JANUARY 2023 DAILY WEIGH IN AND LOGGING CHALLENGE!!!!!

shmmm3

January 1: 135.8
January 17: 133.8
January 22: 137.8
January 23: 137.8
January 24: 133.8 This must go down this week. 2 pounds is not nothing for this month of trying to stop gaining weight and lose weight but I haven't been able to practice anything consistently.
January 25: 131.8 Yay! 5 more days. I know that if I get it under 130 it'll definitely be water weight but lowest water weight is still a sign that I've lost fat.
January 26: 132.4 More hydrated and probably water retention from strength training yesterday.

Goal for January 31: 130.

01/25-197.6-(Trend Weight 197.9)- My A1C was 10 point something at the drs yesterday. After I heard the number 10 I just couldn’t hear anything else for a few moments. I knew it would be worse after the holidays and all! I’ve got a lot of work to do. I got my old treadmill back last night from the folks who bought my house 2 years ago. They saw me looking for one on facebook and even brought it to me. My cardiac rehab therapists are going to be very happy.


01/26-196.8-(Trend Weight 197.9)- In two weeks they are changing my cardiac rehab days from Mon/Wed to Tue/Thur. I’m not real happy about that due to lots of previously made appointments coming up on those days. Also, the whole town seems to have senior discounts (30%) all over the place on Wednesdays only. I’ll be missing that for sure! Yesterday was a very good eating day. I would say great but I did try something not on my pre-logged food. It was small so I dropped off one of my snacks to make up for it and still had pretty good macros afterall, (over by 5 on carbs tho). Nice to still see a loss. Got some exercise in during the rehab. Broke a sweat and my EKG showed good. I decided to look up my BMI future after reading a post from someone else on another challenge. I will finally (barely) dip into the overweight category at exactly 180 pounds. That is certainly another goal to achieve.

@deepwoodslady Happy 5 year MFP anniversary!

swimmom_1

My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days.
Been MIA for a few months but still logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21.

Unfortunately lost my mojo and gained a lot back but not all Thank God! Need to get back on track and focused. I bought a NEW to me, gently used, Commercial PreCor EFX 835 Elliptical. It was delivered the beginning of November, as others here know I wore my previous 10+ year old one out from my extensive workouts. Stopped using it mid November to get my Christmas shopping done earlier than my norm. I was planning to start back up a week ago but had a GI bug and very weak. I restarted today but very slow at 45 minutes and 3 miles compared to my 3 hour historical workout sessions. I will MAYBE workup to it again.

Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
9/14/20-255 lbs
5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
4/6/22- 147.6 lbs (107.4 lbs lost) I did NOT have a surgery. Did Keto.

1/9/23- 204.4 lbs elliptical 46 minutes
1/10/22-201.6 lbs elliptical 47 minutes
1/11/22-203.6 lbs Not sure why the uptick. I stayed on track yesterday with my carbs/calories. I worked today. For new people I don't workout on work days. I'm a RN and work long days. That's why I used to do long elliptical sessions on my days off. To makeup for my work days. I work 4 days/week, 10+ hours.
1/12/23-203.8 lbs work day
1/13/22-204.6 lbs work day
1/14/22-205.4 lbs on call today, My Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes straight through this AM!!! 8.5 miles. Getting back up to my long sessions. Maybe I wasn't out of Cardiovascular endurance, as I thought. The previous sessions I wore a short sleeve shirt instead of a tank top as I did today again. (It's chilly in my basement.) Even though I had a fan on, maybe I just got to warm, which wore me down.
1/15/22-202.4 lbs Elliptical Interval setting, 120 minutes, 8.1 miles
1/16/23-202.2 lbs work day
1/17/23-200.4 lbs work day
1/18/23-200.4 lbs work day
1/19/23-199.4 lbs Down 14 lbs since 1/1/23. Finally back to Onederland!!!! Elliptical Interval setting 150 minutes for 9.7 miles. Getting my motivation back, Thank you God!
1/20/23-200.2 lbs Ugh! Had Ham last night and probably the next couple too. :-( Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.92 miles.

