Hello, I’m Heidi. I’m 55, 5’5” and I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area.
My goals for January:
1 - Weigh in daily
2 - Begin light cardio/stretch/weight exercises
3 - Maintain current weight or lose a little
Weight:
01.01.24 - 165.9 (.1 over my post surgical low)
01.02.24 - 166.5 (swelling is going back up)
01.03.24 - 167 (swelling is continuing to go back up)
01.04.24 - 167.5 (calling surgeon to see why I am blowing up like a balloon)
01.05.24 - 167.2 (surgeon says I am okay - here's to hoping it was just water retention!)
01.06.24 - 166 (much better)
01.07.24 - 165.1 (almost back to my post surgical weight)
01.08.24 - 164.2 (swelling weight gain GONE plus .7 more!!)
01.09.24 - 163.6
01.10.24 - 163
01.11.24 - 163.3
01.12.24 - 163.1
01.13.24 - 162.9 (oops forgot to post but I did weigh)
01.14.24 - 163.9 (serves me right for not posting, lol)
01.15.24 - 163.5 (overall weekly weigh-ins are down)
01.16.24 - 163.4
01.17.24 - 162.9
01.18.24 - 163.1
Exercise:
1 - Started small stretches (arms above head, side twists) which are going well. The pulling on my
incisions was horrible at first but are less so after a week. I also started doing some modified
bridges in the hopes that my healing abdominal muscles would start strengthening up. I am
walking much better and even walked the entire trip to Costco and pushed the cart. The hubby
still won't let me lift much except the small laundry basket!
2 - I'm getting much more walking in this week and slowly building up my stamina after surgery. I'm stretching more and more now as well. I still haven't gotten true exercise in the form of biking or aerobics but that will come soon (I hope).

01/17-182.6-(Trend Weight 181.8)- I’m turning this weight around. I don’t feel like changing my colorful “cross off chart” on all my challenges and I don’t feel like changing my ticker. So I am going to have to stick to the plan if I want to be an honest woman. I’ve been doing well on my meals-it’s the snacks that I have to worry about. I think the main problem is that I am staying up too late which puts me hungry again so many hours after my dinner. I’ve mainly been sticking to “approved” snacks, but it’s still eating into my exercise calories on some days. I don’t want to maintain I want to lose, so I’ll have to work on bedtime. Wow, looking up I can clearly see that I needed a little pink ink in my entries this month. Happy to have added one today!

December Ending Weight 164Jan 1: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Happy New Year!Jan 15: 162.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 I was over my sodium limit, and it shows. Also used all my calories (usually leave half of my calories earned by exercise). It's temporary.
Jan 2: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Met my New Year's goal - did a 10K walk yesterday AM. Was ravenous all day, but managed to stay under my calorie limit by 5 calories. I would say a successful day. I'm still .2 pounds away from my lowwest weight (just before Christmas).
Jan 3: 162.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Funny thing happened to yesterday. Greg, Monty and I started the Airline Trail today (I am feeling nostalgic so want to do it again, and we started off with a big one day 6.2 miles. When we got back to the car, Greg noticed he didn't have his wallet. Thought he left it on the counter at home. Got home, no wallet, now we think he must have dropped it on the trail as we were walking, so we drove back to the trail at the half way point. Greg went one way - I went the other looking for the wallet, another 3.7 miles and didn't find it. When we got home - Greg remembered he took the truck out yesterday - left it in the center console. LOL! So, my 6.2 walked turned into 9.9, silver linings I guess! Here are some pictures from the walk (the first time).
Jan 4: 162.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦
Jan 5 : 163.4 👣 📝 💪 💦 Couldn't sleep, got up, raided the pantry. When I posted last night it triggered me to stop, but a little too late. Today is my rest day. Off to visit my husband's cousin, celebrate Christmas. Will try to get a small walk in this afternoon. Won't be able to weigh everything, but we are bringing lunch with us, so should be able to estimate and log everything.
Jan 6: 162.8 📝 🥗 Spent yesterday at my husband's eldery cousins house -5 hours in a car, and sitting all day with her - so not much movement yesterday. I did log everything, and used estimates for measuring. I jumped on the treadmill when I got home - got 2 miles in - counting it as my rest day.
Jan 7: 162.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Just a quiet day at home - hubby was out all day. Finished the book I was reading, waiting for the winter storm to arrive - it came - not as much as expected. Just enough to make it pretty, and for me to get a little strength exercise today shoveling the driveway, but not enough to kill me. Actually looking forward to it. Probably won't get an outside walk today.
Jan 8: 163.6 ☹️👣 📝 🥗 💪 Doesn't make sense, but that is what the scale says today - so that's what I am posting.
Jan 9: 163.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Had some salty soup (was delicious), so expected the scale to stay the same or go up and it did. Went to Bingo with mom last night - won the door prize ($10). Yahoo. Mom seemed a little down yesterday, hoping all is ok. The arthritis in her hip has been bothering her for years, they give her injections - but the last one didn't really help much. She has her annual appointment with her doctor today - hoping they can figure something out so that she isn't in so much pain everyday.
Jan 10: 163.4 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦
Jan 11: 163.2 👣 📝 🥗 💦
Jan 12: 162.4 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Finally - a drop! Took a beautiful walk on the Airline Trail today. After the snow we had a couple inches of rain; it washed all the snow away - but made for some great waterfalls on the trail; I counted seven.
Jan 13: 162 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦Woo Hoo! Rainy morning here today, so will get my chores done in the AM, and hopefully get my walk in after the rain ends.
Jan 14: 161.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Rainy morning yesterday - cleaned and organized my closet - brought two big bags to Goodwill of things that no longer fit. Moved the one size up clothes to the hall closet. I'm kind of in between sizes - the things I am wearing are a little too big - but can' quite fit into the size down. Soon enough! The afternoon was beautiful - we hit the 60 degree mark in January - so we took an afternoon walk.
Jan 16: 161.6 😁👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦
Jan 17: 161.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦 Daily fluctuations
Jan 18: 161.2 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Bitterly cold yesterday. We did get out for a bit - but only about a mile and a half hike - had to get the rest of my steps in on the treadmill. It's going to be the same today.
Jan 19: 160.6 😁👣 📝 🥗💦 Just another quiet day at home yesterday. Looking at some vacation homes in FL to get a way from the cold for a week or two - possibly in February. We would have to bring Monty with us this time, his long time babysitter is no longer available and don't want to leave him in a kennel, she stayed at our home while we were away. To find another one that would do that, and that we trust is nearly impossible. Allyson usually takes care of him when we go on weekend trips - but when we go away during the week she is at work all day so need someone to take him out. The dog situation has made traveling a little more difficult. Don't get me wrong - I love taking him with us - it's just a long ride instead of a plane ticket.

