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
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.5 -
@TinaLeigh67 Thank you!

I am just starting my weight loss journey. I gained a bunch of weight during pregnancy and my little man is almost a year old now. It's time for me to drop the baby weight!
Name: Ashley
Height: 5'7"
Age: 28
July start weight: 202-205lbs
1st goal weight: 190lbs
UGW: 125-130lbs
7/10 - 200.6lbs
Notes: I have been watching the scale bounce around the same 5 lbs for the last 6 months. I kept talking about losing the weight, but also kept procrastinating. I'm biting the bullet now and getting back in shape. I did 40 minutes of plates last night and am making today my official day one.
7/11 - 200.06 -
MFP starting weight: 238.4 (6/17/22)
Goal weight: 175
July Goal: 218
7/01: 225.8
7/02: 225.8
7/03: 224
7/04: 223.6
7/05: 222.6
7/06: 221.4
7/07: 221.4
7/08: 222.8 (This was a tricky one. I basically had a "maintenance" calorie day, no deficit, but no surplus and wow).
7/09: 222.6
7/10: 222.2
7/11: 220.6
I'm losing weight faster than I normally would here for a couple of reasons:
1) I'm still in the "beginning" stages of this plan
2) For whatever reason, there are the occasional days where I'm satiated, despite a 1000 calorie surplus. My body just playing tricks on me for a bit.6 -

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 : - (
Start weight this month: 138.6
EW:4 -
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!

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

07/09.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 202.9)…..
07/10.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 202.5)….. Watched calories carefully since I’m not getting in a lot of movement or exercise with this Covid virus. Appetite is good. I can still taste and smell. Very tired, not sleeping well and the worst part is the phlegm that causes such coughing. Throat getting rough . Feels more like pneumonia than anything, but I’ll wait and see how it is after day 5 is over. It’s far to a hospital for X-rays. Weight still coming down. I’m really trying to work on it. Spacing my meals out and leaving enough calories for a snack is key.
07/11.…..195.6…..(Trend Weight 201.8)….. I went over calories in the red by 45 calories last night for the day, so before closing out I did some mild exercise that would not greatly affect my covid symptoms. I did a 6 minute slow walk around my rural back yard and then I did some stretching inside so I could get back in the green. I’m following my diet very well. Scale is catching up to efforts I think. No waterpill yesterday but still a drop. It’s funny……you get Covid and EVERYONE runs for the hills (as they should). But without all that influence, no daughter bringing home treats, no friend inviting you to dinner, no travel that includes restaurants, no holiday meals or social invites, no shopping for treats for grandson that you poke at too, etc. etc. it’s amazing how much faster you lose weight. If I had no social life…….. well, no, that would not be better I suppose. Anyway, clearly I’ve learned the meal prep, planning secrets, etc. Clearly I’ve learned what’s expected of me. It’s my response to the holidays, the social gatherings, etc. that are my weakness. I am stronger than I think when I’m locked in a box full of food and no one is here, but knowledge is power and I know I need to be just as strong when I’m with people who eat, eat eat.

It's Paxlovid. It has to be started before day 5 of symptoms. I did a quick google search and my state had on online system, just entered a little information about my symptoms, age etc..and within 30 minutes had a video call with a nurse practitioner who approved the prescription, called into my pharmacy and I had it within a couple of hours. But if your state doesn't have that, any doctor should be able to prescribe it as well. Hope you feel better soon!2 -

@mthomas0228 Can you share name of med? I could really use some help here. Covid positive here and I Can't shake the bad cough and phelgm!
It's Paxlovid. It has to be started before day 5 of symptoms. I did a quick google search and my state had on online system, just entered a little information about my symptoms, age etc..and within 30 minutes had a video call with a nurse practitioner who approved the prescription, called into my pharmacy and I had it within a couple of hours. But if your state doesn't have that, any doctor should be able to prescribe it as well. Hope you feel better soon!
@mthomas0228 Thanks for the info. I may have passed the window as my symptoms started on Thursday. I did put in a call to my PCP but didn't get a call back yesterday.1 -
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!

07/10.…..198.4…..(Trend Weight 202.5)…..
07/11.…..195.6…..(Trend Weight 201.8)….. I went over calories in the red by 45 calories last night for the day, so before closing out I did some mild exercise that would not greatly affect my covid symptoms. I did a 6 minute slow walk around my rural back yard and then I did some stretching inside so I could get back in the green. I’m following my diet very well. Scale is catching up to efforts I think. No waterpill yesterday but still a drop. It’s funny……you get Covid and EVERYONE runs for the hills (as they should). But without all that influence, no daughter bringing home treats, no friend inviting you to dinner, no travel that includes restaurants, no holiday meals or social invites, no shopping for treats for grandson that you poke at too, etc. etc. it’s amazing how much faster you lose weight. If I had no social life…….. well, no, that would not be better I suppose. Anyway, clearly I’ve learned the meal prep, planning secrets, etc. Clearly I’ve learned what’s expected of me. It’s my response to the holidays, the social gatherings, etc. that are my weakness. I am stronger than I think when I’m locked in a box full of food and no one is here, but knowledge is power and I know I need to be just as strong when I’m with people who eat, eat eat.
07/12.…..196.6…..(Trend Weight 201.3 )….. No reason for the gain whatsoever except possibly sodium. Yesterday I decided to trade out my fiber count for sodium count on my MFP diary and boy was it an eye opener! I didn’t realize how much sodium is in things. Mine was way over and the main culprit was cottage cheese? Yikes….So there may be some retention today showing up. I may try an at-home test this evening to see if I still test positive for Covid. I have been sick for 5 full days including day 0 (Thursday). Still getting some phlegm but a lot less coughing. Overall, feeling a bit better, just a bit weak and dizzy at times still. Hard to tell the difference between the actual Covid right now, and the body that is fighting to get back to normal. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and doing things. I’ve just got to stay on target and not let the social stuff sway me. Don’t buckle Donna! It’s always YOU who decides what you poke into your piehole!

I am just starting my weight loss journey. I gained a bunch of weight during pregnancy and my little man is almost a year old now. It's time for me to drop the baby weight!
Name: Ashley
Height: 5'7"
Age: 28
July start weight: 202-205lbs
1st goal weight: 190lbs
UGW: 125-130lbs
7/10 - 200.6lbs
Notes: I have been watching the scale bounce around the same 5 lbs for the last 6 months. I kept talking about losing the weight, but also kept procrastinating. I'm biting the bullet now and getting back in shape. I did 40 minutes of plates last night and am making today my official day one.
7/11 - 200.0
7/12 - 201.8
Notes: I didn't weigh in first thing this morning and hubby made breakfast. I'm not convinced that explains all of the weight gain, but we'll see.6 -
