Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

04/10-181.6-(Trend Weight 181.7)- I’m still waiting for my family doctor to call me for the follow-up appointment. Things are unchanged, about the same as yesterday. I watched every B-L-T yesterday and it helped the scale today. I must say, I never thought I would miss my exercise routine but sitting or laying with my feet up is getting old.
04/11-179.6-(Trend Weight 181.5)- Well, here I am – settled back down into that comfortable space of the high 170’s. I’ve been sitting here for a bit longer that I’d hoped due to setback after setback. I’m still grateful to have hit the 170’s but it’s time to start making some serious progress toward the lower 170’s and inch my way into the 160’s. Maybe if I stay quiet, tip-toe even, maybe the universe won’t see me and I can claim the 160’s as mine by the 4th of July. Yesterday I was hungry all day. I tried something new. I ate part of my lunch earlier than usual then finished it at regular time. I did the same with dinner, eating my side between lunch and dinner then my entrée at normal time. I saved my snacks for night, otherwise it would have been a snack binge-fest. It seemed to have worked pretty well. I’ve got to start changing my mindset that I must be stuffed full to stop eating. It’s okay to be satisfied. Food for fuel, right?

4/11: 114.4 It’s supposed to be gorgeous today for the first time in a very long time. We’re binging the new Fallout series that just released, but at the very least I will try to sit by the open window and exercise a little if I don’t get outside after work!2 -

MFP told me last night that I wasn't eating enough. I'm trying, but when you're sick, you're sick. Going to start sipping some bone broth throughout the day, to see if that will help with my nausea, and give me a few more calories to track.4 -

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. This challenge is the first I signed up for on MFP, so it holds a very special place in my heart. 💖 This month is a year with some of these amazing people. 💖 I am so thankful for their support and accountability.
My Goals for April
⚖️ Lose 2% of my body weight - changing my goal this month, my 4 pounds per month is getting really difficult now that I almost to my goal weight - but still am going to try to get that 4 pounds!
👣 Average 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range
💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
🧘♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
🫀 Aerobics 3 days per week
💦 6+ glasses of water
📖 Putting this one back in there - read almost every day
🧂Stay Under 2400 mg of sodium daily
👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 🫀💦📖 🧂

April Starting Weight: 152.8
🌈April 🌈🌷b]April 1: 152.8 [/b]👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 I love the beginning of a new month. Feels like a fresh new start; a clean slate. I have noticed a pattern in my weight loss. I do fantastic the first week of every month, then I kind of get lazy and for two weeks and the weight loss slows. Then I see the end of the month coming; and Yikes - only one week to finish my goals. I usually finish out the month strong. This month I'm hoping to skip that laziness in the middle of the month. Keep me to it!
April 2: 152.4 😁👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 I added a new goal to my monthly, I will post whether I was under my daily sodium goal. It has huge affect on my daily weight flucuations, so if I am accountable for it, maybe I won't abuse it so much. Had a good night with Mom at bingo, she won (always a good thing), and I won twice last night. Had a brownie - put me over my calorie limit.
[/quote]
April 3: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️🫀💦 🧂 Silly me, I looked back at my entries - they should have been 152.x not 154.x. I guess I was stuck in that 154 range for so long last month it just got stuck in my brain. I fixed them. Dentist appointment this morning - not my favorite.
April 4: 151.6 151.6 👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 Busy day ahead today. We have to bring the car in for it's oil change. Then off to Sams Club for shopping. Then the grocery store to pick up all that we need for our Easter celebration this weekend. It's going to be rainy (and snow) day today, so inside walks and a HIIT workout are on the schedule. Then tonight going to a fundraiser for the Women's club/Firehouse. Hoping I won't binge too much.
April 5: 152.2 👣 📝 🫀💦 It's what I expected, had a little too much fun last night and the salt gets me everytime. I estimated and logged what I think I had - and MFP says I am under my calorie goal, but I'm not counting it as completed. I did manage to meet my exercise goals yesterday. Today's goal - get my outside walk (it's blue sky today), then some strength training, and a little treadmill tonight. I made a vow that I wouldn't watch any of "my" shows unless I was on the treadmill. I'm binge watching Jane the Virgin, and I have an episode of Ghosts that are calling my name.
April 6: 153 👣 📝 💪 🧘♀️ 💦📖 I had a little set back yesterday - I think the thought of Easter preparations, and the small trip for two days led me to self sabatoge. Over on my calories, and sodium - not a good combination. I did track it though.
April 7: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 🧂 Not the right direction, but I will get back there. I'll be away for the next couple days and then giving myself a couple days to get rid of the excess vacatioin weight before I weigh in (don't want to know). Celebrating Easter with family today - then off until Tuesday night. See you beautiful people when I return!
April 8: DNW 📖 Only goal I met was logging. Estimated serving sizes and picked the best option I could find for the things I didn't make.
April 9: DNW 📝 💦📖 Away - drank a lot of water, read a lot in the car, logged (estimations again).
April 10: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦📖 🧂Well that was a pleasant surprise this morning. I expected to be up from before I left - but I was SO careful yesterday. Still way up from my lowwest 151.6 - now it is time to get serious for the remainder of the month. For now - the only obstacle I see is me.
April 10: 152.8 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 🧂Another day on plan - creeping back. I really want to get out of this decade this month. I have been here for 3 months already. It's time!
April 11: 152.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦📖 Pretty good day, met most of my goals. I did go over the sodium limit, but only by a smidge.

