100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #8

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds

This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.


1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 3991 in the Green, still more than enough to lose a pound (3500 cal) even though it was a shorter week.

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Same as last week's goal (which i didn't reach)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 133.3
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 4770 - more than enough to lose a pound

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5295 in the Green, should have lost a pound

Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do.
Day 23: Tues, 4/27:
Day 24: Wed, 4/28:
Day 25: Thurs, 4/29:
Day 26: Fri, 4/30:
Day 27: Sat, 5/1:

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
4th Week Actual Weight:
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit):


Start weight April 05.21: 133.1
Goal weight 123.1 (I have yet to reach this 10 pounds in 100 before, but aiming for it anyway)

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)

STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6

Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Down a pound. The question is can I keep it off? Good luck everyone this new 100.
Day 02 – 04/06 …..205.6….. Ending in a point 6 yet again. Strange but I’ll take it since it means a whole pound lost from day before. Right now I feel committed to weaning and testing lactose intolerance and getting more movement by going up and down the stairs or in & out patio door for a minute or two at a time to walk to the back of the yard and back a couple of times, even during the Reno. Thank you better weather! We usually do get snow here in April and May as well. Flurries mainly but sometimes a very big 8” to 12” snow storm. It just doesn’t feel like that will happen this year but we shall see!
Day 03 – 04/07 …..207.6….. Too good to last I guess. No bad diet yesterday. I did have one glass of milk in the evening. Lots of healthy veggies. However, only 3.5 hours of sleep which happened a few days ago too. Went to sleep pretty early for me (exhausted) then woke up earlier than usual because of it. I was completely awake. Also my dinner last night was actually very late and within an hour of falling asleep. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. I will try to eat earlier and will probably get back to my usual 4 hours (or occasional 5) since I didn’t sleep much last night. I dream someday of sleeping 7 hours or more, but I just don’t seem to need it.
Day 04 – 04/08 …..208.2….. Very healthy eating again. Went on my first hike yesterday evening following the river for several miles. It was nice that the work crew stopped working at 5:00 pm and I could get away. Uptick was probably from two 12 oz mixed drinks last night. I am usually alcohol free so this was an exception.
Day 05 - 04/09 …..207.8….. A little better. Not too much movement yesterday due to the rain. I did get outside just prior to rake and move some more leaves. Rain expected next 4 days (at least) so I will have to use my stairs at home to get some movement in. Crew expected to work today.
Day 06 – 04/10 …..207.2….. Slowly dropping back down. More than likely the spike was sodium rather than the alcohol but not sure. Come on 6! I want to meet @Lilylady3k there!
Day 07 – 04/11 …..206.4….. I am not proud of how I hit the 6’s. It was NOT intentional but I was so busy in a random way that I completely forgot to have dinner. I think it was because of a late lunch. Anyway, by the time I felt hungry and realized, I reached for some think cookies and a glass of milk which filled me up. Yes, I made cookies my dinner. So I am not sure if this weight will last but yay, the 6’s. I will try to be better today although I am having a worker (and his family) here today and they tend to stay late. He is an excrutiatingly slow worker but adept otherwise. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
Day 08 – 04/12 …..207.4….. Well, of course I am disappointed with the uptick. I followed a good plan yesterday and got in some yardwork before the rain, burning plenty of calories. The yard has plenty of work needed as the house was empty for awhile before I bought it and I live in a rural area with nothing but trees, pine needles and leaves everywhere. I ended up having 3 meals yesterday which was more calories and carbs, but the meals were within a good budget. Back to two meals today!
Day 09 – 04/13 …..207.2….. Better.
Day 10 – 04/14 …..207.6….. Likely due to no TMI. Yesterday was a good day all around.
Day 11 – 04/15 …..207.6….. 2 slices of pizza I should not have eaten. I burned a ton of calories doing yardwork so thankfully, no gain.
