Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.
March goals:
* broaden my scope of healthy meals to include more substantial plant based recipes
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb- it's working well for me
* this is a big birthday month- enjoy all the celebrations, keep moderation in mind!

3/18: 116.6 I didnβt think I was too off track yesterday, but something clearly isnβt working.

I might look into some of these upcoming challenges though since I thrive on reward!
3/19: 116.4 Well under calories yesterday so I was hoping for more, but itβs a start in the right direction. Happy Spring Equinox! (Though it sure doesnβt feel like it here! π₯Ά)3 -

03/18-180.4-(Trend Weight 180.4)- Down almost one pound so I am happy to see that. Itβs unusual for my scale weight and my trend weight to be exactly the same. Iβve got to get that trend weight trending back down or Iβll never get out of the 170βs and get to cross off pink and get to purple on my chart above. What a glorious day that would be. I havenβt weighed in the 160βs in about 25 years!
03/19-179.4-(Trend Weight 180.3)- Man Alive! Iβve been so hungry for these past few weeks. I just canβt seem to get full! When you see a drop of weight on me its because I am going to bed STARVING, even after my snacks. The foods that used to help fill me up like avocado or nuts for a snack doesnβt even TOUCH my hunger. I am eating my normal βdiet approvedβ meals and leaving the table hungry. It just doesnβt make any sense. And itβs not exercise causing it because Iβve done little to nothing these past couple of weeks to cause extra burn or extra hunger. I really feel like Iβm at War, Armageddon right now. The good news is the scale is down a bit this morning and I have an NSV to report. I baked some cookies for my work crew yesterday. A very small batch to ensure no leftovers. I walked past that plate all day until they were eventually gone. Iβm so proud of myself for not grabbing a handful and somehow justifying it. Yay Me! Thatβs SUGAR yaβll that I had available and didnβt eat!

@deepwoodslady I know you probably thought of this already - but perhaps your actually thirsty? And congrats on passing up those cookies by the way!

From NY finger lakes region
SW 02/04/24 - 191.3
UGW 09/08/24 - 145
CW 03/01/24 - 184.9
I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!
March goals:
Continue slow and steady lifestyle changes....

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. πI wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. π

March starting weight: 156.8
ππͺ MARCH πͺπMarch 01: 156.4 π π£ π πͺ π¦ Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.Mar 15: 154.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
March 2: 156.8 π£ π π«π¦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 4: 156.8 π£ π π₯π«π¦ It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 5: 156 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.
March 6: 155.6 π π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦ I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦
Mar 10: 154.2 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2π π₯ πͺ π¦ Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 π£ π π₯π«π¦ I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 π£ π π₯π«π¦ There is that number again! π Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 16: 154.2 π£ π π₯π« π¦ And there it is again!
Mar 17: ππ153.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles. Mar 18: 153π π£ π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ Just another quiet day at home - took a walk in AM and hung around the house the rest of the day. I have been on a motivation roll lately and it shows on the scale. I have tracked and stayed under my calorie range every day in March. I wondered why - then it hit me. I haven't had any social situations in March. No out to dinner, no parties, no trips, even missed Bingo a couple weeks. Just plain day to day life - kind of boring - but I'll take it this month. I got in a yoga workout yesterday (not my favorite) and a 10 minute cardio.This was a fun one that someone on my Biggest Loser Team suggested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTTXIqUbJMMar 19: 154.2 π£ π₯ πͺ π¦ Salty day, over on my calorie goal, brownie at Bingo put me back to that number again. Today will be a hard day - going to a funeral this morning; my best friend's sister passed away so will be away all day. Going to jump on the treadmill before we go, but getting my step goal may be a stretch today.
Mar 20: 153.4 π£ π π₯π«π¦ Got home earlier than we thought, so we took a nice 3 mile walk down the Airline Trail - Monty was happy. Had lunch at the funeral and made some good and some not so good choices. The dinner side was the good - a small piece of chicken, a small piece of roast beef (they were swimming in sauce), about a 1/4 cup of rice and the salad. BUT the dessert - I did take a half slice of carrot cake. Drank a lot of water - and had a light dinner at home. Was happy to see a decrease today.

