April accountability month for challenge & support

Hello again, everyone!!

My name is Ana. Some months after my late husband passed away in 2011 I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept it off for years. Unfortunately, the pandemic has messed me up in varied and profound ways that led to a Dr's visit on 06.16.21  where I learned that I was back up to 156.4 lb. I am back to the MFP community to make myself accountable for my own health.
My plan for this month is: calorie deficit but putting nutrition first. I'll try my best to plan yummy foods, be mindful of portions when indulging. I will exercise at least 5x a week and will try my best not to snack and to walk. Good luck to me and to all of you! 💖

Highest Weight 2011: 180 Lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 Lbs
April Start Weight: 134.4
Ultimate goal: Be fit and at a healthy weight.

04/02: 134.2 (-0.2) Back to February's weight so it's like March was maintenance month. Not the change I wanted, but I also know that it takes time for last week's efforts to be reflected in loss, especially after almost a month of suboptimal circumstances. I am committed, however, to continue my journey and to own my slacking weeks as well as my big effort weeks.
I am actually happy with what I've achieved and with the way I look. Even though I'd like the bit of flabby belly to go away right now, my main goal is to get rid of internal fat for health reasons rather than esthetics.
I don't know if the reason why I'm slacking my efforts is the loss of my dad or the "I feel good with myself" situation, maybe both. But whatever the reason, I want to be healthier and I'll keep my promise to myself of working on being healthier for exactly 1 year, which is coming up in a few months. So... gotta work it!

Good luck to everyone!

Switched it out for a viewing of the most recent episode of Rupaul's Drag Race We have a realtor coming over tomorrow afternoon to give the house a once over, so today and tomorrow morning will be spent cleaning, purging, organising, etc. I did get out for a morning walk to our local Shoppers. Beautiful sunny day. It felt much warmer than the 4c the weather network stated.

Hope everyone has a fabulous Saturday!

I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
I joined MFP October 28.18 at 191
I averaged a 1 pound loss per month, so very slow.

My ideal healthy weight by plugging in my numbers (height, age, measurements etc.) is 110-118

I was close to the 120s in February of 2021 at 130.6.
I was 131.1 in September of 2021. I somehow gained quite a bit since then, but in March of 2022 I did a cleanse to reset my body and eating habits and ended up with a small loss at the end of the month, the first loss in a long time.

3/31 - 135.2
4/01 - 137.4 - 2.2 pounds overnight?? I had a healthy and active day yesterday, so hoping that it is just a weird fluctuation. I am still going to use my EW from March as my start weight for this month though. No point (in my mind) of counting a loss if it is not cumulative.
4/02 - 136.2 - Terrible day eating wise, I was so busy, then stressed, so basically didn't eat all day and then ate a bit but nothing nutritious. I will try to do better today.