Day 12 – 04/16 …..207.2….. More yard work yesterday evening. Slow day on the Reno. I bring my own supplies to save megabucks (due to travel) but my truck was not done yet in the shop. I get it back today. I won’t travel on the weekends to the big towns for supplies (Covid fears with big populations) so I won’t be able to get them until next week. I am okay with that as the work days are short allowing for the yard work. I’m happy with a nearly half pound drop. I am going to try to eat well today. Paired with better eating and I should hit the 6’s again.
Day 13 – 04/17 …..206.6….. There’s my 6’s! Hopefully into the 5’s over the next week. Trying to stay focused and positive but it’s difficult at times.
Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2….. This is so frustrating. I just cannot begin to tell you how hopeless I feel. The only thing that has cheered me up today were the pictures of @Lilylady3K flowers! I didn’t make the BEST choices yesterday due to time constraints but my calories were still under. My menu: One small blueberry bagel topped with Lite cream cheese and a drizzle of raw unfiltered local honey for breakfast, Black Coffee. No lunch, just water. Dinner: One baked lemon pepper chicken breast with a side of yellow rice with fresh mushrooms and onion added to the pan. Approx 1 cup. 12 oz lowfat regular milk. Snack: 1 fudgecicle. I gained over 1.5 pounds! 12,574 steps. 5.31 miles. 2748 calories burned. No TMI this morning. 3 hours 27 minutes of sleep. Late dinner. Early weigh-in. That is the whole story. I know there are factors but most of them are pretty typical. Just hate my journey right now. No progress. No sense of achievement. No joy.
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0….. I am feeling more grateful, more blessed and at more peace today. Today I travel which will mean dinner out. I will try to make good choices, especially on quantity. Yesterdays yard work yielded 19,281 ssteps, 8.15 miles and 3359 calories burned. It really helped the scale. Meals were light and meaningful.
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0….. Nothing extra popped up on the scale from the travel yesterday. Sometimes it takes a few days but I can always hope…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..Good day yesterday. However, very very late dinner and very early weigh in probably explains. Travel today to the dentist. UGH.
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2….. slightly up after yesterday’s travels. More travels today (Covid #2 shot) but I may try to just eat at home as I will be home in just a matter of a few (3-4) hours. Last night was an indulgent dessert that was way too dense and sweet. I should have left some of it on the plate but I didn’t. I’m glad the uptick is only 0.2 . Hopefully more will not creep up on the scale later because of it.
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6….. I feel weak, dizzy and horrid today after the shot yesterday but I am still grateful that I could get it. A slight headache too, but no fever or chills. I woke up at 4:00 a.m and couldn’t get back to sleep. There is no way I can stay sitting up today. Even with the expected work crew, I’ve got to stay laying down. Tons of water yesterday. I ended up with subway because we passed one and my brother wanted it so bad (he doesn’t drive). Too much junk last night on the grab and go. Too bad my appetite wasn’t affected. Eating felt fine.
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6….. My scale is all over the place. I think yesterday’s weigh-in may have been because I was super-hydrating after the vaccination and bloated with water (?). Two pounds is a lot to drop when I ate just fine in light of, otherwise, feeling bad Feeling better today. You are right about this thing @Lilylady3k : It is worth feeling like you have the flu for one day in order to be protected. A real flu would last much longer. Today the tree service is coming to chop down some scary trees and my work crew will be here to help with the clean-up and then (hopefully) do a little more work in the bathroom and laundry area. I am grateful for the drop on the scale.
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0….. burned 4000 calories in yardwork yesterday. More scheduled for today. Gnats swarmed and now my right eye is swollen up and I’m itching all over. Will still try to make a good day of it.
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0….. So thrilled! Doing the happy dance. Tree clean-up is complete except for a one small area that they still need to cut up. Bad weather for the next 3 days so that will come later this week. Snow/rain mix today. Thunderstorms tomorrow followed by rain on Wednesday predicted. I am so happy right now. I feel so liberated and smart!

Day 02 – 04/06 …..205.6….. Ending in a point 6 yet again. Strange but I’ll take it since it means a whole pound lost from day before. Right now I feel committed to weaning and testing lactose intolerance and getting more movement by going up and down the stairs or in & out patio door for a minute or two at a time to walk to the back of the yard and back a couple of times, even during the Reno. Thank you better weather! We usually do get snow here in April and May as well. Flurries mainly but sometimes a very big 8” to 12” snow storm.

