03/11-179.6-(Trend Weight: 179.2)-
03/18-180.4-(Trend Weight: 180.4)- It’s been a rough week. My meals have been on target but I’ve found myself very hungry by night. I think I began to eat all my meals too early leaving me with too many hours in the evening. I also found that I was logging my food AFTER I ate it, instead of pre-logging and sticking to the planned snacks. I’ll change it back up this week! I’ve had virtually no exercise as this renovation is keeping me so busy and the guys seem to need me every minute. By the time they leave every evening I’m exhausted. I’ve got to figure this out even if it seems impossible right now. I know one thing for sure, the gains must stop and the progress must resume. My health really declines with too much weight as a diabetic and a heart patient. Health should always come first.
03/25-182.6-(Trend Weight: 180.5)- It’s been a horrible month filled with events, travel, special occasions and many many times of weakness. I would certainly like to turn this around by the end of March so I am AT LEAST back into the 170’s. And even with that, I’m so tired of just treading water. Nobody can change it but me. Thankfully every day is a new day and a new opportunity. Will I walk around it like a cold mud puddle or will I embrace it like a warm hug? I don’t know about you, but I like warm hugs way better than cold mud puddles.

Another week of gain. But I plan on weighing in on Sunday and I expect some ToM whoosh before then.
I have eaten plenty of Easter chocolate this weekend.

FOR THIS CHALLENGE:150
MY CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:140
Last time I had challenged myself to eat at restaurants only for social activities, not alone, and then just an appetizer and drink. I lost 4 pounds. So I am going to continue this, and add another challenge. 2 bean dishes per week at home. 1 bean soup recipe and vegetarian pasta and peas...every week!
January 1:150
January 8:151
January 15:Back to 149..Beans!
January 22:?
January 29: ?
Feb 2: Back to 151! 🥲
So the bean dishes are tasty & have been really good for my wallet. I have been getting entrees à la carte like one taco or a sandwich without a side instead of appetizers as sometimes that is the healthier option.
I refuse to suffer just to lose 10 pounds! I'm brainstorming again to think of some sort of tweak to cut calories enough to start losing weight..I did just discover the smart bmi website, which puts 144 as a healthy weight for me. That made me feel a lot better!
Feb 15:148
I don't know how I lost a few pounds since last time, except I have been drinking less sugar in my coffee in the afternoons. I was gifted Swiss colony chocolates so I thought that it wouldn't make much difference. 😋
Feb. 22: 149
Feb 28: 150...It's warming up and the trees are starting to bloom. For March I am sticking to my big 2 cup coffee with cream and sugar, but 0 calorie or almost 0 calorie drinks for the rest of the day. This should cut atleast 200 calories per day!🫣 March 7: 148! I have definitely been drinking a lot less coffee during the day!
March 19: 147 I have been sticking to black coffee in the afternoon/less sugar in general. Not much change over 2 weeks, but I finally lost a pound!
I am usually a breakfast skipper, and eat my first meal around 10:30 or so. I'm going to try eating a light breakfast in the morning, for a few weeks, to see if that makes any difference.