03/19-179.4-(Trend Weight 180.3)- Man Alive! Iβve been so hungry for these past few weeks. I just canβt seem to get full! When you see a drop of weight on me its because I am going to bed STARVING, even after my snacks. The foods that used to help fill me up like avocado or nuts for a snack doesnβt even TOUCH my hunger. I am eating my normal βdiet approvedβ meals and leaving the table hungry. It just doesnβt make any sense. And itβs not exercise causing it because Iβve done little to nothing these past couple of weeks to cause extra burn or extra hunger. I really feel like Iβm at War, Armageddon right now. The good news is the scale is down a bit this morning and I have an NSV to report. I baked some cookies for my work crew yesterday. A very small batch to ensure no leftovers. I walked past that plate all day until they were eventually gone. Iβm so proud of myself for not grabbing a handful and somehow justifying it. Yay Me! Thatβs SUGAR yaβll that I had available and didnβt eat!
03/20-177.0-(Trend Weight 180.0)- Wow, what an overnight drop! I believe this number because my calories and carbs were very low yesterday. But I donβt know that it will stick around when Iβm closer to my normal macros and plan. Cold and snowy here today. Winds are really howling and causing blizzard like effects. I do have to go out once today for some things my work crew needs for the reno, but after that Iβll be hunkering down!

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. πI wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. π

March starting weight: 156.8
ππͺ MARCH πͺπMarch 01: 156.4 π π£ π πͺ π¦ Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.Mar 15: 154.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
March 2: 156.8 π£ π π«π¦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 4: 156.8 π£ π π₯π«π¦ It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 5: 156 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.
March 6: 155.6 π π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦ I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦
Mar 10: 154.2 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2π π₯ πͺ π¦ Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 π£ π π₯π«π¦ I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 π£ π π₯π«π¦ There is that number again! π Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 16: 154.2 π£ π π₯π« π¦ And there it is again!
Mar 17: ππ153.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles. Mar 18: 153π π£ π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ Just another quiet day at home - took a walk in AM and hung around the house the rest of the day. I have been on a motivation roll lately and it shows on the scale. I have tracked and stayed under my calorie range every day in March. I wondered why - then it hit me. I haven't had any social situations in March. No out to dinner, no parties, no trips, even missed Bingo a couple weeks. Just plain day to day life - kind of boring - but I'll take it this month. I got in a yoga workout yesterday (not my favorite) and a 10 minute cardio.This was a fun one that someone on my Biggest Loser Team suggested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTTXIqUbJMMar 19: 154.2 π£ π₯ πͺ π¦ Salty day, over on my calorie goal, brownie at Bingo put me back to that number again. Today will be a hard day - going to a funeral this morning; my best friend's sister passed away so will be away all day. Going to jump on the treadmill before we go, but getting my step goal may be a stretch today.
Mar 20: 153.4 π£ π π₯π«π¦ Got home earlier than we thought, so we took a nice 3 mile walk down the Airline Trail - Monty was happy. Had lunch at the funeral and made some good and some not so good choices. The dinner side was the good - a small piece of chicken, a small piece of roast beef (they were swimming in sauce), about a 1/4 cup of rice and the salad. BUT the dessert - I did take a half slice of carrot cake. Drank a lot of water - and had a light dinner at home. Was happy to see a decrease today.
Mar 21: 154 π£ π πͺ π¦Tough day yesterday. Even though I met my step goal, it was all inside. Monty went for a grooming so was away all morning - we thought we would go when he got home. But, he was so nervous from the grooming that he had diarrhea so we didn't go. Then we got subway for dinner, not a bad thing - just salty. But then I guess that wasn't as satifying as a good piece of protein and some veggies because when I went to be I was hungry. Couldn't sleep because my tummy was grumbling. Got up and ate, and not good things. I'm still on track for my weekly calorie goal - but need to rail it in to meet it.

@Rh1aB1a I feel like that sometimes too; every month I think about just doing the yearly (especially at the end of the month)- but then I keep coming back. I'm afraid if I don't check in I will revert to my old ways. I may join you with the weekly weigh in, but check in daily with all my goals. π
@deepwoodslady Congrats on the drop, and sorry about the Winter weather! Stay warm. βοΈ

03/20-177.0-(Trend Weight 180.0)- Wow, what an overnight drop! I believe this number because my calories and carbs were very low yesterday. But I donβt know that it will stick around when Iβm closer to my normal macros and plan. Cold and snowy here today. Winds are really howling and causing blizzard like effects. I do have to go out once today for some things my work crew needs for the reno, but after that Iβll be hunkering down!
03/21-180.6-(Trend Weight 180.0)- Wow! I knew when I threw it up against the wall yesterday it probably wouldnβt stick! All the way back up to the beginning of the round. I spent yesterday on the computer again shopping and searching for renovation items. Only a little over 3000 steps in for the day! I did focus on rehydrating. I got in lots of water so that is probably part of my very mean and hateful new number. We will see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully it is the happy medium.

20. 156.0 Y'all, I don't know if daily weighing is good for me. The fluctuations are too much and I find myself getting discouraged when I log and the weight jumps back up. I think I'm going to finish the month out (I like to complete things) and then move to once a week weigh in's for April.
21. 156.6 Late weigh in today.5 -
@nwsocal I've been watching your journey - quite an inspiration. Here's to hitting Onderland; I remember when I got there - such a wonderful feeling.