I know there are factors but most of them are pretty typical. Just hate my journey right now. No progress. No sense of achievement. No joy.
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0….. I am feeling more grateful, more blessed and at more peace today. Today I travel which will mean dinner out. I will try to make good choices, especially on quantity. Yesterdays yard work yielded 19,281 ssteps, 8.15 miles and 3359 calories burned. It really helped the scale. Meals were light and meaningful.

Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0….. So thrilled! Doing the happy dance. Tree clean-up is complete except for a one small area that they still need to cut up. Bad weather for the next 3 days so that will come later this week. Snow/rain mix today. Thunderstorms tomorrow followed by rain on Wednesday predicted. I am so happy right now. I feel so liberated and smart!
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4….. I am shocked but not shocked. I thought it was too good to be true! Yesterday was an extremely successful day in the food department. Both calories and carbs were very low. So low, in fact, that I experienced a small glucose drop. I caught it very quickly (while idly sitting, sitting, sitting waiting for my limestone pad to be poured, my stumps to be excavated out and my new shed to be brought in by the Amish). I handled the drop easily at the beginning of feeling sickly. No binge. I slept really really good last night with more sleep than normal. The only explanation is that my calorie burn and steps were way down due to having to stay away from the work being done outside. Lots of sitting. Only 5600 steps and only 2200 calories burned. I’ll try to get in more activity today although rain and thunderstorms are on the way any minute. I am still very happy to losing consistently. Even with the uptick overnight, my fat percentage went down. Thai food is being brought in by a friend tonight from out of town for me. Lots of healthy veggies, chicken breast and curry. However, the sodium will not be good. I will eat half today and half tomorrow. Going to push water all day. I liked the look of that number 4 in my readings yesterday. Going to get back there asap.

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds

This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.


1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 3991 in the Green, still more than enough to lose a pound (3500 cal) even though it was a shorter week.

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Same as last week's goal (which i didn't reach)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 133.3
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 4770 - more than enough to lose a pound

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5295 in the Green, should have lost a pound

Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning.
Day 25: Thurs, 4/29:

