Female, 59, 5'3"
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
January goal: 152.6
May goal: 130.0
Ultimate goal: 112-115
January 02 - 159.5 - I haven't had a scale for a few days. I thought that it would be worse, but I will definitely take it. Using this as my start weight for the month.
January 03 - 160.9 - I have some work to do to get off the holiday gain.
January 04 - 159.6 - I really don't want to see the 160s again.
January 05 - 159.6 - Hoping to see a drop soon.
January 06 - 159.8
January 10 - 161.2 - Going in the wrong direction!
January 11 - 160.2
January 12 - 162.8 - Officially back to my April 2019 weight, ouch
January 13 - 164.0 - Still gaining apparently, I think that this is left over from the 11th when I went out for dinner.
January 14 - 162.5
January 15 - 159.5 - Happy to see this number this morning. Back to my starting weight for the month with half a month left hopefully to start to go in the other direction.
January 16 - 159.6
January 17 - 159.7 - The weekend is coming up and I always have more time for working out and cooking healthy food.
January 18 - 159.6
January 19 - 158.4 - ah, finally seeing a loss will motivate me to stay the course.
January 20 - 159.0
January 21 - 161.0 - No reason for this spike, maybe it is just too early in the morning.
January 22 - 160.0
January 23 - 157.5 - Well, that is more like it!
January 24 - 157.5 - Going out to dinner tonight, so will keep the calories to a bare minimum during the day.
January 25 - 157.2 - After Dinner out, kept the calories in check. Even when I do that, I sometimes I gain 3 pounds, probably because of restaurant sodium overload.
January 26 - 158.8 - Friday's dinner out now showing up?
January 27 - 160.1 - There are a few reasons for that even though I am feeling leaner today: No sleep due to cold/flu, I put 4 tablespoons of Black Bean Sauce into my stir-fry last night and didn't know until I tracked it that it was 6,893 of sodium!! I have been tracking my left over calories in the 10-day challenge and in 9 days I had 4,090 left over so really should be seeing a loss very soon.
January 28 - 160.0
January 29 - 159.0 - Losing only 1/2 pound per month is not acceptable to me, I hope to end the month better, 2 days left.
January 30 - 159.2
Running tally for January Gain/Loss: Loss 0.3 pounds5 -

The only "sauces" I use on a regular basis is salad dressing. Your weight loss seems to be doing what kind did. When we were both trying to get through the 170's, you finally did and I scaled back and forth through them for 8 months. I think after losing a good amount of weight, our bodies don't want to let go of more for awhile. That could be because of a comfortable set point weight we have reached or our bodies inner workings going through a healing process. We do breathe in, drink in, eat and take in a lot of toxins through product use. Our fat absorbs those toxins.
I don't ever add salt to anything, and had already eaten my dinner when I put it into my tracker. I don't have a stir-fry very often, but have learned now about the crazy amount of sodium in sauce.
I have been fighting off a cold/flu for over a week now, that might also be a reason that my body is holding on to weight, but I think that it is as you say, a new set point. I liked the set point of the 156s in October/November, and I will get back there and beyond with some determination and patience : - )

Id like to lose 4-5lbs in January.
I have gained and lost many times unfortunately. This is my 3rd attempt at losing and maintaining a healthy weight over 15 years.
I have carried and birthed 2 children during that time as well, so naturally my body is a little worn out from all the fluctuation lol.
I’m planning to make this my last ever weight loss journey and work on maintaining a healthy weight/fitness level for the remainder of my life!
My all time high was 229lbs.
This attempt start weight: 217lbs
January start weight: 173
January goal: 168
Ultimate goal: 135

I surpassed my Jan goal by 1 lb and have now officially lost 50 LBS total.
I’m hoping to hit 157-155 within the next 6-8 weeks or so. I think I can do it. Just going to stay focused.

