My name is Tina
MFP starting weight: 149
May starting weight: 142.6 (4/31 weight)
May goal: 135
Ultimate goal: 125
Height: 5'6"
Age: 53
Week 1:
5/1 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
Week 2:
5/2 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
5/3 - 144
5/4 - 144 trying to get correct calorie number
5/5 - 142.2
5/6 - 142.2
5/7 - 142.2 - Stuck. Was hoping for a little drop, but happy it didn't climb. Need to study my calorie intake and
see where I need to adjust. Good upper body workout last night. Feeling some muscle soreness this
morning. Pouring down rain so was not able to get a walk in as well.
5/8 - ? no scale, out of town. Did get in a 4.39 mile walk/run. Hoping scales look decent on Monday morning.
Week 3:
5/9 - ? no scale, out of town but I know it's not good. Thunderstorms, not walk. No workout. Fingers crossed tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad. Indulged a bit too much for Mother's Day.
5/10 - 144 should have controlled myself more yesterday but truly enjoyed my poor choices. Lunch out with my kids and did not make healthy choices. Back on track today. Need to be diligent this week in losing the almost 2 pound gain.
5/11 - 143.2:)
5/12 - 141.6 That Mother's Day increase is gone! Much faster than I expected.
5/13 - 141.0
5/14 - 141.0
5/15 - ? no scale, out of town.
5/16 - ? no scale, out of town.
5/17 - 146.2 So disappointment with myself. Totally lost all control of my willpower over the weekend. Really need to take my scale with me when I am not at home. It holds me accountable. This is going to be a rough week trying to get rid of that five pound gain. So upset with myself, but I will move on. Still two weeks of the month left to improve.7 -
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 week
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 15m, walk 3-5m (depending on how I'm feeling), 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.
5/17 M - 189.2 Happy to report I did get the dogs out for a walk yesterday. Today is rainy, my old leg breaks are aching so glad I wasn't planning to run. Goal is a treadmill walk later though.

5/6: 197.0 lbs this was exciting but I'm not expecting this to stick. lol
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. 😂
5/10: 198.2 lbs I hope everyone had a great weekend!
5/11: 198.4 lbs I ate so much junk yesterday. it was within my calorie limit but it was junk and much later than normal. here's hoping i make better choices today.
5/12: 197.8 lbs
5/13: 197.0 lbs super late weigh in after a fasted run.
5/14: 198.8 lbs I woke up super bloated this morning for some reason. I can't believe I had this almost 2 lb gain overnight. I didn't eat much yesterday and I didn't eat late. IDK what's going on.
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. 😂😂😂

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.
05/15 - 206.6 Spa day today with my two daughters as late celebration for my birthday. I can’t wait!
05/16 - 206.8 After 3 different days of celebrations this week, I am grateful to remain steady. I just hope none of it “catches up to me” in the coming days.

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!

5/14: 144
Week 2 Loss: -0.4
5/15: 144.8 Possible water retention because I was well under my calories yesterday and had over 10K steps.
5/16: 148.8
5/17: 149.6 Had a very indulgent off-plan weekend.

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.
05/15 - 206.6 Spa day today with my two daughters as late celebration for my birthday. I can’t wait!
05/16 - 206.8 After 3 different days of celebrations this week, I am grateful to remain steady. I just hope none of it “catches up to me” in the coming days.
05/17 - 206.8 Ice Cream last night gifted from my daughter. Not good for me in anyway. I’ll talk to her tonight about her “gifts”. Maybe she can take a walk with me from time to time instead.

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 😸

5/13: 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!

5/18: rest day, but a little under my daily steps so might do something easy around the house5 -
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 week
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 15m, walk 3-5m (depending on how I'm feeling), 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.
5/17 M - 189.2 Happy to report I did get the dogs out for a walk yesterday. Today is rainy, my old leg breaks are aching so glad I wasn't planning to run. Goal is a treadmill walk later though.
5/18 T - (run) 191.0 ugh, salt yesterday. Late checking in but had a great run tonight, a solid 45min run. Yay me! Legs felt good, breathing was good. I think two runs/week is a good plan for right now, with lots of walking the other days.
