I like to do that too. If I have a treat or a higher calorie meal plan I will work out extra to earn those calories.
Thank you for creating May's thread, but that means that the clock is ticking toward our monthly goal for April. Yikes! At this point I don't even think that I will hit my start weight. It was looking promising at times throughout the month, but time is running out lol.
@dawnbgethealthy
I know what you mean, I always feel like time is running out. Right now I feel like I'm running out of year, and it's still April! The good thing is that we only fail if we give up, and we're still fighting!2 -
Hello, everyone!
It's been two weeks since I've made a post.
The week before last I forgot to weigh in before drinking a massive glass of water and then forgot to do it on Sunday, etc... 😅
I did weigh in last Saturday, though. It was a gain even though I've been sticking to the plan for the most part so I decided to wait and see if Sunday it'd change, but it just went up 🙆♀️
So, last Saturday I was at 135 Lb (+1.4 from two weeks ago!), Sunday 135.2, Monday was 135.8 and today 135.2 lb.
I am totally confused because I truly feel leaner and I'm slowly going back to my regular exercise schedule... I feel like 133 y'all! 🤣
I am trying to figure out if the cause of this is:
A ) scale is crazy
B ) water retention (Mexican on Sat/Sun)
C ) weight fluctuations from TOM last week
D ) last week's high protein not-so-high fiber intake
E ) all of the above
Please note that in none of those scenarios I'm at fault... Interesting 🤔
Thanks for reading my rant. I appreciate everyone in this group. Let's keep on going together! 💖
PS. I'm tired of the MFP issues... I lost all of my data and I don't use PC so... I'm stuck on waiting for the fix. I the meantime I'm calculating calories manually hoping the nutrition is on point. Sounds like a great plan. Let's do it! 😬
I'm also tired of the MFP issues. Side note, I also had a crazy scale so got a different one...I hope it's also not crazy LOL
As women there are many factors that affect fluid retention, and they aren't always our fault. Sometimes I think all you can do is track your intake and see how different foods affect the fluid retention. Hang in there, keep making good choices, and the scale will eventually have no choice but to reflect your hard work. In the meantime, watch your other factors for encouragement: is your energy level higher; do you have more stamina; are you lifting heavier weights; are your clothes fitting better; ...2 -

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
I joined MFP October 28.18 at 191
I averaged a 1 pound loss per month, so very slow.
My ideal healthy weight by plugging in my numbers (height, age, measurements etc.) is 110-118
I was close to the 120s in February of 2021 at 130.6.
I was 131.1 in September of 2021. I somehow gained quite a bit since then, but in March of 2022 I did a cleanse to reset my body and eating habits and ended up with a small loss at the end of the month, the first loss in a long time.
3/31 - 135.2
4/01 - 137.4 - 2.2 pounds overnight?? I had a healthy and active day yesterday, so hoping that it is just a weird fluctuation. I am still going to use my EW from March as my start weight for this month though. No point (in my mind) of counting a loss if it is not cumulative.
4/02 - 136.2 - Terrible day eating wise, I was so busy, then stressed, so basically didn't eat all day and then ate a bit but nothing nutritious. I will try to do better today.
4/03 - 137.0 - Very early weigh in, I feel leaner than that. Up and down is normal for me though. I will get lots of activity in today, my day off, and will have time for healthy food prep.
4/04 - 136.4 - Not a very good day for nutrition. Calories and activity were good.
4/05 - 137.6 - ?? Such as it goes. Lots of workouts, good food choices.
4/06 - 137.2 - Lots of workouts, good food choices, but very long workday and didn't finish dinner until midnight. Tonight will be the same.
4/07 - 137.0 - It has been a busy work week for me with a couple of late nights. Food choices could be a bit better, but not bad overall.
4/08 - 137.6 - Quite shocked by the jump, I awoke feeling quite lean and expected quite a drop today. My only difference yesterday was increased water. Maybe tomorrow : - )
4/09 - 135.4 - Thank you all for the hugs yesterday. You would think that with 3+ years on MFP that I would be used to these fluctuations. I am okay to see a jump if I have had some indulgences, but when I am "good" consistently and keep seeing a rise I still get upset and demoralized by it. Today's weight was what I expected to see yesterday. Today I am going to have some indulgences, I will keep it under control and get lots of workouts in to mitigate it.
4/10 - 136.4 - Up a pound, but expected it and am okay with it. I had nachos for dinner, so salt. Calories were within range. Having an indulgent meal is nice once in awhile.
4/11 - 136.8 - On point yesterday, hopefully the last of the effects of nachos are showing up today and that tomorrow I will be lighter.
4/12 - 136.6 - I thought that it would be lower, but better than yesterday, so I will take it.
4/13 - 137.0 - I have been very "good", and creating good sized deficits from activity. Not happy to see this number this morning, nor expecting it. Trying to teach myself to take it in stride. Thinking that my body is a bit stuck around this weight, but going to keep working at it.
4/14 - 135.8 - Another fluctuation, but this one is way easier to take.
4/15 - 137.0 - Hmm, nothing different, but a jump nonetheless.
Going to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight with salad. If I get lots of activity in I will have regular pasta, if not I will have Kanjac noodles which are like 5 calories for a big bowl. I very rarely eat pasta, I am a grilled chicken breast and veggies kind of eater. I actually can't remember the last time that I had pasta, maybe 4 years ago. Felt like changing it up.
4/16 - 136.0 - I didn't even end up having spaghetti and meatballs last night. Maybe tonight.
4/17 - 136.8 - Going to do some HIIT with weights today and get out for a nice hike/walk on a trail somewhere.
4/18 - DNW - Ran out of time
4/19 - 137.2 - I have been "good" but with working splits the amount of time between dinner and morning weigh-ins has lessened.
4/20 - 136.0 - Still a ways to go to get back to my start weight, but that is the goal.
4/21 - 136.0 - Very unusual for me to weigh the same 2 days in a row.
4/22 - 136.4 - At this point I would be happy to get back to my start weight for the month, that could be a tall order considering how many days are left, but I will try.
4/23 - 136.8 - Woke up feeling very lean this morning even though my weight shows an uptick. It was 5am and I needed a big glass of water, so weighed first. Just one day off this weekend, today. Planning on HIIT with weights and a nice trail walk/hike later weather permitting.
4/24 - 138.0 - Quite a jump up, highest of the month so far. Not sure why, woke up feeling lean yet again this morning. I will take this one in stride. I was on point. Last split shift today and then I go back to normal day shifts, so hopefully eating at a reasonable time will really help to bring it back down in the week to come.
4/25 - 137.4 - Last night was my last late work night, so planning on dinners at a reasonable time from here on in and hope that this will reflect on the scale. Keeping to my 500 cal deficit each day, but the time of day (very late eating) must be factored in for me personally, I think that is what has made the difference.
4/26 - 135.4 - Huh? I'll take it : - ) I feel like almost all of us have dropped a bit of weight this last 2 days, lol, knowing that it is the end of the month. At this stage I would be happy to get back to my start weight for the month. I sure have been working on it.

