    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

    April
    1- 207.6
    2- 207.7 :s - New to weighing in everyday - hope this is just temporary
    3 - 207.6 :)
    4 - 207.4 :)
    5 - 206.8 :)
    6 - 206.4 :) - Happy with that! Was supposed to go out to dinner last night (bi-weekly Trivia night) and was dreading the impact, but my sister had to cancel so didn't go. Secretly I was happy that I didn't! ;)
    7- 206.2 :) - Met my weekly goal - and all my other goals too! Thanks for keeping me accountable!
    8 - 206.4 :s
    9 - 205.9 :) Guess that uptick was temporary! Interesting how your body reacts, didn't do anything different. Anyway glad for the reversal!
    10 - 205.2 :) Nice to see another down day!
    11 - 204.8 :)
    12 - 204.2 :) I have been getting 14,000+ steps in every day. Two 40+ mintue workouts and eating below my calorie limit. I guess it's working!
    13 - 204.4 :s High sodium day yesterdy - hoping it reverses tomorrow.
    14 - 204.2 :|
    15 - 204.6 :s Another high sodium day - my daughter was over for dinner (we are celebrating Easter this weekend), and we ordered pizza. I only had two pieces and ate light for Breakfast and Lunch, but it put me over my sodium food level which apparently I am very sensitive to.
    16 - 206 :s Celebrated Easter with the family. I skipped breakfast and dinner, just had lunch. I did log everything and supposedly just stayed under my calorie goal (with excercise adjustment). Completed Couch to 5K in the AM (just started, doing two weeks of each progression. I'm on the second week of week 1), but still gained. I've found that I can't use all the calories that I gain from excercise and still lose weight. I shoot for only using about half and that works for me. Anyway, back on track, hoping to lose what I gained over the last two days by then end of the week.

    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!

    4/14: 202.0
    Still hanging in there! Need to get my behind in gear and start doing some purposeful movement though. I work about 10 hours a day (from home, on a computer) so one would think I would be anxious to get out and walk after that. Nope. I have the next 2 1/2 days off and the weather is supposed to hold, I need to push myself! 💪🏼

    4/15: 201.4
    It was sunny and in the 80s here yesterday, supposed to be the same today. Then rain, rain, rain. I got out and did some activity yesterday but woke up this morning in quite a bit of pain in my cancer areas. I didn’t think I overdid it, hopefully nothing some coffee and ibuprofen can’t solve!
    Enjoy your weekends lovely ladies!

    4/16: 201.4
    This morning the scale kept flashing numbers and I thought it was going to settle at 200. something but it settled at 201.4. Kind of a bummer but better than a gain.

    @jm216 What do you find the most tedious about logging? Weighing or measuring your food or putting it into MFP? I find it’s waaayyy easier to enter food on the app, it seems to have a better memory than if I’m on the website. Anyway, nice job hanging in there and with a puppy to take care of too.

    My goals for April:

    🐶 Walk and train puppy
    🥗 Continue the high-protein, lower carb, lower fat plan

    April☔️
    1—208.6… I hope to see 206 again this month!
    2—207.8
    3—207.4
    4—205.8
    5—207.8 … Boing… Boing… bouncing numbers on the scale…Still very happy with my progress!
    6—207.7
    7—206.8 🌷
    8—207.3
    9—206.1
    10–205.2
    11–206.3…The sun is out and so are Nova and I!
    12–205.7…It’s another yard day!
    13–206.6 … had another great day outside in the sun. Got a little sunburn on my arms.☀️
    I had fun using my power washer. My days off are done, so it’s back to work today.

    Confession time: logging is not my favorite thing to do. But, I’m at the moment in this journey where I need to log consistently. I’m starting with a goal of today… then tomorrow… baby steps.

    14–207.1 logged everything I ate from yesterday just now. Definitely room for improvement. Feeling like I’m starting to get back into logging daily.
    15–205.5 day 3 of logging. 👍
    16–205.2 I just pre-logged for today… hopefully this works!

    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

    01: DNW - Norovirus
    02: DNW - Norovirus

    06: DNW - Norovirus
    07: DNW - Norovirus
    08: DNW - Norovirus
    09: DNW - Norovirus
    10: 193.6 - Not a fun way to start off the month. Lol!
    11: DNW
    12: DNW
    13: 192.2 - I have managed to keep my lunch portions on the lighter side since being sick .
    14: 191.4
    15:192.5 - Hmm. It was a crazy day and I only ate one meal, but it was late at night.
    16: 193.4 - What? I am hoping this is sodium related and not my body fighting me to stay this weight.

    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 😱 😵‍💫
    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.

    I got down in the dumps for several days because it looked like my weight was going up and I felt powerless to do anything about. Stayed home, ate and didn't want to talk with anyone. Ever been like that? But as Rod Stewart sang, "I got my nip and turned around..." and my weight is coming down now. I'm counting calories, gardening, getting out and walking more and staying within my two meals a day eating plan.

    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.