1/21/23-203.4 lbs. Work day, Double Ugh! The HAM! I stayed under calories. So maybe in a few days I'll have a whoosh, I hope. I Just need to stay on track. It's easier to do that when you see progress on the scale going down instead of up. But I KNOW it is the sodium. Off tomorrow so I'll have an elliptical session.
1/22/23-200.2 lbs Off today. Elliptical Interval setting 150 minute session for 10.05 miles. Can't say enough how much I Love my new Elliptical!!!
1/23/23-200.2 lbs Work day Most likely won't get back on my elliptical till Friday. I work M-Th this week.
1/24/23-203.2 lbs Work day
1/25/23-203.2 lbs Work day

1/26/23-205.8 lbs Ugh! Work day Off Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, I am from Michigan. This is my second time on MFP. I lost 55 pounds in 2016, over the years gained it all back plus some. I started again last March with a goal to lose 110 pounds. I’ve lost 45 and would like to lose 45 more this year. It’s a new month and a new year! My goal this month is to lose 3 pounds.

Well I can either look at this as “there’s no way I’m gonna lose another 1.5 pounds in 12 days” or can look at it like “I’m halfway to my weight loss goal for the month.” Umm…ask me later 😉
1/20: 202.7
This is nice, this gives me hope.

I had a stressful doctor’s appointment and came home and tried to eat my emotions, never a good idea.

01/26-196.8-(Trend Weight 197.9)- In two weeks they are changing my cardiac rehab days from Mon/Wed to Tue/Thur. I’m not real happy about that due to lots of previously made appointments coming up on those days. Also, the whole town seems to have senior discounts (30%) all over the place on Wednesdays only. I’ll be missing that for sure! Yesterday was a very good eating day. I would say great but I did try something not on my pre-logged food. It was small so I dropped off one of my snacks to make up for it and still had pretty good macros afterall, (over by 5 on carbs tho). Nice to still see a loss. Got some exercise in during the rehab. Broke a sweat and my EKG showed good. I decided to look up my BMI future after reading a post from someone else on another challenge. I will finally (barely) dip into the overweight category at exactly 180 pounds. That is certainly another goal to achieve.

01/27-196.0-(Trend Weight 197.7)- Today shows a nice whoosh after a very good day of diet. I was able to go down to the school yesterday and walk inside for 45 minutes because my daughter works there. That was so nice. They haven’t allowed that since 2019 before the Covid school shut-downs. I plan on doing this a couple of times a week. I will also be rotating in the equipment that has taken over my livingroom. I’m still feeling strong in my resolve. Today is a travel day with a friend who eats too much and is very overweight. She needed a driver. My diet may be off but I will work hard to not undo all my progress. Thanks to everyone who noticed my 5 year anniversary on MFP yesterday. Wow! Where has the time gone?

Happy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.

01/18 - 187.6 - I was not over calories by much but my meals were heavier in carbs.
01/19 - 186.5 - That makes me feel better.
01/20 - 188.6 - Went over calories and carbs for Hubby's homemade Mexican meal.

01/22 - 188.5 - Healthy but heavy in carbs dinner.
01/23 - 190.0 - Ouch. Back to where I began.
01/24 - 189.5 - I planned ahead for Hubby's big dinners by eating very little earlier in the day.

SW: 135.8
Day/Weight/Comment
1/22 137.2 Bloated and retaining water.
1/23 137.2 Been eating cheesecake a lot so today I start clean.
1/24 133.8 Fasted all day yesterday. Today will be very clean and careful not to spike insulin.
1/25 131.8 On track the last 2 days.
1/26 132.4 More hydrated and I did some strength training yesterday.
1/27 131.0 Yoga yesterday. - I expect that if I were to have take-out pizza or the like this would jump back up to 135. But, no matter what the scale is showing, I am waking up with more energy and in a better mood on this diet.

Big win: I haven't had added sugar since the 22nd!
win #2: prebiotics and probiotics at every meal!
win#3: After a dinner I ate an apple for my usual sugary sweet munchies. Only five days no added sugar and I'm already more satisfied with the sweetness of an apple. I'm looking forward to when all the taste buds change (is it after 2 weeks?) and I am more sensitive to sweets in general.