Hi, this is my first time in this challenge and I'm very happy to be here! I'm 66 YO, 5' 2" and officially overweight (again). Gained back 20 lbs in 2 years. My main goal is to lose the weight and change my habits to a sustainable lifestyle that allows me to eat well and maintain my fitness.

No matter. The scale said 159.6 this morning. Not going to get excited. This is the third time I've seen that weight. We'll see what it says on Monday.4 -

I'm about to take a planned 3-day break. I'll get back to my routine on Monday. Have a great weekend, everyone!5 -
Hi All! I'm a 46-year-old married mom of five. I started this group in September at 141 pounds (overweight for me at my height) and have lost about 11-12 pounds overall since then. I always gain some weight around Christmas; I love the cookies, truffles, and eggnog etc. I allowed myself to just enjoy those things and slack off some; however, it's time to get back to the routine! My goal for January is to log and weigh every day, and to lose 3 1/2 pounds. I'm setting my goal a tad on the aggressive side because I suspect that some of my gain from the end of December is not only fat but water and such.
Ultimate starting weight 160.0 pounds
January goal: 126.0 pounds
January 1: 129.6 I logged ❄️
January 2: 128.6
January 3: 128.2 I logged ❄️
January 4: 127.4 The scale was acting wonky today... it did this last month but settled out and started acting normal again.
January 5: 128.6 I logged ❄️
January 6: 126.6 I logged ❄️
January 7: 127.2
January 8: 128.8 I logged ❄️
January 9: 126.6 I logged ❄️ My weight sure is flopping around a lot, but that's pretty normal when I've been eating a lot and am finding my way back to the routine.
January 10: 126.8 I logged ❄️
January 11: 126.6
January 12: 126.0 I logged ❄️ Happy to see that the number did not go up... My mother-in-law made one of her delicious meals for us last night, and it included homemade mac & cheese, a huge weakness of mine. I stopped logging at dinner and *may* have had a bit more than my calorie allotment of the mac & cheese. 😬
January 13: 125.2
My original goal was 125, so I guess I should celebrate. It will probably go up again and fluctuate for a while before things settle, so I'm not declaring myself at "goal" or even really at 125 yet. I'm also thinking I'd like to keep going for a couple more pounds. I have two pairs of jeans that I wore pre-baby that I would like to be able to fit into, if possible. I tried them on today, and they were a no go, LOL. I mean, at least I could get the legs on, which is nice, but they are still a little ways off. If I lose a couple more pounds, in addition to maybe being able to fit into my favorite jeans again, it would put me in the middle of my normal BMI as well, so that's nice.
In other news, about a week and a half ago my husband started calorie counting with MFP. He wants to lose 50 pounds. For a long time I have intermittently made simple remarks about how "weight loss is simply math," or "exercise is great for health but weight loss happens in the kitchen," or "no matter what you eat, weight loss is simply calories in calories out." Not because I wanted to influence him to lose weight, but just in conversation. I never said anything about MyFitnessPal. Sometimes my family would just catch me measuring my food, all by myself in a little corner. One morning he made eggs for me, and I started to reach for the butter. He said, "Oh I already buttered your toast." I said, "Oh, I was going to measure it because I'm tracking my food." And he said, "I already measured it." I said, "Oh! How much butter is it?" And he replied, "A little bit." 🤣🤣🤣 So this was his idea of "measuring," LOL. Anyway, one day I wake up to find him surrounded by measuring cups and spoons, and he says, "Do we have a food scale?" And come to find out, he had started logging his food with MyFitnessPal. He's lost about 7 pounds already and feeling a lot better. I also love that he now understands my measuring and tracking, and we can discuss it and do it together. I make all our meals, so I've been entering them into the MFP database so that he can log them.

