Just give me one month - January 2020

Canadian living in Denmark. Did this for a month in August and then lost motivation when I hit a plateau and gained everything back and more since November. I'm struggling beyond belief to lost my last pregnancy weight from 2 years ago. I was 46 so I definitely see the difference in the ability to lose weight between this pregnancy and my earlier one in my 30's. I have about 25 lbs to go to pre-pregnancy weight.

Female; Age 48; 5'3"

Original starting weight Dec 2017:-180 pounds
January 2020 starting weight:- 163
Goal weight this month January 2020:- 160 lbs
Target goal weight:- 120lbs

Jan 10: 163
Jan 11: 161.6 - probably due to TOM yesterday. I can't seem to stop binging at night.
Jan 12: 159.9 - water weight I guess. I ate a lot so I don't think it reflects any weight loss.
Jan 13 - no weigh in
Jan 14. 161.0 - that's more realistic
Jan 15: 161.6 - Here we go again. I hate this
Jan 16: 160.8 - Better
Jan 17: 161.2 - Rollercoaster
Jan 18: 160.8 - Again! - at least the trend is downwards.
Jan 19: 160.2
Jan 20: 159.0 - Yay! I hope it's real weight loss and not just water ...and it sticks!
Jan 21: 159.6 - Hmmm. It's toying with me

Starting weight 182 lbs I then piled on weight due to steroids after having a stroke.
Start weight this month 204.2 lbs
Goal weight this month 200 lbs lbs
Target goal weight 155 lbs which is my pre stroke weight

(I use Happy Scale, so the losses above are determined by moving average. I will post my actual daily weight below.)

01 Jan: 147.8 (my lowest in Dec was 144.6) Definitely indulged for a couple of days at the beach for New Year’s with family. I expect this to go down quickly after a few days back to my normal routine....hopefully, anyways!
02 Jan: 148.8 I ate within my deficit calories yesterday, so this increase is either from DOMS (I’m still extremely sore from a hard workout on Tuesday), or it’s PMS a lil early? Oh well, patience!
03 Jan: 148
04 Jan: 146.8
05 Jan: 145.8
06 Jan: 146.8 —had buttered popcorn at the movies yesterday, ie, sodium-induced water weight!
07 Jan: 146.8 —staying at a calorie deficit, but more salt plus PMS still, so I’m not letting go of the water! Patience...
08 Jan: 147.4 Seriously! Admittedly, more salt again.
09 Jan: 147 TOM today, finally!! Hopefully I can lose some of this now. I’ve been within my calorie goal, so something’s gotta give soon! (It usually takes 5 more days after TOM starts-boo)
10 Jan: 146.4
11 Jan: 146.2 Surprised, since I had Domino’s pizza last night—high sodium
12 Jan: 146.8 Tearin’ it up in Jan! Lol
13 Jan: 146.8 Uuuugggghhhhhhh!!!! I mean, patience...!?! Within my goal calories...
14 Jan: 145.2 There’s some of it gone after TOM (Yep, takes 5 days after I start!). I’m still not down to my lowest in Dec, but hopefully soon.
15 Jan: 146.2 Had sushi last night, so yeah, sodium!
16 Jan: 144.6 Okay, finally back to my previous low from Dec. Now to actually lose some!
17 Jan: 145.0
18 Jan: 145.0 pizza last night—sodium!
19 Jan: 145.4 ate at maintenance yesterday
20 Jan: 146.8 unexpectedly had sushi out last night—stayed within calories, but sodium!
21 Jan: 145.8
22 Jan: 144.2 Finally, a new low! I was beginning to wonder if I really was eating at a deficit! I peed a LOT yeasterday, so yeah, water weight! Whoosh!

Starting weight: 170.8
Starting weight this month: 140.2
Goal weight this month: 134
Target goal weight: I’m not sure yet, shooting for 130 first.

