No matter how hard I try this scale isn’t budging. I spend most of the week up two pounds and then finally it breaks and brings me back to 133. I cannot wait for this quarantine to be over—although New Jersey isn’t going to lift it anytime soon that’s for sure.

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 253 on January 11, 2018
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 191.8

Jan. 6: 191.8 A nice small overnight drop. I need better choices & more water.
Jan. 13: 195.4 I am really fighting severe glucose drops & frenzied eating to bring it back up. Horrid! Until my blood sugar stabilizes, I can't begin to set each month's goal. I will get there....
Jan. 20: 189.7 Its been a week of blood glucose highs and lows. Slowly I am re-adjusting my body to my original meal plan & exercise goals. Each day finds me feeling a bit better and closer to better numbers all around. It’s nice to see this drop. It was done slowly, a little everyday for the most part.
Jan. 27: 190.0 I made goal right on target but with a severe struggle due to the glucose issues. I am still actively work hard on that and hope I can get it resolved soon.
Jan. 31: 191.6 I’m not ending this month very well. It will be a catchup game in February.

January Goal: 190.0
January Actual: 191.6


Feb 1: 191.6
Feb. 3: 192.6 Superbowl Carbs. Was mindful of the snacks but there was pasta.
Feb. 10: 193.1 Was trying a new experiment. It’s clearly not working for me. I think I just confused my mind AND my body!
Feb. 17: 194.8 Yucky!
Feb. 24: 195.5 Up, then moving back down. I am tweaking my carbs to under 50 and my cals to under 1400. I think this is the best spot for those severe glucose problems I’ve been having. Next week’s weigh-in should tell much.
Feb. 29: 198.6 Out last night with a friend. I only ate half and boxed the rest for my son. But carbs are carbs and they are still my enemy.

February Goal: 184.0
February Actual: 198.6


Mar. 1: 199.8 A new month, a new start, a new me! Let’s go everybody!
Mar. 2: 201.6 Emergency travel yesterday. Limited movement and food choices. Back home today and motivated!
Mar. 9: 200.2 Better.
Mar. 16: 200.7 Things are getting very rough here in Michigan in regards to the Coronavirus. I’ve got to stop stress eating and grazing!
Mar. 23: 201.7 Our state is now on lockdown. Only allowed out for essentials such as grocery/pharmance. All non-essential businesses are closed until further notice including all manufacturing.
Mar. 30: 203.5 Failing miserably. I hate to blame it on this virus, but not being able to get out for my long daily walk and being here near the fridge is playing havoc on every single one of my weaknesses. I’ve got to get my *kitten* together!
Mar. 31: 203.5 boy oh boy. Did I EVER fall short of goal. It’s time to get serious.

March Goal: 178.0
March Actual: 203.5

Apr. 1: 203.2
Apr. 6: 202.8 A small start on a big journey that continues. Finally a little progress! Clearly I will not make goal, but I would like to turn this train around!
Apr. 13: 203.7 I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Now, back to basics!
Apr. 20: 202.5 Better!
Apr. 27: 203.2 Phooey! Travel kills my efforts!
Apr. 30: 207.9 Ended up with more travel. 3 separate days total. That means lack of movement and restaurant foods that usually make me retain water. I have gained a whole lot during this challenge. I’ve got to try harder whether I am home or away!

April Goal: 172.8
April Actual: 207.9

Weight lost so far during challenge: 17.9 lb GAIN
Challenge Weight loss goal: 19 lbs.
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: None. Things are going to change! I promise!

Current Weight: 155.4

12 Week Goal Weight: 143.4 (or less would be great)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 112-115


Weigh In:

4/6/20 - 155.4
4/13/20 - 156.3 - I feel leaner than that, I put on a pound yesterday somehow even though I now work out more than usual since being home, and keeping my calories low. Bad day to have a blip on a weekly thread, but hope to see a better number next week.
4/20/20 - 156.7 - Not yet
4/27/20 - 156.0 - Well, Monday again and I am up about 2 pounds compared to my weekly average. Not sure why.
5/4/29 - 154.7 - Better. Up a pound since Friday, but I did have a "cheat" day on Saturday. I weigh every day, but having this Monday morning challenge helps me keep Sundays in check : - )

5/04/29 - 205.7 drats! It actually went higher and I’ve been moving it back down, but no excuses! I’ve got to get back to Onederland again, and that is just a start! My birthday is on Sunday. I would love to keep the scale moving downward as a present to myself.
