I am Dawn. 60, 5'2"
MFP Start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
UGW 115-ish
Daily weighing keeps me accountable and prevents me from a few extra snacks the night before.
Week 1:
3/1: 136.0 - Up from last month's end weight.
3/2: 135.0 - Going to use this as my month start weight, not yesterday's fluctuation.
3/3: 133.0 - Well, that is more like it!! Hit this number once before, very happy to see it.
3/4: 132.2 - New low : - )
3/5: 134.1 - That is a bit of a jump, but I'm okay with it. I indulged a little bit last night.
3/6: 134.9 - Ouch.
3/7: 133.8 - More reasonable. I will get in extra workouts today, day off.
Week 2:
3/8: 134.7 - Completely on track. I try not to get too upset with these jumps from day to day.
3/9: 134.7 - Had hoped for a slight decrease.
3/10: 133.3 - I like the fluctuations better when they go in this direction : - )
3/11: 133.4
3/12: 133.7
3/13: 134.1 - Ow, no reason for the gain. If I stay on track I know that it will come back down.
3/14: 134.3 - I have got to get on top of this.
Week 3:
3/15: 134.2 - Working to get this down.
3/16: 133.8
3/17: 132.8 - Well, Yay!!
3/18: 132.4 - Hooray!
3/19: 133.0 - Lots of activity and well within my calories yesterday. There is some ice skating starting up for March break, it starts tomorrow and goes right until March 31st. The last skating of the season and I am rearranging my schedule so that I can skate every day : - )
3/20: 133.0 - Ice skating today in an arena that is temporarily opening for March break. I booked 11 skates (had to pre-book and will have to wear a mask) up until March 31.21 every day starting Monday. Ice skating lifts my spirits, and also burns a great deal of calories, so hoping to end the month strong and fit.
3/21 133.5 - This uptick could be from 2 or 3 days ago, that seems to be how it works. Hoping to hit that 132.4 again soon.
Week 4:
3/22 131.7 - Wow!! I imagine that it will fluctuate, but super pumped to hit this number!
3/23: 132.6
3/24: 131.8
3/25: 132.7
3/26: 132.6 - Expecting a drop soon, today will be day 5 of 6 consecutive days of ice skating.
3/27: 131.7 - Happy to see this number again. Planned indulgences for my friend's birthday today and tomorrow. Ice skating this morning, so will at least burn a bunch of calories first.

Week 2 Loss: -3.2
3/15: 151.8 Didnโt eat dinner last night because I was still stuffed from a very late lunch.

3/17: 152.6
3/18: 152.8 Hope I can hang on to this for tomorrow, my official weigh-in day. Eating lunch out today, have meal picked out and logged, and will be drinking plenty water today to flush out the sodium.

