overeat.
    Day 44: Mon, 3/14: 132.4
    Day 45: Tue, 3/15: 133.6 Don’t know where this uptick came from. I was 100% yesterday. It’s possible that yesterday’s weight was too low. I was physically sick Sunday night and may have been a bit dehydrated.

    I am Dawn.
    I have gained weight the last few 100s
    Time to turn that around

    61 years old, 5'2"
    Highest weight 207
    Ultimate goal weight 110-115
    This is my 9th round on this forum, I joined it at 158.6


    5th Week Goal Weight: 135
    5th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 5074 - My usual activity, but less calories in since it is really tough to get more calories when we are eating "clean".

    6th Week Goal Weight: 132
    6th Week Actual Weight: 139.2
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 3642 - Enough to lose a pound, but gained almost 4.

    7th Week Goal Weight: 135
    7th Week Actual Weight: 137.0
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4791 - more than enough to lose a pound

    8th Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    8th Week Actual Weight: 136.8 (started week at 138.8)
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4335, enough to lose a pound

    9th Week Goal Weight: 134.2 (ambitious)
    9th Week Actual Weight: 136.2 - Started the week at 137.2, so I'll take it even though I hit 135.2 this week.
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4448

    Day 64: Sun, 4/3: 137.0 - I had a tablespoon of peanuts with my snacks last night, trying to keep that to twice per week because I seem to have a gain each time. Going to work out lots today here and there, and hopefully get out for a trail walk if it doesn't rain and get too muddy.
    Day 65: Mon, 4/4: 136.4 - Not very healthy eating yesterday, calories were in range with lots of activity, but not very nutrient dense. Raining here this morning, a rare Monday off of the restaurant for me. I will go out and do a bunch of my Foster Grant jobs for the week today, and before that get my exercise in from Youtube instead of a trail walk.
    Day 66: Tues, 4/5: 137.6 - Argh. I really should be used to the jumping around of the scale by now. Very busy and long work day ahead.
    Day 67: Wed, 4/6: 137.2 - Very long work day and extremely late dinner because of it. Today will also be late too, but not nearly as late. I got lots of activity in and ate healthily.
    Day 68: Thurs, 4/7: 137.0 - Late eating again. During work I only pretty much eat fruit - blueberries, strawberries, clementines, and always a banana to prevent sleep-time leg cramps. A berry here and there a slice of banana here and there is all that I have time for. I do my main eating at night when I have time to have a meal. Weekends/days off are different. Food makes me tired, but fruit doesn't, it gives me energy.
    Day 69: Fri, 4/8: 137.6 - A gain without any reason makes me lose my motivation. I really don't get it, but must try not to let it derail me. Good healthy dinner at a reasonable time, lots of workouts throughout the day, increased water uptake.
    Day 70: Sat, 4/9:

    10th Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    10th Week Actual Weight: 137.0 start to the week.
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker:


    Start weight this 100: 138.4 - Highest start weight for the last 4 100s

    WEEK 8 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.8 GAIN



    Day 57…..03/27…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.0) Out-of-town travel about 90 minutes each way to the pizza parlor yesterday for my DGS’ 14th birthday. Of course there was pizza and cake but I skipped on the ice cream and stuck to water. My snacks last night were a bit out-of-control and I know that is the main reason for the uptick. That, too much sitting yesterday and then there is that milk last night that ALWAYS bloats me up. I’ll try hard today to make up for my transgressions yesterday.

    Day 58…..03/28…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.1) 3 meals instead of 2 but snacks were better.
    Day 59…..03/29…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.2) So close to where I just don’t want to be again. So far from where I need to be. More changes needed.


    Day 60…..03/30…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.2) I’m not doing well enough to make any big differences. I’ve got to watch the carbs way more than I am right now.

    Day 61…..03/31…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.4)

    Weight Loss in March:……………….. 1.4 lb Gain
    Total Accumulated Weight Loss….. 4.4 lb GAIN


    Day 62…..04/01…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.4)
    Day 63…..04/02…..198.6…..(Trend weight 199.6) A very small dinner, no snacks. Very tired last night. Got in more sleep than usual. A good TMI this morning. A lot of good contributing factors to a loss on the scale.


    WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.6 Loss


    Day 64…..04/03…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    Day 65…..04/04…..198.2…..(Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    Day 66…..04/05…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!