Goals: Drink 96 oz. of water, daily stretching and PT exercise, start weight lifting, increase walking.
4/01: 187.0
4/02: 186.7 - Woo-Hoo! I nailed my calories yesterday. Off to a good start!
4/03: 185.0 - A long day at work with no time to drink any water.
4/04: 186.1 - Evening back out with increased fluids.
4/05: 184.7 - Surprised by this number. Thinking I am still dehydrated.
4/06: 185.2 - Evening back out again.
4/07: 187.0 - I have no idea. Perhaps the extra carbs and sugar.
4/08: 186.1 - Evening back out again.
4/09: 187.4 - I pulled an "almost all-nighter" and ate many a carbs to stay awake.
4/10: 185.8 - Evening out again, but I think I am still dehydrated.
4/11: 187.0 - Bwahahaha. All I can do is laugh at this yo-yo effect. I've been on point.
4/12: 186.5 - Lots of spring cleaning helping to burn some calories. Lol!
4/13: 185.6 - I need to focus on drinking more water for sure.
4/14: 188.2 - Stress-eating and not staying true to myself lead to this jump.
4/15: 187.8 - Woke up feeling sick from overeating. I need to remember this feeling.
4/16: 186.7 - I did well on calories and biked to/from work.
4/17: 186.5 - I biked to work again.

4/23: 187.2 - late night/early morning snacking while cleaning house.
4/24: 185.6 - Very busy at work and only ate 1 meal. Dehydrated.
4/25: 185.8 - Only had time for 1 meal again and am feeling dehydrated.
4/26: 188.3 - I had a migraine. Once that finally came under control, I was so hungry and thirsty from the long weekend, that went over calories and also over on carbs and sodium. Hoping I can even my body back out soon.
I am feeling the disappointment of the month too. I thought a pound a week was a realistic goal for the month. Now I am just hoping to end the month where I started. Only two and a half months away from my birthday and it does not look like I will be anywhere near the dream in my head. Time to wake up and dream a new one.7 -

4/05 -145.4 Stayed within calories, but definitely didn't get enough water yesterday. I don't generally eat my exercise calories back, my weight loss will basically stop if I do.
4/06 -145.2 Very surprised I had a drop. Took my grandson to swim lessons and then we stopped at Wendys for lunch before heading home.
4/07 -145.2 Did not get enough sleep last night, and I've got a busy day today.
4/08 -145.0 I've been eating on the run, I need to make better food choices.
4/09 -145.0 I need to refocus. I've been busy this week, eating out, and not tracking all my food. This coming week should be better, back to a normal schedule so I should be able to make better choices.