@deepwoodslady - Congrats on the 70's. I know you don't count it until you get down a few more pounds - but I thinking it will stick. A lot of people say a little bit all day long is the proper way to eat. Maybe this will work for you. A least worth a a try! This whole losing weight thing is all about trying new things and seeing what fits for you. Then when you find something that fits - it works for a bit and then you have to find something new again. I don't think that our bodies like to get bored! LOL!4

04/12-180.4-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I am not completely sure of why there is such an uptick. I’m sure that staying off my foot and getting very little movement and exercise is not helping. I have only been in the 3000 step range per day for about a week now and have only hit my 250 steps per hour on my fitbit 1 time out of 13 for 5 straight days in a row. Not burning calories I suppose is the main culprit. Yesterday I ate 1195 calories and 74 carbs. It was a good day. Another cold rainy day here in northern Michigan. Winds are expected to be quite severe today. Overall, no sun and very depressing. I’ve pre-logged my food and I expect today to be a good dietary day. I may try the exercise bike today as the foot is improving but still swollen. Dr. finally called. I can’t get in for two weeks! It will be healed by then and I guess I’ll never get answers. But we’ll at least go over that wonky blood work.

Hello April 🌱! I’m Kat, 32, 5’1”. SW (Feb.): 122.6 Lost so far: 7 lbs UGW: ~105

4/11: 114.4 It’s supposed to be gorgeous today for the first time in a very long time. We’re binging the new Fallout series that just released, but at the very least I will try to sit by the open window and exercise a little if I don’t get outside after work!
4/12: 113.8 I got outside yesterday for a little bit. Beautiful but windy today. I've been having constant dreams that I'm still at work just working all night long in my dreams and wake up exhausted, so I can't deny I'm dealing with burnout. That will be my priority this weekend, not sure what will work, but I will try a bit of everything and see what helps.5 -

I feel just a tiny bit better today. I was able to eat a little more substantial food for supper last night, so I'm thankful. Hopefully I'm finally on the mend.6 -

I found MFP in March, and this group in April. This challenge is the first I signed up for on MFP, so it holds a very special place in my heart. 💖 This month is a year with some of these amazing people. 💖 I am so thankful for their support and accountability.

