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

**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
05/01…...204.6…..(Trend Weight 202.5)….. April was not good to me. Or maybe, I was not good to April. Yeah, I think that’s it.
05/02.…..204.6…..(Trend Weight 202.7)….. I had my weight too low yesterday. Typo now fixed. I should have done better but I couldn’t get satiated yesterday. I think my bigger body is fighting for more food so I am going to have to plan more volume with less calories and carbs to get through this. According to Fitbit, I’ve had more sleep last night but I feel hungover. Is there such a thing as a food hangover?
05/03.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 202.8}….. I’m grateful for any progress but I know I can do better. I am not doing Keto at this time but I definitely should be watching the carbs a bit more. I need to better keep them in mind when making my choices. That would make a huge difference for my weight and my glucose levels. Now just doing it…….
05/04.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. I had a good day of eating yesterday so I expected a drop. I checked my fitbit stats this morning and boy, oh, boy! Was my movement level ever low! Barely over 3000 steps for the day due to lots on online bill paying and many phone calls. That explains it! Out of town tomorrow, a bit of a trip again for my friend's brain scan to determine possible parkinsons. Lots more sitting and meals out. Never good when it's out of town.
05/05.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. Weigh in was about 5 hours early as I prepare for travel this morning. 3 days in a row with the same weight. Hmmm. Too bad my trend weight wouldn’t stay the same. It just keeps going up, up, up.
05/06.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A shocking drop today when I thought it would be way up. I ate at a Golden Corral yesterday during the long travel which means a lot of food for me due to variety. The medical test took 7 hours so lots of sitting in the hospital waiting for friend. The drive was several hours each way. Needless to say, all sitting and little activity. But I was so exhausted last night that I actually slept about 7 hours (instead of my usual 4). And then this weight drop. It HAS to be related. Everything else lent itself to a gain. Wow! I wish I required more sleep EVERY day! Another observation: this drop came after 3 days of staying exactly the same, which, in itself is unusual. Paying attention here!
05/07.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 202.8)….. Yay, trend weight down from 203.0 and 2.4 lbs down on the scale. I felt pretty week yesterday. I think sugar was up from stress. Having trouble with my primary handyman (the slow one) so I’m going to have to replace him. Only 3200 steps yesterday but, of course, my appetite never suffers. I found myself eating a little more healthy when my daughter brought home a rotissary chicken and bread cut into teeny tiny little slices. A much small quantity than usual. Pay attention Donna! Remember, you can’t outrun the fork! Less food works!

Top weight: 207 pounds. MFP start weight 191 pounds, October 2018
UGW 110-118
I love the accountability of this forum : - )
Tracking every bite is the key to success.
May 01 - Going with my April end weight as I did for the last month. 135.0
Monday May 02 - 136.8 - Ouch. Feeling leaner than that. Back to jumping around all over the place. My WW scale gave up the ghost months ago, and this new one...not sure if it really works. Very active days off, time for healthy food prep and eating. I truly expected a loss.
May 03 - 135.6 - That is better.
May 04 - 135.8 - Busy week, trying to have food prep ready for each dinner.
May 05 - 137.0 - No reason for this at all. I burned more calories than I ate actually (due to long hours digging in the garden after work knowing that there would be rain to set the seeds today). I did drink more water yesterday, otherwise ate very well, worked out etc. I hate these jump ups.
May 06 - 136.4 - I have had maybe too active of a week? Perhaps my body thinks that it must hold on to fat to save me lol. We got lovely rain yesterday to set my seeds into my garden : - )
May 07 - 135.4 - All of that digging finally catching up on the scale? I'll take it.

Nikki
Height: 5'6" Age: 52
May goal: 192
UGW: 145
5/1 - 197.8 setting a rather ambitious goal for this month as I haven't managed an actual loss in many months. But weather is improving so I'll be outside and moving more, and I typically do lose well during the summer.
5/2 - 197.6 not a great weekend as far as food choices, but just a slight uptick from the end of April so I'm ok with it. Resuming my walk/run with my son this evening; fingers crossed my shin splints have healed!
5/3 - 197.6 exact same as yesterday but I really thought I'd be down this morning. At least it's not +! Didn't run yesterday but I did take the dogs on a 2-mile walk, was going to run today but it's been pouring all morning so may not make it outside. If no run, then I'll be on the treadmill. I did have a massage this morning and she worked on my lower legs and I had no pain, so I'm hopeful I'm healed up.
5/4 - 196.6 had a good walk/run with my son last night. Legs were tight but no pain, actually loosened up while we were out, then I soaked in the tub to relax the muscles. Off to pre-log my food choices for today, feel free to check up on me!
5/5 - 197.0 not sure why + this morning but I didn't walk or anything yesterday. Planning to run/walk again today. Need to figure out dinner as leftovers are scarce now.
5/6 - 197.6 I think I've had too much rice this week but I also haven't walked the last couple days (rain and workload).
5/7 - 195.6 what? I'll take it but it'll probably be + tomorrow. But I'll be happy today for sure! Must get in a workout today, it's been too many days.

