I am Dawn
61 years old, 5'2"
I joined MFP in October 2018
I have lost around 50 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose. I was 10 pounds less at this time last year and really did feel better. Right now I don't fit into the clothes that I was wearing then. I will use that as motivation to try to reduce.
Friday July 01 - 138.6 - Happy Canada Day : - ) I will try to keep it reasonable today after work when all of the festivities are going on. This morning shows me up 0.9 above last month's start weight.
Saturday July 02 - 136.2 - Huh? Well, I'll take it : - ) Danced my *kitten* off at the park right near my house. We too had a big rain storm at one point and got drenched. Ran under a tree, the band temporarily stopped so we went back to my place to change clothes and went back when we heard the band start back up. We got a beautiful rainbow after all of that : - )
Sunday July 03 - 138.4 - I went into the red a little bit (18) yesterday which rarely happens. The scale has reflected it. It is supposed to rain here for today and tomorrow, so I got all of the grass cut and stuff yesterday. Today I will pick away at indoor stuff, get the floors washed etc.
Monday July 04 - 141.0 - Ouch
Tuesday July 05 - 140.4 - Very late dinner last night, so hoping to see a good drop tomorrow as I anticipate a normal eating window tonight. Went to see the Elvis movie, then watched the Macy's July 4th celebration on TV.
Wednesday July 06 - 138.6 - Okay, back to the month's start weight
Thursday July 07 - 138.6 - Expected a big drop today, so very much activity and little food. Maybe it will take a couple of days, or maybe my body likes it best at this weight.
Start weight this month: 138.6

I had sweet and sour chicken with some rice and veggies. I was able to eat a small hamburger patty on the 4th of July. Just have to keep things cut up small. Still not ready for steak. Scale is starting to creep up, so I need to be careful!6 -

07/06.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 203.6)….. A great day yesterday on the diet front. Logged every calorie and made great choices. Closed all my circles on my fitbit which always makes me feel like a winner! Water pill yesterday puts me down almost 2 pounds. So this is my true weight without the water retention. Not happy with the number-Much more work to do. I got some stationary biking in but I did not get a walk in. However, my friend Amy and I (and her son Kyle) got the 5x10 Catio up. Now, to get the roof on and furnish/decorate it! Pebbles and Harriet are going to love it! I think they will prefer it over the leash.
07/07.…..202.0…..(Trend Weight 203.4)….. No sleep last night. Feel horrible. No TMI day 2. I did have the water pill yesterday. Some weeks it ends up back to back because I take it every other day, so not today. Zapped of energy. I just want to lay on the couch but two handymen are coming. Cardiologist’s RN called yesterday and said I have 50% ejection fraction. Should be 60-75% so I am what they consider on the borderline for heart failure. That’s on the left ventricle issue. New issue showed up on the rest test. Lower part of my heart has scarring on two of the walls which indicates I’ve had a heart attack. We don’t know when. Good news is that blood is still flowing all around the bottom so no real bad damage at this point. Bad news is that over time the scarring will cause a stiffening that will make it hard for the heart to beat. July 12th is the appointment when we discuss treatment plans if any. Could be much better, could be much worse. All I know is that I absolutely cannot breathe when exerting myself.

June Start Weight: 181.8 lbs.
July Start Weight: 175.4 lbs.
July Goals: Running 3 x per week, Body Strength Workouts, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability
7/01: 175.4 Yesterday was a running day + core workout. NSV: I ordered a dress online in an XL and Large to see which would fit best for an event this week and then decided to order the Medium just in case. It arrived last night, and the medium is the clear winner!
7/02: 175.2 Yesterday was a running day + upper body strength workout. Switched my Saturday run to Friday due to a forecast of all day thunderstorms on Saturday and had to run in the 90+heat...so miserable but got it done! And do you think it is actually thunderstorming now that it is Saturday....no!
7/03: 175.0 Yesterday was a full body HIIT workout and other than that a very sedentary day, need to move more today.
7/04: 174.7 Yesterday was a scheduled rest day but got in a good number of steps going for a walk with my husband and then out shopping. Today I hit the 20 lbs. weight loss mark & am no longer in the obese range for BMI... YAY!!
7/05: 173.7 Yesterday was a running day + full body endurance workout with weights. My meals for most of today and tomorrow are mostly out of my control (and I plan on alcoholic beverages tonight which I have been limiting while losing weight) but will do as well as I can but fully expect to see a gain when I weigh in again on 7/7 but also fully know it will come right back down when I return to my normal schedule.
7/06: (Out of town, will not be able to weigh-in) Yesterday was an upper body endurance workout before I left town and then lots of steps afterwards, hit 24,000+ for the day.
7/07: 177.0 Back home to weigh-in this morning, scale is up 3.3 lbs. from Tuesday's weigh-in. I was expecting this and know it is not a real "gain'. The important thing is I am in a place where I can have days that are indulgence days and then get right back to working on my goals without being derailed. This is a big improvement for me!

