    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
    4/2: 205.7
    4/3: 204.8
    4/4: 204.8
    4/5: 206.7
    4/6: 204.8
    4/7: 205.1
    4/8: 205.1
    4/8: 203.8
    4/9: 203.8
    4/10: 203.2
    4/11: 202.5
    4/12: 202.5
    4/13: 202.0
    4/14: 202.0
    4/15: 201.4
    4/16: 201.4

    4/17: 201.4
    The scale flashed a bunch of numbers again this morning, including 199 (😱) but settled on this again. Oh well. Try again tomorrow.

    4/18: 200.6
    Cautiously optimistic. This is usually where my body starts to freak out and say wait I must hold on to every ounce of water and fat, we can’t go below 200! So, I am cautiously optimistic.
    I worked 18 hours straight yesterday and feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

    4/19: 200.6 😑
    4/20: 202.0
    Grrr. This is what my body does. It gets close to 200 and it freaks out. I ate no differently than I have been all month. I WILL make it through this though. No other option.

    Hi everyone I had a good day mostly. I started April at 247.2

    4/19. 248.2 I guess I had to many grapes or water gain. I can return to walking but doc said not to over do it if my knee was hurting to much to stop. But would like me for to continue to try to lose weight. I'm so proud of myself I was wanting to go get pizza this evening so badly but I stayed home and eat veggies and whole wheat crackers and grapes

    Good job on resisting the pizza craving. Listen to your body on the walking...hopefully it cooperates with you. 🙂

    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


    My mini-challenge is to lose 4 pounds between Easter and my birthday. My Easter morning weigh-in was 188.2. I hope to be at 184.2 by May 10th, 2023.



    **************************************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.

    04/19-188.4-(Trend Weight 190.7)- After 3 days of no TMI and 3 days of extreme hunger, I went off the deep end for a bit. I ate back about 50% of my exercise calories and went way over on carbs and sodium though my calories were okay due to the exercise. The worst part is that by night time I was already hungry again anyway so what did I really accomplish? I ended up going to bed hungry anyway (trying to offset the damage)! Bad choices and bad behaviors will never equal good results. The positive side is that every day is a new day to do better. Today I go to my family doctor for yearly overall bloodwork. It’s just the next town over. My doctor suddenly retired so I will be looking for a new one. I don’t think I will stick to her replacement as it will be in the wrong medical system. A new doctor will end up being in another town (and county). Probably where my cardiac rehab had been. It’s going to take time to move my 23 year old medical records over and not get my meds interfered with. Ugh!



    04/20-188.8-(Trend Weight 190.7)- A so-so day with no exercise. At least TMI finally cooperated last night.

    @gomifune Nice job on being so close to your goal for April already! 🥳

    Thanks! I’ve just been sticking to the plan, trying hard to do all the little things every day to keep it moving in the right direction.

    I see that you are going strong this month, congrats!

    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: 175 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 😱 😵‍💫
    3 - 249.3 lbs 👺😵 I turn this around IMMEDIATELY. I’ve been steady losing. Time to tighten up. May have another increase before I see a decrease, but I won’t try to tell the future.
    4 - DNW 😫
    5 - DNW 😰🫣
    6 - 248.0 lbs 😢
    7 - 241.2 lbs 🤔
    8 - 244.2 lbs 🤯😱🤔 What the HECK is going on!? I wonder if the issue is my not being as consistent with the time of day that I weigh myself. I was being diligent with weighing myself pretty immediately after I wake up at 0430.
    9 - 247.4 lbs 😖😤😳
    10 - 246.2 lbs 😏
    11 - DNW
    12 - 248.0 lbs 🥺🤬
    13 - 248.2 lbs 🥺😢😩😓 OK I have had enough!! I am about to head to the gym. I realize my weight tomorrow may be higher due to post workout inflammation, water retention, etc like I have seen in the past, but it settles out in the end and I will in general see a decline. I will have compassion for myself and continue to do other things to track my progress like tape all the various spots on me that I tape. I CAN do this! I WILL do this! I BELIEVE!! I am also considering HIGHLY dropping down to two meals a day instead of three so I can better maintain my eating and fasting hours of my intermittent fasting schedule. IF is where I have historically seen the greatest results. I am ALSO trying to do mindful eating —which makes me drag out how long it takes to eat so I can better acknowledge when I have hit my satiety point, but that causes me to go outside my eating hours during dinner. Dropping to two meals a day may also allow me to work towards dropping my eating hours for a more effective fasting capability. Trial and error we’ll see what happens.😶‍🌫️ I am trying to find a combo that will work well enough I can maintain this as a way of life past my weight loss period/regime. 😥
    14 - 243.8 lbs 😅🤯. Here we go up and down up and down up and down. Will my body figure it out…please. I am going to reset my eating plan and cut refined flour, or just flour in general, dairy, and red meat for a week to see if I can somehow stabilize my weight and see if any of those items included in my current eating plan are messing with me (per GOLO) I went to the gym today and did cardio on the elliptical. 🧐🤨😂
    15 - 241.2 lbs 😌😅 I decided I am going to adjust my intermittent fasting schedule from 16:8 to 18:6 for now to tighten that up. I may go down to 20:4, but I need to see how this new fasting schedule works out for me. My son & I plan on going back to the gym today!
    16 - 239.2 lbs ☺️😅 A little disappointed my son and I didn’t work out yesterday, but we made the decision to do so every other day and not be so thirsty/hard pressed to workout cardio back to back like that. At least for now. So we are working out today. I tried to adjust my fasting window to 18 hours yesterday instead of 16 while eating two meals instead of three and that was an immediate flop! I ended up taking too long to eat (practicing mindful eating along with the other things I do to change my eating behavior), but I ended up SOOO hungry during my fasting hours that I ended up snacking like twice on peanuts and then further into my fasting window I was ravenous (as would be expected), but I resisted until this morning I decided to reset my fasting schedule back to normal and broke my fast at around 0730 instead of waiting for my fasting hours to complete. So I took a hit, but oh well I learned something or reinforced some learnings regarding how snacking affects your hunger and sugar spikes and crashes.