    Okay, so here goes. For the past two years I have been struggling when I exercise. Not being able to breathe when I exert myself, even in the smallest ways. Of course, I regularly reported this to my doctor. I really started noticing it at my old house when I would go hiking etc. The doctor didn't suggest anything or do anything about it. Even when I had gotten down to 174 I just couldn't breathe. Last October when I was getting pre-tested for surgery I flunked the EKG. They gave me another in case it was inaccurate, but I flunked it again.

    Now that I've moved to a very steep uphill neighborhood, and live in a house on a hill, it has been very difficult to walk. I live in a rural area. Everything is hilly and there are no bike paths, walking paths, not even sidewalks. The sides of the road are littered with Amish buggies.

    I also live in Northern Michigan where the weather is snowy and cold 6 months out of the year so dancing inside has always been my go-to in bad weather. However, that really knocks the breath out of me!

    I've shared my lack of privacy during all the renovations. What I haven't shared is that I am also scared. Very scared. Terrified to exert myself since it is so bad. I see a heart and vascular doctor about 2 1/2 hours from my home on June 1st. Answers will be coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to chime in with ideas, hugs, support, whatever you think would help. Clearly, the lack of exercise has taken a toll on my weight. True, I haven't been perfect. But we have to burn what we eat or there is a weight gain. It's simple math. If I do get a heavy burn, it is by accident, so to speak. Just doing my housework and such. No actual planned exercise or exertion. Help!

    @deepwoodslady Oh Donna, that sounds tough. I think we are very in tune with our bodies and the fact you feel fear and have failed some EKG's makes me very nervous to recommend any activity for you until you see your heart doc. It's frustrating you had doctors in the past that didn't give you clear direction.

    My best advice until you feel medically cleared to exercise (and hopefully that makes you feel safe to do so) is to weigh and measure your food and eat to a caloric deficit that allows you to lose while remaining sedentary. I know this isn't ideal but if you're worried about shortness of breath when you exercise I fear for you trying to push yourself too hard in that area.

    Other than that, just trying to keep your NEAT up in ways that maybe don't feel too exerting but keep you moving and such would be good - do your house chores in an inefficient way, park further from the door when you're out doing your errands, that kind of thing. It does help!

    @dawnbgethealthy

    you had a simple way of getting pics on here. I've tried everything! I can't remember how to do it. Help!



    @ashleycarole86 Great ideas, especially about the NEAT. That I can do without fear. If it wasn't for the reno projects expected all this year, I could perhaps drive to a flatter area to walk, but between babysitting for DGS age 4 and the renos, that is not possible. I will do my best but that lack of oxygen is coming from the left side of my heart (the worst side to have a problem with). I think it may be related to my cancer treatments (chemo) because they said it could cause left ventricle problems down the road but it was do it or die. I guess I'll get answers in about 2 months. Thanks for the help. I will work on NEAT for sure.

    @deepwoodslady

    That was good advice from @ashleycarole86 although I don't know what NEAT stands for.

    I am scared for you now too after hearing that.
    As for exercise that doesn't raise your heart weight, maybe some light weights, soup cans, water bottles. Muscle does burn fat, and building muscle is good for us.

    The photos:
    Take the photos with your phone.
    Open up the photos (Google photos) on your phone.
    Go to your computer and open Google photos. Click on the one that you want to post to open it.

    Then, just right click "copy", on MFP forums press "paste".

    I am Dawn.
    I have gained weight the last few 100s
    Time to turn that around

    61 years old, 5'2"
    Highest weight 207
    Ultimate goal weight 110-115
    This is my 9th round on this forum, I joined it at 158.6


    5th Week Goal Weight: 135
    5th Week Actual Weight: 135.8
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 5074 - My usual activity, but less calories in since it is really tough to get more calories when we are eating "clean".

    6th Week Goal Weight: 132
    6th Week Actual Weight: 139.2
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 3642 - Enough to lose a pound, but gained almost 4.