August: lost 5.5 pounds
September: lost 5 pounds
October: lost 10 pounds
November: lost 5 pounds
December: lost 5.6 pounds

This month will be way different then usual. Doing the Daniel Fast starting Jan 5th for 21 days, for spiritual reasons. So my workouts will probably suffer a little and I will probably lose weight fast in those 21 days.

Jan 01: 140.2
Jan 02: 139.8
Jan 03: 139.8
Jan 04: 138.4
Jan 05: 137.8
Jan 06: 137.6
Jan 07: 137.4
Jan 08: 136.0
Jan 09: 135.6
Jan 10: 133.4 🤯 I know this is just a lot of water weight and will even out over the next couple weeks, so I’m not going to change my goal.
Jan 11: 134.0
Jan 12: 133.6
Jan 13: 134.0
Jan 14: 134.8
Jan 15: 134.2
Jan 16: 133.8
Jan 17: 133.0
Jan 18: 132.0 shocked I’m still losing. I feel like I’m eating so much food, it’s just Daniel fast approved 🤷‍♀️
Jan 19: 132.0
Jan 20: 131.4
Jan 21: 130.4 I think the training for a 10k is burning more calories than I realized and that’s why I’m losing so fast 😬 Saturday is the last day of the fast, so I’m sure I’ll start gaining some back after that.
Jan 22: 130.4

May lost 8 lbs
June lost 1.6 lbs

Jan 1: 211.8
Jan 2: 211
Jan 3: 210.4 (going HARD so far, been flawless with the diet, and working out more intensely than usual. The goal is to see if I can keep it up for a month)
Jan 4: 209.6
Jan 5: 208.8
Jan 6: 208.8
Jan 7: 209 (this was disappointing, I've done really well so far)

Jan 10: 207.4
Jan 11: 206.8
Jan 12: 207.8 (I was under my calories, but my day was like 50% carbs, including 2 bowls of popcorn. I'm expecting this to come off soon)
Jan 13: 207
Jan 14: 206 (new low! Haven't seen this in a couple of months, so I'm pretty psyched. And the last couple of days have been HARD....eating the same amount, but much hungrier than usual).
Jan 15: 208.8 (they catered lunch at work and, already off the wagon, I had fast food for dinner. Bad me! That said, I only went over by about half a pound worth of calories, so I expect this to come off in a few days).
Jan 16: 208
Jan 17: 207.4 (just a reminder that, at my age, a "cheat meal" takes 3 days to work off, and a "cheat day" takes a week. UGH)
Jan 18: 208.8
Jan 19: DNW
Jan 20: 211.8
Jan 21: 210.8 (This was a BAD weekend. While I didn't go CRAZY, I didn't follow my diet at all, and this was the damage. OUCH.)

Starting weight 325lbs 22nd August 2019
Start weight this month 264.4
Goal weight this month 256
Target goal weight 165lbs possibly less undecided yet!

Going a little easier on my goal this month as I didn't make goal again last month. Missed by 0.4lbs!

Sept loss 14.9lbs
October loss 12.1lbs
November loss 11.6lbs
December loss 10.2lbs

1 January 264.7! Great I start the new year up by 0.3lbs! Probably last night’s alcohol so back on the water today 😊

2 January 264.5 down a little but weighed late in the day so hoping it’s not accurate! Walked miles today so here’s hoping for a little more off tomorrow!

3 January 264.4 down a little but today is my birthday so I’ve had a glass of Baileys tonight. Fingers crossed it doesn’t do too much damage tomorrow!

4 January 264.4 again! Aaarrrggghhh! Sick of this number! Know full well I slightly overdid it yesterday but also didn’t drink enough water but just a little drop would be encouraging at this point! Extra exercise the last couple of weeks as well and still not a great result! Frustrating but I’m going to drink more and keep plugging away at it! I will have a summer body for the summer dagnamit!

5 January 263.7 finally a little loss at last! All that walking and all the water drunk did help. Guess I’ll keep going today then!

