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@bittersweetvitaand@deepwoodsladyfor the kind words. Trying to keep a good outlook.
2/25 - 148.4
2/26 - 148.4 - Will push through this plateau. syreina thanks for the kind words. Hope all keeps getting better for all you Texans! Stay strong!!!

Lol I am literally joining this with only one day left in February. I figure it's better to start now than wait for a time that seems better suited. The only time to start is right now after all.

02/27 - 230.0 lbs

Tomorrow is my birthday so hoping to start off on the right track.

Happy Birthday!!

Week 1 Loss: -2.2

2/8: 161.6 Well, maybe I SHOULD trust it haha. That was a big drop tho. I did start taking diabetes medication Saturday. I wonder if that caused the drop.

Week 4 Loss/Loss for Month: -7

Happy with this obviously but concerned that its too fast. New medication this month may have contributed to this loss however.

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.
02/24 - 207.5 Chinese leftovers today. Likely bad scale tomorrow.
02/25 - 207.5 Pushing more water today. Flush, flush, flush. I notice I updated and posted the wrong challenge on here yesterday which screwed up both my challenge documents. Sorry about that. All fixed now.
02/26 - 207.2 Purposely made a very low carb dinner last night and I watched those snacks! Walked the stairs in my house off & on all day and felt strong in my resolve. I hope today will be another good day for me.
02/27 - 207.6 Two pieces of homemade Amish bread with butter. Otherwise, a pretty good day. I will tighten my belt today.
02/28 - 207.0 Down 0.6 for the round. What an up & down month!
