    Female, 59, 5'3"
    MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
    February goal: 153.1
    May goal: 138.1
    Ultimate goal: 112-115

    Saturday February 01 - 158.1
    Sunday February 02 - 158.1 - I am going to indulge a bit at a Superbowl party, but will try to be moderate. I will eat light beforehand and get in extra workouts to give myself a few calories to play with.
    Monday February 03 - 161.4 - Superbowl aftermath, almost 3 pound gain in one day.
    Tuesday February 04 - 161.4 - Maybe tomorrow it will start to go back down
    Wednesday February 05 - 159.2 - First goal - get back to the beginning of the month weight. Second goal - get back to October/November weight. Third goal get into a lower set point in the 150s.
    Thursday February 06 - 158.1- 1st goal reached.
    Friday February 07 - 157.4 - I was at 156.7 in October - but I ceased being able to ice skate after November when my knees became sore. Ice skating is a huge calorie burn, so I have had to adjust. Hoping to see that number again soon, I am working very hard at it.
    Saturday February 08 - 155.9 - Yahoo! The hard work might be paying off! New low for me today : - )
    Sunday February 09 - 157.9 - 2 pound jump for no reason, but I will stay the course doing what got me to my new low yesterday.
    Monday February 10 - 157.4
    Tuesday February 11 - 158.2 - less working out yesterday, plus a very early weigh-in compared to usual.
    Wednesday February 12 - 159.6 - Had Ribs for dinner last night, so many calories, burned many calories, but ate more erasing my deficit.
    Thursday February 13 - 158.8 - Coming back down. I will have to work really hard to make up for that one delicious dinner : - )
    Friday February 14 - 157.7 - Festivities tomorrow, going to moderate as much as I can. Half way through the month and down 0.4lbs - not good enough. Such hard work!!
    Saturday February 15 - 156.3 - bit of a buffer before the festival food and drink.

    I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account.


    MY STATS:

    Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
    Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
    January Ending weight – 191.6
    February goal - 186.6 lbs
    February Actual Ending Weight:


    Weight/Comment:

    Feb 01 - 191.6 Good luck everyone!
    Feb 08 - 192.0 I started my new plan in order to figure out what is going on with my glucose numbers. Watching calories more than carbs this time (glucose has been running too low!). Today and yesterday found my glucose too high so I will continue to tweak to see if I can come up with a good weight loss plan without hurting my T2D efforts. I am down 0.1 from yesterday which I will call a normal fluctuation.
    Feb 15 - 194.8 Slowly getting worse. Experimenting with diet and apparently it’s not working like I thought it would. I need to lose weight while keeping my glucose numbers in check and watching the fats because of my gall bladder. Uggg. It’s a science. I’ll get it.