6 January - didn't weigh today, busy day.

7 January 264.4! Not impressed but TOM on the way and this always happens. Drinking loads to try to help. Not helping that I'm back at work today and having to sit in front of the computer all day isn't helping with my step count! Treadmill for hours later it is then. Humph at this. Hate fluctuations I can't help!

8 January 263.3! Yay a loss at last! A new low for me as well. Definitely going to keep on with the water and have chosen a new supper meal to stop me overdoing the butter on my toast. I'm doing this!!!

9 January 263.3 Now I don’t like this number either! Gah! Can’t really expect a daily loss but I always hope! At least it wasn’t a gain so I’ll take that as a win! 😊

10 January no weigh in

11 January 262.9 pleased with this. Another new low. I know it’s getting harder now but I think the no toast and butter change is helping. 😀

12 January 261.9 so pleased with this. Feels like progress and the first real progress of this month. Hope it continues or I’m not going to make my goal this month either! Keep drinking the water! 💦

13 January 262! Ah well, not going to worry about this one, too small an increase to matter! Had expected more of an increase as I wasn't well yesterday and didn't move about much at all. So I guess I'll take that happily! Keep drinking the water!

14 January 261.9 It seems similar numbers are here to haunt me, but it's a tiny loss so I'll take it!

15 January 261.6, again a little loss but still a loss! Decided to be tougher with myself about my ambiguous calories. I've got a long way to go so i want to do it a little more quickly!

16 January 260.7 Pleased with this! Hoping 4.7lbs is doable by the end of the month now! I'd really like to hit my goal just once on one of these threads! I suppose I could pick a less aggressive goal but I need to be aiming high to help motivate me!

17 January 259.7 😃😃😃 utterly over the moon to be in the 250s again! I even did a little happy dance 💃 this morning. Delighted 😁 6.7lbs to my lowest ever recorded on here or Fitbit and 3.7lbs to this month’s goal. 😊

18 January 259.3 woo hoo! Another loss! Delighted 😁

19 January 259.5 ho hum. Will keep at it! Need to up the water again! 3.5lbs to goal. Gotta make this one! 😊

20 January 259.6. I absolutely know this is due to not drinking enough water but it’s so hard when I’m spending all day in the car with no access to 🚽! Must try harder somehow!!! I will make every effort to make goal this month!

21 January 259.9 double gah!

22 January 259.9 I hate that number, it’s obviously my new 264.4 for this week! Big water day tomorrow for sure and being extra careful with calorie counting!

23 Jan: 143.4 Wow, that’s...nice! It’s really coming off now. I’ve had lower sodium the past two days, so I’m sure there was some water weight masking a some true weight loss. It’ll probably bounce back up soon, but I’ll take it for now!

Jan 1: 211.8
Jan 2: 211
Jan 3: 210.4 (going HARD so far, been flawless with the diet, and working out more intensely than usual. The goal is to see if I can keep it up for a month)
Jan 4: 209.6
Jan 5: 208.8
Jan 6: 208.8
Jan 7: 209 (this was disappointing, I've done really well so far)
Jan 8: 208.2
Jan 9: 207.8
Jan 10: 207.4
Jan 11: 206.8
Jan 12: 207.8 (I was under my calories, but my day was like 50% carbs, including 2 bowls of popcorn. I'm expecting this to come off soon)
Jan 13: 207
Jan 14: 206 (new low! Haven't seen this in a couple of months, so I'm pretty psyched. And the last couple of days have been HARD....eating the same amount, but much hungrier than usual).
Jan 15: 208.8 (they catered lunch at work and, already off the wagon, I had fast food for dinner. Bad me! That said, I only went over by about half a pound worth of calories, so I expect this to come off in a few days).
Jan 16: 208
Jan 17: 207.4 (just a reminder that, at my age, a "cheat meal" takes 3 days to work off, and a "cheat day" takes a week. UGH)
Jan 18: 208.8
Jan 19: DNW
Jan 20: 211.8
Jan 21: 210.8 (This was a BAD weekend. While I didn't go CRAZY, I didn't follow my diet at all, and this was the damage. OUCH.)

