    Hello my name is Darlene. My husband and I retired in 2020, but he returned to work in January. I thought it was the perfect time for me to put me first for a change, and decided to make 2023 the year that I take care of me. I vowed lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. There is a linear trail in my backyard that I had thought about completing for a long time - it runs 60 plus miles in Connecticut. I started the journey on January first and completed it on February 22 - 62 miles (a few miles at a time). With that completed, March was a hard month - I need something else to keep me motivated, so I thought let's give a challenge on myfitnesspal a try. Signed up for a couple of others - am hoping they keep me accountable!

    My goals for April: 4 pound loss
    Log Consistently
    Log 500 active minutes on fitbit per week
    Read 1/2 hour a day

    January weight lost: 9 pounds
    February weight lost: 5 pounds
    March weight lost: 5 pounds to date

    Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back!

    My goal for April is to lose those 4 pounds and walking 3 days a week.

    OSW: 250 lbs
    April 1: 205.1 lbs
    April goal: 201 lbs

    4/1: 205.1

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan 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 March 1st): 191.6 (I am re-doing my March starting weight and goals due to health issues in March.
    Goal: 186.6 (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.


    04/01-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I woke up today in quite a depressed state. I am bothered that my normal routine has been so very disrupted. I realized I have not even gotten dressed since Thur morn when I had to travel. I am still bloated and am quite sure I have put on a few pounds while going through all of this medical drama. Even with the medication change, my bp was down way too low again yesterday and I couldn’t get any fitness in because of it. Food is not the answer and does not solve the problems! I ate things I shouldn’t have mixed in with good pre-planned choices but the in-betweens threw me out of plan. I am a mess. I will work on myself today though it is babysitting day again. That will not leave much time for me but I’ll do my best. Tomorrow (Sunday) is a rare free day this week. No babysitting and no drs appointments. Tomorrow I can really focus. I’ll be back to travel on Monday. In the meantime, I am logging my food and going to youtube to find some positive affirmations that I can listen to (and repeat). I really need them today.

    My name is Paula Jones and I am fed up! I am a mother of 3 kids and married to my husband who I’ve been with since September of 2000. I used to be EXTREMELY fit since my time spent serving our country in the US Army. I am now an obese 100% service disabled veteran experiencing a variety of health related issues primarily resulting from my weight and I have finally reached a point where I can’t take it anymore so I am taking a firm stand. I WILL lose and am losing this weight since I started going at my goals hard Feb 9. I have seen favorable results so far with my current strategy which is a combination of Noom, GOLO, and Intermittent Fasting (IF) with revolutionary changes being made to how I eat, what I eat, and why I eat. I weigh myself every day and tape various locations of my body once a week to help hold myself accountable and establish a way to thoroughly measure my progress. I start including physical exercise today and will be going to the gym to start up some cardio at the very least. Let’s do this! Huah!

    Goals for April:
    Workout cardio at least 3x/week (min 20 min) 🦵🏾🫀🏃🏾‍♀️
    Strength training at least 3x/week
    (min 20 min) 🦾🏋🏾
    Reduce sugar intake to 6 g/day 🦷👩🏾‍🍳
    Start meditating again more at least every other day for a minimum of 10 min/session 💆🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️

    Start weight: 245.2 lbs
    Goal weight: 195 lbs
    April goal weight: 235.2 lbs

    February end weight: 258.2 lbs (6 lbs lost)
    March end weight: 245.8 lbs (12.4 lbs lost)

    April 🪺🌳💐🌞🌧️

    1 - 245.2 lbs
    2 - 247.4 lbs 😱 😵‍💫