My name is Donna. I am 5โ 5โ tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA.
(From Feb 28, 2021) Starting weight: 207.0
Goal: 202.0
03/01 โ 206.6 Off to a good start. Hoping for a good finish with no getting lost on the way! Good luck everyone!
03/02 - 207.4 Nighttime snacks with milk during documentary. Ugg! Here goes the roller coaster ride!
03/03 - 207.0 I am very happy with this. I traveled yesterday and managed still see some downward movement. The good dining choices paid off!
03/04 - 208.4 A severe glucose drop last night. I kept my cool pretty good. A bowl of cereal with milk very late night did not help my scale this morning, but it did fix the symptoms. Aiming for a well-balanced day today. Tomorrow is travel out-of-town for my appointment with attorney. Time to update my will. I havenโt made changes since my husband died 5 years ago. My children are all grown since I originally made my will which changes things. Also, with the recent sale of my two businesses, it really needs to be done. I will try to keep any luncheon choices reasonable. Milk always seems to bloat me up. Perhaps I have become a bit lactose intolerant? Disappointed but not discouraged!
03/05 - 208.4 Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesnโt want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
03/06 - 208.4 Travel yesterday with restaurant did not show up on the scale. I am grateful but watchful as it sometimes sneaks on a few days later. I am going to try to eat lighter today without anything too drastic. Because of the diabetes episodes of late, I am easing inโฆ..
03/07 - 207.6 Very happy with this. Tonight is a Pizza Takeout Dinner after the work crew leaves. I am holding a family meeting at about 5:30 in regards to my Will and Trust. It is part of my homework and will be a difficult evening. I hope the scale will understand and be kind.
03/08 - 208.2 Pizza last night during the family dinner. I kept the meal smaller than my usual but I still probably deserve this.
03/09 โ 206.8 That makes me smile today finally! That is a smidgen over starting weight. Nowโฆโฆto lose some weight this month!
03/10 โ 204.8 Wow! That was a nice drop. That may explain the severe glucose drop again last night. This time it actually woke me out of a deep sleep which is quite unusual. Middle of the night food and drink remedy I thought would really hurt the scale but so far so good. My body is fighting me tooth and nail but slow and steady will win the race. As my weight improves, my glucose will improve too. When I drop and sustain for a bit, I will seek a medication check-up. The doctor wonโt change a thing when my weight loss is only temporary downs and ultimately sustaining the higher weights. Another goal to reach for!
03/11 โ 206.2 The two pound overnight loss was a bit drastic so my body has adjusted. Still moving downward in my trends and still down 0.6 from day before yesterday. I am happy to be on track with food and movement. I hope today will be another good day. I donโt always trust myself on one side of my brain, but the other side is the babysitter and will try to keep that unruly child in me in check!
03/12 โ 207.0 Out to dinner. This number will pass. Family emergency today.
03/13 - 207.2 My daughter and 3 yr old grandson decided to move in last night in an emergency. This will be a challenge within a challenge. Menus will be challenging. I donโt know how long this will be for but I am glad my daughter and grandson are safe and okay. This could be a minute or awhile. We shall see.
03/14 - 207.2 Traveling today for renovation supplies. Lunch will be out.
03/15 - 207.2 Not doing well on the diet with the houseful of people daily. Between family moving in and the renovation crew, my life is upside down! Doing my best here but I just donโt have the space, the energy or the privacy I need to cook multiple dinners, lunches, etc. I already cook 2 different ones per meal due to my sonโs autism and eating disorders. Iโm not going to throw my hands up. I will find the answers.
03/16 - 207.0 In the right direction. This lands me right back at starting weight. It is time to make some real progress. Tomorrow is travel and restaurant lunch so I will try not to take two steps backward!
03/17 - DNW. I forgot to grab a scale read before the hectic morning rush and trip. Travel went well. Appointment was good. Pizza luncheon was truly the best Iโve ever tasted. Scale may go up tomorrow but I did keep my portions to a minimum.
03/18 - 207.4 Iโm happy that it isnโt higher after travel. I can deal with this. Tonight is our (late) St. Pattyโs Day dinner. High in sodium so Iโm pushing water today already.
03/19 โ 207.4 No change is a plus after the late St. Pattyโs Day meal. Iโll take it!
03/20 - 207.0 Leftover corned beef last night. Pushed water in the hopes that it wouldnโt do too much damage. It worked!
03/21 โ 208.4 Iโm playing the no TMI/Potty game. Calories were under although it could have been more nutritious calories.
03/22 โ 207.4 Iโm pleasantly surprised after the birthday party yesterday for my DGS. I hope this sticks!
03/23 - 209.0 My daughter brought Dairy Queen home from out of town. 2 chili dogs that tasted like a salt shaker and a medium Blizzard. Bloated me up this morning and I hope it is just temporary. I got in almost 12,000 steps yesterday. Over 5 miles on my fitbit and 16 sets of steps just doing housework and chasing DGS. But it was not enough to mitigate the damage.
03/24 - 208.8 Eating emotions during family turmoil. Also, too much junk being brought in by daughter. I need to get a backbone! Lots of movement and steps saved me yesterday. I am not proud of what I ate.
03/25 - 208.2 Daughter was away for the day and night yesterday. My weight went down. Not so much junk! First Covid shot today so I am traveling out-of-town about an hour and a half each way. Hopefully all will go well.
03/26 โ 208.8 After travel weight which is always up. First Covid shot was painless and easy. No major side effects afterward either.
03/27 โ 207.6 Much Better!

