5/5: fasting day, went for 3 mile hike with my dog this morning and planning on at home workout this evening for at least 30 minutes
5/6: 166 lbs....definitely retaining some water so hopefully I will see a drop next week 🤷♀️ celebrating a friends birthday today, going to a state park to do a bunch of hiking so hopefully I will be burning more calories than we will be consuming tonight 🤞
5/7: over indulged on pizza a bit last night, lots of sodium so going to focus on drinking extra fluids today....hiked a bit over 6 miles yesterday so going to make today a rest day
5/8: long day at work had to force myself to get motivated to take my dog on a 2 mile walk/hike, in the 80’s today so trying to drink extra water
5/9: Happy Mother’s Day! Fasting day, going to work out from home aiming for 45-60 minutes this evening 😸

5/12: fast day, going to do at least a 3 mile hike with my dog. Since I’m fasting going to try and get 80-100 oz of fluids (water or tea) today 🤞
5/13: 161.2 lbs! Much bigger drop than expected....not sure my scale is right??? I guess we will see what my next weigh day shows?? It’s my day off so going to hike this morning, climb a small mountain so should be a great workout 😊 Depending how I feel this evening may do a short workout at home as well and drink lots of water since it may have been a huge help from yesterday!
5/14: should have been a rest day but did a little workout before bed
5/15: going to try and get a hike in after work...the weather is looking stormy all next week 😬

April Starting Weight: 151.8
May Starting Weight: 144.6
May Goal Weight: 140.6
5/1: 144.6
5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable. This has to be some major water retention. I will drown myself in H2O today!
5/3: 147.2
5/4: 146.2
5/5: 146.6
5/6: 145.8

5/9: 149 Too much crawfish yesterday!
5/10: 151.4 Too much Mother’s Day yesterday! Back on track today.
5/11: 147.2 Drank lots of water yesterday.
5/12: 145.6
5/13: 144.4 Weekend bloat gone!
5/14: 144
5/15: 144.8 Possible water retention because I was well under my calories yesterday and had over 10K steps.6 -

@deepwoodslady
Well, I guess that you will get some extra exercise chasing around a toddler : - )
I am a bit nervous about you doing IF with your glucose issues and needing to stay steady, but of course support you for whatever works for you in adjusting your lifestyle/eating habits for the long run.
It really does boil down to calories in calories out no matter the method.
I saw a great chart that I haven't been able to find again that put 6 methods (like Keto, Paleo etc.) into a chart and the last column showed what worked about them each of them and it all came down to reduced calorie intake.
We all eventually find a sweet spot doing something that we can sustain forever.3 -
Hi, I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
MFP start Oct 2018 - 191 pounds
UGW 110-115
Hoping to touch the 120s this month, definitely want to weigh less at the end of the month than what I am starting with. I lost 0.5lbs last month
5/1 Sat - 131.6 - Day off, so more activity and time for meal prep
5/2 Sun - 133.0 - Going to try to not let fluctuations bug me this month
5/3 Mon - 132.2 - Looks like many of us had a weight spike early in the month. Going to try to get back to my start weight this week.
5/4 Tues - 132.4
5/5 Wed - 132.8
5/6 Thurs - 132.0 - Still trying to get back to this month's start weight
5/7 Fri - 131.3 - Up and down. i like the down better : - )
5/8 Sat - 133.8 : - (
05/09 – 134.3 - On track, so very surprised. I will try not to let it stress me out, lots of month left still.
05/10 – 133.2 - Late dinner after working late last night. Hoping to see this number come down soon.
05/11 - 133.8 - I have been "good". Trying not to get frustrated.
05/12 - 133.4