    17 - 241.6 lbs 🥲😳 This yo-yoing as I decline in weight is weird. I don’t know if this is post Workouts inflammation or water retention from our workout the previous day, but it should settle out tomorrow. We will see. It could also be from my poor emotions based choices I made yesterday -which almost always seem to bite me in the butt pretty immediately it seems. Y’all should see my weight loss line graph. It looks like it’s jumping rope down a hill! 🤨😑🙄😵‍💫🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. I already take a litany of vitamins 💊 & supplements —which is how it was when I was growing up so I’m just getting back into the tradition starting this intensely about 1 month ago & I think that is also contributing to some of the loss that I am experiencing. I am planning on adding a few more supplements because I tend to be extra like that & my liver & kidney function isn’t obviously taxed enough so why not! The supplements & vitamins I take are more for thyroid health (I have hypothyroidism), reproductive region health, & brain fog/fatigue/alertness. I found out after the fact that some were also strongly responsible for weight loss related benefits. So why not? I am an Amazon shopping addict as it is so let’s raise the bar!

    18 - 241.4 lbs 🤦🏾‍♀️😑🫣 Excited about going to the gym today and hitting that cardio. We were supposed to start doing strength training at home with the hubby because he developed a whole strategy and everything, but we were slackers yesterday. I had to upend my eating and fasting hours some time get them closer to back on track, plus I cut out dinner because I couldn’t start eating until my window opened at 11:10 and I stay away hardcore now from eating past like about 1800. I have been trying to figure out why I emotionally eat even still sometimes here and there and automatically without much resistance fall prey to something comforting either sweet, crunchy, or salty when I need to regulate myself emotionally.

    19 - 239.6 lbs 😅😊 I am enjoying journaling including a food journal which I use to work through any times when I make unhealthy choices to get through the root cause and create a dialogue for myself that this is not the way! 😕 Today we are going grocery shopping and we usually go in the morning so we aren’t in the midst of decision fatigue from a long day if I go later in the afternoon or evening and before the store gets more full of people —which is one of the many tricks that Noom teaches that has really worked me in terms of sticking to what are good healthy choices and keeps me straight.

    20 - 242.2 lbs 😒🥺😢🤯 Yesterday was the first day we did strength training exercise and it is based on the program that my husband generated for me and our oldest son. My son and I went to the gym today and did some cardio on the elliptical. It worked well to reduce some stress and tension I was feeling this evening. Yesterday was my most successful day of eating based on analysis of macros & micro nutrients. I repeated what I ate this day and monitored my macros and micro nutrients by meal and made adjustments to what I added to the subsequent meals based on these results. I readjusted my micro and macro nutrient targets too. I have my sugar target set to 6 g and I actually hit it today! I only got 5! Usually I can get in the 30s or 40s.

    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
    4/2: 205.7
    4/3: 204.8
    4/4: 204.8
    4/5: 206.7
    4/6: 204.8
    4/7: 205.1
    4/8: 205.1
    4/8: 203.8
    4/9: 203.8
    4/10: 203.2
    4/11: 202.5
    4/12: 202.5
    4/13: 202.0
    4/14: 202.0
    4/15: 201.4
    4/16: 201.4

    4/17: 201.4
    The scale flashed a bunch of numbers again this morning, including 199 (😱) but settled on this again. Oh well. Try again tomorrow.

    4/18: 200.6
    Cautiously optimistic. This is usually where my body starts to freak out and say wait I must hold on to every ounce of water and fat, we can’t go below 200! So, I am cautiously optimistic.
    I worked 18 hours straight yesterday and feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.

    4/19: 200.6 😑

    4/20: 202.0
    Grrr. This is what my body does. It gets close to 200 and it freaks out. I ate no differently than I have been all month. I WILL make it through this though. No other option.

    4/21: 201.5
    I was under my calorie goal yesterday. I’m under my calorie goal every day or only over by 5-25 calories. I’m doing something wrong that I can’t get under 200 lbs. This is what all of October was like. Bouncing around 201. I’m craving sweet things like mad since I started this damn hormone pill. Thought I was doing okay with curbing those cravings with fruit. But the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result so I’ve got to change things up! Project for the weekend.
    Sorry for the rant, you ladies are all lovely! 💪🏼💗

    @BittersweetVita So sorry to hear of your grandmothers passing. I hope your father is recovering after his surgery. Take care of yourself, I know that's sometimes hard to do when you're going through so much all at once.
