Happy birthday!!!3 -
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
January starting weight: 138.4 - (This includes holiday stuff, so higher than I had been)
January goal: 133.4
1/1 - 138.4
1/2 - 137.2
1/3 - 136.1 - I am pleased with this number. I think that it took me months to get the holiday weight off last year. Upped my activity and reduced my consumption.
1/4 - 135.9 - Surprised to see this number, I was thinking that yesterday was just a fluctuation. All of that holiday skating and x-country skiing maybe is kicking in.
1/5 - 135.4 - Maybe the holiday eating upped my metabolism? I normally lose 1 pound per month, so pretty happy to see a dip on the scale.
1/6 - 135.5 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, hoping to see that on the scale in the next couple of days.
1/7 - 134.8 - Yay!
WEEK 2:
8 - 134.1 - Wow. I lost 12 pounds in 12 months. I don't think that I am doing anything differently. Almost can't believe that the scale is moving this way.
9 - 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday. Hard to get it off, very easy to put it back on. I don't want to let myself derail.
10 - 137.4 - Hoping that this is just a fluctuation, I was "good"
11 - 137.4 - Hmm, well, I guess this is where my body wants to be today. Maybe it will drop over the next few days.
12 - 136.1 - Better.
13 - 136.5 - Okay.
14 - 135.8 - This motivates me to keep being "good"
WEEK 3:
15 - 136.7 - Nachos last night. I will work to get this back off.
16 - 136.5 - I have been a bit off my eating this weekend, but I always have more time for working out on the weekends too.
17 - 137.3 - Yo-yo. Good choices yesterday and lots of activity. Nachos catching up. Hoping to drop tomorrow.
18 - 135.8 - Glad to see it coming back down.
19 - 135.6 - It takes a few days to catch up in either direction with my slow metabolism. I am being "good".
20 - 135.5 - I was 137.0 at the doctor for my physical yesterday, this was after breakfast, coffee, and fully dressed. 2 years ago I was 187.0 My blood pressure numbers are still a bit high, but nowhere near where they were at that time. Not at a healthy weight for my 5'2" frame yet, but really going in the right direction and feel that I have changed my eating habits and lifestyle choices.
21 - 135.4 - Staying the course
WEEK 4:
22 - 136.9 : - (
23 - 136.4 - I enjoyed having those 4 days in the 135s. Trying to work it back down, I had hoped that it was my new set point, but apparently not, have to stay diligent.
24 - 138.1 - Argh
25 - 138.3 - Got in lots of activity yesterday, I expect this to drop back down over the next few days.
26 - 135.3 - Wow, and drop back it did!

Heaviest Weight: 253
MFP Starting Weight:235
January starting weight: 207.0
January Goal Weight: 202.0
January total weight loss:
12/31: 207.0
01/01: 207.8
01/02: 208.1 Travel and limited movement.
01/03: 207.1 Okay better!
01/04: 207.4
01/05: 207.0
01/06: 207.2 Normal fluctuation but I need to get off the 7 and get to the 6
01/07: 207.2
01/08: 207.0 A little better due to smaller portions.
01/09: 208.6 Crazy Scale! The only indiscretion was milk. Goodbye Milk!
01/10: 208.6 Good meals but a very late dinner again due to people “popping in” and staying late (11:00 pm).
01/11: 207.0 A nice whoosh. A few small changes (like avoiding milk) paid off.
01/12: 207.0 Surprised to see it unchanged after travel. Restaurant meal and lack of movement.
01/13: 207.2 A normal fluctuation. I increased my steps yesterday to over 12,000 to try to make up for the day before (sitting while traveling).
01/14: 207.0 I am still hoping to see the 6. I feel like I've worked my butt off for half this month just to get back to starting weight, all over a lousy glass of milk! I know there is more to it than that and that movement makes a big difference too, but I really need the 6
01/15: DNW I didn’t get a chance to weigh. I was woke up by a friend banging on the door and it slipped my mind until after 2 cups of coffee. Good meal planning yesterday but my late-night snacks were bad.
01/16: 207.0 Going for the 6 after a good night’s sleep.
01/17: 206.8 Mission Accomplished. Finally the 6! Barely, but finally!
01/18: 206.2 Yay!!!! Now I am going to tiptoe to the 5 and hope it doesn’t see me and stop me!
01/19: 205.6 I am so thrilled to see this. My meals weren’t “perfect” but I was especially careful to eat a very low cal/low carb dinner.
01/20: 205.2 Continued progress. Carbs a bit high but calories on the lower side. Lots of movement in rigorous household projects that will continue today.
01/21: 205.4 A normal fluctuation. Low cal yesterday and kept committed. I did not get to work on my rigorous projects afterall yesterday so the extra calorie burn will be today.
01/22: 205.2 Lots of extra steps & movement yesterday. I am making dinner for a friend tonight so I will keep it low cal and low carb.
01/23: 206.2 Ruined a low calorie day with pop-tarts and milk. Making some extra efforts today.
01/24: 206.2 : /
01/25: 208.2 No excuses. It was from a combo of high carbs and no exercise. Today will be a better day.
01/26: 207.0 Better as promised but I’m not sure why the huge drop all in one night. What a mystery the body really is!

