    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.

    04/11-192.8-(Trend Weight 191.8)- Obviously very disappointed but I’m home today, no travel and back on plan. I picked up my taxes yesterday, had a wonderful dinner out on Lake Huron (which looks like the ocean). It snowed like Haites on Saturday, but by Monday it was 70 degrees and very spring-like. I wore my first capris of the season! My son chose Pizza Hut for dinner. We hadn’t had that in a few years as we don’t have it available in most of the cities we go to. All the leftovers went to him for today’s lunch. I’ll be watching my P’s and Q’s as I have a new challenge/goal for myself (listed above) and now I’m already behind on it!

    My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days. 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.

    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.
    8/1/22- 167.2 lbs
    12/1/22-198 lbs
    1/1/23- 213.4 lbs
    2/1/23- 207.4 lbs
    3/1/23- 201 lbs
    4/1/23-207.6 lbs
    4/2/23-209 lbs. I need to get my head right and be more accountable to myself in this. I need to get back in control and off the carbs again. Back to my lower level of daily carbs and FOCUSED on what is best for me! Not short term enjoyment. Elliptical 150 minutes for 10.11 miles.
    4/3/23- 206 lbs. Was really good yesterday, was under my calories & carbs and it shows. I just don't understand why I have to go SO low carb to lose.
    4/4/23- 204.8 lbs Can you tell I've been good with keeping my carbs low the last few days? Today looks to be good too!
    4/5/23- 204.8 lbs. Stuck to my plan yesterday and today. Turned down a sweet treat that our director of nursing sent to us!
    4/6/23- 203.6 lbs What a difference getting my carbs back under control. I wish my body wasn't so darn sensitive to carbs! I can't eat but a few servings of low carb veggies and not eating fruit. It's ridiculous!!!!
    4/7/23- 202.8 lbs Well it's working again, the very low carbs. Guess my head is in it again! Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.06 miles, zones 2, 3 & 4.
    4/8/23- 202.8 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4.
    4/9/23- 203.6 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4. Meat & low carb veggies for Easter lunch today but I had a piece of a Dominican Pineapple cake. OMG! Not rich and a whipped cream icing but moist as a Rum cake. So delicious! Worth the calories & Carbs IMO.
    4/10/23- 205.8 lbs :-( Oh well.

    4/11/23- 206.6 lbs :-(

    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
    😃 Something has clicked in my brain and I am finding it easier to control my cravings and stick to my calorie goal. It might have to do with the warmer, sunnier weather. Next up I need to work on my walking. I’m only getting out twice a week right now.
    4/12: 202.5
    I am loving this warmer weather! I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and I have always been so grateful for Spring and Summer and Fall. Winter not so much.

    Happy April! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married woman with four kids. Mentally and emotionally, I have been struggling. I had to transition from being a stay-at-home mom/part-time worker to working 50+ hours a week after my husband's disability and subsequent surgery. Feeling the mom/wife guilt as I have not been able to find the balance. My mom had to have a heart procedure and now her condition has lead to her needing to see if she can be a candidate for a lung, and possibly a heart and lung transplant. My dad has mitral valve replacement surgery next week. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, Early Menopause, Plantar Fasciitis, and now my hair is starting to fall out. I struggle with planning meals, overindulging in carbs, not finding time to exercise, being consistent, and needing new coping skills. I know I've had a rough time dealing with all of this, but I will keep trying.

    April Goals:

    ☔️Stretch daily
    ☔️Log food everyday
    ☔️Rugby Practices
    ☔️Take thyroid med everyday
    ☔️Increase Water Intake
    ☔️Either gain a little muscle or lose a little weight

    January starting weight: 189.4 lbs
    February starting weight: 187.3
    March starting weight: 192.1
    April starting weight: 194.6

    @jm216 - YES! This sunny weather has helped me too! Seeing the green grass, leaves growing, warmth from the sun, and having baby birds on our porch has been amazing for my mental health. I needed some sun to push through my clouds lately. What a wonderful song! It has helped get my morning off to a good start!

    @joans1976 - While I am happy to hear that you have finished your radiation treatments (hopefully you are not experiencing any burns), I am sorry that your doctor gave you such an unrealistic weight loss goal - especially after having a hysterectomy and recently going through cancer treatments, which can effect so many things too. I'm kinda glad that you laughed at them. Don't let that number overwhelm you - keep focusing on the small wins and you will get there!

    @flutterlosses - You are right - the drop will come! Hang in there for it!

    @pamperedlinny - I hope you ended up having a nice or at least decent visit after all the stress of preparing for it. I hope you have a good day today.

    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
    😃 Something has clicked in my brain and I am finding it easier to control my cravings and stick to my calorie goal. It might have to do with the warmer, sunnier weather. Next up I need to work on my walking. I’m only getting out twice a week right now.
    4/12: 202.5
    I am loving this warmer weather! I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life and I have always been so grateful for Spring and Summer and Fall. Winter not so much.
    4/13: 202.0
    Doing good! Yesterday was a bit of a challenge with the sugar cravings but I made it through. I’ve been having hot flashes (so fun) and I know coffee, chocolate and wine can make them worse. I cannot make it through life without coffee and chocolate!

    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.

    04/12-193.2-(Trend Weight 192.0)- It was a good day yesterday. Diet was on point and I got plenty of steps/movement/exercise raking the yard and burning leaves. I will be working on that project over the course of many days. I think the uptick is just the “days later fallout” or “hangover”, if you will, from days ago during the holiday and travel. Staying the course and hoping it will start reflecting that soon. The 180’s are pretty angry right now that I left them in the dust.

    04/13-192.2-(Trend Weight 192.5)- Wow, did I ever get hungry last night! Usually the protein in chicken breast holds me over much better than it did last night. I ate an ounce of almonds, a piece of my sugar-free Russell Stover’s chocolate and drank my water. I must save the extra calories and carbs for those situations so I don’t go into a binge. Crisis Averted!

    My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days. Logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21.

    Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
    9/14/20-255 lbs
    5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.

    4/1/23-207.6 lbs
    4/2/23-209 lbs. I need to get my head right and be more accountable to myself in this. I need to get back in control and off the carbs again. Back to my lower level of daily carbs and FOCUSED on what is best for me! Not short term enjoyment. Elliptical 150 minutes for 10.11 miles.
    4/3/23- 206 lbs. Was really good yesterday, was under my calories & carbs and it shows. I just don't understand why I have to go SO low carb to lose.
    4/4/23- 204.8 lbs Can you tell I've been good with keeping my carbs low the last few days? Today looks to be good too!

    4/6/23- 203.6 lbs What a difference getting my carbs back under control. I wish my body wasn't so darn sensitive to carbs! I can't eat but a few servings of low carb veggies and not eating fruit. It's ridiculous!!!!