All fit within my allowances but a late meal and a early weigh-in (got up early to babysit DGS) really did me in. Too early for my TMI too. Lots of yard work and calorie burn yesterday. Hopefully I will see a drop tomorrow.

    04/16-187.4-(Trend Weight 191.6)- Firmly back in the 180’s so I have scratched off the 190’s so hopefully they are scratched for good! Thunderstorms today, snow tomorrow and Tuesday. Ugh! So much for the yardwork I’ve been trying to get done! It sure has helped burn calories.

    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 :-(
    4/12/23- 206.6 lbs
    4/13/23- 206.6 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 9.92 miles zones 2, 3 & 4.
    4/14/23- 208 lbs No elliptical today, had errands to do. I'm going to see my son, daughter in law and granddaughter in Oklahoma City on Wednesday for a week. Haven't physically seen them since August. He's stationed in the Air Force. When I was there last April I was 60 lbs lighter. :-( The airline seats will be tighter again!
    4/15/23- 211.6 lbs :-(

    4/16/23- 211.2 lbs

    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

    April
    1- 207.6
    2- 207.7 :s - New to weighing in everyday - hope this is just temporary
    3 - 207.6 :)
    4 - 207.4 :)
    5 - 206.8 :)
    6 - 206.4 :) - Happy with that! Was supposed to go out to dinner last night (bi-weekly Trivia night) and was dreading the impact, but my sister had to cancel so didn't go. Secretly I was happy that I didn't! ;)
    7- 206.2 :) - Met my weekly goal - and all my other goals too! Thanks for keeping me accountable!
    8 - 206.4 :s
    9 - 205.9 :) Guess that uptick was temporary! Interesting how your body reacts, didn't do anything different. Anyway glad for the reversal!
    10 - 205.2 :) Nice to see another down day!
    11 - 204.8 :)
    12 - 204.2 :) I have been getting 14,000+ steps in every day. Two 40+ mintue workouts and eating below my calorie limit. I guess it's working!
    13 - 204.4 :s High sodium day yesterdy - hoping it reverses tomorrow.
    14 - 204.2 :|
    15 - 204.6 :s Another high sodium day - my daughter was over for dinner (we are celebrating Easter this weekend), and we ordered pizza. I only had two pieces and ate light for Breakfast and Lunch, but it put me over my sodium food level which apparently I am very sensitive to.
    16 - 206 :s Celebrated Easter with the family. I skipped breakfast and dinner, just had lunch. I did log everything and supposedly just stayed under my calorie goal (with excercise adjustment). Completed Couch to 5K in the AM (just started, doing two weeks of each progression. I'm on the second week of week 1), but still gained. I've found that I can't use all the calories that I gain from excercise and still lose weight. I shoot for only using about half and that works for me. Anyway, back on track, hoping to lose what I gained over the last two days by then end of the week.
    17 - 203.8 :)

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    04/17-188.4-(Trend Weight 191.3)- Well, yesterday was a 3.6 lb Whoosh Loss. Today the body must be adjusting itself because it was a 1 lb gain for no reason. My calories were 1070 and my carbs were 69. I hit all my macros, my glucose was good. However, with the thunderstorms, I got no exercise at all. I decided to just rest a bit and catch up on some paperwork and housework. No TMI x 2 probably is not helping either. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

    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.

    Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan. My hubby and I have 2 kids in college… my son is graduating in May and my daughter is a freshman.

    My goals for April:
    🧹Spring cleaning
    📝 Log consistently
    🐶 Walk and train puppy
    🥗 Continue the high-protein, lower carb, lower fat plan

    January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
    February weight lost: 5 pounds
    March weight lost: 6 pounds 😃☘️

    April☔️
    1—208.6… I hope to see 206 again this month!
    2—207.8
    3—207.4
    4—205.8
    5—207.8 … Boing… Boing… bouncing numbers on the scale…Still very happy with my progress!
    6—207.7
    7—206.8 🌷
    8—207.3
    9—206.1
    10–205.2
    11–206.3…The sun is out and so are Nova and I!
    12–205.7…It’s another yard day!
    13–206.6 … had another great day outside in the sun. Got a little sunburn on my arms.☀️
    I had fun using my power washer. My days off are done, so it’s back to work today.

    Confession time: logging is not my favorite thing to do. But, I’m at the moment in this journey where I need to log consistently. I’m starting with a goal of today… then tomorrow… baby steps.

    14–207.1 logged everything I ate from yesterday just now. Definitely room for improvement. Feeling like I’m starting to get back into logging daily.
    15–205.5 day 3 of logging. 👍
    16–205.2 I just pre-logged for today… hopefully this works!
    17–203.8. Yep, it worked! Pre-logging is my new friend. 🥰
    18–203.3 feeling fine 🌷

So far I have SUFFERED through it trying EVERYTHING to get the hunger to go away. All the tricks in my bag aren’t working right now. I’ve managed to stay within my limits on calories and have only went slightly over on carbs per day. I hope this passes soon or I’ll need the strength of Samson to keep going without a major binge.

    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.

    4/6/23- 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!!!!
