    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.

    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
    05/13 - 133.2
    05/14 - 131.3 - Happy to see this number!

    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

    5/18 T - (run)
    5/19 W - (zumba)

    5/7: 196.8 lbs well it stayed off for one day. fingers crossed!
    5/8: 198.2 lbs I ate some fries super late last night so I am surprised the jump is this small.
    5/9: 198.6 lbs Happy Mother's Day!! I had a gluten filled cinnamon roll this morning. It was delicious and hopefully worth how bad I feel later. πŸ˜‚
    5/10: 198.2 lbs I hope everyone had a great weekend!