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 - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
5/8 S - forgot to weigh
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/9 S - (run) 187.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
5/11 T - (run) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak
5/12 W - (zumba) 192.0 gotta drink a ton of water today. My run turned into a walk yesterday, and no dog walk.
5/13 T - 191.0 walk today
5/14 F - 191.8 ?????? no walk yesterday, worked too many hours. On I go. I only fail if I quit trying.
5/15 S - (run) 191.0 will run today, get the dogs out for a long walk, and work.
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 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.
05/07 - 208.6 Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/08 - 208.6 Stubborn Fat! Ugg
05/09 – 208.8 Struggling.
05/10 – 208.8 My birthday is today but I am not celebrating until next Sunday. I was really hoping I would have been closer to Onederland by my birthday so this is depressing. However, I’m not done yet!
05/11 - 208.4 Little beads of fat slowly dripping off? I hope so. Happy to see a bit of a loss. I have to remember that 0.4 loss is almost half a pound. Sometimes I want to hop on and see 3 pounds suddenly gone and unless I’m losing water weight, that never happens. Especially with fat. Grateful for each step in the right direction today.
05/12 - 207.4 I seem to be able to fix everyone else in so many ways and on so many levels. But why can’t I fix me? At this point, it is almost all a head game and nothing to do with hunger most of the time. I’m working on it. I am glad to see the scale down today. After my doctors appointment, I’ve realized this is not a want. It’s a need. I just kicked one full pound to the curb! Onward I go deeper into the battle!
05/13 - 207.4 Trying to do a little intermittent fasting. Yesterday was day 2. I was getting very hungry about 2 hours before the end but I used water and black coffee and pushed through. My daughter and DGS aged 3 ½ moved back in yesterday. I am worried about how this will affect my diet.
05/14 - 206.6 Much better. Daughter and DGS were away at dinnertime. That helped.

@dawnbgethealthy
I have done Keto in the past with great success. It was then that some of my diabetic meds were reduced/eliminated. However, I am not quite strong enough for that at this time. All diabetics are supposed to keep carbs on the lower side and choose the RIGHT carbs when you do eat them. So, right now I am watching my calories with a keen eye on lower my carbs to healthy types and levels. Nothing drastic on the carb reductions. One day at a time. The IF does exactly as you said. It reduces the overall calories (and carbs) for the 24 hour period which can result in some loss and some improvement in glucose levels. I will tread softly and carefully for sure!5 -

5/15: 200.2 lbs 😖 this reminds me of a convo with my hubby.... Husband: wow I lost 5 lbs overnight. Does that ever happen to you? Me: no it does not. 😂😂😂5 -

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.
05/07 - 208.6 Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/08 - 208.6 Stubborn Fat! Ugg
05/09 – 208.8 Struggling.
05/10 – 208.8 My birthday is today but I am not celebrating until next Sunday. I was really hoping I would have been closer to Onederland by my birthday so this is depressing. However, I’m not done yet!
05/11 - 208.4 Little beads of fat slowly dripping off? I hope so. Happy to see a bit of a loss. I have to remember that 0.4 loss is almost half a pound. Sometimes I want to hop on and see 3 pounds suddenly gone and unless I’m losing water weight, that never happens. Especially with fat. Grateful for each step in the right direction today.
05/12 - 207.4 I seem to be able to fix everyone else in so many ways and on so many levels. But why can’t I fix me? At this point, it is almost all a head game and nothing to do with hunger most of the time. I’m working on it. I am glad to see the scale down today. After my doctors appointment, I’ve realized this is not a want. It’s a need. I just kicked one full pound to the curb! Onward I go deeper into the battle!
05/13 - 207.4 Trying to do a little intermittent fasting. Yesterday was day 2. I was getting very hungry about 2 hours before the end but I used water and black coffee and pushed through. My daughter and DGS aged 3 ½ moved back in yesterday. I am worried about how this will affect my diet.
05/14 - 206.6 Much better. Daughter and DGS were away at dinnertime. That helped.
05/15 - 206.6 Spa day today with my two daughters as late celebration for my birthday. I can’t wait!

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 - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
5/8 S - forgot to weigh
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/9 S - (run) 187.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
5/11 T - (run) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak
5/12 W - (zumba) 192.0 gotta drink a ton of water today. My run turned into a walk yesterday, and no dog walk.
5/13 T - 191.0 walk today
5/14 F - 191.8 ?????? no walk yesterday, worked too many hours. On I go. I only fail if I quit trying.
5/15 S - (run) 191.0 will run today, get the dogs out for a long walk, and work.
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/16 S - 189.8 ran yesterday and worked, started raining so the dogs didn't get a walk. Today is lunch out with extended family (I have my menu choices already planned), come home and take the dogs out, then work. I need to shift my priorities and put my health before work.
