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 February 28th): 198.2
Goal: 193.2 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
03/01…...196.6…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. Good luck to everyone this round.
03/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 196.6)….. Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all.
03/03.…..196.2…..(Trend Weight 196.6}….. The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. I stress ate a little last night due to trouble with the 4 year old DGS. I’ve raised 4 children and have never seen anything like this. It’s no wonder my daughter is in the depressed, anxious and fragile state that she is in. Things have got to get easier for us in this house!
03/05.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.
03/06.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.8)….. Very good quantities yesterday but the choices weren’t the greatest. Lots of housecleaning movement. I turned a lazy day into something productive. I will make better choices today because obviously that and no TMI affected me.
03/08.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 196.9)….. I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 197.0)….. I kicked the handyman out earlier than usual. After having a friend visit for the early evening, I made dinner for a different family friend, DD and DGS. It was delicious and I kept my portions within good limits. It was a very nice day overall. Extra steps cleaning up that kitchen!
03/10.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.1)….. No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.2)….. A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.

February results: +1.4 pounds
February end weight: 139.8
UGW: 130
3/01 - 138.2 (138.9 trend) got over 12,000 steps yesterday and stayed under calories
3/02 - 136.4 (138.6 trend) not sure I trust this number. Kept calories under. Did not exercise or walk. Will see what tomorrow holds.
3/03 - 137.0 (138.4 trend) calories under yesterday, over 12,000 steps.
3/04 - 136.6 (138.1 trend) calories under yesterday but very lazy.
3/05 - DNW - out of town with no scale. Trying to be good and not undue what I've done
3/06 - DNW - no scale
3/07 - 140.2 (138.9 trend) Wish I had a scale over the weekend to help me stay on track. Binge ate yesterday. Should be back on track today. Packed good food for the day and hoping to keep dinner under control
3/08 - 138.6 (138.8 trend) did well with eating yesterday. Got a workout in. Slept well. It's a good day
3/09 - 139.4 (138.9 trend) a bit of a binge last night. Hormones are not being nice to me right now.
3/10 - DNW - didn't have the nerve to step on the scale. Could tell by the bloat it wouldn't be good. Daughter from college has been here this week and cooking for me. I have shown no control and am feeling it. It was nice to be taken care of for a change. She went back last night and I am ready to get back on track. Hopefully tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad
3/11 - 139.2 (139.0 trend) too much snacking last night. Hoping to do better this weekend. Doubtful
3/12 - DNW
3/13 - 140.0 (139.3 trend) continuing to destroy any progress I've made over the past year. Knowing I'm doing it, and doing nothing to stop it

