🌱
April 1: Happy April Fools Day! 156.4 lbs
April 2: 154 lbs. I think mainly water weight from higher sodium a couple of days ago. But I'll take it! Worked today but got out early enough I could get a 98 minute Elliptical workout in for 6 miles. My 14 hour days ended yesterday (Thank God!) It was a long 12 weeks. Now back to 10 hour work days and got out at 9 hours today. Don't know how to act, leaving work when the sun is still up!
April 3: 152 lbs
April 4: 150 lbs NEW LOW!!!
April 5: 148.6 lbs ANOTHER NEW LOW!!! 3.6 lbs more till I'm not overweight!!! I think my whoosh is because I didn't lose anything in March.
April 6: 147.6 lbs ANOTHER NEW LOW!!! :-) I did 2 sessions on Tues on my Elliptical, 335 mins total for 26.2 miles, A MARATHON!
April 7: 147.6 lbs
April 8: 150 lbs :-( Was hoping not to see 150's ever again. Did 143 minutes on my Elliptical today after work for 10 miles. I never exercise after work but it felt great! And I'm off the weekend!
April 9: 152.2 lbs :-( Disappointing but I'm sure it's water weight. I ate the last of the corned beef last evening. It's so salty. Did 330 minutes on my Elliptical today for 22.51 miles total in a 280 minute session in the AM and a 50 minute session in the afternoon. Was going to do the last 3.69 miles needed for a marathon distance after dinner at my son's house but didn't then. Tomorrow's another day. :-l
April 10: 151 lbs Did my Elliptical 272 minutes today for 17.54 miles.
April 11: 155 lbs, I'm human. :-( Stayed with in my calories yesterday but dinner was junk. Today I ate Chinese for dinner so tomorrow will be worse.
April 12: 156.4 lbs
April 13: 155.6 lbs
April 14: 151.6 lbs
April 15: 151.8 lbs SOME of the water weight finally off. I hadn't had Chinese for over a year till 4/11/22 and realized after I ate it, it really wasn't that great tasting anyway. Hopefully I get myself back on the WAGON and get back on track. I want to lose the last 25 or so pounds. Elliptical today 183 minutes for 13.56 miles. At least I'm still doing at least 3 hours on my Elliptical on my days off.

April 6: DNW

April 13: 170.8 (Mentally tired but physically I enjoyed a fantastic hard ride on the Peloton. My husband has been on the road for work all week so I look forward to having him back tomorrow.)
April 14: 168.8 (So excited for the long weekend. It's snowing here tonight. My husband got home and we ran errands so I didn't ride the bike today. Back on tomorrow!)