03/05 - 208.4 Small quantities but bad choices. Another glucose drop last night. This one was the type that makes you feel drunk. Woozy, unsteady on feet. Strange foot to floor sensations. Clouded thinking and judgement. High fall risk, must hold on to things because of staggering. Not as fast coming on as the feeding frenzy kind but something that has to be dealt with. Very cloudy vision. Strange thinking. Drunk is the only way I can describe it. This shows how out of shape my diet is (when too low calorie or carb puts me in this state). My body doesnโt want the (healthy) change. I will take it slow. Traveling today to work on having my will & trust updated along with some other legal matters. Lunch will be out-of-town. Everything is challenging right now.
03/06 - 208.4 Travel yesterday with restaurant did not show up on the scale. I am grateful but watchful as it sometimes sneaks on a few days later. I am going to try to eat lighter today without anything too drastic. Because of the diabetes episodes of late, I am easing inโฆ..
03/07 - 207.6 Very happy with this. Tonight is a Pizza Takeout Dinner after the work crew leaves. I am holding a family meeting at about 5:30 in regards to my Will and Trust. It is part of my homework and will be a difficult evening. I hope the scale will understand and be kind.
03/08 - 208.2 Pizza last night during the family dinner. I kept the meal smaller than my usual but I still probably deserve this.
03/09 โ 206.8 That makes me smile today finally! That is a smidgen over starting weight. Nowโฆโฆto lose some weight this month!
03/10 โ 204.8 Wow! That was a nice drop. That may explain the severe glucose drop again last night. This time it actually woke me out of a deep sleep which is quite unusual. Middle of the night food and drink remedy I thought would really hurt the scale but so far so good. My body is fighting me tooth and nail but slow and steady will win the race. As my weight improves, my glucose will improve too. When I drop and sustain for a bit, I will seek a medication check-up. The doctor wonโt change a thing when my weight loss is only temporary downs and ultimately sustaining the higher weights. Another goal to reach for!
03/11 โ 206.2 The two pound overnight loss was a bit drastic so my body has adjusted. Still moving downward in my trends and still down 0.6 from day before yesterday. I am happy to be on track with food and movement. I hope today will be another good day. I donโt always trust myself on one side of my brain, but the other side is the babysitter and will try to keep that unruly child in me in check!
03/12 โ 207.0 Out to dinner. This number will pass. Family emergency today.
03/13 - 207.2 My daughter and 3 yr old grandson decided to move in last night in an emergency. This will be a challenge within a challenge. Menus will be challenging. I donโt know how long this will be for but I am glad my daughter and grandson are safe and okay. This could be a minute or awhile. We shall see.
03/14 - 207.2 Traveling today for renovation supplies. Lunch will be out.
03/15 - 207.2 Not doing well on the diet with the houseful of people daily. Between family moving in and the renovation crew, my life is upside down! Doing my best here but I just donโt have the space, the energy or the privacy I need to cook multiple dinners, lunches, etc. I already cook 2 different ones per meal due to my sonโs autism and eating disorders. Iโm not going to throw my hands up. I will find the answers.
03/16 - 207.0 In the right direction. This lands me right back at starting weight. It is time to make some real progress. Tomorrow is travel and restaurant lunch so I will try not to take two steps backward!
03/17 - DNW. I forgot to grab a scale read before the hectic morning rush and trip. Travel went well. Appointment was good. Pizza luncheon was truly the best Iโve ever tasted. Scale may go up tomorrow but I did keep my portions to a minimum.
03/18 - 207.4 Iโm happy that it isnโt higher after travel. I can deal with this. Tonight is our (late) St. Pattyโs Day dinner. High in sodium so Iโm pushing water today already.
03/19 โ 207.4 No change is a plus after the late St. Pattyโs Day meal. Iโll take it!
03/20 - 207.0 Leftover corned beef last night. Pushed water in the hopes that it wouldnโt do too much damage. It worked!
03/21 โ 208.4 Iโm playing the no TMI/Potty game. Calories were under although it could have been more nutritious calories.
03/22 โ 207.4 Iโm pleasantly surprised after the birthday party yesterday for my DGS. I hope this sticks!
03/23 - 209.0 My daughter brought Dairy Queen home from out of town. 2 chili dogs that tasted like a salt shaker and a medium Blizzard. Bloated me up this morning and I hope it is just temporary. I got in almost 12,000 steps yesterday. Over 5 miles on my fitbit and 16 sets of steps just doing housework and chasing DGS. But it was not enough to mitigate the damage.
03/24 - 208.8 Eating emotions during family turmoil. Also, too much junk being brought in by daughter. I need to get a backbone! Lots of movement and steps saved me yesterday. I am not proud of what I ate.
03/25 - 208.2 Daughter was away for the day and night yesterday. My weight went down. Not so much junk! First Covid shot today so I am traveling out-of-town about an hour and a half each way. Hopefully all will go well.
03/26 โ 208.8 After travel weight which is always up. First Covid shot was painless and easy. No major side effects afterward either.
03/27 โ 207.6 Much Better!
03/28 โ 207.6 Itโs like pulling teeth. Such a struggle! But itโs okay, Iโm worth it.