1 January 264.7! Great I start the new year up by 0.3lbs! Probably last night’s alcohol so back on the water today 😊

2 January 264.5 down a little but weighed late in the day so hoping it’s not accurate! Walked miles today so here’s hoping for a little more off tomorrow!

3 January 264.4 down a little but today is my birthday so I’ve had a glass of Baileys tonight. Fingers crossed it doesn’t do too much damage tomorrow!

4 January 264.4 again! Aaarrrggghhh! Sick of this number! Know full well I slightly overdid it yesterday but also didn’t drink enough water but just a little drop would be encouraging at this point! Extra exercise the last couple of weeks as well and still not a great result! Frustrating but I’m going to drink more and keep plugging away at it! I will have a summer body for the summer dagnamit!

5 January 263.7 finally a little loss at last! All that walking and all the water drunk did help. Guess I’ll keep going today then!

6 January - didn't weigh today, busy day.

7 January 264.4! Not impressed but TOM on the way and this always happens. Drinking loads to try to help. Not helping that I'm back at work today and having to sit in front of the computer all day isn't helping with my step count! Treadmill for hours later it is then. Humph at this. Hate fluctuations I can't help!

8 January 263.3! Yay a loss at last! A new low for me as well. Definitely going to keep on with the water and have chosen a new supper meal to stop me overdoing the butter on my toast. I'm doing this!!!

9 January 263.3 Now I don’t like this number either! Gah! Can’t really expect a daily loss but I always hope! At least it wasn’t a gain so I’ll take that as a win! 😊

10 January no weigh in

11 January 262.9 pleased with this. Another new low. I know it’s getting harder now but I think the no toast and butter change is helping. 😀

12 January 261.9 so pleased with this. Feels like progress and the first real progress of this month. Hope it continues or I’m not going to make my goal this month either! Keep drinking the water! 💦

13 January 262! Ah well, not going to worry about this one, too small an increase to matter! Had expected more of an increase as I wasn't well yesterday and didn't move about much at all. So I guess I'll take that happily! Keep drinking the water!

14 January 261.9 It seems similar numbers are here to haunt me, but it's a tiny loss so I'll take it!

15 January 261.6, again a little loss but still a loss! Decided to be tougher with myself about my ambiguous calories. I've got a long way to go so i want to do it a little more quickly!

16 January 260.7 Pleased with this! Hoping 4.7lbs is doable by the end of the month now! I'd really like to hit my goal just once on one of these threads! I suppose I could pick a less aggressive goal but I need to be aiming high to help motivate me!

17 January 259.7 😃😃😃 utterly over the moon to be in the 250s again! I even did a little happy dance 💃 this morning. Delighted 😁 6.7lbs to my lowest ever recorded on here or Fitbit and 3.7lbs to this month’s goal. 😊

18 January 259.3 woo hoo! Another loss! Delighted 😁

19 January 259.5 ho hum. Will keep at it! Need to up the water again! 3.5lbs to goal. Gotta make this one! 😊

20 January 259.6. I absolutely know this is due to not drinking enough water but it’s so hard when I’m spending all day in the car with no access to 🚽! Must try harder somehow!!! I will make every effort to make goal this month!

21 January 259.9 double gah!

22 January 259.9 I hate that number, it’s obviously my new 264.4 for this week! Big water day tomorrow for sure and being extra careful with calorie counting!

23 January 259.1 We have another drop at last. Can't help thinking all the pasta I've had lately has hindered the losses. No more pasta for a while! I'm not going to make goal this month but as long as I keep getting the little losses I'm still smiling!

Sorry if I'm late posting. I'm hoping this will motivate me.

January 10, 2020 starting weight:- 158 lbs.