Hello!
Here's my stats:
Height: 5'6"
Age: 30
April starting weight: 186.2 lbs.
April goal weight: 184 lbs.
Ulitimate Goal Weight: 154 lbs.
This month, I plan to eat more at home and within my calorie goal, walk at least 1x week, and drink more water daily.
4/1/22: 186.2 lbs
4/2/22: 186.8 lbs / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal, drank lots of water, and exercised focused on legs.
4/3/22: 186.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and exercised focused on arms. Very bloated due to my monthly visitor.
4/4/22: 186.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank lots of water. Rest day with no exercise.
4/5/22: 186.0 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt unusually low energy and skipped my planned exercise.
4/6/22: 185.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank my planned quantity of water. No exercise again.
4/7/22: 185.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie and water goals. More activity but no formal exercise.
4/8/22: 185.4 lbs. / Yesterday, I went slightly over my calorie goal (<100 cal), exercised focused on lower body, and went on my weekly walk. Not enough water given my activity level.
4/9/22: 185.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but did not drink enough water or exercise.
4/10/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal even though I ate a lot of junk foods. I did not drink enough water or exercise. Hopefully, I can turn the upward trend around.
4/11/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and rested as planned.
4/12/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but struggled in other areas. My mood was low.
4/13/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal, drank water, and went on a long walk.
4/14/22: 187.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calories (>100 cal) I've been very frustrated with my upward trend, and yesterday I felt like giving up on my current calorie level. This morning, even though I'm over my starting weight, I'm recommiting to the current calorie level at least through the end of the month.
4/15/22: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt exhausted so I skipped exercise and went to sleep early.
4/16/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and went on a long walk window shopping as I ended work early.
4/17/22: 186.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal (<100 cal) and was very active. I did not drink enough water yesterday and woke up thirsty.
4/18/22: 184.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I rested all day per my plan. I ate my last meal much earlier than usual.
4/19/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I attempted a Sydney Cummings YouTube workout and it was very difficult for me to complete. It reminded me that health is more that one aspect, weight.
4/20/22: 186.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and exercised focusing on shoulders.
4/21/22: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank plenty of water.
4/22/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal (<100 cals). I started but did not complete my planned workout. I felt tired in the afternoon and did not drink enough water.
4/23/23: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I went out with co-workers and went over my calories based on my estimates. I completed the workout I did not complete the day before - so proud of myself and felt fantastic afterwards. I may end the month at or above my starting weight.
4/24/22: 186.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calories (>100 cals). I took my rest day and did not exercise. I did not drink enough water.
4/25/22: 187.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal, drank plenty of water, and exercised focused on arms.
4/26/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie and water goal. I did not exercise.

Thanks for your note, @nikkit321! It's easier and more encouraging to hear/read those words from others that from myself. The scale didn't budge today but I don't care. My pants fit the same as 1.6 lb ago (according to scale), so... I'm feeling good!
Also, even if late, thanks, @dawnbgethealthy for your kind words 2 weeks ago. I check the forum weekly and thus I tend to miss things so I'm sorry that I missed your advice. It would have helped last week, but it's still relevant this week, so, thank you!
I follow both of your journeys on your posts and I'm always rooting for you!
Sending my best! 💖2 -
My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
March results: -2.8 pounds
March end weight: 135.4
UGW: 130
4/01 - 136.6 (137.2 trend) had a little binge last night so starting the month up 1.2 pounds from yesterday. Way too much sodium. Hoping to flush it out today. Not pleased with myself
4/02 - DNW
4/03 - DNW
4/04 - DNW - Completely spaced this morning. Probably best anyway. The weekend was full of foods I don't normally eat. Dog gone Peeps and Starburst jellybeans are on the shelves and I let my son talk me into getting some. Hopefully the scales aren't too bad tomorrow morning
4/05 - DNW - too afraid. I have been eating mindlessly for days and I need to stop.
4/06 - 138.0 (137.6 trend) glad it's early in the month

4/18 - 139.8 (139.2 trend) - time to get back on track
4/19 - DNW - had a sugar binge last night and too afraid to step on scales. Dinner should not be 3 Reese's eggs and a piece of cheesecake.
4/20 - 138.0 (138.9 trend) better day yesterday
4/21 - 137.6 (138.7 trend)
4/22 - DNW
4/23 - DNW
4/24 - 138.4 (138.6 trend)
4/25 - 137.8 (138.5 trend) this month is not going as I had hoped
4/26 - 137.2 (138.3 trend) Slowly creeping down. Would love to end with at least my starting weight
4/27 - 136.2 ( 138.0 trend) Dropped below my start weight. Not sure much more will come off before the end of the week. Messed up early in the month. Will possibly see more weight come off over the next few months. Having dental work done. Had a palate expander put in yesterday and it will definitely affect my eating. It took me over an hour to eat a piece of fish and some veggies last night! Can't get my tongue to the roof of my mouth so I am having difficulty swallowing. Have a feeling some pounds will be lost till this apparatus is removed in 6 to 8 months.