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6

Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Down a pound. The question is can I keep it off? Good luck everyone this new 100.
Day 02 – 04/06 …..205.6….. Ending in a point 6 yet again. Strange but I’ll take it since it means a whole pound lost from day before. Right now I feel committed to weaning and testing lactose intolerance and getting more movement by going up and down the stairs or in & out patio door for a minute or two at a time to walk to the back of the yard and back a couple of times, even during the Reno. Thank you better weather! We usually do get snow here in April and May as well. Flurries mainly but sometimes a very big 8” to 12” snow storm. It just doesn’t feel like that will happen this year but we shall see!
Day 03 – 04/07 …..207.6….. Too good to last I guess. No bad diet yesterday. I did have one glass of milk in the evening. Lots of healthy veggies. However, only 3.5 hours of sleep which happened a few days ago too. Went to sleep pretty early for me (exhausted) then woke up earlier than usual because of it. I was completely awake. Also my dinner last night was actually very late and within an hour of falling asleep. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. I will try to eat earlier and will probably get back to my usual 4 hours (or occasional 5) since I didn’t sleep much last night. I dream someday of sleeping 7 hours or more, but I just don’t seem to need it.
Day 04 – 04/08 …..208.2….. Very healthy eating again. Went on my first hike yesterday evening following the river for several miles. It was nice that the work crew stopped working at 5:00 pm and I could get away. Uptick was probably from two 12 oz mixed drinks last night. I am usually alcohol free so this was an exception.
Day 05 - 04/09 …..207.8….. A little better. Not too much movement yesterday due to the rain. I did get outside just prior to rake and move some more leaves. Rain expected next 4 days (at least) so I will have to use my stairs at home to get some movement in. Crew expected to work today.
Day 06 – 04/10 …..207.2….. Slowly dropping back down. More than likely the spike was sodium rather than the alcohol but not sure. Come on 6! I want to meet @Lilylady3k there!
Day 07 – 04/11 …..206.4….. I am not proud of how I hit the 6’s. It was NOT intentional but I was so busy in a random way that I completely forgot to have dinner. I think it was because of a late lunch. Anyway, by the time I felt hungry and realized, I reached for some think cookies and a glass of milk which filled me up. Yes, I made cookies my dinner. So I am not sure if this weight will last but yay, the 6’s. I will try to be better today although I am having a worker (and his family) here today and they tend to stay late. He is an excrutiatingly slow worker but adept otherwise. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
Day 08 – 04/12 …..207.4….. Well, of course I am disappointed with the uptick. I followed a good plan yesterday and got in some yardwork before the rain, burning plenty of calories. The yard has plenty of work needed as the house was empty for awhile before I bought it and I live in a rural area with nothing but trees, pine needles and leaves everywhere. I ended up having 3 meals yesterday which was more calories and carbs, but the meals were within a good budget. Back to two meals today!
Day 09 – 04/13 …..207.2….. Better.
Day 10 – 04/14 …..207.6….. Likely due to no TMI. Yesterday was a good day all around.
Day 11 – 04/15 …..207.6….. 2 slices of pizza I should not have eaten. I burned a ton of calories doing yardwork so thankfully, no gain.
Day 12 – 04/16 …..207.2….. More yard work yesterday evening. Slow day on the Reno. I bring my own supplies to save megabucks (due to travel) but my truck was not done yet in the shop. I get it back today. I won’t travel on the weekends to the big towns for supplies (Covid fears with big populations) so I won’t be able to get them until next week. I am okay with that as the work days are short allowing for the yard work. I’m happy with a nearly half pound drop. I am going to try to eat well today. Paired with better eating and I should hit the 6’s again.
Day 13 – 04/17 …..206.6….. There’s my 6’s! Hopefully into the 5’s over the next week. Trying to stay focused and positive but it’s difficult at times.
Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2….. This is so frustrating. I just cannot begin to tell you how hopeless I feel. The only thing that has cheered me up today were the pictures of @Lilylady3K flowers! I didn’t make the BEST choices yesterday due to time constraints but my calories were still under. My menu: One small blueberry bagel topped with Lite cream cheese and a drizzle of raw unfiltered local honey for breakfast, Black Coffee. No lunch, just water. Dinner: One baked lemon pepper chicken breast with a side of yellow rice with fresh mushrooms and onion added to the pan. Approx 1 cup. 12 oz lowfat regular milk. Snack: 1 fudgecicle. I gained over 1.5 pounds! 12,574 steps. 5.31 miles. 2748 calories burned. No TMI this morning. 3 hours 27 minutes of sleep. Late dinner. Early weigh-in. That is the whole story. I know there are factors but most of them are pretty typical. Just hate my journey right now. No progress. No sense of achievement. No joy.
