Stats/Conditions:
43 year-old female, height near 5'4"
cancerX2, hypothyroid, menopause, PT
January starting weight: 185.0
February starting weight: 182.3
March starting weight: 178.6
April starting weight: 172.6
May starting weight: 173.9
05/01: 173.9 - Off to a good start - H²O only.
05/02: 170.9 - Salt and sugar flushed away???
05/03: 172.6 - I knew yesterday could not be right.
05/04: 173.1 - I need to plan better.
05/05: 173.4 - Evidence that I need to plan better!
05/06: 175.6 - I totally deserve this number. I allowed myself to totally indulge last night AND have seconds. I also started having an evening cocktail the past few nights once the kids are asleep. I am allowing the comfort of food to control me again. I'm very disappointed in myself.8 -
4/30 weight: 188.0
May goal: end the month lighter than I started
Lessons learned in April:
- processed carbs (including rice and oats, not just gluten items) don't work for me
- need to consistently drink more water
- need to find ways to be more active throughout the day
- be mindful during the weekend!
- daily weigh-ins and the accountability of this group definitely help me stay on track!
4/30 F - 188.0
5/1 S - 189.4 why??? beats me. no gluten or grains yesterday.
Run plan for the week: run 13m, walk 2m, 3 rounds
5/2 S - (run) 191.8 ok so I know why, gluten'd myself yesterday. Working today, run, and take the dogs on a walk.
5/3 M - 188.8 rain today so will walk on the treadmill
5/4 T - (run) 189.4 running today. The run went really well Sunday so am looking forward to it.
I also agree that the weather can help or hurt my desire to be outside moving. The dogs don't seem to understand that concept ;-)
5/5 W - (zumba) 190.4 Yesterday's run went well, discovered that a slight uptick in speed helped...who knew... Zumba today and hoping for a walk as well. Rice last night. I really hate the water fluctuations, so frustrating. Need to fully commit to no processed carbs.
5/6 T - (run) 190.2 cold and rainy today, that helps nothing at all. But today I'm going to work, and then run.
5/7 F -
5/8 S - (run)
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA.
Starting Weight (from April 30, 2021): 206.2
Goal: 201.2 (Five lb Loss)
05/01 – 206.6 Not such a good start. Lots of room for improvement. Good luck this round everyone!
05/02 - 207.4 Severe glucose drop yesterday while on the road which led to a quick feeding frenzy. I hate this roller-coaster but I will not give up. It can be done, no matter how my body fights me. I’m the boss!
05/03 - 207.4 No change after a good day is disappointing me but onward I march in this battle.
05/04 - 206.6 A bit better. Traveling today for a bone scan. I will be gone most of the day. A lot of sitting while driving and a meal out at a restaurant may drive the scale back up. I will try to be mindful.
05/05 - 208.8 Crazy number. Skipped two meals and only ate half my dinner so I could have a piece of cheesecake. It was large but in no way should it have caused a 2.2 pound weight gain overnight! Tomorrow should be better!
05/06 - 208.6 Working it back down I hope.

I did reach my previous UGW of 110 lbs in August 2020 but gained weight every month since and I felt 110 lbs was too low.
I've found my new UGW (maintenance) aim of 115 to 122 lbs. I'm using Fitbod app in hopes of slowly gaining muscle as I reach for my new maintenance goal.