Hello! Michelle from ON, Canada
Height: 5'2" Age: 54
May Starting weight: 173.4
May Goal weight: 169.9
UGW: 135/"normal" BMI
Goals for May; to continue with my 10,000 daily steps and dranking that water. I also will be adding more heart pumping activities 3x/week and strength training 2x/week. I need to move it, move it! I need to move it, move it! I need to? MOVE IT!!
01/05 - 173.4 Daily step count: 6,959 Water: Nope Okay, so not a great start. Weekends appear not to be my forte.

05/05 - 172.0 Daily step count: 11,704 Water: Check!
06/05 - 171.8 Daily step count: 10,713 Water: Check!
Yesterday, I did some yard work. With my morning walk and two hours of yard work, I hit my 10,000 step. Hubby called me in around noon because he had prepared a delicious lunch for me and proudly told me he remembered to measure everything
I plugged in my fitbit as it was running low. After lunch and another two hours of yard work, I realised that I did not put my fitbit back on. Fraaaack! Oh well. Then a while later, my middle child wanted to go for a walk around the neighbourhood. Five minutes into the walk, I realised that I still did not have my fitbit on. Fraaack! So easy, another 5,000 steps not accounted for. Today, more yard work and then some painting after I do this entry and finish me cup o' tea. Tomorrow, will be my day of whatev'a I wan'. My movie pick? My hogging of the PS4? Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill all to myself? The possibilities are endless

@tinacuso - Lots and lots of rest! GET WELL SOON!!! I hope that you pull through quickly.
My husband, myself, my son, his wife, our granddaughter, and my sister all tested positive for Covid this past week as well. The 4 month old bounced back quickly. I was asymptomatic except for a headache one day ... and some fatigue. Everyone else had what sounds like you describe and felt better after 3-4 days. With the exception of my sister who is immune comprised ... she says her muscles under her ribs hurt from all the coughing when laying down at night.

05/01 - DNW - out of town, no scale. Tomorrow will be my start weight for May.
05/02 - 135.6 (136.9 trend) first weekend in a long time that I did not gain weight!
05/03 - DNW - day off from work and woke up late. Like to weigh at same time every day.
05/04 - 135.2 (136.5 trend)
05/05 - 135.0 (136.3 trend) palate apparatus is wreaking havoc. I have a nice sore on my tongue that won't go away so it is slowing my eating down a bit. Hoping it heals soon. A little upset at the orthodontist office for not being completely truthful. They claimed this would just be "uncomfortable" until I became accustomed to it in a few days. Nothing about sores and pain. Oh well, this too shall pass
05/06 - 135.8 (136.2 trend) Pizza last night. I always gain a bit after pizza and it just doesn't seem fair this time. I could not eat the crust, so all I had was the toppings off two pieces. Really thought it would make a difference. I was wrong. Lesson learned. Of course the free biscuits and gravy at work for breakfast probably played into that gain as well
Couldn't pass up soft food that was free!
05/07 - DNW
05/08 - DNW - Hope all you Mother's had a wonderful day.
05/09 - 137.0 (136.5 trend) Unfortunately found a lot of food I could comfortably eat. Need to start being mindful again and should really start logging my food. Surgery will probably slow me down again, but I have a few weeks till that occurs.