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0….. I am feeling more grateful, more blessed and at more peace today. Today I travel which will mean dinner out. I will try to make good choices, especially on quantity. Yesterdays yard work yielded 19,281 ssteps, 8.15 miles and 3359 calories burned. It really helped the scale. Meals were light and meaningful.
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0….. Nothing extra popped up on the scale from the travel yesterday. Sometimes it takes a few days but I can always hope…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..Good day yesterday. However, very very late dinner and very early weigh in probably explains. Travel today to the dentist. UGH.
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2….. slightly up after yesterday’s travels. More travels today (Covid #2 shot) but I may try to just eat at home as I will be home in just a matter of a few (3-4) hours. Last night was an indulgent dessert that was way too dense and sweet. I should have left some of it on the plate but I didn’t. I’m glad the uptick is only 0.2 . Hopefully more will not creep up on the scale later because of it.
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6….. I feel weak, dizzy and horrid today after the shot yesterday but I am still grateful that I could get it. A slight headache too, but no fever or chills. I woke up at 4:00 a.m and couldn’t get back to sleep. There is no way I can stay sitting up today. Even with the expected work crew, I’ve got to stay laying down. Tons of water yesterday. I ended up with subway because we passed one and my brother wanted it so bad (he doesn’t drive). Too much junk last night on the grab and go. Too bad my appetite wasn’t affected. Eating felt fine.
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6….. My scale is all over the place. I think yesterday’s weigh-in may have been because I was super-hydrating after the vaccination and bloated with water (?). Two pounds is a lot to drop when I ate just fine in light of, otherwise, feeling bad Feeling better today. You are right about this thing @Lilylady3k : It is worth feeling like you have the flu for one day in order to be protected. A real flu would last much longer. Today the tree service is coming to chop down some scary trees and my work crew will be here to help with the clean-up and then (hopefully) do a little more work in the bathroom and laundry area. I am grateful for the drop on the scale.
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0….. burned 4000 calories in yardwork yesterday. More scheduled for today. Gnats swarmed and now my right eye is swollen up and I’m itching all over. Will still try to make a good day of it.
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0….. So thrilled! Doing the happy dance. Tree clean-up is complete except for a one small area that they still need to cut up. Bad weather for the next 3 days so that will come later this week. Snow/rain mix today. Thunderstorms tomorrow followed by rain on Wednesday predicted. I am so happy right now. I feel so liberated and smart!
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4….. I am shocked but not shocked. I thought it was too good to be true! Yesterday was an extremely successful day in the food department. Both calories and carbs were very low. So low, in fact, that I experienced a small glucose drop. I caught it very quickly (while idly sitting, sitting, sitting waiting for my limestone pad to be poured, my stumps to be excavated out and my new shed to be brought in by the Amish). I handled the drop easily at the beginning of feeling sickly. No binge. I slept really really good last night with more sleep than normal. The only explanation is that my calorie burn and steps were way down due to having to stay away from the work being done outside. Lots of sitting. Only 5600 steps and only 2200 calories burned. I’ll try to get in more activity today although rain and thunderstorms are on the way any minute. I am still very happy to losing consistently. Even with the uptick overnight, my fat percentage went down. Thai food is being brought in by a friend tonight from out of town for me. Lots of healthy veggies, chicken breast and curry. However, the sodium will not be good. I will eat half today and half tomorrow. Going to push water all day. I liked the look of that number 4 in my readings yesterday. Going to get back there asap.
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6….. No Thai food afterall which was probably a blessing. Weight is still trending down at trendweight.com . Fat % is really going down. It now says I will reach my goal by 2023. That is way way better than the 2050’s and the 2030’s so I am pleased.

