I'm hoping to be at 150 by March 24th. That's about11 weeks from now. I'm going on vacation and I'd like to be at that point for the trip. Please don't think I'm losing weight for the trip. Just trying to set little goals along the journey! And that's an easy date to remember for me.

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!!!
28 - 135.2 - Happy with this.

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.

1/4 - 177.8, today was soooo long! First day back to work after my surgery 3 weeks ago. But I made it through it, I did really good with my food choices too. I’m wiped out & ready for bed. Hope you all had a GREAT DAY!
1/5 - 177.4 Happy with this considering I ate chocolate last night.
1/6 - 177 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Happy with this! Doctors appointment went well yesterday! I get to start at home physical therapy today & in 3 weeks on site PT! I’m ready to be back to normal. Not being able to use my right arm is a pain.

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.
1/28- 176.4 It only takes one mess up to gain and then you really have to work hard to get it off. Dang. I'll just stick to my guns and behave.7 -

January starting weight: 207.0

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.
01/28: 207.6 A visit to the bathroom would help. Frustrating!

@dawnbgethealthy Thanks! I was honestly getting discouraged and then yesterday the scale dropped and back up again today. A little frustrating. But, then I come here and see your nice comment. It was a nice reminder to me to look at where I was at the beginning of the month! Thanks for the reminder!5 -

01/29 - 183.0 - I mentally messed up yesterday. Because I wanted to make sure I was weighing and counting everything, I ended up snacking here and there - thinking in my head it was all good because I was tracking as I ate - but then my dinner put me 100 calories over. Family dinner was taco night. I have been making mine a taco salad. But once I saw I was already over, I craved a full taco with all the rice and fixings and I caved to the battle in my head and added an additional 250 calories over that. I am disappointed in myself. I knew I would be mad today and I still ate it. I will never lose this weight if I cannot stay strong.5 -

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!

1/3 -178.2 , back with a new attitude & ready to do this.
1/4 - 177.8, today was soooo long! First day back to work after my surgery 3 weeks ago. But I made it through it, I did really good with my food choices too. I’m wiped out & ready for bed. Hope you all had a GREAT DAY!
1/5 - 177.4 Happy with this considering I ate chocolate last night.
1/6 - 177 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Happy with this! Doctors appointment went well yesterday! I get to start at home physical therapy today & in 3 weeks on site PT! I’m ready to be back to normal. Not being able to use my right arm is a pain.

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.
1/28- 176.4 It only takes one mess up to gain and then you really have to work hard to get it off. Dang. I'll just stick to my guns and behave.
1/29- 175.4 HAPPY HAPPY. I knew I could do it. I have today and tomorrow left the Sunday is WI. I can do this. Stay Strong my friends.

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 - counting this as my start, yesterday was a weird fluctuation
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!!!
28 - 135.2 - Happy with this.
FINAL WEEK:
29 - 135.5 - Not too bad, deviated from my usual dinner and had some Butter Chicken Pizza, but not too much.

Agreed, I think that you are doing great.
Sometimes if I want to eat a little more I will do Zumba (Fitness Marshall) until I have burned the amount of calories that I want to consume. If I know that I will be having a big dinner I work out more than usual that day ahead of time to free up calories, and won't eat much during the day leading up to it.
1/2 cup of rice is very nice to the digestion. Does a taco shell have that many calories?
For sure don't beat yourself up. It isn't sustainable unless we can still eat yummy foods from time to time.
You are finding your rhythm. Our bodies are all different, and you will find what works best for you.4 -
I do a couple of Fitness Marshall songs throughout the day when I am pressed for time. They add up for sure, same calorie burn as Zumba.
For those who "know" me you have heard this broken record several times, especially you @deepwoodslady
I am not affiliated. I discovered it just under a year ago and it has made such a huge difference to my rib cage, creaky joints, emotions..plus it takes some mental effort to learn the moves. I always figure between 5-10 times.
Here are some of my current faves:
This is my warm up pretty much every single day:
Post Malone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEDjmWrlmyA
This one is new to me, I have done it twice and don't have the movements yet, but I will.
Bebe Rexha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VBJOwPYIns
I have done this one a bunch.
Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a quick calorie burn and a mental escape for a few minutes.2 -

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.
01/28: 207.6 A visit to the bathroom would help. Frustrating!
01/29: 207.0 Happy for the drop. Chinese food expected later carried in from out-of-town. I am pushing the water as we speak.