Hi... I think I've rejoined the land of the living after being sick the past week. I didn't finish the March challenge because of that. I was heading the wrong way throughout March and hope to do better this month. Fingers crossed.
Goals:
⚖️ weigh daily (starting tomorrow 4/4/22)
* actually LOSE weight instead of gain it
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ get back out on my feet or on my bike for at least 20 minutes each day
🥤 drink more water
📚 me time, every day
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Lowest weight since I started in June 2020 = 177.4 (9/19/21) - been climbing ever since...
Final weight from last month's challenge (March 30, 2022) = 204.4
Starting weight for this challenge (April 4, 2022) = 199.2 (Don't recommend this "sick" method to lose)
So..... here goes nothing.....
4/1 - didn't weigh, slept most of the day
4/2 - didn't weigh, slept most of the day, but did walk the dog twice (had to, my daughter wasn't home .... it wasn't pretty)
4/3 - didn't weigh - haven't tracked - everything (including work) starts again tomorrow.
4/4 - ⚖️ 199.2 - back to work. Oh Yay. 🚶♀️ Decided to drive so knew I wasn't going to get my exercise in today. Wrong. Pulled out of my parking lot this morning, thought, "Wow, my truck is running kind of rough today." No sooner were the words formed in my head than... BAM! Check engine light came on. I was headed to the gas station. Finished that, drove home, grabbed my stuff and waved sadly at my bus as I was walking out of the gate. Sat at the stop for another half hour then, when I finally got downtown, hoofed it a little faster than my lungs were happy with to get to work on time. That meant walking back to the bus stop after work, then I walked the dog last night.
4/5 - ⚖️ 201.2 (+2.0) - see what happens when you eat three "real" meals. Sigh. Truck is going to cost about $600 to fix. Better than I expected, more than I wanted. Anybody know anybody that removes curses? I'd like to talk to that person.
4/6 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.4) - 🚶♀️ - called the shop and asked them to check the truck's ac, if they would. Said if they check it, they service it and that's going to cost me an additional $200. Le sigh. It's a black truck. This is Arizona. I haven't run the ac much yet this year, but I have run it and it doesn't blow as cool as it used to. I refuse to drive here without the ac, so I'm sucking it up and they're servicing the ac. BAH!
4/7 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.0) - 🚶♀️
4/8 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.0) - 🚶♀️
4/9 - ⚖️ 201.2 (+0.4) - 🚶♀️
4/10 - ⚖️ 202.0 (+0.8) - 🚶♀️
4/11 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+0.4) - 🚶♀️
4/12 - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.2) - 🚶♀️
4/13 - ⚖️ 201.0 (-1.2) - 🚶♀️- I've been absent, but I've been keeping track. The "save draft" feature saves me too.
4/14 - ⚖️ 200.0 (-1.0) - 🚶♀️
4/15 - First night of Passover! - ⚖️ 201.0 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️
4/16 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+1.4) - 🚶♀️ - This is burgers and pizza the past couple of nights. And, looking for houses is not fun... Well, it is... but it's kind of depressing. I need to win the lottery. Just saying.
4/17 - Happy Easter! 🐰

💐April Challenge💐
My name is Mary. I participated in the monthly challenges last fall. Back home and would like to start again. A couple reasons why I like thus challenge and group is because of self awareness and accountability. I find support in the groups updates and feedbacks. I do hope I able to join this group again.
Heaviest weight: 204 lbs (I was probably heavier but did not have the courage to step on the scale.)
Current weight: 180 lbs
April weight lost so far: ⬆️ +5 lbs
Daily Goals:
🌷start my day with meditation 🧘♀️
🌷start my morning 🌄 with water🚰 and stepping on the treadmill
🌷reduce my carbs and replace with proteins
🌷end my day practicing gratitude🌠
Weight loss goal 5lbs 🖐
April 1: 180 lbs
April 6: 180 lbs
Wednesday is my usual weigh in time. I have been mindful of my calories but exercising could be better. I ended up binge watching Ozark so my evening gratitude was lacking also. Will work on the exercising and Ozark is done.
April 13: 182 lbs ⬇️⬇️ Well not back to my original weight but I will take it. It helps to have yardwork to add in for extra activity. Keep my nose to the grindstone. The month is halfway over.
April 14: 186 lbs ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ OMG how does this happen. I did my exercises no changes in my food. I gain 4 lbs less than 24 hours. This is depressing 😕

Hi all,
48 year old female (5’7”)
I’ve been very unmotivated and been off of here for a few weeks and feeling really lousy. Trying to get back on track…
April 11: 195.4
I’ve been distracted lately and sadly I am back up to my highest weight. I am really not happy about it with the first family dinners in two years coming up this weekend for Passover. I haven’t seen my folks all winter because they have been away and I'm sure my mom will make a comment. All I can do is try and be better.

Been busy with work and not tracking or posting. Also been physically and mentally exhausted. I had two nice Passover dinners with family for the first time in two years. Time to get recharged, get productive, get my eating in check and start working out! Happy Easter for those that celebrate it!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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!

April 2: 209.2–Had a fun birthday party! Crazy to think my oldest is now 21. Wow does time fly!