@TinaLeigh67 That sounds painful! I hope the procedure works for you and perhaps a few pounds will be a side benefit! I lived on soft things (cottage cheese) whenever I had mouth work like braces done.3 -
Nikki
Height: 5'6" Age: 52
April goal: 195
UGW: 145
3/31 - 198.4 planning a treadmill walk and logging food choices
4/1 - 198.0 rest day, dinner out with my husband and not sure where we're going yet but plan is a hunk o'meat + veg.
4/2 - 197.8 no exercise
4/3 - 197.4 3.5 mile run/walk with my son, we managed to beat the rain. Lunch out (salmon, broccoli, salad); dinner was a big mac salad (lettuce, spinach, ketchup, mustard, ranch, hamburger patty & swiss)
4/4 - 199.9 ??????????? chili soup for dinner (hamburger, 3 rinsed cans of different beans, vegetable juice, 2 can of tomatoes+chiles, cauliflower rice, and add avocado when serving). It's raining and 45 today, so I'll be putting a few miles on the treadmill instead of outside.
4/5 - ??
4/6 - ? ran/walked 3 miles w/ son, then walked dogs another mile
4/7 - ? walked 2 miles w/ dogs
4/8 - 199.9 I'm sure I've been making entries but perhaps I don't manage to actually post? Sorry I've been MIA again. Cold, rainy/slushy mix here in Indiana today, makes my ankle hurt (probably arthritis). Taking a rest day, will make smart food choices. Today is my 31 year anniversary with my employer...yikes that makes me feel really old!
4/12 - 200.0 ran/walked 3.5 miles with my son, walked another 2 miles with the dogs.
4/13 - 201.0 ? water retention from the exercise yesterday?
4/14 - 199.4 planning to run/walk today and get the dogs out
4/17 - 200.4 ran/walked 3.5 with my son, walked another mile with the dogs. Then had Easter dinner complete with ham (sodium) and a corn casserole (some gluten). Sigh.
4/18 - 202.4 walking 45min on treadmill today
4/19 - 201.2 yesterday I did walk, today I will walk/run with my son.
4/20 - 201.6 (but I'm not trusting it as my scale apparently has a gremlin hanging out within...scale recommendations anyone??). Last night's run/walk turned into a walk halfway thru. I think I have a terrible case of shin splints. I thought shin splints were on the front of your lower leg, I have more pain on the sides than on the front. Going to stick with a slow walk the next few days and not run until next week. sigh. We were making good progress but apparently I forgot that 52+running-with-my-6'6"-son + not-running-on-anything-harder-than-a-treadmill-for-5'ish-years \= an easy time running. I have a hard time pacing him at practically a spring while he's barely trotting along. Geesh.
4/21 - 196.4 so not-so-sure I believe the number since my scale is inhabited by I-don't-know-what. But, I have been thinking that a whoosh was coming so maybe I will believe it. I walked on the treadmill yesterday for 45min, will walk again today. Still trying to work out the shin splints from Tuesday.
4/22 - 198.8 I bought an el cheapo digital scale at Walmart last night and it bumped me up 2 lbs, I'll take it. I had replaced the battery in my old scale a few times and I think it was just old and dying. Thanks for the shin splints ideas, I'll try them! Going to Indianapolis tonight, volunteering at a breast cancer 'event' tomorrow and didn't feel like getting on the highway at 4am to be there by 7a. Going with my bestie who was diagnosed w/ stage 4 breast cancer at 37 years old, I had my own run of it in 2016. We're a matched set LOL - she's left, I'm right.
4/23 - out of town, DNW
4/24 - 201.4 Breast cancer event Saturday went well; I volunteered and decided last-minute to make my own 'donation'. Essentially it was a biopsy from the breast that didn't have cancer. Get your mammograms, ladies! Start younger than recommended if you have a family history of any type of 'female' cancer as they are all related.
4/25 - 199.4 Today begins a new determination to make thoughtful food decisions and exercise decisions; I'm going to "earn" a treat with movement prior to indulging.
4/26 - 198.8 Being deliberate with water today. Dinner is meatloaf (hamburger & ground turkey) and broccoli. Posted my food plan for the day already. Planning a run/walk with my son tonight, the first time since my shin splint attack last week. Will go slow and cautious today.
4/27 - 198.6 dribbles and bits, but I'll take it! Did great with water intake yesterday, constantly ran to the restroom LOL. Just walked yesterday, I think I'm going to give it a few more days before trying to run. I want to make sure I'm fully healed first. Lunch is a "bowl" - brown rice, spinach, and chicken tender. Dinner tonight is meatloaf leftovers with a salad or something.