@joans1976 so sorry to hear about your stressful medical appointment.. thinking of you

@deepwoodslady five years.. wow! Amazing
Tomorrow is two years for me.. thanks for being a part of my journey almost the whole time

ashleycarole86

Hello all!
My name is Ashley, 36 years old. Married with no kids, one dog, two cats.
Original start weight: 293 (01/21)
January start weight: 178.2
January goal weight: 170
Ultimate goal weight: Maintain range of 160-165

Jan 1: 178.2 (Happy New Year! We went out with friends last night and had a little too much fun. Slow moving today. Nevertheless, I have goals to accomplish, so I'm focused on what I want to achieve today.)
Jan 2: 179.8 (All goals met yesterday including a 7KM walk that pushed me well over my 10K min step goal. Food was tracked, water was drank, did my reading. Today is my last day of vacation before we return to the office so I'm going to enjoy every minute!)
Jan 3: 178.4 (Up early and back to my in office routine today. Yesterday I rode the Peloton, walked, and stayed on track.)
Jan 4: 178.2 (Handled my first day back to the office well. Got my 10K steps and stayed on track.)
Jan 5: 178.8 (I have work lunches out both today and tomorrow that will require good planning. Last night I rode the Peloton and hit all my goals for the day.)
Jan 6: 179.2 (Positive day given that I exceeded 12K steps. However, I was put into many different food situations, and by the end of the day I started to make poor choices.)
Jan 7: 180.8 (Up to go hiking with my husband. Not going too far because we have dinner theatre tonight.)
Jan 8: 180 (Worked out a ton yesterday with a hike and the Peloton because I had the energy. The dinner theatre was good - a lot of good but I made reasonable choices. I have already had a short ride on the Peloton today).

Week 1 - Gained 1.8

Jan 9: 180.4 (Had a very busy day today. Commuted in for a work day in the office, got home a bit later than normal, walked the dog, tag teamed dinner prep with the husband, ate a delicious salmon dinner, and vegged a bit. I leave for a two night business trip tomorrow so that's got me feeling rushed.)
Jan 10: 179 (I travel for business today, flying for a two night overnight stay. I am hoping to do a Peloton ride first thing this morning. If I can fit a workout into the hotel tomorrow I'll be golden.)
Jan 11: DNW (Kept my commitment to myself and hit the hotel gym for a workout before my busy day of meetings started.)
Jan 12: DNW (Home sweet home. Really proud that I started today with another elliptical workout at the hotel. Made good choices again before flying home.)
Jan 13: 176.6
Jan 14: 174.2 (Back home, clearly the hard work on my business trip paid off on the scale, feeling great about that. I am on the road today and it will include a brunch with friends that's already pre-tracked. Nursing my knee that I hurt on the bike on Tuesday.)
Jan 15: 174.6 (Someone in another group suggested Voltaren for my knee which I slathered on before bed last night, so I may try that again today. Focused on walking as my exercise yesterday and the knee is holding up fine. Today we will watch the football game.)

Week 2: Lost 5.4

Jan 16: 175.8 (Productive day at the office today. Got home and already had my 10K steps but the dog needed her walk so I got even more. My husband is doting on me tonight, looking after all the household chores so I have time to read and relax. He's a gem.)
Jan 17: 176.2
Jan 18: 177.8
Jan 19: 176.4
Jan 20: 176.2
Jan 21: 177
Jan 22: 176.6 (Not sure where the week went! My husband travelled for work and I was busy at work. One week from now we'll be in Costa Rica so there's lots to do in the next week as well.)

Week 3: Gained 2

Jan 23: 176 (Busy day at work and felt really hungry on the way home. We have lots to get done before our trip but I'm just happy I'm making time to check in on here!)
Jan 24: 176.6 (Spent time before bed reading and had a really fulfilling sleep. I have lunch with my boss today so I won't have as much time to walk during the day, so I'll have to get some reasonable exercise tonight.)
Jan 25: 179.4 (Definitely overate last night and was feeling bloated and off all day. For team building at work we did indoor skydiving today with pizza afterwards. A fun event and it was nice to be able to participate and not feel like my weight was a barrier.)
Jan 26: 178.2 (Having oatmeal and coffee before I commute in. Last day in the office for weeks! Tomorrow is work from home and then it's vacation time. Meeting a friend at lunch for a walk.)
Jan 27: 176.2 (Well, it's finally here. My last day of work before my 3 week vacation in Costa Rica. There is lots to get done but the end is near!)