April 4: 209.1 Back on track! Feeling fabulous! The key to my success is my 10 minute morning exercise. 💃🏻 Happy Monday!
April 5: 208.2 🐣 Back in the good groove! Trying out the “FlyLadyPlus” cleaning mobile app and pairing it with MFP. So far after a week I feel a little less overwhelmed with keeping up the house. The secret for most things in life is “progress not perfection” and short bursts of activity. It’s working! No… I’m not a paid spokesperson just a working mom trying to keep it together. 😆 Have a terrific Tuesday! Off to dance like no one is watching! 😂
April 6: 207.4 Feeling off today. Gonna take it easy… it’s supposed to rain most of the day, so I won’t feel like I’m wasting a day off not being out in the yard. It’s the perfect day for catching up on laundry. Enjoy your Wednesday. ❤️
April 7: 208.1 Feeling better today. 🙂. I’ll try to get in a Roxie walk in between rain clouds. ☔️ Happy Thursday! We took a nice long walk today, so Roxie will be sleeping most of the day. 🐾
April 8: 207.4 Another rainy day, but the daffodils are popping up. ☔️🌼 It’s a good day to be at work… no guilt that I should be outside in the sunshine. Happy Friday!
April 9: 207.5 Holding steady… feeling good. Happy Saturday! 🥰
April 10: 208.1 was doing well until I ate 4 chocolate chip cookies before bed. I logged them disgustedly into my diary then decided to just move on. Can’t dwell on the past… only try to learn from it. Today is a new day and the sun is out!!☀️ Time to take Roxie for a walk. 🦮🌱
April 11: 208.7…night snacking 😕Ah well, today is a new day. Just exercised so I’m starting off on the right foot. Happy Monday!
April 12: 208.4… progress. 🥰
April 13: 209.6… must… stop… stress… snacking. Hanging in there… by a thread
April 14: 208.6 Happy Thursday! It’s a yard day today!!! 56 degrees and ☀️
April 15: 209.1 Happy Good Friday & Happy Easter Weekend! Be kind to yourself.❤️
April 16: 210.1
April 17: 210.1 Happy Easter & Passover

April 14: 168.8 (So excited for the long weekend. It's snowing here tonight. My husband got home and we ran errands so I didn't ride the bike today. Back on tomorrow!)
April 15: 167.2 (Going to take it easy around the house for the most part today I think. My husband is making us a nice steak dinner tonight. I will get on the Peloton too.)
April 16: 167.6 (Today's activities will include a Peloton ride, a haircut, a walk with my dog, and a date night with my husband.)
April 17: 167.6 (Love that I've held in my normal BMI range for three days now. Today was a full day of activity - a hike, some strength work, and a Peloton ride. Really enjoyed the day!)
April 18: 168.6 (Even if you think you can't.... you can! Wishing everyone a good week after Easter fun.)

Hi all,
48 year old female (5’7”)
I’ve been very unmotivated and been off of here for a few weeks and feeling really lousy. Trying to get back on track…
April 11: 195.4
I’ve been distracted lately and sadly I am back up to my highest weight. I am really not happy about it with the first family dinners in two years coming up this weekend for Passover. I haven’t seen my folks all winter because they have been away and I'm sure my mom will make a comment. All I can do is try and be better.

Been busy with work and not tracking or posting. Also been physically and mentally exhausted. I had two nice Passover dinners with family for the first time in two years. Time to get recharged, get productive, get my eating in check and start working out!

April 18: 196.8
We had two nice Passover seders (dinners) with family that we haven't seen in year. However, it was a stressful weekend. Niece isn't doing well with her mental health, my mother-in-law tested Covid positive for the 3rd time since January. She is immune compromised from cancer. We did tests before going to our family dinner which meant she couldn't go. To top it off, our dog is sick. I've just been stress eating and the scale has hit its all time high. Not letting it get me down, just going to try and be better this week.

💐April Challenge💐
My name is Mary. I participated in the monthly challenges last fall. Back home and would like to start again. A couple reasons why I like thus challenge and group is because of self awareness and accountability. I find support in the groups updates and feedbacks. I do hope I able to join this group again.
Heaviest weight: 204 lbs (I was probably heavier but did not have the courage to step on the scale.)
Current weight: 180 lbs
April weight lost so far: ⬆️ +5 lbs
Daily Goals:
🌷start my day with meditation 🧘♀️
🌷start my morning 🌄 with water🚰 and stepping on the treadmill
🌷reduce my carbs and replace with proteins
🌷end my day practicing gratitude🌠
Weight loss goal 5lbs 🖐
April 1: 180 lbs

Wednesday is my usual weigh in time. I have been mindful of my calories but exercising could be better. I ended up binge watching Ozark so my evening gratitude was lacking also. Will work on the exercising and Ozark is done.
April 13: 182 lbs ⬇️⬇️ Well not back to my original weight but I will take it. It helps to have yardwork to add in for extra activity. Keep my nose to the grindstone. The month is halfway over.
April 14: 186 lbs ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ OMG how does this happen. I did my exercises no changes in my food. I gain 4 lbs less than 24 hours. This is depressing 😕

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!