Thank you! Cottage cheese for lunch today, yogurt for breakfast. Going to need to figure out more options, LOL. Protein shakes may become a staple as well. NEVER expected not being able to swallow properly.
Not only do I have the expander, but a full set of braces were put on. Understanding now why my children all had issues.6 -

The summer of 2019, I went thru chemo, so it is nice to my cbc in the normal range as well. I was sharing with some friends the other day how in the midst of my chemo, my weight was at that 'magical' number that I have been chasing all my life and laughed that it only took cancer to help me reach it. This time around, I believe I shall focus on moving more. I do try to get out and walk but I recognise that I need to do more. What though? I have to figure out what I like because doing something that I don't enjoy will not have staying power. What are some things that you enjoy? Do you do it alone, with a buddy, in a group or all of the above?
Also, is anyone interested in being MFP or Fitbit buddies? 5 -

April goal. 143
4/01 -147.2
4/02 -146.6 Stayed within calories.
4/03 -146.0
4/04 -145.8
4/05 -145.4 Stayed within calories, but definitely didn't get enough water yesterday. I don't generally eat my exercise calories back, my weight loss will basically stop if I do.
4/06 -145.2 Very surprised I had a drop. Took my grandson to swim lessons and then we stopped at Wendys for lunch before heading home.
4/07 -145.2 Did not get enough sleep last night, and I've got a busy day today.
4/08 -145.0 I've been eating on the run, I need to make better food choices.
4/09 -145.0 I need to refocus. I've been busy this week, eating out, and not tracking all my food. This coming week should be better, back to a normal schedule so I should be able to make better choices.
4/10 -144.8
4/11 -144.8
4/12 -144.4 Stayed within 1200 calories. I also find it very helpful to to get plenty of fat and protein, and to limit my carb intake to just fruits and vegetables.
4/13 -143.6 Might be dehydrated.
4/14 -143.0
4/15 -143.0
4/16 -142.6
4/17 -142.0 Having the family over for dinner tonight. Happy Easter
4/18 -142.6 I did pretty well calorie-wise yesterday, but I know the Easter ham has lots of sodium. Hope everyone had a nice holiday
4/19 -142.6
4/20 -DNW
4/21 -142.4 Easter dinner derailed me this week.
4/22 -141.8 Good day yesterday.
4/23 -141.8 Ate over calories yesterday, so really surprised my weight wasn't up.

@Msmclane
Walking is really good, stretches out our bodies, circulates our blood.
As for workouts, I do Fitness Marshall every day and a few other things. Fitness Marshall are 3 minute songs, so some days I do 1 or 2, other days I do 10 or more of them. I fit them in here and there, including on my phone at work if it is slow lol.
@deepwoodslady likes them too, but can't do them right now.
They are challenging learning the movements, but I find that after about five times having tried the same song that I get the choreo and then...just dance : - ) It definitely is a rest for my mind too, because it takes some concentration to follow them.
Here are a few that I am very fond of:

Quick fix for oxygen to the brain. 5 hours later I feel limber and very glad that I got some in.3 -
I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
I joined MFP October 28.18 at 191
I averaged a 1 pound loss per month, so very slow.
My ideal healthy weight by plugging in my numbers (height, age, measurements etc.) is 110-118
I was close to the 120s in February of 2021 at 130.6.
I was 131.1 in September of 2021. I somehow gained quite a bit since then, but in March of 2022 I did a cleanse to reset my body and eating habits and ended up with a small loss at the end of the month, the first loss in a long time.
3/31 - 135.2
4/01 - 137.4 - 2.2 pounds overnight?? I had a healthy and active day yesterday, so hoping that it is just a weird fluctuation. I am still going to use my EW from March as my start weight for this month though. No point (in my mind) of counting a loss if it is not cumulative.
4/02 - 136.2 - Terrible day eating wise, I was so busy, then stressed, so basically didn't eat all day and then ate a bit but nothing nutritious. I will try to do better today.
4/03 - 137.0 - Very early weigh in, I feel leaner than that. Up and down is normal for me though. I will get lots of activity in today, my day off, and will have time for healthy food prep.
4/04 - 136.4 - Not a very good day for nutrition. Calories and activity were good.
4/05 - 137.6 - ?? Such as it goes. Lots of workouts, good food choices.
4/06 - 137.2 - Lots of workouts, good food choices, but very long workday and didn't finish dinner until midnight. Tonight will be the same.
4/07 - 137.0 - It has been a busy work week for me with a couple of late nights. Food choices could be a bit better, but not bad overall.
4/08 - 137.6 - Quite shocked by the jump, I awoke feeling quite lean and expected quite a drop today. My only difference yesterday was increased water. Maybe tomorrow : - )
4/09 - 135.4 - Thank you all for the hugs yesterday. You would think that with 3+ years on MFP that I would be used to these fluctuations. I am okay to see a jump if I have had some indulgences, but when I am "good" consistently and keep seeing a rise I still get upset and demoralized by it. Today's weight was what I expected to see yesterday. Today I am going to have some indulgences, I will keep it under control and get lots of workouts in to mitigate it.
4/10 - 136.4 - Up a pound, but expected it and am okay with it. I had nachos for dinner, so salt. Calories were within range. Having an indulgent meal is nice once in awhile.
4/11 - 136.8 - On point yesterday, hopefully the last of the effects of nachos are showing up today and that tomorrow I will be lighter.
4/12 - 136.6 - I thought that it would be lower, but better than yesterday, so I will take it.
4/13 - 137.0 - I have been very "good", and creating good sized deficits from activity. Not happy to see this number this morning, nor expecting it. Trying to teach myself to take it in stride. Thinking that my body is a bit stuck around this weight, but going to keep working at it.
4/14 - 135.8 - Another fluctuation, but this one is way easier to take.
4/15 - 137.0 - Hmm, nothing different, but a jump nonetheless.
Going to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight with salad. If I get lots of activity in I will have regular pasta, if not I will have Kanjac noodles which are like 5 calories for a big bowl. I very rarely eat pasta, I am a grilled chicken breast and veggies kind of eater. I actually can't remember the last time that I had pasta, maybe 4 years ago. Felt like changing it up.
4/16 - 136.0 - I didn't even end up having spaghetti and meatballs last night. Maybe tonight.
4/17 - 136.8 - Going to do some HIIT with weights today and get out for a nice hike/walk on a trail somewhere.
4/18 - DNW - Ran out of time
4/19 - 137.2 - I have been "good" but with working splits the amount of time between dinner and morning weigh-ins has lessened.
4/20 - 136.0 - Still a ways to go to get back to my start weight, but that is the goal.
4/21 - 136.0 - Very unusual for me to weigh the same 2 days in a row.
4/22 - 136.4 - At this point I would be happy to get back to my start weight for the month, that could be a tall order considering how many days are left, but I will try.
4/23 - 136.8 - Woke up feeling very lean this morning even though my weight shows an uptick. It was 5am and I needed a big glass of water, so weighed first. Just one day off this weekend, today. Planning on HIIT with weights and a nice trail walk/hike later weather permitting.
4/24 - 138.0 - Quite a jump up, highest of the month so far. Not sure why, woke up feeling lean yet again this morning. I will take this one in stride. I was on point. Last split shift today and then I go back to normal day shifts, so hopefully eating at a reasonable time will really help to bring it back down in the week to come.
4/25 - 137.4 - Last night was my last late work night, so planning on dinners at a reasonable time from here on in and hope that this will reflect on the scale. Keeping to my 500 cal deficit each day, but the time of day (very late eating) must be factored in for me personally, I think that is what has made the difference.
4/26 - 135.4 - Huh? I'll take it : - ) I feel like almost all of us have dropped a bit of weight this last 2 days, lol, knowing that it is the end of the month. At this stage I would be happy to get back to my start weight for the month. I sure have been working on it.
4/27 - DNW, up at 3am drinking water and then coffee. I thought that I might be able to go back to sleep, but felt happy to be up. Didn't want to punish myself by stepping on the scale with a bunch of liquid in me : - )
4/28 - 135.2 - Glad to be back to the start weight for this month with only two days left lol. Going to do my best to hold it here or maybe even lose an ounce.

4/01 - 136.6 (137.2 trend) had a little binge last night so starting the month up 1.2 pounds from yesterday. Way too much sodium. Hoping to flush it out today. Not pleased with myself
4/02 - DNW
4/03 - DNW
4/04 - DNW - Completely spaced this morning. Probably best anyway. The weekend was full of foods I don't normally eat. Dog gone Peeps and Starburst jellybeans are on the shelves and I let my son talk me into getting some. Hopefully the scales aren't too bad tomorrow morning
4/05 - DNW - too afraid. I have been eating mindlessly for days and I need to stop.

4/19 - DNW - had a sugar binge last night and too afraid to step on scales. Dinner should not be 3 Reese's eggs and a piece of cheesecake.
4/20 - 138.0 (138.9 trend) better day yesterday
4/21 - 137.6 (138.7 trend)
4/22 - DNW
4/23 - DNW
4/24 - 138.4 (138.6 trend)
4/25 - 137.8 (138.5 trend) this month is not going as I had hoped
4/26 - 137.2 (138.3 trend) Slowly creeping down. Would love to end with at least my starting weight
4/27 - 136.2 ( 138.0 trend) Dropped below my start weight. Not sure much more will come off before the end of the week. Messed up early in the month. Will possibly see more weight come off over the next few months. Having dental work done. Had a palate expander put in yesterday and it will definitely affect my eating. It took me over an hour to eat a piece of fish and some veggies last night! Can't get my tongue to the roof of my mouth so I am having difficulty swallowing. Have a feeling some pounds will be lost till this apparatus is removed in 6 to 8 months.
4/28 - 136.2 (137.8 trend) Like seeing the trend number going down. Had spaghetti for dinner last night. Used a spiral noodle instead of spaghetti. The pasta kept getting caught above the expander bar. I couldn't get my tongue above the bar to get it out. Needless to say, I looked like a dog that gets peanut butter stuck to the roof of their mouth and go crazy with the tongue trying to get it off. Frustrating for me but very entertaining for those that were at dinner with me
It's going to be an interesting journey, LOL

