My kids and I went to visit with my boyfriend and his kids. No pictures. I never think about it until it's too late. Played a lot of games and ate/snacked a lot!2 -
Hello all.
New to this accountability thread.
I'm Donna, 40 years old, UK.
CW 212
I gained another stone in 2021 due to an accident in April that has left me still needing crutches 8 months later😭
Been finding it difficult to lose weight the last 3/4 years and my body is now suffering because of it.
I'm hoping 2022 will be the year I finally take control of my eating habits and get myself healthier and fitter.
Will take 1 day at a time.
I won't be weighing every day as I know that will cause me to self-sabotage. And besides, I think my scales are broken 🤣
So, I'm mainly gonna use this thread to keep myself accountable for the bad things I eat daily that takes me over my calorie budget.
Would love to have some1 (or even LOADS🤣) of people look over my food diary daily and pull me up on all the unhealthy things I'm eating. I KNOW what I SHOULD be eating but I'm easily tempted (normally by hubby and his takeaways)
Currently goals for January are:
1. Log every mouthful.
2. Drink 2 bottles of water.
3. Move more (started doing armchair exercises today)
Would be happy with any weight loss in January (since I can't exercise properly) but aim would be to weigh 205lbs and finally lose these crutches.7 -

Totally expected the jump on the scale ... sabotaged all my good intentions with snacks (Snickers, Cheetos, ice cream, peanut butter). Emotional rollercoaster of a day. Then my son & his wife got out of the hospital with our new granddaughter in the evening. He called wanted us there ... so drove an hour to other side of Houston to meet her but we had Popeyes fried chicken.
She is adorable! Today I'm back on my plan for a healthier life and WILL not snack on junk.

Hi. I am Dawn. 61yrs, 5'2"
I topped out at 207 pounds years ago, I started MFP over 3 years ago at 191.
I hit 130.6 in March or April of 2021 and then gained a bit each month after that for the rest of the year. Those illusive 120s, maybe this year.
My ideal weight for my body structure is 110 according to many methods.
1/1 - DNW - I am using my end weight from last month as my start weight. 136.0
1/2 - DNW
1/3 - 139.2 - This seems inflated. Hope to never see this number ever again, hadn't seen it this high since 2020.
1/4 - 136.4 - Burned more calories than I ate yesterday with a beautiful big dump of snow to shovel, plus skating. Clear and blue this morning, hoping to be able to grab a quick cross-country ski today after work before it gets dark.
1/5 - 136.0 - Broke even. Going skating to 2 different arenas today, one before work and one after. Cooking up my veggies for the next 2 days this morning.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from December 31st): 191.6
Goal: 186.6 (Five lb Loss)
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
01/01…...190.0…..(Trend Weight 191.5)….. Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been slipping, sliding and teetering back and forth since October (just prior to needing cancer scare breast surgery). I’m ready to stop eating all my emotions and grief and get back on track to the business of heath and well-being. Recommitting today!
01/02.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 191.4)….. I am happy to see my weight trending down. It feels like faith in me. I’ve been doing better on my meals but little to no movement for two reasons. First, I am still sick and too weak and unsteady. Second, I am having a “temporary floor put down in about 1000 throughout most of my main floor to rid myself of horrible carpet that was in the kitchen and dining room! I don’t know what the old owners were thinking but the kitchen carpet was actually RED so this new vinyl with suffice until the rooms are fully remodeled and my click flooring can be installed. Everything throught the 900 sq ft area is now piled up in my livingroom. I have no stove or fridge, they are in living room too. Food in cold garage. Exercise is out of the question at this point so it’s a good time to be sick. I’m wearing mask while workers are here to keep my germs to myself.
01/03.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 191.3}….. No clue why except for restricted movement during a floor remodel project that’s not going so well. Keeping the faith.
01/04.…..192.6…..(Trend Weight 191.4)….. Besides lack of movement while still trapped in my packed livingroom during floor reno in multiple rooms, I think it is the 2% milk bloating me up because my meals honestly have been pretty good. I’ll have to go back to drinking my Fairlife now that the holidays are over. It’s lactose free and not bad tasting once you get used to the unusual smell.
01/05.…..193.2…..(Trend Weight 191.6)….. Obviously I need to start logging my food again. Without snacks it seems like I’m not doing badly on the dietary side. I know my movement is little due to the renovation, but this is crazy. Keeping the faith!

So I know this is water weight but I'll take it! I've also started exercising yeay for me. I play FitXR on my virtual reality headset. It's a HIIT workout, boxing and dance workout game. I'm loving it and it has a calorie counter in it too for my height and weight. I've also got a hello fresh delivery on Sunday. 5 recipes for 2 people. It was 50% off too. Looking forward to cooking more too.8 -

Followed my plan completely, so today's plan is similar. Bible study; 45min walk (no run); abs; food diary. Dinner: turkey + veg + salad. Need to do a quick store run for more produce and a stop at the post office. That's my day...well, plus many many hours of work.
