Due to a 5 lb weight gain over a bad 3 weeks, I am going to start posting daily for accountability.
2/20: 197 lbs I have been snowed in for the last week and not wanting to be active. I have been trying to be cognizant of what I eat.
2/21: 198.4 lbs I had chinese food last night so I am sure this gain is from too much sodium.
2/22: 198.6 lbs I was well under my calories yesterday and went for a run so I don't know what caused this gain. Maybe still sodium from my Chinese meal?
2/23: 198.2 lbs stress eating. Today is going to be hard as well. I am traveling for my grandfather's funeral.
@lizziebtothec I am so sorry for your loss. Safe travels to you!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA.
February starting weight: 207.6
February goal: 202.6
2/01 – 207.6
2/02 - 207.6
2/03 - 208.8 I am a train wreck right now.
2/04 - I woke up running and forgot to weigh
2/05 - 208.6
2/06 - 207.2 Not much time for eating yesterday. It ended with late-night dinner of unhealthy frozen food. However, the calories must have been low for the day overall. Surprised to see this lower number.
2/07 - 207.7 Pizza yesterday with DD and DGS . A rare treat. Back on plan today.
2/08 - 207.4 Pleased that its going back down.
2/09 – 206.6 I am happy to see this. I am expecting a high-sodium social dinner tonight so I will watch my p’s and q’s today and drink plenty of water.
2/10 – 207.2 There’s that sodium bloat rearing its ugly head. Travel today will probably not help!
2/11 - 206.8 I am shocked to see it down nearly ½ pound the day after travel. I will be watching the scale closely over the next couple of days. Sometimes I hide after sodium and/or travel, but it usually finds me.
2/12 - 206.0 Very pleased after a couple of off-days in my schedule.
2/13 - 206.0 After the horrid BINGE last night on my snacks, I will take this and be grateful for it. Tightening the belt today and getting down to business so the weekend does not derail me.
2/14 - 206.4 A had a glucose drop last night that was swift and severe so there were extra calories at the end of the night. On another note, I felt like I was losing the same pounds over and over so I did a little experiment. Starting with Jan 1st , 2020 weight, I went back and counted every single drop of weight I had lost from day to day based on my records. I have lost 103.8 pounds in total! Yay!!!! Well, NOT SO FACT FOLKS. I got on the scale to calculate the difference overall from the starting weight on 1/1/2020 to today and I have gained 12.4 lbs.
I think it’s pretty sad that I worked so hard to lose over 100 pounds with so much sacrifice, hard work, exercise, research and so much more, only to be heavier. I will mark this up to self-sabotage and try to be kinder to myself in 2021. I will try to keep and take care of what I have worked for. So, if you feel like you are losing the same pounds over and over, it could be true. I am going to try to stop this madness!
2/15 - 208.8 One Meal yesterday. This is about as unfair as it gets! Pushing water today.
2/16 - 207.2 On my way back down. Thank you to the extra water and its effects. Pushing more water again today.
2/17 - 204.6 I finally flushed out the sodium. Making good choices is key. Yesterday was a good day.
2/18 - 204.4 I was extra hungry last night and ate very late. I will try to space out my meals and do better planning today. Only slept 4 hours which is more like my typical but I do believe that it affects the scale. If nothing else, my eating window is 20 hours! Perhaps I will sleep better tonight since I am tired. In any case, I am happy for the small drop on the scale.
02/19 – 204.8 Lack of movement perhaps. Diet had a bit more sodium than usual but was right on in terms of healthy and the portions were very good.
02/20 - 205.0 My adult son’s birthday today. I will try to stay focused.
02/21 – 205.,0 Grateful to have the same numbers glaring at me from the scale. My calories were okay yesterday but OMGosh on the choices I made. Horrid, Horrid little girl I was! Absolutely nothing fueling or replenishing about what I stuck in my pie-hole. That makes me feel gluttonous and (almost) childlike. I was a limited thinker yesterday. Today I will ponder before I put my greedy little fingers upon anything!
02/22 – 207.2 I skipped a meal for some ice cream and gained anyway. Practically lost all my progress this month over a bowl of ice cream? I hate how this works!
02/23 - 207.2 No change brings no change. Staying hopeful but a friend is bringing Chinese Food for dinner tonight from out-of-town. Pushing water and limited my breakfast portions. Skipping lunch.