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds

This is my 6th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
19.3 total loss over 4 rounds, 400 days. Round 5 loss 4.6.
23.9 pound loss over 500 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.


1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 3991 in the Green, still more than enough to lose a pound (3500 cal) even though it was a shorter week.

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Same as last week's goal (which i didn't reach)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: 133.3
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker: 4770 - more than enough to lose a pound

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Running goal until I hit it
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.5
Excess calories left over in the Green on the tracker (deficit): 5295 in the Green, should have lost a pound

Day 21: Sun, 4/25: 134.3 - Not very happy with this number. 528 in the Green
Day 22: Mon, 4/26:133.5 - I worked a split shift yesterday, so ate later than I like to do. 842 in the Green
Day 23: Tues, 4/27: 132.7 - Hopefully adapting to my newest work schedule and can begin to drop some more weight again. 986 in the Green
Day 24: Wed, 4/28: 131.9 - That was really nice to see this morning.
Day 25: Thurs, 4/29: 132.2 - Planning on having something a bit more indulgent tonight after work.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ (April 5th through July 12, 2021)
My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA




“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

STARTING WEIGHT (April 4, 2021): 207.6

Day 01 – 04/05 …..206.6….. Down a pound. The question is can I keep it off? Good luck everyone this new 100.
Day 02 – 04/06 …..205.6….. Ending in a point 6 yet again. Strange but I’ll take it since it means a whole pound lost from day before. Right now I feel committed to weaning and testing lactose intolerance and getting more movement by going up and down the stairs or in & out patio door for a minute or two at a time to walk to the back of the yard and back a couple of times, even during the Reno. Thank you better weather! We usually do get snow here in April and May as well. Flurries mainly but sometimes a very big 8” to 12” snow storm. It just doesn’t feel like that will happen this year but we shall see!
Day 03 – 04/07 …..207.6….. Too good to last I guess. No bad diet yesterday. I did have one glass of milk in the evening. Lots of healthy veggies. However, only 3.5 hours of sleep which happened a few days ago too. Went to sleep pretty early for me (exhausted) then woke up earlier than usual because of it. I was completely awake. Also my dinner last night was actually very late and within an hour of falling asleep. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. I will try to eat earlier and will probably get back to my usual 4 hours (or occasional 5) since I didn’t sleep much last night. I dream someday of sleeping 7 hours or more, but I just don’t seem to need it.
Day 04 – 04/08 …..208.2….. Very healthy eating again. Went on my first hike yesterday evening following the river for several miles. It was nice that the work crew stopped working at 5:00 pm and I could get away. Uptick was probably from two 12 oz mixed drinks last night. I am usually alcohol free so this was an exception.
Day 05 - 04/09 …..207.8….. A little better. Not too much movement yesterday due to the rain. I did get outside just prior to rake and move some more leaves. Rain expected next 4 days (at least) so I will have to use my stairs at home to get some movement in. Crew expected to work today.
Day 06 – 04/10 …..207.2….. Slowly dropping back down. More than likely the spike was sodium rather than the alcohol but not sure. Come on 6! I want to meet @Lilylady3k there!
Day 07 – 04/11 …..206.4….. I am not proud of how I hit the 6’s. It was NOT intentional but I was so busy in a random way that I completely forgot to have dinner. I think it was because of a late lunch. Anyway, by the time I felt hungry and realized, I reached for some think cookies and a glass of milk which filled me up. Yes, I made cookies my dinner. So I am not sure if this weight will last but yay, the 6’s. I will try to be better today although I am having a worker (and his family) here today and they tend to stay late. He is an excrutiatingly slow worker but adept otherwise. Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
Day 08 – 04/12 …..207.4….. Well, of course I am disappointed with the uptick. I followed a good plan yesterday and got in some yardwork before the rain, burning plenty of calories. The yard has plenty of work needed as the house was empty for awhile before I bought it and I live in a rural area with nothing but trees, pine needles and leaves everywhere. I ended up having 3 meals yesterday which was more calories and carbs, but the meals were within a good budget. Back to two meals today!
Day 09 – 04/13 …..207.2….. Better.
Day 10 – 04/14 …..207.6….. Likely due to no TMI. Yesterday was a good day all around.
Day 11 – 04/15 …..207.6….. 2 slices of pizza I should not have eaten. I burned a ton of calories doing yardwork so thankfully, no gain.
Day 12 – 04/16 …..207.2….. More yard work yesterday evening. Slow day on the Reno. I bring my own supplies to save megabucks (due to travel) but my truck was not done yet in the shop. I get it back today. I won’t travel on the weekends to the big towns for supplies (Covid fears with big populations) so I won’t be able to get them until next week. I am okay with that as the work days are short allowing for the yard work. I’m happy with a nearly half pound drop. I am going to try to eat well today. Paired with better eating and I should hit the 6’s again.
