    Sorry about your car!

    @deepwoodslady
    I like the WW portable, since it will read the same where ever I put it. I ordered it from Amazon.

    Thank you! Fortunately it is minor damage. Just waiting to see how it affects the insurance premium.

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

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/13-197.0-(Trend Weight 200.8)-

    07/14-197.4-(Trend Weight 200.5)- Scale (only 1 yr old) with new batteries (2 weeks ago but admittedly cheap ones) decided to go bonkers today. I must have weighed 18 times. If I lean forward enough I could weigh 195.X . If I move the scale to a whole different room, I could weigh 200.4 . Most of the weights were in the 197’s. That feels most right to me because I ate right up to my 1400 calories yesterday but my final food was at 2:00 am when I was starving and feeling weak. Luckily I had calories to spare. In case I decide on a new scale sometime soon, does anyone have a good recommendation?

    07/15-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.3)- Okay, what’s going on??? Scale did not seem wonky today. Is it the healing from Covid? Still testing with one solid line and one very faint line. Feeling so much better! I have been CONSISTENLY a perfect dieter (lately). Hitting macros perfectly. Staying under on calorie and carbs. Glucose has really improved over this past week of following the eating plan. I’ve even increased the exercise after feeling better (and not having handymen here all day). Last night I danced to 5 songs (23 minutes) last night! The only other thing I can think of is that I’ve been trying to do some fasting overnight/morning and it’s pushing my meals out much later than usual. Dinner has been really late the last few nights. I’ll try to readjust it all and see what happens. I am still a bit worried about my scale, it was crazy yesterday and I don’t think I got the same reading twice. However, today, it seemed back to normal. I will keep watching that too. Handymen will be back today, but I’ll still try to fit in some movement. Of course, I will wear my continue wearing my mask during any direct contact for a few more days. My trend weight is still going down, I’ll take it!

    07/16-198.8-(Trend Weight 200.1)- This is getting scary. Another huge jump up on the scale. Again, I stayed under calorie, under carb, met my macros wonderfully. I fit in 50 minutes of walking including inclines in two sets and I did some gardening and plant transplanting. I continued to log every bite. The only negative is that dinner was very late (after 11:00 pm) due to an unexpected phone call from an old friend in Tennessee. Scale was consistent with several weigh-ins. I don’t get it. I understand I am healing from Covid. I guess my weight drops were due to sickness, even though my appetite was fine and I at all my calories and carbs then too, even in the worst of the illness. Interestingly, my fat percentage has been staying the exact same and my trend weight continues to go down, even after several days of “gains”. Hmmm…..

    Height 5'4" Age:52
    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.
    7/10: 173.3 Took my 3rd Covid test today, after 2 negatives the 3rd one came back positive.
    7/11: 172.6 Was able to do a tele-visit with a nurse practitioner yesterday through my state's board of health and got approved for a prescription for a Covid medicine and was able to receive it same day. Supposed to make a world of difference in recovery, hope so!
    7/12: 172.6 I wouldn't say I am feeling "better" but more feeling "not as bad". Does that make sense, lol!
    7/13: DNW
    7/14: 172.7 It's been a week since any activity/workout...going to try a slow, short walk today (I won't be near anyone). Symptom wise, still congested, coughing, head pain, and weak feeling. I am trying to focus on the fact that I AM feeling better and not getting in my head, wondering about if I have lost the strength/fitness I had before C19 and will need to rebuild from scratch or if I just need to fully recover and I will be able to pick-up where I was before. Reality is probably somewhere in between.
    7/15: 172.6 Yesterday's walk was super sloooow but felt okay. Going on another walk today and maybe some yoga if my headache will allow it. Today is my last dose of the C19 meds & last day of required quarantine. Will re-test again tomorrow.
    7/16: 172.2 Went on a walk again yesterday & was a little faster than the day before, slowly my energy is returning. Planning a longer walk today to work on endurance.

    @TinaLeigh67 so sorry to hear about the car. We had a drunk idiot kick the side of our car the other night.. hard not to feel frustrated when our possessions get damaged.

    @mthomas0228 glad to hear you're coming out the other side.. take it easy

    @deepwoodslady Don't get discouraged Donna.. this has been a lovely streak in Onderland, consistent tracking, exercise.. you have so much to feel great about. Keep up the great work

    Hello again, everyone!!

    My name is Ana.
    I've struggled with body dysmorphia off and on throughout my life, almost always feeling very fat. There are pictures of me that prove me right, but there are others that prove me wrong.
    2009 was the year in which I felt better about my physical appearance but in 2011, after my husband passed away I reached my highest weight (180 lbs). By 2018 I had worked my way to 140lbs and maintained it for 2 years. I was feeling very good even though I still had to battle with negative thoughts and avoided looking at myself in the mirror. Last year I learned that the pandemic and depression related to my father's death brought me back up to 156.4 lbs.
    I gave myself a year to work on my health and even though I am not where I hoped to be, I am satisfied with my efforts. For the next year I will work on maintaining a fitness schedule and on relating to food in different ways... I want to eat to live instead of live for eating. Often times I worry I'll gain again, but it's been a month and so far it seems like I'm doing ok. Wish me luck!

