    I have been here for a while and try to figure out what keeps me from being successful when it comes to getting healthy and also what would be the tools I could use to keep me going.

    I cannot find my starting post from sometime January anymore so here's another one from today on:

    Feb. 11: 90.1 kg
    Feb. 18: 88.8 kg
    Feb. 25: 88.8 kg

    February Goal: 89 kg
    February Actual: 88.6 kg

    April Goal:

    Weight lost this week: gained 0.8 kg
    Challenge Weight loss goal: 5.2 kg
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge:

    Obviously, this week didn't go so well, I ate a lot and didn't care. There are too many things on my mind now but maybe realizing that my food intake is something I actually can control - when there is so much I cannot - will help to stay strong.

    It is easy to eat when you don't feel great as we think it will help or we will feel in control. But I try and way to myself will it change the situation or make me feel worse about something else. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But you are in control of this part of your life and your journey. Big hugs to you.

    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): I don't remember, many years and +/-
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 160.0

    Jan. 7: 160.0 - was 155 right before Christmas so a definite holiday bounce. Plus indulging in gluten which isn't good for me.
    Jan. 14: 156.4 - glad to lose the bloat from gluten and holiday indulgences.
    Jan. 21: 156.2 - irritating because yesterday I was 155.4...but I did have sugar and gluten over the weekend so really not a surprise to be +.
    Jan. 28: 161.0 - my own fault, lots of sugar and gluten last week. Complete fail for January but I will do well in February.

    January Goal: 155
    January Actual: 161

    Feb. 4: 156.0 - saw 155 yesterday but of course not this morning.
    Feb. 11:
    Feb. 18:
    Feb. 25: 158.4 - I've been AWOL the last 2 weeks. I could state reasons (aka excuses) but won't. The important thing is that I'm back.

    February Goal: 155
    February Actual:

    March 4: 155.0 - all right, I'll take it!
    March 11: 156.6 - I'm apparently doing an excellent job at maintenance, which is not what I'm trying to accomplish.

    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 167 lbs April 2018
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 146.2 lbs

    Jan. 7: 146.2 lbs
    Jan. 14: 148.8 lbs (alcohol and cake this weekend with not enough water)
    Jan. 21: 148.0 lbs Feeling extra fluffy lately. Not sure what combination is water weight and what is fat but either way I don't like it. Time to cut out the extra snacks and eat more veggies.
    Jan. 28: 147.8 lbs Didn't do so great this month. I've adjusted my goals for the rest of the challenge.

    January Goal: 144.2 lbs
    January Actual: 147.8 lbs :disappointed:

    Feb. 4: 148.2 lbs Let's hope I do better this month
    Feb. 11: 150 lbs I know what is causing the fluctuation, but it is still frustrating.
    Feb. 18: 151.6 lbs Ate all the things yesterday. Hoping I can get back on track.
    Feb. 25: 149.2 lbs Getting better.

    February Goal: 144 lbs
    February Actual: 149.2 lbs

    Mar. 4: 148.8 lbs Definitely not hitting my goal by the end of April.

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 159.8 (Jan 1st)

    Jan. 7: 156.2
    Jan. 14: 155.5
    Jan. 21: 155.8 (Dang football snacks!) Damage wasn't too bad. I can feel the water retention from all the sodium rich foods. Ok and a few drinks. LOL
    Jan. 28: 154.6 Much better :)

    January Goal:155
    January Actual: 154.6 (as of Jan 31st)

    Feb. 4: 154.5 (Too much Pizza, beer and cupcakes! Husband's birthday was the 2nd and Super Bowl the next day. I can't believe I didn't gain!!) We did workout both days before indulging! It helped!
    Feb. 11: 154.5 Busy week, taxes, winery with friends, lunches with family, I'll take it as a HUGE plus that I didn't gain anything. :)
    Feb. 18: 153.2 Back on track!
    Feb. 25: Vacation No access to scale.