Daily weighing keeps me accountable and prevents me from a few extra snacks the night before.
Week 1:
3/1: 136.0 - Up from last month's end weight.
3/2: 135.0 - Going to use this as my month start weight, not yesterday's fluctuation.
3/3: 133.0 - Well, that is more like it!! Hit this number once before, very happy to see it.
3/4: 132.2 - New low : - )
3/5: 134.1 - That is a bit of a jump, but I'm okay with it. I indulged a little bit last night.
3/6: 134.9 - Ouch.
3/7: 133.8 - More reasonable. I will get in extra workouts today, day off.
Week 2:
3/8: 134.7 - Completely on track. I try not to get too upset with these jumps from day to day.
3/9: 134.7 - Had hoped for a slight decrease.
3/10: 133.3 - I like the fluctuations better when they go in this direction : - )
3/11: 133.4
3/12: 133.7
3/13: 134.1 - Ow, no reason for the gain. If I stay on track I know that it will come back down.
3/14: 134.3 - I have got to get on top of this.
Week 3:

3/20: 133.0 - Ice skating today in an arena that is temporarily opening for March break. I booked 11 skates (had to pre-book and will have to wear a mask) up until March 31.21 every day starting Monday. Ice skating lifts my spirits, and also burns a great deal of calories, so hoping to end the month strong and fit.
3/21 133.5 - This uptick could be from 2 or 3 days ago, that seems to be how it works. Hoping to hit that 132.4 again soon.

3/23: 132.6

3/26: 132.6 - Expecting a drop soon, today will be day 5 of 6 consecutive days of ice skating.
3/27: 131.7 - Happy to see this number again. Planned indulgences for my friend's birthday today and tomorrow. Ice skating this morning, so will at least burn a bunch of calories first.
3/28: 132.8 - Planned pizza for my friend's birthday today, so I will have to get in some extra workouts. My weight gain could hang around for a few days.

@rachjolly - I soooo understand that frustrarion and disappointment! Hang in there and I am sure one of two things will happen. Either the scale will finally move or you will have an "aha" moment and maybe realize something you have been weighing wrong or discover what your body needs more/less of. I wish our bodies were simple addition and subtraction equations, but I think it's more like my son's AP calculus! Lol! Hugs!
@dawnbgethealthy - I felt the ouch for you too! I remember when I had a huge jump after Chinese take out and birthday cake. Ugh. I hope you can flush it out quickly. Hugs!2
