😀😀***APRIL 2022 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

Overall Starting Weight: 196 31/12/20
April Start Weight: ?
April Goal Weight: 187
Ultimate Goal Weight: 155 (on the cusp of normal bmi but any thinner I don’t think I’d look good)

Hi, I joined these challenges last year and got down to 163 in June 21. Sadly I worked myself to a little breakdown, overate, drank too much and gained most of the weight back. ☹️😢

I quit my well paid but 65hr per week job and got lower paid job with less stress and lovely people. So after a little mental health break I’d like to feel as good about my body as I did in May/June.

I am 5’6
April 19th 191.2lbs. 30.9bmi - obese 😢
27.4.22 189 -2.2

April Start Weight: 71kg
April Goal Weight: 70kg
Ultimate Goal Weight: 68kg

Apr 1: away from home
Apr 8: 72kg - expected gain after a week away visiting the in-laws 🤪
Apr 15: 71.6kg
Apr 22: oops! Forgot to log!
Apr 28: 71.6kg

Hmm 🙄. It’s not been the best month, a combination of visiting family, Easter excesses and, if I’m being honest, general off plan snacking 🙃.
Roll on May - holiday in the sun at the end of May so hopefully that will give me the motivation to stay on track.

April Start Weight: 60.2kg

April 1: 60.2 kg
April 9: 60.5 kg

April 23: 61.2 kg
April 29: 60.2 kg

Not the best month for my weight… the peak came after walking 84km over the long weekend, and then feeling really hungry after.

It was a wonderful walk though and I certainly wouldn’t avoid doing it again just because it wasn’t ‘good’ for my weight.

Next month hopefully I will lose again.

Apr 01…..[/color= fuchsia…..199.8 (Trend Weight: 199.4)…..


Apr 05…..…..198.8 (Trend Weight: 199.4)….. One pound down from last week which is my typical goal so I am glad for that. Yesterday was not that great of a dietary day but I am getting more steps in due to a kitchen reno. Food upstairs, dishes and silverware in my main floor master. Pots and pans on the console entertainment cent in LR. Microwave at the far end of LR. Coffee at the front door landing. Lots of back & forth for sure. Today’s meal will be carefully planned. Having guests for dinner so I am on top of meal planning today. Thankfully they are willing to put up with the kitchen inconveniences.

Apr 12…..…..200.8 (Trend Weight: 200.5)….. I’ve been in a bad slump this month although it hasn’t gone well since earlier October before my surgery. This week is 3 days of traveling which never helps. I’ve got to make the days at home really count!

Apr 19…..…..199.2 (Trend Weight: 201.5)….. We went out for Easter Dinner and to see the Easter Bunny and find eggs with DGS #4 because of a lack of kitchen during my reno. I felt like I ate a normal amount and did not even finish. Yesterday (Monday) I was so swollen in my calves and ankles and stomach that I was miserable. My weight (which had been creeping up anyway) ballooned up to 204.8. I pushed water and only got in my 250 steps 3 times out of 13 on my fitbit. Barely over 3000 steps for the day. On the couch all day with headache and miserable uncomfortable swelling. My doctor recently gave me a water pill to help aid my heart until I see the cardiologist June 1st. It is prescribed to take 2-3 times a week which is why I sometimes feel my weight will go up & down. I took the pill yesterday and those steps are from going back & forth potty. I also took a magnesium pill to help with TMI because it had been a few days. Both worked. Imagine my shock to see over 5 ½ pounds down overnight when I was so immobile! Glad to see it under 200! I feel much better today but I’m starving and my body wants to make up for the lesser amounts of food yesterday. I’ll choose wisely.


Apr 26…..…..202.2 (Trend Weight: 201.6)….. I didn’t think it was too bad of a week until I posted for this weekly challenge. I’m not happy with the huge uptick but I am grateful to be able to see this and reflect back over the week. I’m in a lot of daily weigh in challenges which I also appreciate for other reasons, but thank you for this weekly one. If I am getting off track it really slaps me in the face!

Apr 30…..…..203.2(Trend Weight: 202.3)….. Gained 3.6 lbs this round. Not good! See you in the next one.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