April Starting Weight: 152.8
🌈April 🌈🌷b]April 1: 152.8 [/b]👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 I love the beginning of a new month. Feels like a fresh new start; a clean slate. I have noticed a pattern in my weight loss. I do fantastic the first week of every month, then I kind of get lazy and for two weeks and the weight loss slows. Then I see the end of the month coming; and Yikes - only one week to finish my goals. I usually finish out the month strong. This month I'm hoping to skip that laziness in the middle of the month. Keep me to it!
April 2: 152.4 😁👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 I added a new goal to my monthly, I will post whether I was under my daily sodium goal. It has huge affect on my daily weight flucuations, so if I am accountable for it, maybe I won't abuse it so much. Had a good night with Mom at bingo, she won (always a good thing), and I won twice last night. Had a brownie - put me over my calorie limit.
April 3: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️🫀💦 🧂 Silly me, I looked back at my entries - they should have been 152.x not 154.x. I guess I was stuck in that 154 range for so long last month it just got stuck in my brain. I fixed them. Dentist appointment this morning - not my favorite.
April 4: 151.6 151.6 👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 Busy day ahead today. We have to bring the car in for it's oil change. Then off to Sams Club for shopping. Then the grocery store to pick up all that we need for our Easter celebration this weekend. It's going to be rainy (and snow) day today, so inside walks and a HIIT workout are on the schedule. Then tonight going to a fundraiser for the Women's club/Firehouse. Hoping I won't binge too much.
April 5: 152.2 👣 📝 🫀💦 It's what I expected, had a little too much fun last night and the salt gets me everytime. I estimated and logged what I think I had - and MFP says I am under my calorie goal, but I'm not counting it as completed. I did manage to meet my exercise goals yesterday. Today's goal - get my outside walk (it's blue sky today), then some strength training, and a little treadmill tonight. I made a vow that I wouldn't watch any of "my" shows unless I was on the treadmill. I'm binge watching Jane the Virgin, and I have an episode of Ghosts that are calling my name.
April 6: 153 👣 📝 💪 🧘♀️ 💦📖 I had a little set back yesterday - I think the thought of Easter preparations, and the small trip for two days led me to self sabatoge. Over on my calories, and sodium - not a good combination. I did track it though.
April 7: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 🧂 Not the right direction, but I will get back there. I'll be away for the next couple days and then giving myself a couple days to get rid of the excess vacatioin weight before I weigh in (don't want to know). Celebrating Easter with family today - then off until Tuesday night. See you beautiful people when I return!
April 8: DNW 📖 Only goal I met was logging. Estimated serving sizes and picked the best option I could find for the things I didn't make.
April 9: DNW 📝 💦📖 Away - drank a lot of water, read a lot in the car, logged (estimations again).
April 10: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦📖 🧂Well that was a pleasant surprise this morning. I expected to be up from before I left - but I was SO careful yesterday. Still way up from my lowwest 151.6 - now it is time to get serious for the remainder of the month. For now - the only obstacle I see is me.
April 10: 152.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦📖 🧂Another day on plan - creeping back. I really want to get out of this decade this month. I have been here for 3 months already. It's time!
April 11: 152.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦📖 Pretty good day, met most of my goals. I did go over the sodium limit, but only by a smidge.
April 12: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗 🫀 💦📖 Going for our monthly visit to Greg's cousin. Will be away most of the day and lunch with her. I'll be careful. I worked too hard this week to get back to this number to give it up now.

04/11-179.6-(Trend Weight 181.5)-
04/12-180.4-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I am not completely sure of why there is such an uptick. I’m sure that staying off my foot and getting very little movement and exercise is not helping. I have only been in the 3000 step range per day for about a week now and have only hit my 250 steps per hour on my fitbit 1 time out of 13 for 5 straight days in a row. Not burning calories I suppose is the main culprit. Yesterday I ate 1195 calories and 74 carbs. It was a good day. Another cold rainy day here in northern Michigan. Winds are expected to be quite severe today. Overall, no sun and very depressing. I’ve pre-logged my food and I expect today to be a good dietary day. I may try the exercise bike today as the foot is improving but still swollen. Dr. finally called. I can’t get in for two weeks! It will be healed by then and I guess I’ll never get answers. But we’ll at least go over that wonky blood work.
04/13-181.2-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I got into that Christmas chocolate buried in the garage freezer last night. The cravings were HORRID. I’ll choose a lower calorie/carb day today on the zig-zag plan to help make up for it and balance my calories for the week a little better. Water, water, water also. I’ve been avoiding too much thinking it would add to the foot swelling.