    7th Week Goal Weight: 135
    7th Week Actual Weight: 137.0
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4791 - more than enough to lose a pound

    8th Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    8th Week Actual Weight: 136.8 (started week at 138.8)
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4335, enough to lose a pound

    9th Week Goal Weight: 134.2 (ambitious)
    9th Week Actual Weight: 136.2 - Started the week at 137.2, so I'll take it even though I hit 135.2 this week.
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: 4448

    Day 64: Sun, 4/3: 137.0 - I had a tablespoon of peanuts with my snacks last night, trying to keep that to twice per week because I seem to have a gain each time. Going to work out lots today here and there, and hopefully get out for a trail walk if it doesn't rain and get too muddy.
    Day 65: Mon, 4/4: 136.4 - Not very healthy eating yesterday, calories were in range with lots of activity, but not very nutrient dense. Raining here this morning, a rare Monday off of the restaurant for me. I will go out and do a bunch of my Foster Grant jobs for the week today, and before that get my exercise in from Youtube instead of a trail walk.
    Day 66: Tues, 4/5: 137.6 - Argh. I really should be used to the jumping around of the scale by now. Very busy and long work day ahead.
    Day 67: Wed, 4/6: 137.2 - Very long work day and extremely late dinner because of it. Today will also be late too, but not nearly as late. I got lots of activity in and ate healthily.
    Day 68: Thurs, 4/7: 137.0 - Late eating again. During work I only pretty much eat fruit - blueberries, strawberries, clementines, and always a banana to prevent sleep-time leg cramps. A berry here and there a slice of banana here and there is all that I have time for. I do my main eating at night when I have time to have a meal. Weekends/days off are different. Food makes me tired, but fruit doesn't, it gives me energy.
    Day 69: Fri, 4/8: 137.6 - A gain without any reason makes me lose my motivation. I really don't get it, but must try not to let it derail me. Good healthy dinner at a reasonable time, lots of workouts throughout the day, increased water uptake.
    Day 70: Sat, 4/9: 135.4 - Huh? I'll take it : - ) I am moving my once per week indulgent meal from Fridays to Saturdays, chiefly because of our Saturday weigh in on this forum. Not sure what I am going to have yet, a homemade pita/naan pizza, wings, something like that. No Ribs for me again until 133 I think. I have been getting up at 5am on Sundays (international radio shows that I like to listen to with coffee), so am not sure if I will weigh at that time tomorrow. We'll see.

    10th Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    10th Week Actual Weight: 135.4. 137.0 was my start to the week.
    Excess calories in the Green on the MFP tracker: I will fill this in after today's numbers.

    Day 71: Sun, 4/10: 4.5 weeks left!!

    Day 64…..04/03…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    Day 65…..04/04…..198.2…..(Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    Day 66…..04/05…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!


    Day 67…..04/06…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.5) Hello Donuts from 2 days ago. I won’t be sorry to see you go. BTW, if I get time today I may post an extra post to share something I have been hesitant to talk about. However, I've since realized that anyone who chimes in may be a great help. Stay tuned.....

    Day 68…..04/07…..DNW…..(Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
    Day 69…..04/08…..204.0…..(Trend weight 200.2) OMG! Heavy food day during travel and no movement to speak of. Gotta get this back down or I’ll be spending April hiding under the blankets!


    Day 70…..04/09…..202.0…..(Trend weight 200.4) Probably a water weight loss after the travel meals. It was too big of a jump when I got home so I knew something was up. Now…..to get it back under 200 then get some real fat loss progress going!

    Day 64…..04/03…..199.8…..(Trend weight 199.6) Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    Day 65…..04/04…..198.2…..(Trend weight 199.5) Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    Day 66…..04/05…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.4) My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!


    Day 67…..04/06…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.5) Hello Donuts from 2 days ago. I won’t be sorry to see you go. BTW, if I get time today I may post an extra post to share something I have been hesitant to talk about. However, I've since realized that anyone who chimes in may be a great help. Stay tuned.....

    Day 68…..04/07…..DNW…..(Trend weight xxxxx) Travel.
    Day 69…..04/08…..204.0…..(Trend weight 200.2) OMG! Heavy food day during travel and no movement to speak of. Gotta get this back down or I’ll be spending April hiding under the blankets!


    Day 70…..04/09…..202.0…..(Trend weight 200.4) Probably a water weight loss after the travel meals. It was too big of a jump when I got home so I knew something was up. Now…..to get it back under 200 then get some real fat loss progress going!

    WEEK 10 LOSS OR GAIN:

    Day 71…..04/10…..199.8…..(Trend weight 200.3) Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.

    Day 72…..04/11…..201.8…..(Trend weight 200.5) Wow, first a big drop, then a big gain. I’m all over the place! I had a light breakfast, out to lunch with a friend for lasagna and garlic toast. I ate half and had the other half for dinner. It didn’t seem like too much food for one day but…..well……pasta!