5/1 - 197.8 setting a rather ambitious goal for this month as I haven't managed an actual loss in many months. But weather is improving so I'll be outside and moving more, and I typically do lose well during the summer.
5/2 - 197.6 not a great weekend as far as food choices, but just a slight uptick from the end of April so I'm ok with it. Resuming my walk/run with my son this evening; fingers crossed my shin splints have healed!
5/3 - 197.6 exact same as yesterday but I really thought I'd be down this morning. At least it's not +! Didn't run yesterday but I did take the dogs on a 2-mile walk, was going to run today but it's been pouring all morning so may not make it outside. If no run, then I'll be on the treadmill. I did have a massage this morning and she worked on my lower legs and I had no pain, so I'm hopeful I'm healed up.
5/4 - 196.6 had a good walk/run with my son last night. Legs were tight but no pain, actually loosened up while we were out, then I soaked in the tub to relax the muscles. Off to pre-log my food choices for today, feel free to check up on me!
5/5 - 197.0 not sure why + this morning but I didn't walk or anything yesterday. Planning to run/walk again today. Need to figure out dinner as leftovers are scarce now.
5/6 - 197.6 I think I've had too much rice this week but I also haven't walked the last couple days (rain and workload).
5/7 - 195.6 what? I'll take it but it'll probably be + tomorrow. But I'll be happy today for sure! Must get in a workout today, it's been too many days.
5/8 - 195.2 good run/walk yesterday, plus a 2mile walk with the dogs.
5/9 - 196.4 not enough water yesterday. didn't make it to the grocery so meals this week will be rather boring - hunk o'meat + veg...we'll survive. Planning a run/walk today and get the dogs out too.

I am Dawn, 61, 5'2"
I am in Southeastern BC, Canada
Top weight: 207 pounds. MFP start weight 191 pounds, October 2018
UGW 110-118
I love the accountability of this forum : - )
Tracking every bite is the key to success.
May 01 - Going with my April end weight as I did for the last month. 135.0
Monday May 02 - 136.8 - Ouch. Feeling leaner than that. Back to jumping around all over the place. My WW scale gave up the ghost months ago, and this new one...not sure if it really works. Very active days off, time for healthy food prep and eating. I truly expected a loss.
May 03 - 135.6 - That is better.
May 04 - 135.8 - Busy week, trying to have food prep ready for each dinner.
May 05 - 137.0 - No reason for this at all. I burned more calories than I ate actually (due to long hours digging in the garden after work knowing that there would be rain to set the seeds today). I did drink more water yesterday, otherwise ate very well, worked out etc. I hate these jump ups.
May 06 - 136.4 - I have had maybe too active of a week? Perhaps my body thinks that it must hold on to fat to save me lol. We got lovely rain yesterday to set my seeds into my garden : - )
May 07 - 135.4 - All of that digging finally catching up on the scale? I'll take it.
May 08 - 136.2 - Working late tonight, so it will be a late dinner.
May 09 - 136.6 - I worked much later than even expected last night, so ate very late and was up too early. Not surprised that my weight is up today, and it might take a few days to level myself back out and settle into a rare 6 day work week.

May 01 - 184.1
May 02 - 184.0 Easy day yesterday, did some house organizing, menu planning, & grocery shopping and got a nice run in as well. Starting a new WOE today by giving up intermittent fasting (I normally eat between 11 am -7 pm only) for the month and instead eating 6 smaller meals/snacks spread all through the day.
May 03 - 184.0 No change from yesterday, so hoping for a big drop tomorrow. Today is a running day and the weather looks great for it!
May 04 - 184.0 The scale will eventually catch up to and reflect what I'm doing. Calories, Exercise, Sleep, Water, all where they need to be to post a loss. I will be patient
May 05 - 184.0 Nice HIIT workout yesterday + got in a short walk, calories within range, good sleep & water intake
May 06 - 183.7 Yesterday was a running day + got in a full body strength workout. On target with calories, water, & sleep goals.
May 07 - DNW (slept in past normal weigh-in time) Yesterday was a full rest day + going to start having Friday night dinner be a "hall pass', had a few more calories & enjoyed some pizza
May 08 - DNW (slept in past normal weigh-in time) Yesterday was a super active day, went for a run, + barre booty workout + couple hours spent on cleaning & organizing. On track with calories, water, & sleep goals.
May 09 - 183.6 The scale is soooo slow, BUT the mirror is showing a noticeably positive change! Yesterday was an active recovery day, went on a walk + yoga. Calories, water, & sleep goals met. Busy, busy week ahead, something every day but will make sure my workouts remain a priority.

I am having oral surgery done on the 25th to expand my upper palate. Right now the metal expander has caused a few eating issues but I am starting to work through that. I have a feeling that there will be issues again after the surgery. After making sure three kids had their teeth corrected, it is my turn. Unfortunately because I was unable to have it done when young, it is requiring surgeries.4
