    Super late to this, but excited to have some much-needed accountability and support! I used to be better about healthy eating and exercising, and have really gotten off track in the last couple of months (and am feeling it in my body and especially in my migraines).

    •Lose 5 lbs in April 2019•

    March 2019 - Gain/Loss

    Original starting wgt: 253
    April starting weight: 177
    April goal: 170
    ☔Updating every day through April.

    •Monday Updates•📌

    📌April 1 - 177 - Ate something I shouldn't have and now have inflammation in joints😩
    4/2 - 174.6
    4/3 - 175.4⬅ abs workout yesterday, glutes today, so who knows what tmrw will bring
    4/4 - 174 - I worked out with my Niece yesterday. She doesn't look forward to glute workouts, but I do! Lol. We got through it. Need to stretch and walk out the soreness today.
    4/5- 176.8 - Probably 175.8 I drank 16ozs of water just before weighing. Still holding fluid from butt and leg workout. Muscles are still on a low hum😃 My knee told me, unh-unh yesterday, so no walk. It was feeling unstable. Stretching and balance exercises accomplished.
    4/6 - 175.8
    4/7 - 177.4 - Not surprised. I was not hungry for my first meal until the 19 hour mark (2pm) I don't fast on Saturdays. I did an arm and shoulder workout at 10:30pm and felt hungry afterwards. So I ate again at 12am!

    📌4/8 - 178 - Everything I ate contributed to my carb count. I broke my fast at 2:30pm and "dinner" was 2 brownies, which took me from 29g to 85g. Why did I eat them? Just not in the mood for more savory flavors. I certainly wasn't hungry.
    4/9 - 178.2
    4/10 - 176.8 - up and down. Down please.
    4/11 - 176.2 - Yesterday was my last day for eating peanut butter. I'm going to see if that is the last thing to eliminate to break away from my "stabilized" weight.

    4/12 - 178.2 - This is from eating at midnight. Not overeating or late night snacking. I just wasn't hungry enough to eat the rest of my food until then. This is the 3rd time in a two a week period, that I have not been hungry until very late in the day. I don't know what that's about, but I don't like it.

    📌4/15
    📌4/22
    📌4/29

    I skipped two days of workout and gym last week. No weight loss or gain. I am ok with that. I have stuck to my diet. I do three short workouts at home daily and visit the gym 3-4 times a week. I have one rest day per week. I hope to see a drop in weight for next weigh in of 1-2 lbs.

    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191

    March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
    February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs


    March 31 - 172.8
    April 02 - Tuesday - 174.1
    April 03 - 173.0
    April 04 - 171.6 - I was 170.9 on March 30th I have been dropping my calories from 1200 to 1100 so far this month, I am not satisfied with working so diligently to lose only a pound a month. There was bonus skating yesterday which seems to remove all of my excess water (and stress) and burns lots of calories, so a 1.4 loss in a day is likely due to that.
    April 05 - 170.9
    April 06 - 170.0 !!
    April 07 - 171.6 - Expected, very small deficit yesterday
    April 08 - 171.1 - Monday. Okay with that. Tuesday mornings is 4am for me, and my weight is always up because it is too darned early. I may still weigh tomorrow morning, but won't be upset if it is high.
    April 10 - 171.6 - Wednesday. I had a tough time getting in enough calories yesterday, I am on soft food for 3 weeks until I get a crown on my tooth. This is going to really change up what I eat, crunchy foods are out.
    April 11 - 169.3!!!! I am not getting too excited. Skating yesterday : - ) I am working out of town today and they have skating there today too : - )
    April 12 - 168.6 - All of that calorie deficit in February and March might finally be showing up, plateau gave way. 2 skates only coming up in the next 2 weeks, all of the other towns are now closed for the season (coulndn't skate yesterday). Guess I am trading in my blades for squatting, bending, pushing, lunging, and pulling in the garden. I do dance aerobics and Zumba daily from Youtube, but really don't get the same effect as skating, nor can I sustain it for as much time. I hope to stay in the 160s for a few months and not get back up into the 170s which lasted for almost 4 months. 2 full months of upping my water intake, have to try to keep that up.
    April 13 - 168.3
    April 14 - 169.0 - I am not managing to get in enough exercise. I will fix that.


    Running loss/gain - loss 3.8

    April goal - 235
    Ultimate goal - 160

    1st - 241
    8th - 240.6 (not too bad considering new exercise regimen)
    15th - 241.2 (I did C25K week 3 day 1 yesterday and a long walk after, so I think it's water weight from muscles + I ate supper at around 9 PM so I think tomorrow weight would be more representative (fingers crossed))

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    March 31 starting weight - 142.8 (ten-day rolling average weight 143.2)
    March goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).


    March 31 - 142.8 (143.2)
    April 1 - 143.6 (143.4)
    April 8 - 146.8 (143.5)
    April 15 - 144.8 (143.5)
    April 22 -
    April 29 -
    April 30

    Total loss for April: Scale says I gained two pounds and that puts me in the middle of my maintenance range. My ten day average is up 0.2 pounds and is a half pound over my goal weight. While my average weight has been pretty stable, I am seeing three pound swings up and down. I don't want to gain it back!

    I am not surprised at all with today's uptick. I got to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while, so I expect muscle recovery to add some weight. Then I treated myself to a huge slice of pizza with caramelized onions, bacon, and roasted potato. That probably would have fit, but they made it wrong (roasted red pepper instead of potato). They boxed that one up, and I put it in my bike bag and brought it home to save for lunch. Of course it never made it into the fridge.... Then I got up about 3:00 terribly thirsty from all the salt in the pizza and I guzzled two pints of water. Yep. I pounded two pounds of water a couple hours before I get up and weigh. So we'll see how I weigh in tomorrow and Wednesday.

    I am still participating in this monthly weight loss challenge even though I'm in my goal range. I'm also participating in a maintenance challenge.

    So far not too good. But I will keep at it and see what happens.
    Looks like I may make 5lbs, but not my overly ambitious 10.