    07/02 131 (-0.2) I was very scared because I was 4lbs heavier at the Dr's office a few days ago. I talked to my Dr and she suggested medication to get my intestines back on track and I am hoping to be off meds in a few months, which will resolve some of the problem.

    07/9: 133.2 (+2.2) Not bad. Weight fluctuates, especially close to TOM. On top of that, I've been eating 4th of July leftover all week 😅
    I've tried to be careful, though and even though I don't like the gain, I'm feeling OK. I've been eating my recommended amount of calories for 3 weeks and is awesome! Once I forced myself to eat and went pass the fear of gaining weight, my life is much more enjoyable.

    07/16: 130.5 (-2.7) I've planned my meals and somehow I seem to end at 1200-1300 kcal which allows me to give myself permission to have treats here and there almost every day. I am not very pleased with that. I'd rather eat those calories in nutrient dense food than treats, but that's how this week went about... Hoping the treats don't sneak on me in the upcoming weeks since vacation time is just around the corner.
    Still, super happy so far with being able to maintain my weight for the past month!

    Sending love to everyone
    💖
    -A

    Goals for the week:
    1. Self-love and compassion
    2. Balance my macros
    3. Increase water intake
    4. Listen to my satiety cues
    5. Sleep at least 7 hrs every night
    6. Careful with treats
    7. Morning exercise or walk 5x/week

    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.
    7/10: 173.3 Took my 3rd Covid test today, after 2 negatives the 3rd one came back positive.
    7/11: 172.6 Was able to do a tele-visit with a nurse practitioner yesterday through my state's board of health and got approved for a prescription for a Covid medicine and was able to receive it same day. Supposed to make a world of difference in recovery, hope so!
    7/12: 172.6 I wouldn't say I am feeling "better" but more feeling "not as bad". Does that make sense, lol!
    7/13: DNW
    7/14: 172.7 It's been a week since any activity/workout...going to try a slow, short walk today (I won't be near anyone). Symptom wise, still congested, coughing, head pain, and weak feeling. I am trying to focus on the fact that I AM feeling better and not getting in my head, wondering about if I have lost the strength/fitness I had before C19 and will need to rebuild from scratch or if I just need to fully recover and I will be able to pick-up where I was before. Reality is probably somewhere in between.
    7/15: 172.6 Yesterday's walk was super sloooow but felt okay. Going on another walk today and maybe some yoga if my headache will allow it. Today is my last dose of the C19 meds & last day of required quarantine. Will re-test again tomorrow.
    7/16: 172.2 Went on a walk again yesterday & was a little faster than the day before, slowly my energy is returning. Planning a longer walk today to work on endurance.
    7/17: 171.7 Doubled my walking distance yesterday and was back to my normal pace. By yesterday evening felt a good bit of my energy return, too. Tested negative today, YAY! but sill dealing with the cough, headache, and congestion, feel like it will be a bit before I can start running again.

    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!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    Starting Weight (from July 1st): 202.8
    Goal: 197.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/13-197.0-(Trend Weight 200.8)-
    07/14-197.4-(Trend Weight 200.5)-

    07/15-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.3)- Okay, what’s going on??? Scale did not seem wonky today. Is it the healing from Covid? Still testing with one solid line and one very faint line. Feeling so much better! I have been CONSISTENLY a perfect dieter (lately). Hitting macros perfectly. Staying under on calorie and carbs. Glucose has really improved over this past week of following the eating plan. I’ve even increased the exercise after feeling better (and not having handymen here all day). Last night I danced to 5 songs (23 minutes) last night! The only other thing I can think of is that I’ve been trying to do some fasting overnight/morning and it’s pushing my meals out much later than usual. Dinner has been really late the last few nights. I’ll try to readjust it all and see what happens. I am still a bit worried about my scale, it was crazy yesterday and I don’t think I got the same reading twice. However, today, it seemed back to normal. I will keep watching that too. Handymen will be back today, but I’ll still try to fit in some movement. Of course, I will wear my continue wearing my mask during any direct contact for a few more days. My trend weight is still going down, I’ll take it!

    07/16-198.8-(Trend Weight 200.1)- This is getting scary. Another huge jump up on the scale. Again, I stayed under calorie, under carb, met my macros wonderfully. I fit in 50 minutes of walking including inclines in two sets and I did some gardening and plant transplanting. I continued to log every bite. The only negative is that dinner was very late (after 11:00 pm) due to an unexpected phone call from an old friend in Tennessee. Scale was consistent with several weigh-ins. I don’t get it. I understand I am healing from Covid. I guess my weight drops were due to sickness, even though my appetite was fine and I at all my calories and carbs then too, even in the worst of the illness. Interestingly, my fat percentage has been staying the exact same and my trend weight continues to go down, even after several days of “gains”. Hmmm…..