    February Goal: 153 (I did this purposely as we are vacationing the end of Feb. I will still log, but I won't be cooking at all. We will be doing a lot of walking so hopefully that will keep the weight stable. Won't have time for the gym. Wish me luck!
    February Actual: 153

    Mar. 4: 153.9 (Not bad at all considering I haven't been to the gym in a week. Plus we just returned from vacation and I didn't log my food for a week!)

    HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER: 253 IN 2014/2015
    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 235.0 ON 1/11/2018

    I will be weighing on the 1st and last day of every month. All other weigh-ins will be on Mondays to help keep me accountable on the weekends 

    Jan 01: starting weight 185.5

    Jan 07: 183.6

    Jan 14: 183.4

    Jan 21: 185.4

    Jan 28: 186.7 Weight was higher at the start of my week. It is working it’s way back down with the help of the cardio dancing. Diet has been on point and I’m feeling really great right now. Travel coming up on Wednesday, so I dread the restaurant bump that is likely, but I plan on just dancing it away!

    Jan 31: 186.9


    JANUARY GOAL : 177.5
    JANUARY ACTUAL: 186.9
    ……………………………..TOTAL LOST IN JANUARY: 0 Gained 1.4


    Feb 01: 186.9
    Feb 04: 186.9
    Feb 11: 186.7
    Feb 18: 188.8 V-Day carbs & luncheon. Potluck dinner. Ugg. Lots of travel in the upcoming week so it won’t look so pretty either. I’ll try to do my best but all sitting + all restaurants = disaster. The math doesn’t lie.
    Feb 25: 188.6 Every little bit helps.
    Feb 28: 188.8 Too much travel & social engagements to have a steady schedule for eating or exercise.



    FEBRUARY GOAL : 172.5
    FEBRUARY ACTUAL: 188.8
    ……………………………..TOTAL LOST IN FEBRUARY : +2.1


    Mar 02: 188.8
    Mar 04: 189.2 The winter struggles are real.
    Mar 11: 186.6 Yay! I spent 3 of the days on an Egg Fast. I’m going to re-introduce normal Keto foods today to minimize gain & bloat. I’m feeling great right now! Tons of movement this past week too!

    My name is Trina

    Female 5'4.5" 53 years old
    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL):
    (Original MFP start 1/20/2016 199 lbs....lost about 23 lbs, maintained it about 6 months & regained)
    New MFP start date 6/10/2018 199 lbs. Have logged in every day since then. Not going to regain this time!!

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 154 lbs

    Jan. 7: 157.5 Going the wrong way. We had a party 1/5 and hopefully this is just water weight. TOM also came to visit !!?? (WTH?--hasn't been here for 6 months). Exercise has been good! Looking to post better numbers next week!
    Jan. 14: 153.5 Well. That's a bit better. Down .5 from starting weight, but might not make January goal!
    Jan. 21: 154 Bouncing around
    Jan. 28: 151.5

    January Goal: 149
    January Actual: 149 on 1/30 and 2/3

    Feb. 4: 151 -- I'll blame it on the super bowl, but honestly ate pretty well and no alchohol!
    Feb. 11: 150 -- Today the scale bounce between 149.5 and 150. Saw 149 once this week and 149.5 once.....
    Feb. 18: (TRAVELLING--NO WEIGH IN)
    Feb. 25: 148 -- This number is bouncing. I travelled for a week, and then got appendicitis. I was 146 before going into the hospital....but I think that the angry appendix and lack of appetite had something to do with that. Out of the exercise swing of things for at least another week!

    February Goal: -4 (145)
    February Actual: (-3.5) 148

    Mar. 4: 144 -- Still recovering from my appendicitis. I think this number reflects a week of sparse eating. Can't start exercising again til next week, although I did start walking again.


    Mar. 11: 144.5 -- I'm actually kind of happy that I'm not so far off my original goals. Not surprising that I'm up .5 because my sister was visiting and I did not eat perfectly, nor on plan.

    Feb. 11: 200.4 Not so good this week but that's okay I'll get back on track.
    Feb. 18: 200.4 Stayed the same but that is okay since I ate a lot of sugar and carbohydrates this week.