January total 12 lbs.
UPDATE: I was very happy with my results. My diet was extremely strict. I ate to fulfill my BMR. Made sure I hit my protein, carbs, fiber, etc. Exercised every day alternating a day of walking and a day of running. No alcohol and every meal was prepped at home. No fast food, take out meals or processed foods.
Today I am meeting my doctor and having blood work to see if I lowered my cholesterol. As mentioned in a previous post I no longer have high blood pressure and my resting heart rate has dropped 20 points.

I am slowly starting to get back to the land of the living. This flu kicked my butt and totally messed up my half marathon training. I am going to try to walk 8 miles tonight and the gym because I am still to weak to run. Wish me luck. January was a good month for loss but I know I wouldn't have made my goal without getting the flu. I'm still happy with the loss and will keep on going. On to February!!!7 -

I am so-so news. No bone bruise, no stress fracture, no blood clot. As I got tested for all of those this week. But the not so wonderful news. Is it is actually a knee issue, they explained to me that yes you can have an issue with your knee and actually have severe pain elsewhere in your leg. But when I saw the Orthopedic Dr on Thursday and he said I see swelling on side of your knee and started pressing down. Oh my that did not feel good. Then he did a few different tests checking range of motion, and literally to see how much knee joints moves etc... And said he is pretty sure it is a tear. But need an MRI to zero in to see exactly what is going on. He agreed in meantime to keep stretching, yoga in chair, and light indoor bike riding.
Onward and downward we shall all go!5 -

I love black bean anything, but yeah the sodium content is in outer limits. I made some fairly low carb Chili, put more veges in it. And only used one can of beans, and it was low sodium black beans, that I rinsed twice. And spread out over 12 servings, hubby likes as well. But it amazed me how much even then 3/4 cup serving had of sodium.1 -
Guys, since September of last year until today I've gained 20 lbs. 20 pounds! I'm so angry....So angry....I need a moment...
177.2--August 2019
197.4--Today!
I didn't get a chance to detox this month but I definitely will late February. I'm so mad. I'm so tired of this same weight battle. I'm pissed at myself. After I cry into my pillow for 20 min, I'm going to dust myself off, say a prayer, reevaluate some things and move forward.

January results for Challenge: 0.4 Loss
01-189.2 Off to a nice start. Happy new year everyone! Thanks to Tish for helping keep this going and a nice big welcome back to Samantha. I hope a lot of the personal issues have been resolved. {{hugs}} to you!
08 –190.6 Went up higher than this, then back down. Got to keep things going a little more steady/consistent in the New Year. Time for me to kick butt and take names!
15 – 189.7 It’s been a long road getting back down to this. My oh my, what a week it has been for my diabetes and weight gain! My goal this month was 187. I think I can do it!
22 - 189.6 Went way up and then back down again this week. Absolutely nothing stable going on right now for me. I continue the brave fight!
29 - 191.8 Traveled yesterday. Paid for it today. I tried to show some restraint so I am hoping this is fluid retention. Pizza. I am barely under my starting weight. I will work hard to show a better loss by weigh-in on the 31st.
31 – 191.6 I ended 0.4 below my December 31 Ending weight so that is about the only plus for this round. No where near goal, but a small loss is still a loss. I’ll see you all in February!

Total loss for January: I decided to add my December 31 weigh-in; I had only been showing December 28 since it was my normal weigh-in day. By scale, depending which day you look at, I either gained an insignificant 0.2 pounds or lost almost a pound. By average weight, I'm down a little bit. I had a Bagel Disaster a week ago and had a weight spike that I'm finally getting over. Whew. See you in the February thread!

I worked super hard to eat between 1200 to 1400 calories and I had a 500 calorie deficit on Wed/Thurs. A lot of walking due to moving apartments really really helped.
FYI: I have adjusted my ultimate goal because when I hit 118 last month, I realized that I still wanted to try to lower my body fat to a normal range. I have been back and forth with 33% and 34% for about a month. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.