February Starting Weight: 229.2 (I think actually 231 on my new scale)
February Goal: 220
Week 1
2/01
2/02 229.2
2/03 231 - Didn't really sleep, which prob accounts for the more dramatic fluctuation
2/04 229.4 - Still on track with everything! Results will show in a week or two.
2/05 228.6
2/06 227.8 - Feels great! Working out is getting fun and I think I'm taking it at the right pace and getting flexy to avoid injury.
2/07 227.8
Week 2
2/08 230.2 - got a new scale which looks to be about +1lb compared to my old one and then didn’t eat yesterday at all until super bowl, so I think the late eating and scale result in about a +2 variation so I’m not really worried! NSV: Had my longest hardest workout yet yesterday and feeling stronger! Gonna see if I can go just a tad harder today.
2/09 230.2
2/10 230.2 I don't really know what to say. Pretty sure my new scale is +1 lb, but it's still disappointing to not see any clear results yet. Been working hard. That being said, if I didn't have a scale I wouldn't be worried at all. Feeling stronger and feel like my clothes are fitting a bit better even though the scale isn't reflecting that. So we'll see. I'll adjust what I'm doing if there's still no noticeable change by the end of the week.
2/11 230.2
2/12 230.2
2/13 228.8
2/14 229
Week 3
2/15 230.2 Had a vday break, just salt/water weight. Since I only lost maybe a lb in two weeks of being very diligent, I’m switching to intermittent fasting today, one meal a day til the end of the month to give my metabolism a kick start and then try dialing back down to something more sustainable again and hopefully my body cooperates better after that. Fingers crossed. Gonna be a challenge.
2/16 229 Heading in the right direction. Still feel a little salt retention from vday so won’t be surprised if there’s a bigger drop tomorrow! One meal a day fasting working well so far. We’ll see!
2/17 231
2/18 231
2/19 231
2/20 231
2/21 230.2
Final Week
2/22 229
2/23 227.2 Well finally. My body wasn’t a fan of calorie reduction, better choices and exercise. Wasn’t a fan of just intermittent fasting 20:4 and eating pretty healthy. Nope, my body demands Keto and fasting, so here we are! Doing Keto Sun-Thurs with 20:4 IF and non-keto with IF on Fri/Sat. Started Sunday. My body seems to be finally responding and I also am not feeling hungry or cranky. Perseverance ya’ll. Figure out what works for your body and be patient. We will see if this continues.5 -

2/18 60.7 I ate a lot yesterday so expected to see a higher number. So yay!
2/19 60.7
2/20 - Didn't weight because I was not sticking to my eating goals and felt discouraged
2/21 - 61.2 This week was a mess, hoping to get better next week.
2/22 - 60.2 wonder if it was sodium retention before or dehydration now haha.
2/23 - 60.1 oh yay! So happy to see a number like this 2 days in a row. I've been in a lot of stress lately and probably will be for a while now and I just hope I can stay disciplined and not cope with it by binging on food (like I used to do). Wishing myself a lot of strength.
2/24 - 59.6
Today is a big day because I reached my February goal! I actually didn't believe I was going to be able to do it this week, so I am a little speachless. It feels strange to be below 60 kg - I haven't seen a number like that for maybe 5 years. Especially because I don't feel 8 kg lighter, I don't see it when I look in the mirror. And I didn't take before pictures because of body dysmorhia. Ugh. I thought I was going to be happier on this day.7 -

