    Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.

    Height: 5'4"
    Age: 45
    January Starting Weight: 194.7
    February Starting Weight: 196.1
    March Starting Weight: 189.8
    April Starting Weight: 187.0
    May Starting Weight: 185.8
    June Starting Weight:
    July Starting Weight: 190.7
    August Starting Weight: 190.1

    Goals: Plan and Log all food, Quit sugary drinks, Manage midnight eating, increase gym time, stretch.

    08/01: 190.1 - Mindful midnight eating.
    08/02: 188.7 - Went swimming. Limited my iced tea/lemonade consumption to 1 glass at work.
    08/03: 190.1 - Later dinner with family, heavy carbs in that meal, stress ate before bed. Sigh.
    08/04: 188.6 - Stayed within my calories.
    08/05: 190.0 - Came home from busy day at work to dinner made by my hubby. I thought I could "guestimate" the calories since I was starving, but once I went back and entered everything that was on that dish, I was way over calories.
    08/06: 190.5 - Still combating late night hunger/cravings.
    08/07: 190.5 - Zumba day. It was a lot of fun, but my left hip isn't having fun today. Lol!
    08/08: 190.7 - Had a sugary drink at work again but only ate roasted veggies when I came home late.
    08/09: 189.8 - Working hard at work.
    08/10: 189.6 - Did not overindulge at dinner.
    08/11: 188.6 - Day off and did well staying in calorie range.
    08/12: 191.3 - This was a doctor's office morning weight. is my scale a few pounds off???
    08/13: 190.5 - I woke up to this number, so maybe it is my weight that is up and not the scale.

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

    08/12-197.8-(Trend Weight 199.4)- Eating was not very good yesterday with daughter and grandson here for the weekend. Homemade chocolate banana walnut muffins and real 2% milk. I’m surprised to see a drop. I stuck to plan on meals but there was no room for that hefty snack! Blood pressure is still running way to low with the average being about 82/53 and pulse still running a bit high. It’s in the mid 90’s but should be much lower due to the lopresser medication I’m on. Watching it carefully but felt okay yesterday. Glucose is still much too high and the muffins didn’t make things any better. Staying away from them today! I have my reunion dinner tomorrow at a buffet. I’m going to try to eat like a lady tomorrow.

    08/13-198.4-(Trend Weight 199.3)- My daughter brought home Thai food from out of town. Only ate half but I retain water easier than ever these days. Reunion dinner with friends today out of town. Scale will be up again tomorrow, especially from the drive/sitting. The food won’t help either but I’ll be extra careful on Sunday. I want to stay in Onederland.

    I have been on MFP since October 2018.
    I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
    Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
    I gained 0.6 last month

    Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
    Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
    Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
    Thursday August 04 - 138.8 - Going to keep it very light for the next couple of days before my company arrives. He is a chef and I expect to be eating more (and richer) food than usual starting Saturday for 8 days
    Friday August 05 - 139.9 - Quite surprised at this jump up, I had a very good day exercise and food wise. Going to try to take it in stride, actually feeling lean this morning.
    Saturday August 05 - 138.1 - That was the last of being "good" for the next 8 days. I am going to try not to be rude and sit at the kitchen table at my laptop reading and writing into these forums while I have company (in a couple more hours from now). I will be logging and weighing, just not sure if I will make it on here or not.
    Sunday August 06 - 136.2
    Monday August 07 - 138.3 - eating amazing meals
    Tuesday August 08 - 138.8 - Surprised (but glad) that it wasn't more, especially since I was up and weighing at 5am. Getting stuff done before my company wakes up : - )
    Wednesday August 09 - 139.8 - Really not too bad considering the rich food that I have been eating
    Thursday August 10 -
    Friday August 11 - 139.8
    Saturday August 12 - 139.8 - Wow, usually my weight fluctuates like crazy, but staying at the same number is cool, especially after eating so very well all week with my Chef friend here whipping up all sorts of rich foods accompanied by wine.

    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.
    August Start Weight 169.4 lbs.

    August Goals: Running 3 x per week, Body Strength Workouts, Mindful Way of Eating, Daily Accountability

    August 01: 169.4 Stuck at this exact number for like 5 days, I'm patient, eventually it will drop and reflect the work I am putting in. Going to resume running today for the 1st time in almost 1 month (wasn't able to run most of July due to Covid/Covid recovery), will be interesting to see where my running fitness is.
    August 02: 169.2 Successful day yesterday! Went on a short run, felt good, but will need to slowly build back up my mileage to where it was + did a full body endurance workout with weights.
    August 03: 168.9 Yesterday was a Yogalates workout + a walk. Dinner was a bit heavier (calories still within my range), so pleased to see a loss today on the scale!

Sadly, I have dipped out of Onederland but I will work on that today. Especially since I see a new dr. tomorrow (endocrinologist) for my diabetes. I guess my family dr who has been managing it has simply given up and I don’t blame her.

    My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
    MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
    July end weight: 130.0
    July results: +1.4
    August goal: maintenance of 128-132

    My goal this month is to maintain weight as well as increase activity. I will be moving at some point this month so I will be doing a lot of packing. Have been waiting for a definite start date on a new job, but they are still going through the process of doing background checks and such. I currently work for the State and have been accepted for another position with the State. Unfortunately, they won't just open my personnel file and retrieve the information they already have, they are doing it all over again from scratch. It has been over a month since they began. It's very frustrating. Anyway, somehow I am hoping to find time to increase workouts/walks while packing and preparing for a wedding.