3/31 - 198.4 planning a treadmill walk and logging food choices
4/1 - 198.0 rest day, dinner out with my husband and not sure where we're going yet but plan is a hunk o'meat + veg.
4/2 - 197.8 no exercise
4/3 - 197.4 3.5 mile run/walk with my son, we managed to beat the rain. Lunch out (salmon, broccoli, salad); dinner was a big mac salad (lettuce, spinach, ketchup, mustard, ranch, hamburger patty & swiss)
4/4 - 199.9 ??????????? chili soup for dinner (hamburger, 3 rinsed cans of different beans, vegetable juice, 2 can of tomatoes+chiles, cauliflower rice, and add avocado when serving). It's raining and 45 today, so I'll be putting a few miles on the treadmill instead of outside.
4/5 - ??
4/6 - ? ran/walked 3 miles w/ son, then walked dogs another mile
4/7 - ? walked 2 miles w/ dogs
4/8 - 199.9 I'm sure I've been making entries but perhaps I don't manage to actually post? Sorry I've been MIA again. Cold, rainy/slushy mix here in Indiana today, makes my ankle hurt (probably arthritis). Taking a rest day, will make smart food choices. Today is my 31 year anniversary with my employer...yikes that makes me feel really old!
4/12 - 200.0 ran/walked 3.5 miles with my son, walked another 2 miles with the dogs.
4/13 - 201.0 ? water retention from the exercise yesterday?
4/14 - 199.4 planning to run/walk today and get the dogs out
4/17 - 200.4 ran/walked 3.5 with my son, walked another mile with the dogs. Then had Easter dinner complete with ham (sodium) and a corn casserole (some gluten). Sigh.
4/18 - 202.4 walking 45min on treadmill today
4/19 - 201.2 yesterday I did walk, today I will walk/run with my son.
4/20 - 201.6 (but I'm not trusting it as my scale apparently has a gremlin hanging out within...scale recommendations anyone??). Last night's run/walk turned into a walk halfway thru. I think I have a terrible case of shin splints. I thought shin splints were on the front of your lower leg, I have more pain on the sides than on the front. Going to stick with a slow walk the next few days and not run until next week. sigh. We were making good progress but apparently I forgot that 52+running-with-my-6'6"-son + not-running-on-anything-harder-than-a-treadmill-for-5'ish-years \= an easy time running. I have a hard time pacing him at practically a spring while he's barely trotting along. Geesh.
4/21 - 196.4 so not-so-sure I believe the number since my scale is inhabited by I-don't-know-what. But, I have been thinking that a whoosh was coming so maybe I will believe it. I walked on the treadmill yesterday for 45min, will walk again today. Still trying to work out the shin splints from Tuesday.
4/22 - 198.8 I bought an el cheapo digital scale at Walmart last night and it bumped me up 2 lbs, I'll take it. I had replaced the battery in my old scale a few times and I think it was just old and dying. Thanks for the shin splints ideas, I'll try them! Going to Indianapolis tonight, volunteering at a breast cancer 'event' tomorrow and didn't feel like getting on the highway at 4am to be there by 7a. Going with my bestie who was diagnosed w/ stage 4 breast cancer at 37 years old, I had my own run of it in 2016. We're a matched set LOL - she's left, I'm right.
4/23 - out of town, DNW
4/24 - 201.4 Breast cancer event Saturday went well; I volunteered and decided last-minute to make my own 'donation'. Essentially it was a biopsy from the breast that didn't have cancer. Get your mammograms, ladies! Start younger than recommended if you have a family history of any type of 'female' cancer as they are all related.
4/25 - 199.4 Today begins a new determination to make thoughtful food decisions and exercise decisions; I'm going to "earn" a treat with movement prior to indulging.
4/26 - 198.8 Being deliberate with water today. Dinner is meatloaf (hamburger & ground turkey) and broccoli. Posted my food plan for the day already. Planning a run/walk with my son tonight, the first time since my shin splint attack last week. Will go slow and cautious today.
4/27 - 198.6 dribbles and bits, but I'll take it! Did great with water intake yesterday, constantly ran to the restroom LOL. Just walked yesterday, I think I'm going to give it a few more days before trying to run. I want to make sure I'm fully healed first. Lunch is a "bowl" - brown rice, spinach, and chicken tender. Dinner tonight is meatloaf leftovers with a salad or something.
4/28 - 197.8 guess all the water is flushing thru LOL. Perhaps my scale was truly part of the problem as now I seem to be consistently dropping...who knows...it's probably all the water but I'll take it! Walked yesterday on the treadmill, will walk again today. It's cold and yucky out again. Dinner is probably the last round of meatloaf. Lunch is yesterday's 'bowl'.