February starting weight: 188.2
February goal: 185
Non-scale goals:
- keep health in balance with work
- deliberate exercise minimum 4x/week
- plan meals
2/1 - 188.2 January was a struggle for me and I ended the month higher than where I started. My work commitments got in the way of exercise and meal planning/logging. Today I've planned & pre-logged my meals and I commit to a long walk. (Walk - check!)
2/2 - 185.6 yup, yesterday's weight was inflated due to sodium. Adjusted my Feb goal for where I feel my actual start for the month is. Meals planned & logged, will walk later, attitude adjusted.
2/3 - 185.0 good day yesterday reflected on this morning's scale. Zumba restarts tonight so looking forward to that. Today's meals planned and logged.
2/4 - 184.6 Zumba was fun last night, happy to post another drop. Food planned and logged; exercise planned.
2/5 - 184.8 no walk yesterday but food was good. Planning good exercise for the weekend as I think it'll make me more mindful with food choices. TGIF!!
2/6 - 184.2 good day yesterday but no exercise. Today I am going to exercise, meal plan, and grocery shop
2/7 - 186.6 gluten spike. I did get everything done yesterday, including exercise.
2/8 - 187.2 love weekends but need to control weekends
2/9 - 184.2
2/10 - 184.4 shared a bottle of wine with my hubby last night, that's the only reason I can think of that I'm up slightly this morning. Will have to pay attention and see if that's a typical reaction with my body.
2/11 - 184.4
2/15 - 187.6 yikes. sodium/gluten bloat, will drop back off in a few days.
2/16 - 186.4
2/17 - 187.0 sodium
2/18 - 187.0
2/19 - 187.2 struggling with work stress this week...
2/20 - 186.6 restarted running today. I've completed C25K and C210K several times. This time I'm doing my own thing. Ran 1min today. Tomorrow I'll run 2min, and so on. Making a zuppa toscana (Olive Garden) soup knock-off for dinner today, which will also give me lunch for next week. Soupy Saturday!
2/21 -188.0 ???? 2min run today with my walk, and I'm planning on getting the dogs out for a walk today as well before the snow starts...again.... Oh, I know why the +...had a roll with soup last night.
2/22 - 188.4 3min run today w/ my walk. No snow, rain instead, so a lot of ice out. Dinner is fish tacos (and I'll have the fish with a salad instead of a soft tortilla).
2/23 - 187.4 4min run today w/ my walk. Dinner is a hunk of meat (probably chicken) and veg.
2/24 - 187.8 5min run today w/ walk with the dogs. Nope, not running with them, they yank me off my feet and I plow up asphalt. I've finally learned that particular lesson. Zumba tonight as well.5 -

02/10 - 134.4
02/11 - 134.2
02/12 - 134.3 - We are in a cold snap here for a few more days, so workouts have to be indoors. Yay Youtube!
02/13 - 135.5 - No reason for this gain except maybe that I drank way more water yesterday.
02/14 - 135.6 - Lots of water/liquid again, plus it has been too cold to get on the trails for a week.
Week 3
02/15 - 136.3 - I had Ribs yesterday. I expect this weight to go up further before I can try to get it back down. It was a choice that I made, but these choices have consequences of course. I used to have Ribs once per week, but I have cut it way back to once per month or less. I know that certain foods are detrimental to weight loss and try to limit them.
02/16 - 135.3 - Worked out like crazy yesterday, pretty happy to see a drop.
02/17 - 134.8 - Slept in today, so got a better number
02/18 - 134.4 - Closer. I was 134.1 in January
02/19 - 133.3 - New low for me to aspire to now that I have touched it once.
02/20 - 133.5 - Planning Pizza today, so will try to work out lots before that.
02/21 - 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and then so much water after the salty pizza. Big jump!
Final Week
02/22 136.9 - Not very happy with this number. I was diligent and worked out lots yesterday and ate lightly. Hoping to see a big drop in the coming days. Sometimes when we eat something (like pizza) it takes a few days to show up on the scale. Why can't losses be like that?
02/23: 136.6 - Had hoped to weigh less this morning. Sticking with it.
02/24: 135.5 - A bit better

Chinese Food seems to be the culprit that adds pounds for so many on this thread.
Mine is Ribs, but I have moved them from once per week to once per month (or less).6 -

