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

    @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!

    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.

    03/14.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 197.6)….. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. A drop on the scale is always welcomed and nice. But I am feeling like I’m wallowing around in the same mud hole lately. I’ve got to break this 198 thing and get going! I’ll be so happy this coming summer that I did! Come on Donna. You can do this!

    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 - Cheating on carbs and sugar. Need to stop before it becomes habit.
    0315: 189.3 - This was expected, as I was nauseous and all my stomach wanted and could handle were soft carbs. I also woke up with red blotches on my face. It just so happened to be yearly physical. My doc asked if the student doc could work me up, which I said sure. Most days, I am ok with this kind of thing, but for some reason yesterday, having to hash out ALL my medical issues again, and then trying to figure out the new mystery on my face, I left the office feeling discouraged. Waking up to this number is also hard to feel, being so close again to the 190's. But I do not feel sick on my stomach this morning which means it will be much easier to cut the carbs back down.

    @deepwoodslady - I am sorry that you feel stuck in one place. You are still here daily through all the stress you have been dealing with and that is something to be proud of!
