@Msmclane
I exercise more in order to eat a bit more, so yeah, I eat some of my exercise calories back.
I aim each day to have 500 in the Green on the MFP end of day tracker.4 -

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.

Had a late lunch yesterday, so just wanted something light for dinner. Hubby volunteered to make a delicious salad with chickpeas. After dinner, I pulled out MFP and asked, how much chickpeas was there in the salad, "I dunno....a handful" "Who's handful?" Show him MFP and point out "handful" is not one of the options. Perhaps it should be 6 -

Height 5'4" Age:52
Ultimate Goal Weight 127-134 lbs.
April Start Weight: 189.4 lbs.
April Goal Weight: 182.4 lbs.
April Goals: Running 3 x per week, Work on core/hip strength, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability
4/01- 189.4 lbs. Rest Day...not great with calories today
4/02- 189.2 lbs. Nice Running Day + 30 minutes of core/hip strength training
4/03- 189.2 lbs. Active Recovery Day planned + doing some household organizing & menu planning for the week ahead.
4/04 -188.9 lbs. Easy day yesterday, good food choices & into bed early (early for me at least). Good way to start this new week! Lots of rain expected this week (after today) which will cause some shuffling to my running plans but hoping for the best!
4/05 - 188.4 Good running day yesterday + 30 minutes of core/hip strength training. Very little sleep last night, due to aching joints but surprising feel okay this morning. This is the last sunny day this week before the rainy days start but this is an active recovery day for me, so won't get to enjoy the good running weather instead have a short body strength workout planned and lots of yoga stretching.
4/06 - 188.2 Went to bed super early last night, which was much needed! Being overtired yesterday, led to ordering pizza instead of cooking my planned dinner, but I was mindful of what I was eating and logged it and stayed within my calorie range. Yesterday was an active recovery day so worked on agility & balance strength movements and yoga-based stretches for hips and hamstrings. Waiting for the rain to ease up today, and then I'll get a run in.
4/07 - 188.2 Really thought there was going to be a big drop on the scale this morning, maybe tomorrow! Feels like a whoosh is coming Today is a non-running cardio day + maybe some weight training.

I don't run (well maybe 20 steps at a time during my hikes/walks) but yes, you runners seems to run no matter the weather.
I rearrange my schedule where I can to get out to the trails when the weather is favourable.
Could you just make the pretty days running days? Lol, I obviously don't know how this works in the running world, perhaps you need a rigid schedule.
My whole life feels largely dependent on weather. I had such a busy work week when the weather was perfect and I just couldn't get out to the trails, I am hopeful that it will be nice out on my weekend days off. If not it will be indoor workouts for me.
We are so far flung here geographically, and weather really does seem to make a difference to our activity levels.1 -

April Goals: Running 3 x per week, Work on core/hip strength, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability
4/01- 189.4 lbs. Rest Day...not great with calories today
4/02- 189.2 lbs. Nice Running Day + 30 minutes of core/hip strength training
4/03- 189.2 lbs. Active Recovery Day planned + doing some household organizing & menu planning for the week ahead.
4/04 -188.9 lbs. Easy day yesterday, good food choices & into bed early (early for me at least). Good way to start this new week! Lots of rain expected this week (after today) which will cause some shuffling to my running plans but hoping for the best!
4/05 - 188.4 Good running day yesterday + 30 minutes of core/hip strength training. Very little sleep last night, due to aching joints but surprising feel okay this morning. This is the last sunny day this week before the rainy days start but this is an active recovery day for me, so won't get to enjoy the good running weather instead have a short body strength workout planned and lots of yoga stretching.
4/06 - 188.2 Went to bed super early last night, which was much needed! Being overtired yesterday, led to ordering pizza instead of cooking my planned dinner, but I was mindful of what I was eating and logged it and stayed within my calorie range. Yesterday was an active recovery day so worked on agility & balance strength movements and yoga-based stretches for hips and hamstrings. Waiting for the rain to ease up today, and then I'll get a run in.
4/07 - 188.2 Really thought there was going to be a big drop on the scale this morning, maybe tomorrow! Feels like a whoosh is coming Today is a non-running cardio day + maybe some weight training.
4/08 - DNW..my husband was still taking a shower this morning (where the scale is) when I needed to weigh-in, so no stats to post today. Ended up taking yesterday as a rest day (originally scheduled for today), so re-working my exercise plan for the remainder of the week - think today will be a running day.

I don't mind a little rain on a run - But when it's early spring and there have not been too many pretty days yet, I wish the pretty ones were running days
I don't run (well maybe 20 steps at a time during my hikes/walks) but yes, you runners seems to run no matter the weather.
I rearrange my schedule where I can to get out to the trails when the weather is favourable.
Could you just make the pretty days running days? Lol, I obviously don't know how this works in the running world, perhaps you need a rigid schedule.
My whole life feels largely dependent on weather. I had such a busy work week when the weather was perfect and I just couldn't get out to the trails, I am hopeful that it will be nice out on my weekend days off. If not it will be indoor workouts for me.
We are so far flung here geographically, and weather really does seem to make a difference to our activity levels.
If I am training for a specific race or event then I run no matter the weather (except lightening) because I am usually on a strict timeline and you never know what race day conditions will be so it is helpful to train in a variety of conditions. If I don't have a goal race, then I'm super flexible with when I run. Currently, I am easing back into running after an injury in November and I only run 3 days a week and my body needs those days to be non-consecutive to aid in injury prevention. Makes it a little tricker to shuffle for weather, but I'm so happy to be running again, that it's all good!2 -
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!

Starting Weight (from March 31, 2022): 199.6
Goal: 194.6 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
04/01…...199.8…..(Trend Weight 199.4)….. Not such a great way to start.
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.
04/03.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 199.6}….. Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.
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.
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!
04/06.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 199.5)….. Donuts showed up on the scale today. Thank Goodness for all the extra steps and miles yesterday or it could have been worse. Staying diligent today.
04/07.…..DNW…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Travel.
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!

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!
