Hi, happy to be back for the February challenge, January was my first ever.
Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.

Starting this week with a big drop, but looking at the pattern. I was a little worried that I was losing too quickly (not eating enough calories) and I'm still trying to fine-tune that balance. Eating whole grains, lots of veggies and some fruit every day, good protein and healthy fats for the most part (limiting cheese and using olive oil, little butter). The numbers look good on paper so not sure what I need to adjust yet. I saw a registered nutritionist last week and am tracking for health as well as loss.5 -

Tired of only losing an ounce a week. I'm making a lot of effort for not much return. I have increased my exercise and change the routine to do aerobics in the morning instead of yoga. I got two-pound weights to hold during the routine and I can feel it. I hate it.5

@sammcc7907 I hope the results will be something positive. Sending positive thoughts.
I've been using weightgrapher .com, and last week went back to historically add my weight. That visual is flat out depressing. So I've planned out meals for today; tomorrow I'll go stock up on more salad things for the next couple of days -- we have been doing salads, but I know * well those croutons are a pitfall. I've made jello for dessert, so we don't snack on anything else. And I'm going to splurge on tea so I drink that instead of snacking. I'm still exercising, so I know I have to get the food portion of my life under control. One step at a time here. I am going to get this show back on track.3 -

Have you taken a close look at what and how much you're eating? You may be able to make low-effort adjustments to your diet that would speed up your weight loss without having to change up your exercise routine. Whatever path you choose, good luck!3 -
Hi All!!!
So I slacked off last the last two or so weeks of January.... I stopped logging and checking in, and ate a lot more freely; however I did not gain. This is good.
This is the month that I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, whatever that is, LOL. I'm starting the month at 126.8 pounds; my goal will probably be somewhere around 123-125. I'm hoping to know when I get there. Just to have a concrete goal to shoot for, let's say it's 124.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for February: 124.0 lbs
February 1: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 2: 128.0 Hopefully just a temporary gain from our big meal last night.
February 3: 128.2 💗 I logged
February 4: 127.8
February 5: 126.6 Phew!!

Feb 5 - 83.5kg - 9km incline walk - 3 yrs ago I joined this group and then my husband got throat cancer. Not a good time to try to diet 🙃. He is good now. So I joined again. A week ago my daughter presented with the same symptoms. We are off to get some results tomorrow ❤️. Still not a good time to diet but I am going to try, if only because that is something I can control
@sammcc7907 Sending prayers for your daughter's diagnosis. Stay strong.4 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from 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!

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.

02/03-182.6-(Trend Weight 182.8)-
02/04-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I was awoken this morning by a surprise visitor so I didn’t remember to take my scale into the bathroom to weigh. It is likely that the scale is up due to the homemade chicken noodle soup and fluid retention from yesterday. It usually happens after I make that pasta-rich soup. I had more for lunch today since I had plenty to offer my visitor. I’ve been pushing water all day which I may also retain temporarily but is much needed to flush away the sodium eventually. I hope you all have been enjoying your Sunday wherever you are. Here in northern Michigan it hit the upper 40’s and was sunny and unusually warm and wonderful for an early February!
02/05-184.6-(Trend Weight 183.2)- This has been a horrible last few days with me really going out on a rail. I made homemade chicken noodle soup to last a few days. I really didn’t need that pasta that was in it. I was totally triggered for carbs and more carbs which is pretty dangerous for my diabetes and doesn’t help my weight since diabetics tend to store it as belly fat. I know what I have to do but doing it is the hard part. But there is one thing harder, and that’s doing it consistently. Win some, lose some. Right now I’m losing lots of some.

Last night I had a fever and flu-like symptoms. So, this morning's weight loss is likely dehydration. I Slept about 4 hours in the middle of the day. I never do that but my body just shut down today. My wife and I both tested negative for Covid. I'm feeling much better this evening. This is not a good strategy for weight loss.

Get back down to under 200 pounds
Starting weight 2/1 ⚖️ 214.8
2/2 ⚖️ 215.6. ✍️ way over calories for the day. Logged it all. Putting my food in the diary this morning helped lift the weight off my shoulders and start today fresh. The popcorn probably ∆ my weight today.
2/3 ⚖️ 216.1 logged my food. Feeling pretty defeated today✍️ good logged
2/4 ⚖️ 215.1 lbs. Decreased my daily calorie parameters, and shut off calorie adjustment for exercise. ✍️ Food log and journal up to date
2/5 ⚖️ 216.1. how did I miss checking in??
2/6 ⚖️ 214.6 annual exam today, ugh. Splurged on a new journal, and set it up for the first week. Also splurged on a McDouble cheeseburger. Fit it into my meal plan for the day. Stayed within my calorie, protein, carb, fat and sodium goals. ✍️ Food log and journal complete6 -