I am glad to see the tip-toe progress down the scale. I took my thyroid medicine everyday and stopped drinking soda at work. Two big stars on my goals sheet there! I need to work on logging every calorie after I eat it because when I leave it to the end of the night, I do not remember well. One day I will be organized enough to pre-plan calories again. I made it 5 out of 7 days to the Rec Center.

I got up to go to bed at 1:30 AM and was up at 6:00. I only got in 2100 steps so my scale didn’t go down much. I felt so bad I even took an at-home covid test but it was solidly negative. Sore and in pain today from all the laying down. My body is not used to that! I’m still feeling woozy. I hope it gets better. I am babysitting DGS today. I am being scheduled for a CTA scan which is less invasive than a heart cath. Waiting for the call on date and time.

Friday July 08 - 138.5 - So quick to gain, so slooowww to take off. Banner week, lots of exercise and healthy food choices. I honestly had expected a better drop. Friday night is usually when I eat something a bit more indulgent (but staying within calories). We'll see.

June results: -1.0
July goal: maintenance of 128-132
I was not going to participate this month but realized soft diet restrictions lift as of the 6th. So I know as I incorporate more food, the scales will move. Goal is still to maintain weight. I would love to get to 125, but it has taken surgery and very little food to get to 128. I am happy around 130, so I believe I will focus on maintaining and working out. Need to tighten up now.
7/01: 128.6 (128.9 trend)
7/02: DNW
7/03: 125.8 (128.1 trend) not my scales so I'm not thinking this is accurate. Thought I would post anyway. Certain when I get home, that number will jump up
7/04: DNW
7/05: DNW
7/06: 129.0 (128.1 trend) I knew that scale was not right. Oh well, still within range.
7/07: 129.4 (128.3 trend) really need to be mindful now of my food intake. Starting to log again

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
May start: 128.4 May end: 127.4
June results: -1.0
July goal: maintenance of 128-132
I was not going to participate this month but realized soft diet restrictions lift as of the 6th. So I know as I incorporate more food, the scales will move. Goal is still to maintain weight. I would love to get to 125, but it has taken surgery and very little food to get to 128. I am happy around 130, so I believe I will focus on maintaining and working out. Need to tighten up now.
7/01: 128.6 (128.9 trend)
7/02: DNW
7/03: 125.8 (128.1 trend) not my scales so I'm not thinking this is accurate. Thought I would post anyway. Certain when I get home, that number will jump up
7/04: DNW
7/05: DNW
7/06: 129.0 (128.1 trend) I knew that scale was not right. Oh well, still within range.
7/07: 129.4 (128.3 trend) really need to be mindful now of my food intake. Starting to log again
7/08: 129.6 (128.4 trend) keeps creeping up

Ultimate Goal Weight 127-134 lbs.
March Start Weight: 194.8 lbs.
April Start Weight: 189.4 lbs.
May Start Weight: 184.1 lbs.
June Start Weight: 181.8 lbs.
July Start Weight: 175.4 lbs.
July Goals: Running 3 x per week, Body Strength Workouts, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability
7/01: 175.4 Yesterday was a running day + core workout. NSV: I ordered a dress online in an XL and Large to see which would fit best for an event this week and then decided to order the Medium just in case. It arrived last night, and the medium is the clear winner!
7/02: 175.2 Yesterday was a running day + upper body strength workout. Switched my Saturday run to Friday due to a forecast of all day thunderstorms on Saturday and had to run in the 90+heat...so miserable but got it done! And do you think it is actually thunderstorming now that it is Saturday....no!
7/03: 175.0 Yesterday was a full body HIIT workout and other than that a very sedentary day, need to move more today.
7/04: 174.7 Yesterday was a scheduled rest day but got in a good number of steps going for a walk with my husband and then out shopping. Today I hit the 20 lbs. weight loss mark & am no longer in the obese range for BMI... YAY!!
7/05: 173.7 Yesterday was a running day + full body endurance workout with weights. My meals for most of today and tomorrow are mostly out of my control (and I plan on alcoholic beverages tonight which I have been limiting while losing weight) but will do as well as I can but fully expect to see a gain when I weigh in again on 7/7 but also fully know it will come right back down when I return to my normal schedule.
7/06: (Out of town, will not be able to weigh-in) Yesterday was an upper body endurance workout before I left town and then lots of steps afterwards, hit 24,000+ for the day.
7/07: 177.0 Back home to weigh-in this morning, scale is up 3.3 lbs. from Tuesday's weigh-in. I was expecting this and know it is not a real "gain'. The important thing is I am in a place where I can have days that are indulgence days and then get right back to working on my goals without being derailed. This is a big improvement for me!
7/08: 175.6 Scale is moving back down, which is encouraging but woke up feeling sick this morning. So far testing negative for C19 & hoping it's not strep either. Going to take it easy today, no workouts, lots of fluids.
7/09: 173.8 Still sick but still testing negative so that's good news. Have head congestion, sore throat, fever, headache, body aches, chills, super weak & tired, so definitely have something but fingers crossed it doesn't last long.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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!