Day 13 – 04/17 …..206.6….. There’s my 6’s! Hopefully into the 5’s over the next week. Trying to stay focused and positive but it’s difficult at times.
Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2….. This is so frustrating. I just cannot begin to tell you how hopeless I feel. The only thing that has cheered me up today were the pictures of @Lilylady3K flowers! I didn’t make the BEST choices yesterday due to time constraints but my calories were still under. My menu: One small blueberry bagel topped with Lite cream cheese and a drizzle of raw unfiltered local honey for breakfast, Black Coffee. No lunch, just water. Dinner: One baked lemon pepper chicken breast with a side of yellow rice with fresh mushrooms and onion added to the pan. Approx 1 cup. 12 oz lowfat regular milk. Snack: 1 fudgecicle. I gained over 1.5 pounds! 12,574 steps. 5.31 miles. 2748 calories burned. No TMI this morning. 3 hours 27 minutes of sleep. Late dinner. Early weigh-in. That is the whole story. I know there are factors but most of them are pretty typical. Just hate my journey right now. No progress. No sense of achievement. No joy.
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0….. I am feeling more grateful, more blessed and at more peace today. Today I travel which will mean dinner out. I will try to make good choices, especially on quantity. Yesterdays yard work yielded 19,281 ssteps, 8.15 miles and 3359 calories burned. It really helped the scale. Meals were light and meaningful.
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0….. Nothing extra popped up on the scale from the travel yesterday. Sometimes it takes a few days but I can always hope…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..Good day yesterday. However, very very late dinner and very early weigh in probably explains. Travel today to the dentist. UGH.
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2….. slightly up after yesterday’s travels. More travels today (Covid #2 shot) but I may try to just eat at home as I will be home in just a matter of a few (3-4) hours. Last night was an indulgent dessert that was way too dense and sweet. I should have left some of it on the plate but I didn’t. I’m glad the uptick is only 0.2 . Hopefully more will not creep up on the scale later because of it.
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6….. I feel weak, dizzy and horrid today after the shot yesterday but I am still grateful that I could get it. A slight headache too, but no fever or chills. I woke up at 4:00 a.m and couldn’t get back to sleep. There is no way I can stay sitting up today. Even with the expected work crew, I’ve got to stay laying down. Tons of water yesterday. I ended up with subway because we passed one and my brother wanted it so bad (he doesn’t drive). Too much junk last night on the grab and go. Too bad my appetite wasn’t affected. Eating felt fine.
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6….. My scale is all over the place. I think yesterday’s weigh-in may have been because I was super-hydrating after the vaccination and bloated with water (?). Two pounds is a lot to drop when I ate just fine in light of, otherwise, feeling bad Feeling better today. You are right about this thing @Lilylady3k : It is worth feeling like you have the flu for one day in order to be protected. A real flu would last much longer. Today the tree service is coming to chop down some scary trees and my work crew will be here to help with the clean-up and then (hopefully) do a little more work in the bathroom and laundry area. I am grateful for the drop on the scale.
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0….. burned 4000 calories in yardwork yesterday. More scheduled for today. Gnats swarmed and now my right eye is swollen up and I’m itching all over. Will still try to make a good day of it.
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0….. So thrilled! Doing the happy dance. Tree clean-up is complete except for a one small area that they still need to cut up. Bad weather for the next 3 days so that will come later this week. Snow/rain mix today. Thunderstorms tomorrow followed by rain on Wednesday predicted. I am so happy right now. I feel so liberated and smart!
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4….. I am shocked but not shocked. I thought it was too good to be true! Yesterday was an extremely successful day in the food department. Both calories and carbs were very low. So low, in fact, that I experienced a small glucose drop. I caught it very quickly (while idly sitting, sitting, sitting waiting for my limestone pad to be poured, my stumps to be excavated out and my new shed to be brought in by the Amish). I handled the drop easily at the beginning of feeling sickly. No binge. I slept really really good last night with more sleep than normal. The only explanation is that my calorie burn and steps were way down due to having to stay away from the work being done outside. Lots of sitting. Only 5600 steps and only 2200 calories burned. I’ll try to get in more activity today although rain and thunderstorms are on the way any minute. I am still very happy to losing consistently. Even with the uptick overnight, my fat percentage went down. Thai food is being brought in by a friend tonight from out of town for me. Lots of healthy veggies, chicken breast and curry. However, the sodium will not be good. I will eat half today and half tomorrow. Going to push water all day. I liked the look of that number 4 in my readings yesterday. Going to get back there asap.
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6….. No Thai food afterall which was probably a blessing. Weight is still trending down at trendweight.com . Fat % is really going down. It now says I will reach my goal by 2023. That is way way better than the 2050’s and the 2030’s so I am pleased.
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!