January start weight 165, I weigh weekly on Friday's. My goal is to get back down to 120-125 where I was BEFORE this pandemic. My goal date is 3rd week in May. So to start out, since 1-1-21, I have been doing 30 minute fast pace walk/mild jog on treadmill at home and carefully watch my calorie intake. I went cold turkey on my favorite worst foods/drinks which were, wine, trolli gummy worms, which were my weakness, and hot flaming chips. I did have a bad craving for the Trolli's in my 2nd week, bad enough I bought some...but I never opened them due to not wanting to feel guilty afterwards. So I am proud of myself for still having them till this day. Currently, it is testing/strengthening my mind control.

I'm back again...I know I need this and I'm determined to keep coming back until my brain "gets it".
MFP starting weight: 272
Jan starting weight: 245
Jan goal weight: 238
1/6: 245 goal today and for the rest of the week is to start tracking and do my exercises for my legs
1/13:243 goal this week is to commit to more tracking
1/20: 241 I didn't meet my tracking goal this week, but I did walk 4 days which looks like it helped. Now I'll try to combine both for this week:)
1/27: 241 No tracking or walking this week(my knees are shot and we've had snow, so too nervous to walk outside) plus Chinese food. It's not the fault of any one of these things but a combination, the biggest problem was me. Having said that, at least I'm still here and with my track record I would have been long gone so I think there's still hope for me and my attitude!
At least I'm down 4 lbs. from the first of the month. 6 -

FINAL WEEK:

1/1 - 181.4
1/2 - 181.9 plan to walk today and make better food choices
1/3 - 181.4 didn't manage my walk yesterday but did it this morning
1/4 - 184.0 ugh...salt yesterday 60min walk accomplished!
1/5 - 182.4 managed a short walk this morning; goal is better food choices and more exercise later
1/6 - 181.8 whew, I allowed some chocolate to fall into my mouth last night, but I did walk 90min so that must have offset it. Modified my goals to add non-scale items because those two items will get me to my scale goal and I need to see them written down.
1/7 - 180.8 nice to see the salt and gluten disappear...walked yesterday and planning to do it again today. Gave up running a few months ago due to back and neck issues, switching to walking has been a mental struggle but my body appreciates it.
1/8 - 180.8 making mental progress, even if not yet showing on the scale
1/9 - 181.0 splurge at dinner with friends last night so am happy with the very small uptick
1/10 - 181.4 glad the weekend is almost over, I'm much more disciplined during the week
1/11 - 181.8 Monday, refocusing...
1/12 - 181.0 nice to see scale progress
1/13 - 179.4
1/14 - 179.2
1/15 - 180.0 salt...ugh...
1/16 - 183.4 my own fault, had fried fish last night so gluten and salt. plus then chocolate. sigh. like I said, my own fault but still frustrating to see.
1/17 - 184.0 I am realizing that I need a plan for my weekends, I always undo all my hard work from the week. Plus, you know, I realized again today that I'm a girl
1/18 - 181.4 nice that it drops off so quickly, but sad that only -.4 from last Monday. Refocusing...
1/19 - 181.6
1/20 - 181.6
1/21 - 181.6 haven't walked in a couple days, which could be why no progress. On the + side, no upwards movement either.
1/22 - 181.2 so it's the weekend. Going out tonight with my husband, meal will be meat & veg (which doesn't mean a carby potato) and a glass of wine.
1/26 - 184.4
1/27 - 183.4 bad things happen when I don't weigh in for several days7 -
January starting weight: 153.2