This time around, I believe I shall focus on moving more. I do try to get out and walk but I recognise that I need to do more. What though? I have to figure out what I like because doing something that I don't enjoy will not have staying power. What are some things that you enjoy? Do you do it alone, with a buddy, in a group or all of the above?
Also, is anyone interested in being MFP or Fitbit buddies?
I sent you a MFP friend request, but I'm not on Fitbit.
I'm a pretty solo exerciser, I use it as stress relief and a time to think (or not think). Although I do enjoy a walk & talk with a friend as well, it's not my main form of exercise. I like to run, there's something about the rhythm of the breath and the foot fall that helps with stress. You might try signing up for an exercise class at the gym and try it, talk to your neighbors and see if anyone is interested in walking together. The perfect exercise is the one that you enjoy and will stick with.3 -
Hello!
Here's my stats:
Height: 5'6"
Age: 30
April starting weight: 186.2 lbs.
April goal weight: 184 lbs.
Ulitimate Goal Weight: 154 lbs.
This month, I plan to eat more at home and within my calorie goal, walk at least 1x week, and drink more water daily.
4/1/22: 186.2 lbs
4/2/22: 186.8 lbs / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal, drank lots of water, and exercised focused on legs.
4/3/22: 186.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and exercised focused on arms. Very bloated due to my monthly visitor.
4/4/22: 186.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank lots of water. Rest day with no exercise.
4/5/22: 186.0 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt unusually low energy and skipped my planned exercise.
4/6/22: 185.6 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank my planned quantity of water. No exercise again.
4/7/22: 185.2 lbs / Yesterday, I met my calorie and water goals. More activity but no formal exercise.
4/8/22: 185.4 lbs. / Yesterday, I went slightly over my calorie goal (<100 cal), exercised focused on lower body, and went on my weekly walk. Not enough water given my activity level.
4/9/22: 185.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but did not drink enough water or exercise.
4/10/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal even though I ate a lot of junk foods. I did not drink enough water or exercise. Hopefully, I can turn the upward trend around.
4/11/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and rested as planned.
4/12/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal but struggled in other areas. My mood was low.
4/13/22: 186.2 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal, drank water, and went on a long walk.
4/14/22: 187.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calories (>100 cal) I've been very frustrated with my upward trend, and yesterday I felt like giving up on my current calorie level. This morning, even though I'm over my starting weight, I'm recommiting to the current calorie level at least through the end of the month.
4/15/22: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt exhausted so I skipped exercise and went to sleep early.
4/16/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and went on a long walk window shopping as I ended work early.
4/17/22: 186.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal (<100 cal) and was very active. I did not drink enough water yesterday and woke up thirsty.
4/18/22: 184.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I rested all day per my plan. I ate my last meal much earlier than usual.
4/19/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I attempted a Sydney Cummings YouTube workout and it was very difficult for me to complete. It reminded me that health is more that one aspect, weight.
4/20/22: 186.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and exercised focusing on shoulders.
4/21/22: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and drank plenty of water.
4/22/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calorie goal (<100 cals). I started but did not complete my planned workout. I felt tired in the afternoon and did not drink enough water.
4/23/23: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I went out with co-workers and went over my calories based on my estimates. I completed the workout I did not complete the day before - so proud of myself and felt fantastic afterwards. I may end the month at or above my starting weight.
4/24/22: 186.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I went over my calories (>100 cals). I took my rest day and did not exercise. I did not drink enough water.
4/25/22: 187.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal, drank plenty of water, and exercised focused on arms.
4/26/22: 185.8 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie and water goal. I did not exercise.
4/27/22: 185.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I did not exercise due to my low mood and monthly visitor. My arms are still sore from my workout two days ago.
4/28/22: 185.0 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal and did not exercise. My appetite was not the same as usual and I forgot to eat at my usual times 🙃.

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!

04/23.…..200.6…..(Trend Weight 201.2)….. I’m very happy to see my trend weight going down. Scale up a bit today but I feel very bloated. Diet choices were good yesterday but calorie burn was low level.
04/24.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. 3.6 lbs overnight gain because of dinner out. WTH? Rotiss chicken breast, a side of pasta, a side of cottage cheese. 2 Oatmeal raisin cookies. Not exactly a diet meal but over 3 ½ pounds? Okey dokey. Bad weather has already started for the day. Rain, thunderstorms, hail expected and possible tornado watches today. I guess I’ll be inside.
04/25.…..202.2…..(Trend Weight 201.6)….. I closed all my fitbit rings for the first time in awhile. Extra large calorie burn overall and plenty of steps. Diet was just so-so and exercise wasn’t exactly structured but I’m happy to see it dropping back down. Time to get out of the 200 prison I’m in.
04/26.…..202.2…..(Trend Weight 201.6)…… Better diet but low level movement. Very restricted with this middle of house new drywall and sanding going on. Travel today with my 77 year old friend several hours each way to get her to her neurology appointment for essential tremors. Lunch/Dinner will be out.
04/27.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 201.9)…… Travel yesterday with no shopping/walking. Very little natural calorie burn and Golden Corral for dinner. Yep, that’ll do it! Gotta really watch my P’s and Q’s today!
04/28.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 201.1)…… A small drop even though dinner was out with my son, his friend and friend’s mother. A nice simple meal that didn’t go over the top.