2/4 - 149.8 Keep on tracking!
2/5 - 149.2 Happy dance
2/6 - 150 It really is a dance, 2 steps forward, one step back. I was a bit off plan, I dance this dance so well.
2/7 -150
2/8 - 149.2 Yay (again!)
2/9 - 149.2
2/10 - 150 whee
2/11 - 150.4 Back to where I started. Stress eating. My daughter's family moved in with us last weekend for a few months. We've always done daycare for the 2 very active boys (7 and 4) 3 days a week. But now, it seems we are not getting that much needed break on off days/evenings. There is no where to escape (bad weather/pandemic...) so I eat. Plus, I am involved in the online school "fun," which is often a fight with the 7 yo.Time to find another way to cope!
2/12 - 150.4
2/13 - 149.6
2/14 - 148.2 What! Weighed myself 3 times before I believed this. We'll see what tomorrow brings after grandson's/mother in law's birthday celebrations today.
2/15 - 149.2 Expected. Not too bad!
2/16 - 149.2
2/17 - 147.4 Got the sodium out of my system from the 2/14 celebration. Hopeful!
2/18 - 2/21 - DNW
2/22 - 148.4 It is what it is. I will go back to tracking!
2/23 - 148.4 Fell on the ice and broke my wrist for the second time. Yoga will be challenging, but I'll keep it up and walk where it's safe! Goals: track, stay under calories, avoid bad eating between meals. See? I know how to do this!
2/24 - 148.4 - thanks @bittersweetvita and @deepwoodslady for the kind words. Trying to keep a good outlook.5 -
Challenge Starting Weight (from January 31, 2021) : 207.6
Challenge Level: ** (10 pound loss)
Challenge Goal weight: 197.6
01 Feb: 207.6
08 Feb: 207.4
15 Feb: 208.8 This reflects an overnight jump in weight. I went OMAD yesterday but it was a bit starchy. It still feels unfair.
22 Feb: 207.2 Another overnight jump in weight but still better than last week and less than starting weight so I will take this as an inspiration to make the much needed improvements in my diet and exercise plans.
28 Feb: 207.5 Water retention from high sodium Chinese food. Thank Goodness we don’t have a Chinese restaurant within an hour of my town or I would really be in trouble. However, there are more trips out of town right now for me or my workers during the remodel so the Chinese is a bit more frequent. Gotta watch it!

02/06-172 💃🏻☺️ Very happy with my progress! Just need to keep it up & keep working towards the goal! Today is laundry day, clean the house day & go to the store day so I’ll be moving a lot!
02/07-171 😊😊😊🙌🏼 Very proud of my progress! I just want to keep moving in the right direction. We leave for vacation on the 11th & I don’t know if there’s a scale at our rental. I’ll do my best to stay on track. In the next 4 days I’m going to really work hard to get under 170#. Happy Sunday everyone!
Week 2:
02/08-171 no change today. Thats ok better than a gain.

Total loss for February:4 -
Original starting weight - 231 lbs (12/2/19)
Feb starting weight - 196.6 lbs (1/31/21)
Feb goal - 193 lbs
Ultimate goal - 160 lbs
Height: 5'8"
2/5: 199.6 lbs
2/12: no scale
2/19: 198.4 lbs
Due to a 5 lb weight gain over a bad 3 weeks, I am going to start posting daily for accountability.
2/20: 197 lbs I have been snowed in for the last week and not wanting to be active. I have been trying to be cognizant of what I eat.
2/21: 198.4 lbs I had chinese food last night so I am sure this gain is from too much sodium.
2/22: 198.6 lbs I was well under my calories yesterday and went for a run so I don't know what caused this gain. Maybe still sodium from my Chinese meal?
2/23: 198.2 lbs stress eating. Today is going to be hard as well. I am traveling for my grandfather's funeral.
2/24: 198.8 lbs not as bad as I thought it would be with 10 hours of driving, all fast food, and not enough water. Thanks for all the sweet thoughts and comments. It was a beautiful service.4 -

02/24: 179.9 - Found a new fave that I can kinda "eat 100 of" and that is homemade kale chips. I don't know why I was so afraid to try it out. Sometimes a new thing just seems like so much work but this turned out to be so darn easy and delicious to me. I hope those who had a tough week are safe and well rested tonight!4 -

2/17 61.3
2/18 60.7 I ate a lot yesterday so expected to see a higher number. So yay!
2/19 60.7
2/20 - Didn't weight because I was not sticking to my eating goals and felt discouraged
2/21 - 61.2 This week was a mess, hoping to get better next week.
2/22 - 60.2 wonder if it was sodium retention before or dehydration now haha.
2/23 - 60.1 oh yay! So happy to see a number like this 2 days in a row. I've been in a lot of stress lately and probably will be for a while now and I just hope I can stay disciplined and not cope with it by binging on food (like I used to do). Wishing myself a lot of strength.
2/24 - 59.6
Today is a big day because I reached my February goal! I actually didn't believe I was going to be able to do it this week, so I am a little speachless. It feels strange to be below 60 kg - I haven't seen a number like that for maybe 5 years. Especially because I don't feel 8 kg lighter, I don't see it when I look in the mirror. And I didn't take before pictures because of body dysmorhia. Ugh. I thought I was going to be happier on this day.
2/25 - 60.0 I made ramen for dinner yesterday and used a lot of soy sauce that wasn't low sodium. So I'm assuming water weight might be the culprit here.6 -