07/08.…..201.8…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Wow! What fatigue yesterday. Laid down on the couch at 4:30 dozing off and on (I don’t take naps normally). I probably only ate about 500 calories. I got up to go to bed at 1:30 AM and was up at 6:00. I only got in 2100 steps so my scale didn’t go down much. I felt so bad I even took an at-home covid test but it was solidly negative. Sore and in pain today from all the laying down. My body is not used to that! I’m still feeling woozy. I hope it gets better. I am babysitting DGS today. I am being scheduled for a CTA scan which is less invasive than a heart cath. Waiting for the call on date and time.
07/09.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. Finally day 4 of no TMI and relief came! It showed up on the scale in a big way. Onederland! Can I hang on to that elusive old friend of mine? Time will tell. I have been feeling fatigue and bad cough since Thursday. Finally tested positive for covid last night. Left message for Dr who called me back and said just take it easy at home. No need for hospital. Retest after the 5th day of symptoms. I am vaccinated x 3 but didn’t get the 4th booster this summer due to all those heart tests. Cardiologist had said to wait so I had planned the newest one available in the fall. Clearly the old vacs are wearing off. So far, this has not affected my hunger. I’ve even logged for part of the day until I just get too tired to get up and finish or close it out. However, I know I’ve been below my 1400 calories and stayed within my macros because I have still carefully planned my meals and snacks. Just not a lot of movement and no exercise.

Oh no Donna about the Covid!
It seems like people can test negative before testing positive.
Rest my friend.
@mthomas0228
You are still sick, will you retest for Covid?2 -
I am Dawn
61 years old, 5'2"
I joined MFP in October 2018
I have lost around 50 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose. I was 10 pounds less at this time last year and really did feel better. Right now I don't fit into the clothes that I was wearing then. I will use that as motivation to try to reduce.
Friday July 01 - 138.6 - Happy Canada Day : - ) I will try to keep it reasonable today after work when all of the festivities are going on. This morning shows me up 0.9 above last month's start weight.
Saturday July 02 - 136.2 - Huh? Well, I'll take it : - ) Danced my *kitten* off at the park right near my house. We too had a big rain storm at one point and got drenched. Ran under a tree, the band temporarily stopped so we went back to my place to change clothes and went back when we heard the band start back up. We got a beautiful rainbow after all of that : - )
Sunday July 03 - 138.4 - I went into the red a little bit (18) yesterday which rarely happens. The scale has reflected it. It is supposed to rain here for today and tomorrow, so I got all of the grass cut and stuff yesterday. Today I will pick away at indoor stuff, get the floors washed etc.
Monday July 04 - 141.0 - Ouch
Tuesday July 05 - 140.4 - Very late dinner last night, so hoping to see a good drop tomorrow as I anticipate a normal eating window tonight. Went to see the Elvis movie, then watched the Macy's July 4th celebration on TV.
Wednesday July 06 - 138.6 - Okay, back to the month's start weight
Thursday July 07 - 138.6 - Expected a big drop today, so very much activity and little food. Maybe it will take a couple of days, or maybe my body likes it best at this weight.
Friday July 08 - 138.5 - So quick to gain, so slooowww to take off. Banner week, lots of exercise and healthy food choices. I honestly had expected a better drop. Friday night is usually when I eat something a bit more indulgent (but staying within calories). We'll see.
Saturday July 09 - 137.7 - I did have 4 wings last night. Weekends I definitely eat a little differently. I also have more time for working out on my days off, but I don't get the steps on my pedometre that I do while waitressing during the week.
Start weight this month: 138.6

July's Daily Plan - Take meds, Quit soda, Log everything, Rec Center Workout
07/01: 190.7 - Check, Check, Check, Check
07/02: 190.7 - Not hitting calories yet, but I am on the right path. I took a beginner's strength lesson.
07/03: 190.3 - Zumba day! It was so fun!
07/04: 190.3 - Plantar fasciitis triggered again. It's so frustrating. Focus on creating routines.
07/05: 190.5 - Big meal for fireworks celebration and pre-braces meal for my kids.
07/06: 190.2 - Work out included cycling and a beginner weight lifting session.
07/07: 189.9 - Three doctor's appointments in one day and work in the evening.
Week One Assessment: -0.8
I am glad to see the tip-toe progress down the scale. I took my thyroid medicine everyday and stopped drinking soda at work. Two big stars on my goals sheet there! I need to work on logging every calorie after I eat it because when I leave it to the end of the night, I do not remember well. One day I will be organized enough to pre-plan calories again. I made it 5 out of 7 days to the Rec Center.
07/08: 189.4
07/09: 191.4 - A hungry day. High sodium.
07/10: 190.7 - Zumba day and took the kids to the pool for an hour before heading to work which ended up being a major cleaning day. Mammogram of my remaining breast was all clear on Friday! My doctor warned me to watch for Lymphedema symptoms, as she thought she felt some swelling in my left arm. Going to have to update my old knowledge on this issue.7 -
@deepwoodslady - I am so sorry to hear about your Covid results. It seems to be all around here too. Wishing you well as you rest.3