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 February 28th): 198.2
Goal: 193.2 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
03/01…...196.6…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. Good luck to everyone this round.
03/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 196.6)….. Late night snacks were over the top and just too much at once and at all.
03/03.…..196.2…..(Trend Weight 196.6}….. The well company made an adjustment and we’re hoping the bladder is okay. So I didn’t have to put out the extra $900 yesterday. Let’s hope this works! An average day yesterday with food and exercise/movement yet there is a drop. I just keep bouncing back & forth and my inconsistencies are showing up on the scale with inconsistent weights. Perhaps that will speak to me loud enough.
03/04.…..196.0…..(Trend Weight 196.5)….. I stress ate a little last night due to trouble with the 4 year old DGS. I’ve raised 4 children and have never seen anything like this. It’s no wonder my daughter is in the depressed, anxious and fragile state that she is in. Things have got to get easier for us in this house!
03/05.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. A whole new level of stupid. Yes, I am talking about me! Meals were very good. Snacks were over-the-top and likely related to boredom as I finally had a bit of time to myself.
03/06.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 196.7)….. My weight was sorta bouncing up & down on the scale from 197.0 to 197.4 but finally timed out on 197.0. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. Clearly I am still going up & down so regularly that even my scale is confused (and that never happens!) Very low calorie burn yesterday due to online shopping all day. I’ll have to make an extra effort today to somehow get moving! Have a good Sunday everyone.
03/07.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 196.8)….. Very good quantities yesterday but the choices weren’t the greatest. Lots of housecleaning movement. I turned a lazy day into something productive. I will make better choices today because obviously that and no TMI affected me.
03/08.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 196.9)….. I don’t think I’m eating enough or well enough at dinner. My snacks are reasonable (in most cases) but too many. Also, I’ve been staying up a bit later for time to myself (read, catch up on TV etc) so more time for snacks. I will have to plan better.
03/09.…..197.8…..(Trend Weight 197.0)….. I kicked the handyman out earlier than usual. After having a friend visit for the early evening, I made dinner for a different family friend, DD and DGS. It was delicious and I kept my portions within good limits. It was a very nice day overall. Extra steps cleaning up that kitchen!
03/10.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.1)….. No TMI and I know that would help the scale. A good day overall yesterday but very little calorie burn due to having company most of the day. Lots of time at the kitchen table.
03/11.…..198.0…..(Trend Weight 197.2)….. A much better well-planned day yesterday dietary-wise. Low level movement however. Sleep and bathroom duty both slightly better. No change on scale but it should be coming.
03/12.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 197.4)….. Ut oh. Looks like I’m going to get pretty hungry today because I will NOT go back to 200. Very odd though. Yesterday was another pretty good eating day honestly. I think this very low level movement is really hurting my efforts.
03/13.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 197.5)….. I had a super stressful day yesterday and today will not likely be much better. No sleep last night plus the loss of an hour due to daylight savings time. However, I had a good past few days and I knew it would catch up to the scale at some point. I appreciate the drop. It’s encouraging.

Hi. I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
I joined MFP in October of 2018 and have lost over 50 pounds.
My ideal healthy body weight is 110-118, so I have quite a long way to go yet.
I have gained 10 pounds over the past year, so I first have to undo that.
3/01 - 138.2 - Day 2 of a cleanse/reset
3/02 - 137.0 - Eliminating: dairy, wheat, grapes, fungus (mushrooms etc.), sugar, and anything fermented like vinegar. Mostly missing my morning cream in my coffee, but I am way less bloated after my coffee than previously.
3/03 - 137.2 - Getting slowly used to the copious amounts of brown rice.
3/04 - 136.8 - Ended up having to work an unexpected split shift yesterday, so dinner was late. Not sick of brown rice just yet, jazzing it up as best that I can. I realize that I haven't eaten any meat this week! I will add some to my rice concoction for tonight. Honestly, cream of mushroom soup would have been so good in it, but sugar, mushrooms, and dairy are not on plan.
3/05 - 135.8 - Day 6 of the 7? day cleanse, but on days off so no stress, and lots more time to eat nicely. Forgot to add meat to my brown rice yesterday, but there were so many other things in it. Maybe today.
3/06 - 135.6 - Day 7 of the cleanse. I put unsweetened almond milk in my cinnamon infused coffee this morning. Yeah, still missing my coffee cream.
3/07 - 136.0 - Not happy to see a rise. No change to my eating except for 10 calories worth of sugar free jello that I made 2 nights in a row. Out of herbs for the cleanse for 2 days, so maybe that? Tomorrow I will be going back to cream in my morning coffee, otherwise going to keep the eating plan for a few days longer, I have lots prepped.
3/08 - 136.8 - Officially having some cream in my coffee this morning. However, it is 6% instead of my usual 10% (half and half). It tastes good, better than black coffee for sure, but considering I gave it up for 8 days I should have went with the 10 or 18%. 6% it will be for a week, 500ml, and I put 2 tablespoons in each of my 2 cups of coffee. I won't be adding wheat back in just yet.
3/09 - 136.0 - Still basically eating the same as I was on the cleanse except for dairy. I had so much food prepped that was within the guidelines, and it is delicious. I am the opposite of most, I have been trying to add carbs albeit brown rice mainly. My fibre was dismally low and the numbers are better on my MFP tracker.
3/10 - 138.2 - Ouch!! Right back to the beginning of the month. First time having salt (and peanuts) in awhile, I will eliminate it today and hope for a better number tomorrow.
3/11 - 139.2 - Double ouch. I have re-introduced everything back but wheat since the cleanse, and it isn't boding well. I think that I am going to quit the brown rice and kind of go back to my normal work week food: grilled chicken breast and veggies. I did not resist the tablespoon of peanuts last night. I have to really think about how I was feeling when I had certain things eliminated.
3/12 - 139.2 - Didn't get a chance for the forums, but did weigh. Catching up on the posts..
3/13 - 136.4 - Well that was nice to see today. No rhyme or reason though.

MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
February results: +1.4 pounds
February end weight: 139.8
UGW: 130
3/01 - 138.2 (138.9 trend) got over 12,000 steps yesterday and stayed under calories
3/02 - 136.4 (138.6 trend) not sure I trust this number. Kept calories under. Did not exercise or walk. Will see what tomorrow holds.
3/03 - 137.0 (138.4 trend) calories under yesterday, over 12,000 steps.
3/04 - 136.6 (138.1 trend) calories under yesterday but very lazy.
3/05 - DNW - out of town with no scale. Trying to be good and not undue what I've done
3/06 - DNW - no scale
3/07 - 140.2 (138.9 trend) Wish I had a scale over the weekend to help me stay on track. Binge ate yesterday. Should be back on track today. Packed good food for the day and hoping to keep dinner under control
3/08 - 138.6 (138.8 trend) did well with eating yesterday. Got a workout in. Slept well. It's a good day
3/09 - 139.4 (138.9 trend) a bit of a binge last night. Hormones are not being nice to me right now.
3/10 - DNW - didn't have the nerve to step on the scale. Could tell by the bloat it wouldn't be good. Daughter from college has been here this week and cooking for me. I have shown no control and am feeling it. It was nice to be taken care of for a change. She went back last night and I am ready to get back on track. Hopefully tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad
3/11 - 139.2 (139.0 trend) too much snacking last night. Hoping to do better this weekend. Doubtful
3/12 - DNW
3/13 - 140.0 (139.3 trend) continuing to destroy any progress I've made over the past year. Knowing I'm doing it, and doing nothing to stop it
3/14 - 139.2 (139.3 trend) hoping this is a sign of the week to come. Normally higher on Monday than Friday, but today is different. Determined to make this a better week

@TinaLeigh67 - I'm pulling for you! I'm trying to use these past few days being "off" to help me re-focus.3

January Starting Weight: 194.7
February Starting Weight: 196.1
March Starting Weight: 189.8
End of March Goal: 183.8 (revised)
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 journey.
Goals: Stay under calories; Drink 96oz of water; Daily stretching; Daily low impact exercise and weights.
03/01: 188.5
03/02: 190.0 - expected from last night's Mardi Gras dinner.
03/03: 188.3
03/04: 188.8
03/05: 188.9 - been eating higher carbs
03/06: 188.1 - did not cave to cravings
03/07: 187.7
03/08: 188.3 - Oops! I forgot to log that bagel.
03/09: 188.3 - Been doing things right. The drop will come.
03/10: 186.7 - There it is! Hoping my body lets it stay there.
03/11: 186.5 - Yes! It is staying!
03/12: 188.3 - No, you're back! Lol! Late dinner/higher carb level/not drinking enough water
03/13: 187.5
03/14: 187.8 - What I have been doing these past few days is not working. My protein has mostly been red meat. While buying some junk snacks with my kids for their movie night, (NOT the norm for them I want to add- we were at a new store and they had a fun bulk candy section), they suggested I buy my favorite candy as a snack for myself, and I've been snacking too much on them. I can't believe I let an 11 year-old talk me into a bad decision. Lol! I also started drinking Vanilla Coke Zero. Time to focus on the basics of drinking water, switching up proteins, and stop snacking.5 -
@BittersweetVita
Thank you! I am pulling for you too. Like you, I let my kids get me sidetracked on the snacks this past week. Glad that Spring Break for my college kid is over and she has returned to school!3