January loss 1.2kg - 2.6lbs
😎 FEBRUARY 😎
Feb 1 - 84kg - not the best start as went up in weight. Working through a triggering health scare for my daughter and we don’t get results until Tuesday. Needless to say, I ate and drank my emotions last night. Will go for a beach walk with hubby after work today.
Feb 2 - 83:7kg - no walk and over my calories. Will continue to log
Feb 3 - 83.7kg - 9km walk with hubby and lunch at a winery with friends I haven’t seen in months. Think I did ok calorie wise but it is definitely a slow start to the month
Feb 4 - 83.6kg - 9km beach walk.
Feb 5 - 83.5kg - 9km incline walk - 3 yrs ago I joined this group and then my husband got throat cancer. Not a good time to try to diet 🙃. He is good now. So I joined again. A week ago my daughter presented with the same symptoms. We are off to get some results tomorrow ❤️. Still not a good time to diet but I am going to try, if only because that is something I can control
Feb 6 - 83.7 - 7km treadmill incline. Ultrasound and Bloods came back negative. She is now booked in for a neck biopsy. Surely lightning can’t hit twice
Thank you for the kind wishes. I actual feel a bit better. I think I just had to say/type the Cancer word and now can deal with. Will be much better once we have a diagnosis6 -

Sleep: 9.4 hrs
Weight: 65 kg

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a while now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

Feb 1: DNW 📝 💦
Feb 2: DNW 📝 💦 Stiil traveling, scheduled to arrive tonight. Eating terribly on drive down, sure I'll be up from my ending Jan tomorrow.
Feb 3: 160.6 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Not as bad as I expected. We arrived in Florida, my home for the next 7 days. Beautiful 70 degrees. We are kind of in the city and no treadmill, so think I will be doing most of my steps in front of youtube. We are going to conquer the Chain of Lakes Trail while we are here 4.7 miles
(one way).
Feb 4: 160.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Beautiful day yesterday. Took out AM walk, went to the thrift store and bought a food scale (forgot to pack mine), 8 shirts, 1pair of pants, and a golf club - all for under $15 dollars. Then our friends came to the house (we are staying in for a couple days while Monty adjusts to the new place). Played pinochle, played farkle, chatted, sat in the sun. Couldn't be any better. We got take out for lunch, but stayed within my calorie goal.
Feb 5: 159.6 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 It's temporary, but I'll take it. We have been staying in the first few days of our vacation so Monty can get used to the new digs - but we have a few outings scheduled in the next few days that will test my willpower! Had a nice day yesterday - working on the Chain of Lakes Trail - it is a lot different than what we are used to - but we will complete it. Basically a walk through the city of Winter Haven. Then we found a trail around Lake Wailes that was nicer for the afternoon. Hung out with the friends again, always a treat. Then watched Oppenheimer - which my husband has been dieing to see. I liked it a lot more than I expected, but am so glad we didn't see it in the movie theater - it's THREE hours long!
Feb 6: 160.2 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦Another beautiful day in Florida. We finished the Lake Wailes trail. One more day with Monty all day to make sure he was comfortable staying alone in a strange home. We think he will be fine. Today, Hubby is golfing this morning. I'm staying in, catching up on MFP, working out. Then we head to an oyster bar for lunch. This evening we are going out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle who winter in Florida and actually live one town over.
The view of the Lake Wailes from the trail:
Beware of the Gators - LOL!

Hi All!!!
So I slacked off last the last two or so weeks of January.... I stopped logging and checking in, and ate a lot more freely; however I did not gain. This is good.
This is the month that I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, whatever that is, LOL. I'm starting the month at 126.8 pounds; my goal will probably be somewhere around 123-125. I'm hoping to know when I get there. Just to have a concrete goal to shoot for, let's say it's 124.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for February: 124.0 lbs
February 1: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 2: 128.0 Hopefully just a temporary gain from our big meal last night.
February 3: 128.2 💗 I logged
February 4: 127.8
February 5: 126.6 Phew!!
February 6: 127.8 💗 I logged. OK, this first week of February is just going to suck as far as weight loss goes.

I have taken a close look. That's why I am here; to log every stupid bite I take. I even got out the measuring cup and scale. I'm frustrated and annoyed and depressed and nearly desperate. And hungry. So, so hungry.5 -
Another day of frustration but I am sticking it out another month and trying to build some muscle.6