1/1 - na

1/3 - 153.6 😖
1/4 - 152.2
1/5 - 152.4
1/6 - NA, Woke up late and forgot to weigh in. Bummer!
1/7 - 150.2, Much better!
1/8- 151.4, TOM started yesterday.
1/9- NA, did not weigh myself this morning.
1/10- NA
1/11- 153.4, Hopefully just water weight from TOM.
1/12- 152.2
1/13- 152.4, Not bad, I had a larger dinner and a couple drinks lastnight.
1/14- 152
1/15- 151.4, slowly but surely getting somewhere.
1/16- na
1/17- na
1/18- 154.4. Yikes!!! B-day cake, lil smokies, cheese and drinks yesterday. Hoping it was all the sodium 😖 Oh well. Onward & forward!
1/19- 154.4, BUMMED. Did well yesterday, I was hoping to see a drop in water weight today. Hopefully tomorrow!
1/20- 152.6, Better! Gotta keep this going! Pretty sure I can get into the 140s again this month.
1/21- 150.2, AWESOME! 😁
1/22- 150.2
1/23- 149.6. Yay!! Hopefully it sticks. I had veggie chicken stir fry for dinner and will be having it again for lunch. Hopefully it won't cause too much bloating from the sodium. Just gotta keep this in mind and expect my numbers to blip back up for a couple days.
1/24- 148.8. 👍
1/25- 150.2. Ate pretty heavily yesterday, nothing bad though and stayed within my calories. More sodium than usual. Not worried about it!
1/26- 149.2.
1/27- 148.6. JANUARY GOAL REACHED!!!! Whoop whoop!7 -
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
January starting weight: 138.4 - (This includes holiday stuff, so higher than I had been)
January goal: 133.4
1/1 - 138.4
1/2 - 137.2
1/3 - 136.1 - I am pleased with this number. I think that it took me months to get the holiday weight off last year. Upped my activity and reduced my consumption.
1/4 - 135.9 - Surprised to see this number, I was thinking that yesterday was just a fluctuation. All of that holiday skating and x-country skiing maybe is kicking in.
1/5 - 135.4 - Maybe the holiday eating upped my metabolism? I normally lose 1 pound per month, so pretty happy to see a dip on the scale.
1/6 - 135.5 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, hoping to see that on the scale in the next couple of days.
1/7 - 134.8 - Yay!
WEEK 2:
8 - 134.1 - Wow. I lost 12 pounds in 12 months. I don't think that I am doing anything differently. Almost can't believe that the scale is moving this way.
9 - 135.1 - Kind of bad choices yesterday. Hard to get it off, very easy to put it back on. I don't want to let myself derail.
10 - 137.4 - Hoping that this is just a fluctuation, I was "good"
11 - 137.4 - Hmm, well, I guess this is where my body wants to be today. Maybe it will drop over the next few days.
12 - 136.1 - Better.
13 - 136.5 - Okay.
14 - 135.8 - This motivates me to keep being "good"
WEEK 3:
15 - 136.7 - Nachos last night. I will work to get this back off.
16 - 136.5 - I have been a bit off my eating this weekend, but I always have more time for working out on the weekends too.
17 - 137.3 - Yo-yo. Good choices yesterday and lots of activity. Nachos catching up. Hoping to drop tomorrow.
18 - 135.8 - Glad to see it coming back down.
19 - 135.6 - It takes a few days to catch up in either direction with my slow metabolism. I am being "good".
20 - 135.5 - I was 137.0 at the doctor for my physical yesterday, this was after breakfast, coffee, and fully dressed. 2 years ago I was 187.0 My blood pressure numbers are still a bit high, but nowhere near where they were at that time. Not at a healthy weight for my 5'2" frame yet, but really going in the right direction and feel that I have changed my eating habits and lifestyle choices.
21 - 135.4 - Staying the course
WEEK 4:
22 - 136.9 : - (
23 - 136.4 - I enjoyed having those 4 days in the 135s. Trying to work it back down, I had hoped that it was my new set point, but apparently not, have to stay diligent.
24 - 138.1 - Argh
25 - 138.3 - Got in lots of activity yesterday, I expect this to drop back down over the next few days.
26 - 135.3 - Wow, and drop back it did!
27 - 135.2 - Back to my usual eating habits. Only 4 weigh-in days left for the month!!!

FINAL WEEK:

Tracking is everything. I lost weight once before and stopped tracking thinking that I knew approximately. I gained back 50 pounds. I may track the rest of my life.
Of course we all need to have some fun foods, just less often than before, and rearrange the other eating in the day to make up for the calories of them. And of course track it.
Measure stuff. I put cream in my coffee every day, but when I started this journey I didn't realize how much. 2 tbsp per cup (I drink 2) is really enough for me and tastes great. I keep my tbsp by my coffee pot now and it has become habit. I saved 14,600 calories last year, just from the coffee cream which equals 4.17 pounds over the year. Small changes add up.
My 2 cents today : - )7 -
@dawnbgethealthy YES!!! THIS!!! AGREED!! I think I may be tracking the rest of my life as well because I slowly gain when I try to estimate my calories. I have done calculations similar to your cream measurments as well to keep myself in check. Especially when I start to question, "Does it really matter?? It's SUCH a small amount."
Example: I choose to park further away from my office for the exercise. Just a walk, 13 mins one way = 26 mins total/day, 5 days a week. For me, this burns 96 cals/day. Nothing to gock for a day's worth of exercise. I considered stopping and parking closer because "Why not? It's only 96 cals a day. Probably won't make a difference, right?" I did the math for it. In the long run, it does make a difference!
96 cals/day x 5 days a week= 480 cals/week. 480 cals x 49 weeks (1 year - 3 weeks no work/holidays) = 23,520 cals / 3,500 cals (lb of fat) = 6.7 lbs.
My story to add to your 2 cents, now we have 4 cents!! lol

1/9-
Week One: -1.2
1/17- 177.2 Well it has been the crappiest few months for me, with my dad’s passing, my shoulder surgery and then COVID-19. I haven’t been keeping track of my eating habits since 1/7/21 because I ended up testing positive for COVID-19! Good thing about it I didn’t gain weight. I am back feeling well and ready to get back down to a happier weight! I think the only thing that helped me during the past 10 days is the fact that I could not taste or smell anything. I still can’t taste or smell very good, hopefully they will return sooner than later! Stay healthy and safe my friends!😷🙏🏼
1/18- 178. I’m sure it’s all catching up to me now! I go back to work tomorrow THANK GOODNESS! All this being at home doing nothing is starting to get to me. I was able to make the bed by myself today, which wiped me out 😆. Back to work means steps & more movement. Then next week I get to start physical therapy 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻.
1/19- 177.5. Happy with this. I'm back to work and I have almost hit my steps goal for the day. Been eating only my planned foods for the day as well. I'm going to be one tired girl when I get home. I also go to the Chiropractor after work so hopefully my hips wont give me the shakes tonight. Hope you all have had a Great Day.
1/20- 178.5 I'm still ok with this. I know its going to take a few days to get back on track and start seeing a change.
1/21-179:(
1/22- 178 Ok time to get serious!.
1/23- out of town
Week 3: +.6
1/24- 178.4. 🤨 For the next two and a half weeks I really need to step up to the plate. I want to be down to 170 before our trip or even below. I know I can do it. Today is the beginning of a new week and mind set!
1/25- 176.4 Happy Dance. I knew If I stuck to my plan I'd see it come off.
1/26- 175.6 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉 TO ME! This is what happens when you stay true to yourself and stick to your guns! I really want this and I know I am the only one that can make it happen. At this rate, I should be close to my 170 lb goal for my vacation in 3 weeks. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
1/27- 177.4 OOPS, Birthday Dinner & Dessert. That's ok I'm going to be extra diligent the rest of the week. Sometimes you do need to treat yourself.8 -
I also wanted to Thank everyone for the Birthday wishes yesterday! They really mean a lot to me.8

Heaviest Weight: 253
MFP Starting Weight:235
January starting weight: 207.0
January Goal Weight: 202.0
January total weight loss:
12/31: 207.0
01/01: 207.8
01/02: 208.1 Travel and limited movement.
01/03: 207.1 Okay better!
01/04: 207.4
01/05: 207.0
01/06: 207.2 Normal fluctuation but I need to get off the 7 and get to the 6
01/07: 207.2
01/08: 207.0 A little better due to smaller portions.
01/09: 208.6 Crazy Scale! The only indiscretion was milk. Goodbye Milk!
01/10: 208.6 Good meals but a very late dinner again due to people “popping in” and staying late (11:00 pm).
01/11: 207.0 A nice whoosh. A few small changes (like avoiding milk) paid off.
01/12: 207.0 Surprised to see it unchanged after travel. Restaurant meal and lack of movement.
01/13: 207.2 A normal fluctuation. I increased my steps yesterday to over 12,000 to try to make up for the day before (sitting while traveling).
01/14: 207.0 I am still hoping to see the 6. I feel like I've worked my butt off for half this month just to get back to starting weight, all over a lousy glass of milk! I know there is more to it than that and that movement makes a big difference too, but I really need the 6
01/15: DNW I didn’t get a chance to weigh. I was woke up by a friend banging on the door and it slipped my mind until after 2 cups of coffee. Good meal planning yesterday but my late-night snacks were bad.
01/16: 207.0 Going for the 6 after a good night’s sleep.
01/17: 206.8 Mission Accomplished. Finally the 6! Barely, but finally!
01/18: 206.2 Yay!!!! Now I am going to tiptoe to the 5 and hope it doesn’t see me and stop me!
01/19: 205.6 I am so thrilled to see this. My meals weren’t “perfect” but I was especially careful to eat a very low cal/low carb dinner.
01/20: 205.2 Continued progress. Carbs a bit high but calories on the lower side. Lots of movement in rigorous household projects that will continue today.
01/21: 205.4 A normal fluctuation. Low cal yesterday and kept committed. I did not get to work on my rigorous projects afterall yesterday so the extra calorie burn will be today.
01/22: 205.2 Lots of extra steps & movement yesterday. I am making dinner for a friend tonight so I will keep it low cal and low carb.
01/23: 206.2 Ruined a low calorie day with pop-tarts and milk. Making some extra efforts today.
01/24: 206.2 : /
01/25: 208.2 No excuses. It was from a combo of high carbs and no exercise. Today will be a better day.
01/26: 207.0 Better as promised but I’m not sure why the huge drop all in one night. What a mystery the body really is!
01/27: 206.6 Grateful but I still need to make better choices.