04/17.…..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.

Hi... I think I've rejoined the land of the living after being sick the past week. I didn't finish the March challenge because of that. I was heading the wrong way throughout March and hope to do better this month. Fingers crossed.
Goals:
⚖️ weigh daily (starting tomorrow 4/4/22)
* actually LOSE weight instead of gain it
😅🚶♀️🏃🏻♀️🚴🏻♀️ get back out on my feet or on my bike for at least 20 minutes each day
🥤 drink more water
📚 me time, every day
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Lowest weight since I started in June 2020 = 177.4 (9/19/21) - been climbing ever since...
Final weight from last month's challenge (March 30, 2022) = 204.4
Starting weight for this challenge (April 4, 2022) = 199.2 (Don't recommend this "sick" method to lose)
So..... here goes nothing.....
4/1 - didn't weigh, slept most of the day
4/2 - didn't weigh, slept most of the day, but did walk the dog twice (had to, my daughter wasn't home .... it wasn't pretty)
4/3 - didn't weigh - haven't tracked - everything (including work) starts again tomorrow.
4/4 - ⚖️ 199.2 - back to work. Oh Yay. 🚶♀️ Decided to drive so knew I wasn't going to get my exercise in today. Wrong. Pulled out of my parking lot this morning, thought, "Wow, my truck is running kind of rough today." No sooner were the words formed in my head than... BAM! Check engine light came on. I was headed to the gas station. Finished that, drove home, grabbed my stuff and waved sadly at my bus as I was walking out of the gate. Sat at the stop for another half hour then, when I finally got downtown, hoofed it a little faster than my lungs were happy with to get to work on time. That meant walking back to the bus stop after work, then I walked the dog last night.
4/5 - ⚖️ 201.2 (+2.0) - see what happens when you eat three "real" meals. Sigh. Truck is going to cost about $600 to fix. Better than I expected, more than I wanted. Anybody know anybody that removes curses? I'd like to talk to that person.
4/6 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.4) - 🚶♀️ - called the shop and asked them to check the truck's ac, if they would. Said if they check it, they service it and that's going to cost me an additional $200. Le sigh. It's a black truck. This is Arizona. I haven't run the ac much yet this year, but I have run it and it doesn't blow as cool as it used to. I refuse to drive here without the ac, so I'm sucking it up and they're servicing the ac. BAH!
4/7 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.0) - 🚶♀️
4/8 - ⚖️ 200.8 (-0.0) - 🚶♀️
4/9 - ⚖️ 201.2 (+0.4) - 🚶♀️
4/10 - ⚖️ 202.0 (+0.8) - 🚶♀️
4/11 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+0.4) - 🚶♀️
4/12 - ⚖️ 202.2 (-0.2) - 🚶♀️
4/13 - ⚖️ 201.0 (-1.2) - 🚶♀️- I've been absent, but I've been keeping track. The "save draft" feature saves me too.
4/14 - ⚖️ 200.0 (-1.0) - 🚶♀️
4/15 - First night of Passover! - ⚖️ 201.0 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️
4/16 - ⚖️ 202.4 (+1.4) - 🚶♀️ - This is burgers and pizza the past couple of nights. And, looking for houses is not fun... Well, it is... but it's kind of depressing. I need to win the lottery. Just saying.
4/17 - Happy Easter! 🐰 - ⚖️ 202.8 (+0.4) - 🚶♀️
4/18 - ⚖️ 203.2 (+0.8) - 🚶♀️ - actually drank more water than soda today. Not much more, but some... unfortunately, the soda was "fully leaded"
4/19 - ⚖️ 204.2 (+1.0) - 🚶♀️ - no surprises here....