January 1: 206
January 8: 206 I did great all week until the weekend and then overate yesterday. Disappointing! The first anniversary of my DH death is coming up on March 9. This month marks his rapid decline. Many memories and most are sad and unpleasant.
January 15: 206.8
January 22: 206.8 Went up last week and stayed the same, now to bring it down. My special needs daughter had lithotripsy (sound waves) to remove a kidney stone yesterday. It's been a very stressful last few days with that and freezing rain that made driving to the hospital very tricky.
January 29: 205.6 I haven’t felt the best this week with suffering vertigo from BPPV. Still managed a loss. Only lost .4 for the month but at least the number is down and not up.
January Goal: 203
January Actual: 205.6
January Loss: .4
February 5: 207.4 Well this is not good! Gotta watch what I’m doing, too many calories and not enough exercise.
February 12: 208.8 Another terrible week and it's showing in my health. Developed a superficial blood clot in my leg. Treating it with just aspirin. Emotionally this is a rough time for me. My husband went into the hospital and year ago this month and died on Mar. 9. I've been coping with food and that's not good. I need to figure out something else.
February 19: 208.2 Well at least it’s down and not up. A long way to go.
February 26: 207.2 Yay! Still up from starting this challenge but at least another week in the right direction. I haven’t felt well most of the week as well as most of this challenge. Adding on weight certainly doesn’t help either. Traveling again this weekend to visit extended family I haven’t seen in a few years.
February Goal: 199
February Actual: 207.2
February Loss: +1.6 from end of January
March 4: 209.2 Well I knew it would be up this week. I took my mom to visit her sisters so a lot of time in the car and then eating out most meals. Hopefully most of this is salt and stress. First anniversary of my husband’s passing is on Mar.9 so some depression as well.
March 11: 209.4 Stayed basically the same. Saturday went better than I thought it would be. Some dear friends drove 4.5 hours one way to visit me. They were there when DH passed away. There are not many friends who would do that and continue to care and watch over me. I made DH favorite meal while they were here and we did go out to eat Sunday for lunch. It's all the other times that I graze on something I shouldn't or eat poor nutritional meals. I keep thinking it will get better and I will hop back on the band wagon but it's been challenging. Hope all the "firsts" are now over and maybe psychologically and emotionally I can move on more. I know that moments of grief and the process of grief happen for a very long time. You can't move on from being married for 38.5 years and dating 2 before that easily. Two shall become one means more than you might think.
Today is also my youngest daughters birthday.
March 18: 208.2 Finally in a downward direction. I go to visit my mom every other week and I usually eat too much junk, eat a lot of salt and don’t drink nearly enough water. This trip was better plus yesterday I decided I was going to stick to my mfp calorie goal. One day at a time but I know that works if I just stay disciplined. Thursday I have a doctor’s appointment to see about replacing my left knee, I had my right one done in July. Another very good reason to get this weight off.
March 25: 209 Well this challenge was a bust for me but that is okay. Onto the next one.

Not exciting numbers but 2 lbs lighter. It is hard not to compare yourself to other members in this challenge. All members are inspiring and some losses are impressive. I will continue to work at it. A positive note I did add 30 minutes daily on a treadmill while watching Breaking Bad. Looking forward to the Spring Loss Challenge.2 -

YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 195.6 lbs, January 1, 2024
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 184.5 lbs (roughly 1 pound a week)
January Goal: 191.6 lbs
January Actual: 193.6
January Loss: 2 LBS (slow progress. But at least it’s progress— this would be 23LBS total… Not bad for a full time working 50ish year old)
And I am changing my weigh in day to Fridays…. Weighing in on Mondays (after a weekend 🤔)
February 2: 196.8 (started a new heavy workout routine a week ago…I think my body is retaining water for muscle healing/growth🤞well this is what I am hoping as I feel really good)
February 9: 192.8 lb (yep… heavy work out was the good thing) let’s keep moving the dial…
February 16: no weigh in
February 23: no weigh in
February Goal: 190 LBS
February Actual: no weigh in
February Loss: no weigh in
March 1: 197 lbs - so I had no idea how much I lost for the month of February, but obviously the first weekend of March I gained 5 pounds during that month. I was traveling the last three weeks of February which threw off my workout routine and my diet off not being able to log calories due to meetings and work, but this is why I entered the challenge. I need to teach myself and learn from my mistakes and start making myself a priority. Onto the next week and next weigh in and hopefully I can get rid of the 5 pounds and end my goal at 190 which would still be 5 pounds less than when I entered three month challenge

There has been no whoosh. Not sure why the signal for the whoosh arrived right on time. Maybe it is the Easter mood with candy and snacks. I have not been good this week.
I would love to promise to be good from now on. But next weekend is a girls weekend. There is a pool sure I will swim but I will eat too.

I did not quite meet my initial or adjusted goals. But I lost a decent amount of weight, and A LOT of inches. So I’m happy with my progress. Hope to see you all in the spring challenge!

03/25-DNW-(Trend Weight:DNW)- I left extra early for a day and evening of travel. I will weigh in the next couple of days and come back and post. I will catch up on reading everyone’s post tomorrow. It’s been a horrible month filled with events, travel, special occasions and many many times of weakness. I would certainly like to turn this around by the end of March so I am AT LEAST back into the 170’s. And even with that, I’m so tired of just treading water. Nobody can change it but me. Thankfully every day is a new day and a new opportunity. Will I walk around it like a cold mud puddle or will I embrace it like a warm hug? I don’t know about you, but I like warm hugs way better than cold mud puddles.
03/31-179.6-(Trend Weight: 180.6)- February was a good month but March was horrible. Very back and forth landing finally at a gain instead of a loss. I’m looking forward to leaving it behind and am hopeful for April. 4 lbs total lost this challenge. I’ll see you in the next one!
