Hi everyone, I am returning for a fresh start and a new dedication. I'm going to do some intentional activity at least five days per week for at least 20 minutes per session. I'm also going to be mindful of nutrition, to avoid most processed foods and to eliminate all alcoholic beverage consumption. My weigh-in in days will be Sundays. I will report my weekly scale stats here in order to stay accountable. This week I weighed in on Monday, but regular weigh-ins will be Sundays going forward. My goal weight is 132-140lbs.
Highest WT: 217.0 lbs. on 2/29/2008
WK 00: 156.4
(Day 01 of "Do Over")
Current change: -00.0 lbs.
(Day 01-05/26/24)
Total change: -00.0 lbs.
(Since restart on 05/26/24)
Best wishes as we share this journey! Have a great week!🌷💕Carole

Hey, I'm Crystal! ❤️ Goal for May is to be in the low 160's or lower by the 31st. Still watching macros (1260 calories/day, low sugar around 100 carbs or less). Also continuing the increase of protein and to walk most days!
5'4
SW: 198 lbs (Oct. 2023)
GW: 140-145 (By June, 2024)
Feb 1st SW: 184.5
March 1st SW: 176.8
April 1st SW: 178.1
May 1st: 170.2Feb 1st: 184.5May 1st: 170.2 😒 A mixture of things within the last week caused the gain- little sleep, eating out, cake etc.. I met my goals each day though in April and didn't miss a day of exercise, so I'm proud of that.
Feb 7th: 183.6
Feb 14th: 182.1 (weight was 181.4 yesterday). I expected a little increase, as some ladies and I had a Gallentines party last night with all sorts of goodies and champagne 🍾
Feb 21st: 180.6 yayyy! Still loving OMAD. I think this number could have been better because I didn't put all the work in I should have. I only walked 2 times this week. Also, my sleep has been awful. If I can do better about those things then I know the loss will be better. Still satisfied though.
Feb 28th: 177.2 had a couple of very low calorie days the past week due to sickness but all is better now! Didn't get as many walks in as I planned, but I'm happy to see a good loss! (7.3 lbs lost total in February)
March 6th: 176.6 I could have done better this past week. Looking back at the week, there were a lot of social outings. Had a bunch of junk that I didn’t need. (Pizza, fries, candy, burger etc). I know these things are ok sometimes but when it's several days in a row, it doesn't do me any good. Didn't stick with Omad the whole week either, or my calorie/carb goals. The plan for this next week is to stay on track with my goals and omad.
March 13th: 176.1 I did have a better week this past week, so I was hoping for more of a loss. The only thing I can figure is that it could be that I'm not sleeping well. Only got decent sleep maybe half of the days. At least it's not a gain. Just a little discouraged.
March 20th: 175.5 Sloww loss for sure. I've changed some things since last week. Added more protein in my diet and getting more steps in. Hopefully this will help.
March 27th: 173.1 Thank goodness for more of a loss this week. I was starting to wonder if I was going to lose anymore. I added more protein in and am aiming to walk most days. I stopped OMAD too because I dont think I was eating enough protein with the 1 meal. I'm having a protein shake and a cucumber for lunch. Still fasting, but doing 16:8 and 2 meals/day. Doesn't look like I'll meet my goal of the 160's by the end of the month but hopefully soon.
April 3rd: 174.8 I was traveling this past weekend and I had a 5lb gain from not tracking, eating all the foods I normally do not and several alcoholic beverages. Most of it has came back off thankfully but it's still upsetting that it set me a week behind. Next week will be better.
April 10th: 172.0 Aiming for no cheat days in April, and at least 20 minutes of exercise each day. So far, so good 😀.
April 17th: 170.2 I'm super excited about the loss but this really is almost overnight. I have been doing really well the past this whole month with no cheat days and haven't missed a day of exercise. The past 2 days I have barely had an appetite so my eating calories were really low. Might have a little gain but I'm hoping not!
April 24th: 169.3 So happy to see the 160's 😀. Still keeping up with my goals each day. I feel like the loss was a little slow this week but it's still a loss. Today is my youngest boy's 6th birthday. We will celebrate Saturday and there will be pizza and cake. These kinds of things do make me nervous because I know it can set me back for days but I plan to still keep up with my calorie goals.
May 8th: 166.9 😀 It's nice to pull out clothes that were too tight last year. I tried on the only bathing suit that I kept from last year and it was too big. Ordered me a new one and I love the way it fits. I'm now at a 31 lb loss since last October. Pushing through and keeping up with my goals each day!
May 15th: 166.9 Got down a little lower several days ago. Lots of days with out to eat and fast food. Busy time of the year for us, which makes it harder for me to plan good meals. Still kept in my calories most of the week.
May 22nd: DNW- beach vacation
May 29th: 167.5 Little gain from not tracking and my food/drink choices at the beach.

December Ending Weight 164I'll weigh in on Saturdays to be on the same day as my other challenges (and the last day of the month).
Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
Jan 6: 162.8 😁
Jan 13: 162 😁
Jan 20: 161 😁
Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.
Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds
Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month
Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds
Mar 2: 156.8
Mar 9: 154.8 😁
Mar 16: 154.2 😁
Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
Mar 30: 152.6 😁
Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds
Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
April 30: 151.6
Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound
May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get thre results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!

06/03-184.6-(Trend Weight: 185.2)- Not too bad of a day yesterday. I stayed within calorie though my carbs were over target. I used the exercise bike for 32 minutes and I did a lot of deep cleaning in the house. Up today on the scale but its probably catching up to the binges/splurges I had on night time snacks recently. Today I may head out of town for the planned trip of shopping. It depends when my drywall guy gets done for the day. I hate to go because I know that lunch or dinner will be out and it will just be another day of a heavier weight on the scale tomorrow. A rollercoaster I’d like to stop. However, I really would like to go and get it out of the way. The projects they are starting will keep them later the rest of the week. Regardless, I know I’ll be right back on top of my plan in the days following so I suppose it is what it is. Have a great week everyone. Crush it!

The Plan (so far):
[Reestablishing my earlier habits]
1. Weigh myself, record, and reflect daily
2. Track all food prior to eating (except my standard breakfast, which I can record before lunch.
SW 1/1/2016 228
In a maintenance: over 5 years until extreme stress May 2023 followed by a severe fracture.) Motivated to get to 166 by the New Year. (about 2lbs per month) I felt better before & carrying less weight should be easier on my body.
6/3 179.1 (gained wt last month with visitors & my addiction to eating out) Time to address this!

May 15th: 166.9 Got down a little lower several days ago. Lots of days with out to eat and fast food. Busy time of the year for us, which makes it harder for me to plan good meals. Still kept in my calories most of the week.
May 22nd: DNW- beach vacation
May 29th: 167.5 Little gain from not tracking and my food/drink choices at the beach.
June 5th: 166.0 Back on track, yay!1 -

I'll weigh in on Saturdays to be on the same day as my other challenges (and the last day of the month).
Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
Jan 6: 162.8 😁
Jan 13: 162 😁
Jan 20: 161 😁
Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.
Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds
Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month
Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds
Mar 2: 156.8
Mar 9: 154.8 😁
Mar 16: 154.2 😁
Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
Mar 30: 152.6 😁
Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds
Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
April 30: 151.6
Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound
May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get thre results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!
Total lost in May - 2 Pounds
June 8: 146.2 😁 Great week. I bought two weeks of Nutrisystem food. They were having a free month of their advantage (a la carte) plan, so I thought I would give it a try to boost my slow loss the last couple of months. I started at the end of May. Could I do it long term? - absolutely not - I love to cook and the food is already getting boring. But it worked. I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.