    07/17-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I couldn’t bare to see another unwarranted gain today and it’s there, I can feel it. Taking a day off the scale and hoping it will turn around. Sticking to the plan.

    @TinaLeigh67 so sorry to hear about the car. We had a drunk idiot kick the side of our car the other night.. hard not to feel frustrated when our possessions get damaged.

    @mthomas0228 glad to hear you're coming out the other side.. take it easy

    @deepwoodslady Don't get discouraged Donna.. this has been a lovely streak in Onderland, consistent tracking, exercise.. you have so much to feel great about. Keep up the great work

    Thank you! Definitely taking it easy while trying to get back to normal.

    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.
    Sunday July 10 - 138.8 - Taking the gain in stride.
    Monday July 11 - 141.0 - I don't get it : - (
    Tuesday July 12 - 139.8 - Lots of sweating in the yard after work yesterday.
    Wednesday July 13 - 138.6 - Back to this month's start weight again. Too scary to climb up into the 140s, which was my weight 2 years ago.
    Thursday July 14 - 139.5 - I weighed at 4am, so am okay with the rise.
    Friday July 15 - 139.2 - I would rather it had been lower heading into the weekend, but not stressing.
    Saturday July 16 - 140.2 - One pound gain. I take a break from salad or lean meat and veg on the weekends. Weight goes up, but to be sustainable long term I have to have some fun foods. I do keep it withing calorie range.
    Sunday July 17 - 140.7 - I am usually "good" all week and allow myself a few indulgences on weekends. This past week could have been better, I will try harder this coming week including today.

    Start weight this month: 138.6

    July goal - 190

    7/4 - 194.8
    7/5 DNW. Currently pouring outside (which is very much needed) so will likely do a treadmill walk
    7/15 - 196.8
    7/16 - 196.8
    7/17 - 196.6


    I've been MIA again...I broke my 'habit' of daily logging so I am going to focus on that. I've been on the scale, mostly just to roll my eyes at the lack of change, I just haven't gotten on here. If you see me MIA again, feel free to shoot me a message and yell at me!!

    I have a business trip the first week of August and again at the middle of October, so I really want to fit into my work attire! Unfortunately I pulled a muscle in my left hip last week, and the fibula of my right leg (just above the ankle) shoots pain, so ramping up exercise isn't an option. My leg has been bothering me for months but I've put off a trip to the dr for xrays. Pretty sure it's a minor fracture but I've been ignoring it...apparently I favor avoidance. But babying that leg puts pressure on my left, so that contributed to the muscle pull on that leg. You've think that at 52 years old I'd know better, but obviously not. I really don't want to go to Orlando in August with a boot but I know that I really do need to get xrays and start healing that right leg. Since I can't exercise anyway due to the left hip, might as well go all the way. Geesh. Feel free to comment, yell at me, encourage me, whatever. Typing it out though does make me realize how ridiculous I'm being, and how that my ignoring it since APRIL has landed me exactly where I am today. Gotta put on my big girl panties and take care of myself.

    Please hold me to it - make sure I report tomorrow (Monday) that I made a dr appointment for my lower fibula. Thanks.

    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
    7/09: DNW
    7/10: DNW a bit of indulging this weekend so the scale will probably show that tomorrow
    7/11: 131.8 (129.6 trend) time to get the tracking going and keep from gaining any more. I have been enjoying the solid food though.
    7/12: 131.2 (129.8 trend) got in the habit of snacking to keep calories up. Having a hard time stopping
    7/13: 129.0 (129.7 trend)
    7/14: 128.0 (129.5 trend) didn't eat much yesterday. Had several doctors appointments so it was just grab a piece of fruit and a protein drink to have in-between. Then my car got hit in a parking lot between first and second appointment. GRRRRR. Not what I needed! Ended up being so frazzled, that I forgot to stop at the lab and get my bloodwork drawn. Fortunately no one was hurt and the damage was fairly minimal. So glad I have an old car and a few dings don't look too out of place :D Car is to be handed down to my teenage son next year, so I told him I was breaking it in for him. He didn't find it funny
    7/15: 128.0 (129.3 trend) not sure how it stayed here after my dinner of puff corn and ice cream
    7/16: DNW
    7/17: DNW
    7/18: 130.8 (129.8 trend) moved my daughter home from college research program. Did not watch my food intake and it showed on the scale this morning. She and I discussed getting a little walking in this week so I'm hoping the numbers start dropping. A lot of changes coming up and I need to stay focused. Starting a new job soon, getting married, getting my teenage son set up in a new school, and moving. Will be a challenge to not stress eat. Need to make a conscious effort to stay on track.
