    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.

    I still think you are doing a great job. From my experience, one day will not ruin our overall efforts. Virtual hugs.

    Final Week:
    1/29 - 123.6... mini burrito bowl and chips with salsa for last night's dinner was the better choice all along. Always share your chips and salsa.

    MFP starting weight: 183
    GOAL WEIGHT: 160

    January starting weight: 178.2
    January goal: 170 or more!
    WI DAY SUNDAYS

    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.
    1/7 -
    1/8-
    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.
    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.
