weekly weigh-in 2021 -- every friday
Name: Joan
5'11"
69 yrs old
SW: 195
1st goal: 185
2nd goal: 180
Ultimate goal: 170-175
Word for the year 2021: Consistency
My weight history:SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206 -- met my goal weight of 178 on December, 2019
SW Year 2020: 182.6 -- gained 15 pounds through the pandemic
SW Year 2021:195
Goals for 2021:These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2021:
1. Lose 25 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 170, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
6. To curb and stop nitetime snacking for good.
Weekly weigh-in. I plan on weighing every friday
SW Friday, Jan 1st: 195.6
SW: Feb 5: 191.8
SW: Mar 5: 193
SW: April 2: 190.4
SW: May 188
Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking.
Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.
May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past wee1 -

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@mytime6630 - glad you back is better.
@TerriRichardson112 - we’ve had an odd May too.
DH and I went and bought some flowers today, the grandchildren and I will be planting them this afternoon. I hope the kids are up for the work as I don’t know if I am. I twisted the wrong way on Thursday and have been in pain again.

I don’t know why I’m struggling so much to get my water in. I used to drink 2L a day without fail. I haven’t figured out why I’m not willing to do it now.
I have to share this.
After our day of planting Michaela says “Grammie I was scared to come today but it was good”.
I asked her why she was scared, she said “because I thought you were going to make us work all day”. 😂
Here are pictures of my reluctant little helper. She planted 5 or 6 pots herself, watered all of them and helped move them, all without me asking her even once.

Finally got to visit DED and GSs. Officially not supposed to do it before tomorrow, but couldn't wait. We're all vaxed and both daughter and YGD tested themselves yesterday (negative results). The weather was too wet to meet in the garden, but we were able to sit in their conservatory with the windows open. We will do it again soon.💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕

Sorry for being away again. Things got a bit too hard for me but I called the Dr and admitted that I couldn't do it without help.
So I've prescribed Escitalopram, the side affects aren't great I'm only on day 3 and I get nausea, dizziness, feeling hot and sweaty and restless legs. BUT I feel a bit better (whether that's placebo or not atm I dunno lol)
So I'm still here.
Not posting goals until I settle into these tablets so maybe a few more days.
But finger crossed these will be the ones that work! The doctor was surprised at the amount of different ones I tried lol
Have a nice day everyone x3 -
Hi all! I haven't posted for a while, but I just can't seem to get it together. I know what I need to do to lose the weight and get stronger; I'm just really struggling to pick up those positive habits again. I know that I need to make them a priority, but I'm distracted by everything else.
Summer classes started last Monday, and I feel like I'm already falling further behind on everything else. Too many half-done chores in the house and garden. Too many decisions to make about summer plans: Too little energy and focus
Well, I have another online meeting and a class to prepare for, so I need to get in gear. Posting a few simple goals, because I haven't given up yet. So...

I deep cleaned my house yesterday for the first time since January 2nd when I injured myself. DH has been keeping the basics under control, but I swear men don’t see what we do.
It is raining today and I’m off. I’m trying to think of something to do.
@bex953172 - I hope these meds work for you. From what I’ve seen others go through it’s tough finding the right pill and dosage.
@beachwalker99 - i hope things settle for you soon.1 -
Been a little overwhelmed by life lately. Nothing bad is happening, there are just so many changes right now. Getting things ready for my oldest to graduate high school and head off the college, and letting go of the reins a little with my youngest now that she is driving. I'm proud of them both, but my mommy emotions are highly illogical and way out of whack.2