1/1 - 152.2
1/2 - 152.2
1/3 - 151.2 Yes!
1/4 - 151.2 Tracked and stayed within my calorie range 2 days in a row. Hope to stay committed for the month!
1/5 - 150.6 140's here I come! (Hopefully by next week)
1/6 - 151 - Still hope for next week! Stay the course!
1/7 - 150.6 Right direction
1/8 - 150.6 Still happy with progress!
1/9 - 150.6 ditto^ I am not gaining and know I am heading in the right direction!
1/10 - 150.6 OK scale, you can move now! (In the right direction, of course!)
1/11 - 150.6
1/12 - 149.2 140's - Good to see you again!
1/13 - 149.4 - Hope to stay in my new decade!
1/14 - 150.2 - Too much sodium I suspect.
1/15 - 150.2
1/16 - 149.2 Yay!
1/17 - 149.4
1/18 - 150.4 - Seriously?! Ok, sodium again.
1/19 - 150.4 - My body seems to like me here. I will keep cajoling it to rethink it!
1/20 - 150.4 -
1/21 - 149.6 - There we go
1/22 - 149.6
1/23 - 149.6
1/24 - 148.8 Well that was unexpected. I'll take it of course!
1/25 - 149. 6
1/26 - 149.6 - doing all the right things. It will budge soon!
1/27 - 149.8
1/28 - 149.8 - Tracking really is the key. I've been remiss the last few days. Thanks for the reminders. I'll get back to it and try to keep it for life!6 -
1/1 - 181.4
1/2 - 181.9 plan to walk today and make better food choices
1/3 - 181.4 didn't manage my walk yesterday but did it this morning
1/4 - 184.0 ugh...salt yesterday 60min walk accomplished!
1/5 - 182.4 managed a short walk this morning; goal is better food choices and more exercise later
1/6 - 181.8 whew, I allowed some chocolate to fall into my mouth last night, but I did walk 90min so that must have offset it. Modified my goals to add non-scale items because those two items will get me to my scale goal and I need to see them written down.
1/7 - 180.8 nice to see the salt and gluten disappear...walked yesterday and planning to do it again today. Gave up running a few months ago due to back and neck issues, switching to walking has been a mental struggle but my body appreciates it.
1/8 - 180.8 making mental progress, even if not yet showing on the scale
1/9 - 181.0 splurge at dinner with friends last night so am happy with the very small uptick
1/10 - 181.4 glad the weekend is almost over, I'm much more disciplined during the week
1/11 - 181.8 Monday, refocusing...
1/12 - 181.0 nice to see scale progress
1/13 - 179.4
1/14 - 179.2
1/15 - 180.0 salt...ugh...
1/16 - 183.4 my own fault, had fried fish last night so gluten and salt. plus then chocolate. sigh. like I said, my own fault but still frustrating to see.
1/17 - 184.0 I am realizing that I need a plan for my weekends, I always undo all my hard work from the week. Plus, you know, I realized again today that I'm a girl
1/18 - 181.4 nice that it drops off so quickly, but sad that only -.4 from last Monday. Refocusing...
1/19 - 181.6
1/20 - 181.6
1/21 - 181.6 haven't walked in a couple days, which could be why no progress. On the + side, no upwards movement either.
1/22 - 181.2 so it's the weekend. Going out tonight with my husband, meal will be meat & veg (which doesn't mean a carby potato) and a glass of wine.
1/26 - 184.4
1/27 - 183.4 bad things happen when I don't weigh in for several days
1/28 - 184.0 (?)
I love all the encouraging advice that's been happening, we all need the reminders.7 -
