04/09.…..202.0…..(Trend Weight 200.4)…..
04/10.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 200.3)….. Travel weight/water retention disappearing which is fair. Now down to the nitty gritty.
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!
04/12.…..200.8…..(Trend Weight 200.5)….. Travel today and Friday. I will try to make good choices but it’s never good. The lack of any activity while driving really hurts too. This will be a challenging week.
04/13.…..202.8…..(Trend Weight 200.7)….. Travel always bites me in the *kitten*. What I hate most is that the trend weight is consistently over 200 and climbing. Oh, strength and resolve, where for art thou?
04/14.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 201.3)….. Feeling pudgy and squishy. Even my cat has begun to knead on my belly before laying down. Not a good sign! This is the day between two travels. I’ve got to make it count!
04/15……203.0…..(Trend Weight 201.2)….. Travel plans changed today. Babysitting DGS. Handyman will be coming afterall to hang more drywall. Travel changed to Monday. Enjoy your Good Friday everyone!
04/16……201.8…..(Trend Weight 201.3)….. Better on the scale today but still overeating in the late night hours, sometimes even bingeing. Daytime meals are good however. With my lack of true exercise, I’ve got to watch those calories! I am happy to see a drop on the scale. Working to get back under 200 consistently is my first short term goal at this point.
04/17.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!

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.
4/08 - 188.2
4/09 - 188.2
4/10 - 187.7
4/11 - 187.5
4/12 - 187.5
4/13 - 187.2
4/14 - 187.2
4/15 - 187.1 Was out of town for spring break, got my workouts in but need to be back making better food choices. Today is a beautiful running day!
4/16 - 186.8 Fairly easy day yesterday, made the right choices with food/drink/exercise. Need to refocus back on getting more sleep, which means getting to bed earlier.
4/17 - 186.8 I've pre-logged my Easter foods for the day and I'm in good shape calorie wise - just need to stay within the serving amounts that I've logged (that's the hard part!) It's a running day today, so at least there are some extra exercise calories coming if needed (I don't normally eat those back).
4/18 - 187.3 Slight uptick on the scale this morning, likely from the higher sodium foods from Easter. Keeping to the plan and upping my water intake today, should drop right back down.

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.

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

4/17 -142.0 Having the family over for dinner tonight. Happy Easter

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.6 -

Laaaazy weekend spent chilling with my PS4 and Netflix. We have a big list of things to do to prep our house to go onto the market but not a one was struck from said list. Next weekend
We had some snow yesterday, so I am sitting here wondering what the sidewalks are like and psyching myself up to go for my morning walk regardless. Funny how I had no challenges going for walks during the winter months (there were some days that were -27c windchill) but now, because I have been spoiled with spring weather, the return of snow is dismaying. Suck it up buttercup!
Thank you @dawnbgethealthy for peeking my interest in trying a new food. I have never heard of konjac noodles, so I googled it. It has now been placed into my Instacart buggy for this weeks groceries. Also...have you seen promos for the next Rupaul's All-Star Drag Race!? Guuuurl5 -

04/19.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.

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.

@Msmclane
No, I haven't seen the new promos yet.
Still saving up season 14 on my PVR, even the few that I have already watched I am not deleting yet.
So far I really like Willow Pill and am pulling for her.
If I watch Drag Race I have better sleeps, it takes me out of my stress and I think of the antics before drifting off.
I am really due for a binge watch : - )1 -

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.7 -

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.7 -

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

4/19 - 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.
So, I'm looking for:
- scale recommendation
- ideas on recovering from shin splints
Thanks!!4 -

04/16……201.8…..(Trend Weight 201.3)….. Better on the scale today but still overeating in the late night hours, sometimes even bingeing. Daytime meals are good however. With my lack of true exercise, I’ve got to watch those calories! I am happy to see a drop on the scale. Working to get back under 200 consistently is my first short term goal at this point.
04/17.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. A good day yesterday dietary-wise. However, day 2 of no TMI and a serious lack of steps yesterday. Gotta burn what you eat!
04/18.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 201.8)….. Did someone say Easter Dinner?
04/19.…..199.2…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.
04/20.…..200.8…..(Trend Weight 201.5)….. I think this is my weight and body adjusting after such a large drop on the scale yesterday. While I’m not happy with this number, it does feel correct and right.

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.

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.

4/12 - 187.5
4/13 - 187.2
4/14 - 187.2
4/15 - 187.1 Was out of town for spring break, got my workouts in but need to be back making better food choices. Today is a beautiful running day!
4/16 - 186.8 Fairly easy day yesterday, made the right choices with food/drink/exercise. Need to refocus back on getting more sleep, which means getting to bed earlier.
4/17 - 186.8 I've pre-logged my Easter foods for the day and I'm in good shape calorie wise - just need to stay within the serving amounts that I've logged (that's the hard part!) It's a running day today, so at least there are some extra exercise calories coming if needed (I don't normally eat those back).
4/18 - 187.3 Slight uptick on the scale this morning, likely from the higher sodium foods from Easter. Keeping to the plan and upping my water intake today, should drop right back down.
4/19 - 186.8
4/20 - 186.4 Chilly but beautiful running day today. Woke up with very stiff calf muscles, so lots of dynamic stretches today as well.

April Goal Weight: 183.0
Stats: 44 y/o female, 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism dealing with menopause, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, and rosacea - not to be used as excuses, but to be reminders of being kind to my body and accepting of its journey.
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.
4/18: 187.5 - Easter dinner made by my husband with lots of calories and carbs.
4/19: 188.4 - Ate Easter dinner leftovers. Not feeling well at all. Bloated.
4/20: 188.5 - The big Easter meal and recent over-eating has my stomach and my mind craving to eat more to feel full - and craving not just anything but carbs and sweets. Last night dinner plans were switched to pizza due to a change in the kids schedule which did not help. So far, I have eaten only chicken, salad, and the crust of my daughter's slice of pizza for lunch and I am drinking coffee non-stop to stay awake. I need to switch to water instead, I know. It's going to be a struggle to get myself back into the space I was at the beginning of the month, but I am determined to keep trying.7 -

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

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.

4/10/22: 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.

4/14/22: 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.

4/15/22: 186.6 lbs. / Yesterday, I met my calorie goal. I felt exhausted so I skipped exercise and went to sleep early.