    When you have seen me report my total calorie burn for the day in the past, this includes NEAT. It's the natural burn doing your everyday things. Not planned exercise. It is a good idea from Ashley that I try to increase my NEAT with extra gardening, housekeeping, even toe tapping. Things that will not cause me to become breathless and lightheaded until I know more. This could still cause a larger overall calorie burn for me for the day. Of course, real planned exercise with exertion would burn much more and much quicker (like fitness marshall), but until I get answers I could still do things to help increase the burn somewhat. I hope the article above explains it more a bit.

    Yes, the heart is a muscle and needs exercise to function (you don't use it you lose it theory). Finding things to keep the blood pumping will be challenging in your present state, but there are probably lots of ways.
    Like you said though, they likely only burn 1/10th of the calories of dancing.

    So how many calories in your light breakfast? How many calories in the lasagna and garlic toast. You mention that you thought that it was all reasonable, but considering you can't get activity in you probably need to keep your calories very low and nutritional element very high.

    We get slim from the kitchen and strong from the gym is what the top trainers are saying.
    You know me, I am all about the big calorie burn when I take the time for workouts. Perhaps if I ever get to my ideal weight I will do more Pilates and stuff like that. For right now I am still trying to shed fat.

    Interesting stuff on the NEAT - doesn't include breathing, sleeping or eating. Standing instead of sitting looks like the easiest first step. Building muscle is mentioned. It talks about sedentary lifestyle leading to coronary issues and death. Yikes. So our normal everyday activities under NEAT are to be enhanced by tweaking them to burn more calories when doing them.

    Let us know how you do with this and what changes that you are making towards NEAT.

    Sorry the pics turned out so big. Anyway, it's a U-shaped kitchen area with dining room on other side of counter. The cabinets will be white, the appliances will be stainless steel. Drop in stove on the counter looking toward dining area. Wall ovens on the left with fridge on the other side. Dishwasher on the back wall furthest in pic. New flooring. On the opposite side not shown in pic (dining area) there is painted paneling which is being replaced with drywall. All the ceilings were popcorn and they are being replaced. The area not shown will hold two tall pantry cabinets with swing out shelves. I also have a walk-in pantry which is going toward my bedroom. The footprint is not the greatest in the kitchen, especially once the appliances are in, but there is not room to expand or change it without losing the master bath and that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN LOL. The bathroom I speak of is now an open full bath with a hallway entry. When that bathroom reno is redone with the master bedroom, the bathroom will change is door location and be slightly enlarged so that it is en suite and no longer public accessible. I already have the other full bath on the same floor (the first reno. I'll send pics of that renovated bathroom when I get a minute.

    My house is 3200 sq feet but typical of 1970's it is a series of smaller to medium sized rooms. My bedroom is a nice 24 feet long but it is only 11 feet deep which poses challenges.

    Goodbye 1970's decor.

    This was my dining area before I temporarily painted the paneling, took out the gray blue carpet in the diningroom and the red (yes I said red) carpet in the kitchen area and put down a temporary vinyl sheet flooring which will serve as a smooth surface for my new floor to be laid on when the reno is complete.

    This dark paneling that you see is all over the main floor of the house. I have already had much of it removed. Some has been painted temporarily to avoid serious depression. If my walls did not have paneling, they had wallpaper. Ugly outdated smoked up yellowed wallpaper.

    My upstairs has no paneling but it does have an accent wall of outdated wallpaper in each room. The other walls are plastered and the ceilings are also popcorn. Below you will see a pic after I painted the same dining room walls' paneling temporarily a few months ago with some paint I had laying around. It is all ripped down now and part of the kitchen/dining/hall reno.

    Here is my renovated bathroom. I will get more pics later. What you can't see is a 48" deep shower fully tiled on the left. Also the soaker tube with custom tile insert and ceiling behind the curtain. Again, not real big but I think it was nicely done.

    Sorry this pic is foggy. This shows where the gray/blue sculptered carpet in the dining room (ugh) just stops at the start of the kitchen and changes to red (ugh). I actually have red kitchen accessories from my last house, but with red wallpaper on the wall, very dark cabinets and it just deciding to stop and turn gray/blue it was horrible. Changing it all!

    Here is a closeup of that red carpet. It is no longer there and was replaced with the temporary vinyl. The bathroom floor was also replaced with the same temp vinyl. This is the bathroom that is being expanded and turned into the master bath in the next reno.