January 15: 126.8 So, I think the 125.2 reading the other day was not accurate. Hubby is weighing himself now, and we are in agreement that our scale sometimes acts wonky and can have a wide margin of error. Today it first read 125.8, but I noticed the right side of it was very close to a crack in the floor. I moved it to the left, and it read 126.8. Then moved it to the middle of the floor, where it's easier to get it flat, and it read 126.8. So, perhaps it dips down a bit if it's close to the crack and reads too low. We are thinking about getting a different scale at some point......
January 16: 127.0
January 17: 127.0 I logged ❄️ I've been reeeeeally busy the last few days!
January 18: 126.2 OK, only 0.2 to get to my goal for the month. Just gotta keep on going. We now have our scale up against the wall, away from the crack in the floor, and I think it's acting normal right now.

Hello, I’m Heidi. I’m 55, 5’5” and I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area.
My goals for January:
1 - Weigh in daily
2 - Begin light cardio/stretch/weight exercises
3 - Maintain current weight or lose a little
Weight:
01.01.24 - 165.9 (.1 over my post surgical low)
01.02.24 - 166.5 (swelling is going back up)
01.03.24 - 167 (swelling is continuing to go back up)
01.04.24 - 167.5 (calling surgeon to see why I am blowing up like a balloon)
01.05.24 - 167.2 (surgeon says I am okay - here's to hoping it was just water retention!)
01.06.24 - 166 (much better)
01.07.24 - 165.1 (almost back to my post surgical weight)
01.08.24 - 164.2 (swelling weight gain GONE plus .7 more!!)
01.09.24 - 163.6
01.10.24 - 163
01.11.24 - 163.3
01.12.24 - 163.1
01.13.24 - 162.9 (oops forgot to post but I did weigh)
01.14.24 - 163.9 (serves me right for not posting, lol)
01.15.24 - 163.5 (overall weekly weigh-ins are down)
01.16.24 - 163.4
01.17.24 - 162.9
01.18.24 - 163.1
01.19.24 - 163.3
Exercise:
1 - Started small stretches (arms above head, side twists) which are going well. The pulling on my
incisions was horrible at first but are less so after a week. I also started doing some modified
bridges in the hopes that my healing abdominal muscles would start strengthening up. I am
walking much better and even walked the entire trip to Costco and pushed the cart. The hubby
still won't let me lift much except the small laundry basket!
2 - I'm getting much more walking in this week and slowly building up my stamina after surgery. I'm stretching more and more now as well. I still haven't gotten true exercise in the form of biking or aerobics but that will come soon (I hope).
Highest weight Sep 2004: 315
Gastric Bypass weight Jan 2005: 281
Lowest weight Nov 2005: 142 (told to gain weight)
Highest recent weight Jun 2023: 228.8 (lost and gained throughout the years - oops)
Skin removal surgery weight Nov 2023: 175
Goal weight: No idea yet6 -

No matter. The scale said 159.6 this morning. Not going to get excited. This is the third time I've seen that weight. We'll see what it says on Monday.
@WhiskeyDeltaKilo I use my PC. I keep a word document that I just add to daily, then copy/paste onto this post. Others have mentioned they hit the quote button underneath their last post, remove the quote and /quote words and add to it then post. I hope this helps.4 -

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.

01/19-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Today is no-weigh Friday. Such cold freezing temps this morning to have to get DGS to the bus stop. It is just to the end of the block but we will drive. Taking my Fosamax with water while I get him ready since I have an hour for the process of that medication. Back to bed and then I will post later. Today he has ½ day because it’s the end of the marking period so I will meet the bus at about 12;10. The snack monster continues to chase me, but meals have been clean. I tried Zumba yesterday and stopped after about 15 minutes. I felt like an uncoordinated bumbling fool. And it’s not for the faint of heart either! Wow it’s different as you age and when you are out of shape! This seems much easier than the Richard Simmons I did years ago in the 80's. But that was 40 years ago so I guess I get it. I will try several different Zumba videos though and fit in into my rotation for a bit and see if my body can come around. I am looking to shake it up a bit.