1/20/23-200.2 lbs Ugh! Had Ham last night and probably the next couple too. :-( Elliptical Interval setting, 150 minutes for 9.92 miles.
1/21/23-203.4 lbs. Work day, Double Ugh! The HAM! I stayed under calories. So maybe in a few days I'll have a whoosh, I hope. I Just need to stay on track. It's easier to do that when you see progress on the scale going down instead of up. But I KNOW it is the sodium. Off tomorrow so I'll have an elliptical session.

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, I am from Michigan. This is my second time on MFP. I lost 55 pounds in 2016, over the years gained it all back plus some. I started again last March with a goal to lose 110 pounds. I’ve lost 45 and would like to lose 45 more this year. It’s a new month and a new year! My goal this month is to lose 3 pounds.

Well I can either look at this as “there’s no way I’m gonna lose another 1.5 pounds in 12 days” or can look at it like “I’m halfway to my weight loss goal for the month.” Umm…ask me later 😉
1/20: 202.7
This is nice, this gives me hope.
And TGIF!!!
1/21: 203.6

Bodies are so strange! I’ll take the loss though!

You lose a pound overnight, you gain a pound overnight 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a stressful doctor’s appointment and came home and tried to eat my emotions, never a good idea.
1/28: 203.7
Ate my feelings last night and had a salty snack before bed. I will do better today.

01/27-196.0-(Trend Weight 197.7)- Today shows a nice whoosh after a very good day of diet. I was able to go down to the school yesterday and walk inside for 45 minutes because my daughter works there. That was so nice. They haven’t allowed that since 2019 before the Covid school shut-downs. I plan on doing this a couple of times a week. I will also be rotating in the equipment that has taken over my livingroom. I’m still feeling strong in my resolve. Today is a travel day with a friend who eats too much and is very overweight. She needed a driver. My diet may be off but I will work hard to not undo all my progress. Thanks to everyone who noticed my 5 year anniversary on MFP yesterday. Wow! Where has the time gone?

01/28-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.7)- After travel and no medication yesterday I blew it with too many “diet” snacks last night including popcorn I could not afford after a bit of a high carb day. Self-sabotage was in full swing I guess. I was also feeling pretty depressed as I showed up at the school to walk with my oldest DD and they said I needed to fill out their paperwork (that’s new!), get a lanyard badge and we can’t walk until after 4:30. My DD is unable to walk except for directly after school so she had to give it up and we won’t be able to spend that bit of time together. I was so sad about this that I sat in my car when I drove back home for about an hour in my garage. I didn’t even have the strength to get out of the car, I was so burdened. I feel I ruined it for her too since seeing me flagged the secretary at the school. I definitely ate my emotions last night. I can go at 4:30 on some non-travel days so I will be able to walk but she has to stop now.
My youngest Daughter and DGS are here as usual for the weekend and I am babysitting today. I will try to make it a banner day to compensate a bit for last night and hope some of this is the non-medication bloat I get after traveling. I’m really getting tired of the 197 – 200 weight range I seem to be bouncing around in for nearly a year now! 192 would be such a welcome change. Still aiming, however, ultimately for the 180’s so I can cross the 190’s off my list above. Then 179 or lower to get into overweight range. Then goal. I don’t care how long it takes but sooner is better than later with the diabetes issues. Pre-logging today, getting some time on my exercise machines (if DGS will leave me alone for 30 minutes) and flushing with plenty of water today are all part of the plan.

@deepwoodslady I too have been bouncing between 201 and 205 since October 3 and it is very frustrating. I had grandiose plans last August of being in Onederland and on a beach over Christmas. Then everything changed. The fatigue I feel is like nothing I’ve felt before with this illness and it doesn’t help my mental outlook much. The gray skies of winter in Michigan make things hard too. Wanna buy a boat and live on it in the Florida Keys October through March?!? Ha ha!

I admire you for always hanging in there even though you have 2 chronic illnesses to fight and a long ways to travel to get to frequent-and necessary-appointments. I am sorry you were feeling burdened yesterday and I am sending you a big ol’ Michigan hug! ❤️
