    3/31 - 198.4 planning a treadmill walk and logging food choices
    4/1 - 198.0 rest day, dinner out with my husband and not sure where we're going yet but plan is a hunk o'meat + veg.
    4/2 - 197.8 no exercise
    4/3 - 197.4 3.5 mile run/walk with my son, we managed to beat the rain. Lunch out (salmon, broccoli, salad); dinner was a big mac salad (lettuce, spinach, ketchup, mustard, ranch, hamburger patty & swiss)
    4/4 - 199.9 ??????????? chili soup for dinner (hamburger, 3 rinsed cans of different beans, vegetable juice, 2 can of tomatoes+chiles, cauliflower rice, and add avocado when serving). It's raining and 45 today, so I'll be putting a few miles on the treadmill instead of outside.
    4/5 - ??
    4/6 - ? ran/walked 3 miles w/ son, then walked dogs another mile
    4/7 - ? walked 2 miles w/ dogs
    4/8 - 199.9 I'm sure I've been making entries but perhaps I don't manage to actually post? Sorry I've been MIA again. Cold, rainy/slushy mix here in Indiana today, makes my ankle hurt (probably arthritis). Taking a rest day, will make smart food choices. Today is my 31 year anniversary with my employer...yikes that makes me feel really old!

    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 March 31, 2022): 199.6
    Goal: 194.6 (Five lb Loss)

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    04/01…...199.8…..(Trend Weight 199.4)….. Not such a great way to start.

    04/02.…..198.6…..(Trend Weight 199.6)….. A very small dinner, no snacks. Very tired last night. Got in more sleep than usual. A good TMI this morning. A lot of good contributing factors to a loss on the scale.

    04/03.…..199.8…..(Trend Weight 199.6}….. Lunch out with a friend yesterday. ½ for lunch and ½ for dinner. Bouncy-bounce.

    04/04.…..198.2…..(Trend Weight 199.5)….. Really no change in behaviors here (though there should be more!) I’m not sure why I go up and down but here it is today. Lowest weight since Mar 14. I’ll take it, shake it and see what I can do with it.

    04/05.…..198.8…..(Trend Weight 199.4)….. My daughter brought donuts home last night which was a special treat from out of town. I just wish she had brought ONE. Today I am planning a big pot of soup for dinner and she is inviting her boyfriend to join us. I will keep portions under control and try to make up for yesterday a bit. Cooking is challenging right now. The stove is in the livingroom sitting on a cement board on the carpet. The kitchen is fully gutted down to studs so dishes are in my bedroom and anticipated food items we may need in the next month or two is upstairs on the landing. Pots & pans on the console style entertainment piece under the LR tv. The back & forth for every spoon or glass is giving me extra steps. It all adds up!

    04/06.…..199.6…..(Trend Weight 199.5)….. Donuts showed up on the scale today. Thank Goodness for all the extra steps and miles yesterday or it could have been worse. Staying diligent today.

    04/07.…..DNW…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)….. Travel.

    04/08.…..204.0…..(Trend Weight 200.2)….. OMG! Heavy food day during travel and no movement to speak of. Gotta get this back down or I’ll be spending April hiding under the blankets!

    04/09.…..202.0…..(Trend Weight 200.4)….. Probably a water weight loss after the travel meals. It was too big of a jump when I got home so I knew something was up. Now…..to get it back under 200 then get some real fat loss progress going!

    04/10.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..
    04/11.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..

    @melodyh1105
    Glad that you are joining us : - )

    @aliru108
    Yes, grab something quick in the morning, even 3-10 minutes of a quick workout will set up your day in a positive way. After 21 days it will become a habit.
    I swear that I am asleep for the first 5 minutes of a workout in the morning, so it is painless. Getting it in is great for our mental and emotional health later in the day. Small accomplishment, various rewards.

    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.
    4/03 - 137.0 - Very early weigh in, I feel leaner than that. Up and down is normal for me though. I will get lots of activity in today, my day off, and will have time for healthy food prep.
    4/04 - 136.4 - Not a very good day for nutrition. Calories and activity were good.
    4/05 - 137.6 - ?? Such as it goes. Lots of workouts, good food choices.
    4/06 - 137.2 - Lots of workouts, good food choices, but very long workday and didn't finish dinner until midnight. Tonight will be the same.
    4/07 - 137.0 - It has been a busy work week for me with a couple of late nights. Food choices could be a bit better, but not bad overall.
    4/08 - 137.6 - Quite shocked by the jump, I awoke feeling quite lean and expected quite a drop today. My only difference yesterday was increased water. Maybe tomorrow : - )
    4/09 - 135.4 - Thank you all for the hugs yesterday. You would think that with 3+ years on MFP that I would be used to these fluctuations. I am okay to see a jump if I have had some indulgences, but when I am "good" consistently and keep seeing a rise I still get upset and demoralized by it. Today's weight was what I expected to see yesterday. Today I am going to have some indulgences, I will keep it under control and get lots of workouts in to mitigate it.

    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.
    4/03 - 137.0 - Very early weigh in, I feel leaner than that. Up and down is normal for me though. I will get lots of activity in today, my day off, and will have time for healthy food prep.
    4/04 - 136.4 - Not a very good day for nutrition. Calories and activity were good.
    4/05 - 137.6 - ?? Such as it goes. Lots of workouts, good food choices.
    4/06 - 137.2 - Lots of workouts, good food choices, but very long workday and didn't finish dinner until midnight. Tonight will be the same.
    4/07 - 137.0 - It has been a busy work week for me with a couple of late nights. Food choices could be a bit better, but not bad overall.
    4/08 - 137.6 - Quite shocked by the jump, I awoke feeling quite lean and expected quite a drop today. My only difference yesterday was increased water. Maybe tomorrow : - )
    4/09 - 135.4 - Thank you all for the hugs yesterday. You would think that with 3+ years on MFP that I would be used to these fluctuations. I am okay to see a jump if I have had some indulgences, but when I am "good" consistently and keep seeing a rise I still get upset and demoralized by it. Today's weight was what I expected to see yesterday. Today I am going to have some indulgences, I will keep it under control and get lots of workouts in to mitigate it.
    4/10 - 136.4 - Up a pound, but expected it and am okay with it. I had nachos for dinner, so salt. Calories were within range. Having an indulgent meal is nice once in awhile.
    4/11 - 136.8 - On point yesterday, hopefully the last of the effects of nachos are showing up today and that tomorrow I will be lighter.

    How does one get their head around the restrictive food intake without feeling deprived? The average 50+ sedentary female daily calorie intake is suggested to be approximately 1600/day. MFP has me at 1200/day in order to lose 1lb/week. This morning I changed it to .5lbs/week loss to see if adding any 'extra' 200 calories to my day will help stay the feelings of deprivation.
