So this week I made meal prep dinners for myself for work. I am a nurse so I work 12 hour shifts (10a-10p). I use to try to eat something but work come home and eat again usually it was more processed type food that I would gravitate towards. Not really because I was hungry but it was my habit/ coping after a long day at work. Now I have pre made and froze 3 different meals. I entered all the info into MFP recipe section and named the meals for ease of finding/ tracking. The next thing is I have a “sweet snack” basket in the pantry. When I get home, I enjoy a small piece of dark chocolate from my basket and then out of the kitchen. I am sharing this because I am proud of myself for the process I am making. This is just one of the ways I am moving myself into a healthier lifestyle.
Hope everyone is having a great week!9 -

I'm a bit disappointed about this one, but I can explain it fairly easily as I have been exercising for about 5 hours per day, eating more sodium than usual, and drinking less water than usual for the past three days. I'd imagine the weight will go back down by one week from now.5 -

Finally starting to loose the weight!!!!!!7 -
I revised my goal again, since it seems likely that I'd make goal next week otherwise. I'm allowing for a 2 lb water weight increase as I hope to start strength training on Thursdays soon (currently taking it slow and doing only T/Sa due to DOMS and perceived difficulty), and going for at least 1% weight drop per week while in the obese categories.

Total loss for July
I gained a pound this week, so now it looks like I've only lost two tenths of a pound in July. A setback yes. A failure? No way. I'm keeping at it, and I'm thinking again about revising goals.

A little frustrated this morning when I weighed in. Felt I was doing good. I lowered my calories the other day but now I have to follow them.
This week up. I think water weight. Thinking of buying new scales to see the body fat to see if that is the fluctuations.
The bioelectrical impedance analysis scales are neat tools. I have one and use it daily. They are notoriously inaccurate. Mine only has sensors for feet, so it mostly measures my lower body. Better ones have foot pads and handgrips to get a better analysis, but they are still pretty poor. What they can do is show trends over time even if the number it shows isn't accurate. That's as long as you keep using the same device over time. Mine shows mass (weight), percent fat, percent water, bone density, and BMI. It gives consistent readings if I weigh myself multiple times, but I don't trust the numbers implicitly. I have used other methods, and I actually think it's pretty close.
If you only get on the scale once per week, it's possible that you just happened to catch an "up" day that doesn't represent the true weight of YOU. There's so many things that affect day-to-day weight. Mine can go up several pounds in one day. That's why I weigh every day and use a trending app to smooth out the noise. What I use is a weighted moving average. It is a little better than just a rolling average. I use a rolling average for this challenge, but my main tracking uses the weighted moving average. It recognizes that what the scale says today is more important than what it said ten days ago, but it also knows that the weight I was ten days ago can help estimate my "true" weight. It gives more importance to numbers that are in the more recent past. It's also a great way to track trends. Some days the scale is way UP, and I know I'm feeling bigger, but the trend still says I'm losing. On the other hand, it can take several days of the scale going down before it recognizes that yes, I'm actually losing some weight.
If you're interested in reading more about it, check out The Hackers Diet, especially the section on Signal and Noise.
A bonus is that I stress a LOT LESS on days the scale is up, even when it's up a few days in a row. I know it's not permanent.

If my blood pressure is reading consistenly low 98/52 on average since yesterday, I wonder if I should take my blood pressure medication. I'll google but if anyone has any ideas or knowledge I would love to hear it. I hate to call the doctor yet again.....(new patient here).0

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
Start Weight (from end of June 2022): 202.8
Goal Weight: xxxxx (5 pound loss) 197.8
End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
07/01…..…..202.8 (Trend Weight: 203.0)
07/05…..…..205.0 (Trend Weight: 203.6)
07/12…..…..196.6 (Trend Weight: 201.3)….. So…I tested positive for Covid after I became sick last Thursday. Triple vaccinated so the symptoms are dizzy, weakness, occasional fever, tons of coughing producing phlegm, fatigue. Could be worse but the coughing does make the throat pretty sore. It has not affected my appetite, my hunger level or my cravings. I have been watching every bite I eat and it is so much easier with no outside influences. No holiday. No social gatherings. No grocery store or dollar store trips. No lunches or dinners out with friends. No traveling. No daughter bringing home goodies. So the weight is coming off, even without much exercise. Ultimately, we all know that what we fork into our pieholes is up to us and no one else is to blame. Clearly, social times are my weakness and I need to learn to buckle up buttercup and not fold into so many temptations. When I log faithfully, I am reminded that portion control is a huge part of this equation. It needs to be front and center when I am faced with social situations that involve food.
07/19…..200.6 (Trend Weight: 200.3)….. My weight dropped drastically and quickly after the Covid diagnosis even though my appetite was not affected and I was eating my usual 1400 calories per plan. I just wasn’t getting in the exercise or movement due to severe Covid fatigue, and yet my body dropped weight, presumably fighting the virus. Since I have gotten better, my weight has steadily climbed even though I’ve remained within the 1400 calories and added in exercise and movement again. So disheartening, but I’ve got to trust the process. I’m cutting the calories and sticking to plan. I am staying within my carb goal. My macros look great and my glucose numbers are coming down a bit most days. The scale will have to catch back up at some point!
07/26…..….. (Trend Weight: xxxxx)…..
07/31…..….. (Trend Weight: xxxxx)…..
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

I wouldn't worry about the weight gain. If you look at the numbers where you were before you got sick and where you are now.....divide the drop between 2 weeks and you'll find that you dropped about 2.5lbs per week. That's a great number. You are correct that the body is correcting itself and you'll be in business now. Good job.6 -