Day 14 – 04/18 …..208.2…..
Day 15 – 04/19 …..206.0…..
Day 16 – 04/20 …..206.0….. Nothing extra popped up on the scale from the travel yesterday. Sometimes it takes a few days but I can always hope…..
Day 17 - 04/21 …..207.0…..Good day yesterday. However, very very late dinner and very early weigh in probably explains. Travel today to the dentist. UGH.
Day 18 – 04/22 …..207.2….. slightly up after yesterday’s travels. More travels today (Covid #2 shot) but I may try to just eat at home as I will be home in just a matter of a few (3-4) hours. Last night was an indulgent dessert that was way too dense and sweet. I should have left some of it on the plate but I didn’t. I’m glad the uptick is only 0.2 . Hopefully more will not creep up on the scale later because of it.
Day 19 – 04/23 …..208.6….. I feel weak, dizzy and horrid today after the shot yesterday but I am still grateful that I could get it. A slight headache too, but no fever or chills. I woke up at 4:00 a.m and couldn’t get back to sleep. There is no way I can stay sitting up today. Even with the expected work crew, I’ve got to stay laying down. Tons of water yesterday. I ended up with subway because we passed one and my brother wanted it so bad (he doesn’t drive). Too much junk last night on the grab and go. Too bad my appetite wasn’t affected. Eating felt fine.
Day 20 – 04/24 …..206.6….. My scale is all over the place. I think yesterday’s weigh-in may have been because I was super-hydrating after the vaccination and bloated with water (?). Two pounds is a lot to drop when I ate just fine in light of, otherwise, feeling bad Feeling better today. You are right about this thing @Lilylady3k : It is worth feeling like you have the flu for one day in order to be protected. A real flu would last much longer. Today the tree service is coming to chop down some scary trees and my work crew will be here to help with the clean-up and then (hopefully) do a little more work in the bathroom and laundry area. I am grateful for the drop on the scale.
Day 21 – 04/25 …..206.0….. burned 4000 calories in yardwork yesterday. More scheduled for today. Gnats swarmed and now my right eye is swollen up and I’m itching all over. Will still try to make a good day of it.
Day 22 – 04/26 …..204.0….. So thrilled! Doing the happy dance. Tree clean-up is complete except for a one small area that they still need to cut up. Bad weather for the next 3 days so that will come later this week. Snow/rain mix today. Thunderstorms tomorrow followed by rain on Wednesday predicted. I am so happy right now. I feel so liberated and smart!
Day 23 – 04/27 …..205.4….. I am shocked but not shocked. I thought it was too good to be true! Yesterday was an extremely successful day in the food department. Both calories and carbs were very low. So low, in fact, that I experienced a small glucose drop. I caught it very quickly (while idly sitting, sitting, sitting waiting for my limestone pad to be poured, my stumps to be excavated out and my new shed to be brought in by the Amish). I handled the drop easily at the beginning of feeling sickly. No binge. I slept really really good last night with more sleep than normal. The only explanation is that my calorie burn and steps were way down due to having to stay away from the work being done outside. Lots of sitting. Only 5600 steps and only 2200 calories burned. I’ll try to get in more activity today although rain and thunderstorms are on the way any minute. I am still very happy to losing consistently. Even with the uptick overnight, my fat percentage went down. Thai food is being brought in by a friend tonight from out of town for me. Lots of healthy veggies, chicken breast and curry. However, the sodium will not be good. I will eat half today and half tomorrow. Going to push water all day. I liked the look of that number 4 in my readings yesterday. Going to get back there asap.
Day 24 – 04/28 …..205.6….. No Thai food afterall which was probably a blessing. Weight is still trending down at trendweight.com . Fat % is really going down. It now says I will reach my goal by 2023. That is way way better than the 2050’s and the 2030’s so I am pleased.
Day 25 – 04/29 …..207.2….. I have no idea what is going on. It was a meatless day yesterday. All veggies for dinner with a little sour cream and oatmeal for breakfast. Very low calorie. The only thing I can think of is that I did have some sunflower seed kernals for a snack last night. A small measured amount but they were salted. I will watch my diet carefully today and push water and see what happens tomorrow. I do know this…..my body really wants to stay in the 7’s and I’m just not having it!
Day 26 – 04/30 …..206.2….. Horridly high glucose in the middle of the night. Almost called an ambulance (there is a tiny hospital one hour away) when my numbers hit 565. Should be about 80-90. Found some old medication I am no longer on to supplement my current diabetes medication and took it. Walked my backyard in the dark and downed some apple cider vinegar shots. Finally, after no sleep, I got it down to 200. The hunger (a symptom) was ravenous but food would have made a high glucose level worse so I had to suffer through that. Tweaking my diet, trying to change things up for the better is just affecting me in an unfair way. It’s an obstacle course but I will continue to try to navigate it and get to the other side with the changes I need. I see my doctor on the 11th. I will talk to her about my options although I HATE the idea of going back on extra meds because I can’t seem to substantially lose weight. I am nervous about how today will go. Watching things carefully. In the meantime, I am grateful for the drop on the scale and the small loss for April.
