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 10 - 136.0
May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.
May 19 - 139.0
May 20 - 139.6 - Not sure what is going on with me. Of course not happy about the extra pounds on the scale.
Leaving on a mini holiday right after work today. I will be taking my scale with me but am not sure if I will find time for the forums for a few days. I am packing food to take. Eating out is something that I will avoid except for coffee in cafes. 90% rain in the forecast so I don't know if I will get any hiking in, but will definitely be going to the parade, the street fair, the farmer's market, the midway etc. I will get workouts in on my phone or laptop in my motel and a bit of walking around the Blossom Festival and Rodeo grounds.
May 21 - The scale that I took with me either doesn't work right or did not like the floor in the motel. 48 pounds lol
May 22 - I ordered a new scale online which will arrive late this week. The scale said 176.8 which I know is not true
May 23 - 138.8. Back home with the scale back to where it used to be. Very healthy eating for my time away (I had a microwave, refrigerator and a coffee maker in the motel) and lots of activity. I will believe this scale until I get my new one, a WW which is what I had before the current one, it will be a portable one.
May 24 - 136.2 - I am okay with that. 8 days until the end of the month, the push is on to at least weigh the same as the start of the month. Slightly less would be better, but I never lose that quickly.
May 25 - 136.4 - I don't seem to weigh at the same time each day. It was earlier today, so I don't think that I really gained any weight yesterday. Staying on track.

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.
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.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.
5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.
5/20 - 194.8 good walk with the dogs yesterday and scale rewarded me with again showing my low. I'm walking a 5k tomorrow with my sister to raise funds for a veterans association. It's held at a winery so I'm looking forward to the scenery, and let's face it, I'm looking forward to the wine slushy!
5/21 - 196.4 my own fault, no walk yesterday+a little bread+a lotta margarita. Will push fluid after my 5k walk with my sister today.
5/23 - 196.8 'nuff said
5/24 - 196.4
5/25 - 195.4 took the dogs out yesterday with my neighbor, we decided it was an arm/strength workout just as much as a cardio/leg workout. Snarling neighbor dogx2, mice in the side ditch which prompted sudden jerks to the side. Naughty dog who wouldn't stay with us so had to run the leash thru one collar to then attach to hers. Geesh. We laughed the entire time though, so it was good. Rainy today so probably won't get the dogs out, but I'm aiming for the treadmill anyway.

05/22.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. There was some unexpected travel yesterday. About 4 hours of sitting and driving with very little movement. Fitbit shows very low calorie burn and hardly any steps (4000+). More travel today which will take much longer and be much further. Lunch or dinner will be out. Choosing wisely and watching portions is the game plan. But I know the calorie burn will be much lower than normal.
05/23.…..204.8…..(Trend Weight 203.1)….. This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but I won’t make excuses. Some travel yesterday but I was there and back in about 4 hours so no meal out was necessary.
05/24.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. My son and I were out of town for dental cleanings yesterday. A problem area in the gums is now turning into a root canal. I go back in June. Dinner was out so I am surprised to see a drop on the scale. We’ll see what the next few days hold. Today is a 3 hour appointment for my hair. Something new for me. Low-lights (instead of hi-lights). We are working around the previous cancer treatments and current cancer pill damages. We are also incorporating some gray throughout to match my roots. Getting old is hell LOL. Because of the long time in the car and the dentist chair, I danced to 5 songs last night and I am proud of myself for that. I didn’t do them all at once due to the difficulty breathing with the heart issue, but I scattered them about half hour apart. I also took a small walk (5 minutes) when I got home on my cul-de-sac. It’s the part of my street with the least amount of incline due to breathing. It felt so good. I’m going to try to fit it in several times per day this summer.
05/25.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Meals were good and spaced out nicely thanks to the long hair appointment. Snacks last night not so good. Ate all my emotions. The handyman who was working on my kitchen called me last night and quit because he got a really good job call he’d applied for months ago. I can’t say I blame him. I get it. In this rural area jobs are tough to find, especially for men. But Now what? Mini-Donuts do not fix the problem folks and I need to remember that! I justified it by drinking them with water instead of milk. Who am I fooling? Just keeping it honest here and I hope someone will get something, maybe some strength or resolve today when they want to grab a no-no. At this point it’s all I can add. The truth of overweight and spiraling out of control at times. I promise, I will inspire again as I gain my own strength and resolve back!

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.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.
5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.
5/20 - 194.8 good walk with the dogs yesterday and scale rewarded me with again showing my low. I'm walking a 5k tomorrow with my sister to raise funds for a veterans association. It's held at a winery so I'm looking forward to the scenery, and let's face it, I'm looking forward to the wine slushy!
5/21 - 196.4 my own fault, no walk yesterday+a little bread+a lotta margarita. Will push fluid after my 5k walk with my sister today.
5/23 - 196.8 'nuff said
5/24 - 196.4
5/25 - 195.4 took the dogs out yesterday with my neighbor, we decided it was an arm/strength workout just as much as a cardio/leg workout. Snarling neighbor dogx2, mice in the side ditch which prompted sudden jerks to the side. Naughty dog who wouldn't stay with us so had to run the leash thru one collar to then attach to hers. Geesh. We laughed the entire time though, so it was good. Rainy today so probably won't get the dogs out, but I'm aiming for the treadmill anyway.

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 10 - 136.0
May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.
May 19 - 139.0
May 20 - 139.6 - Not sure what is going on with me. Of course not happy about the extra pounds on the scale.
Leaving on a mini holiday right after work today. I will be taking my scale with me but am not sure if I will find time for the forums for a few days. I am packing food to take. Eating out is something that I will avoid except for coffee in cafes. 90% rain in the forecast so I don't know if I will get any hiking in, but will definitely be going to the parade, the street fair, the farmer's market, the midway etc. I will get workouts in on my phone or laptop in my motel and a bit of walking around the Blossom Festival and Rodeo grounds.
May 21 - The scale that I took with me either doesn't work right or did not like the floor in the motel. 48 pounds lol
May 22 - I ordered a new scale online which will arrive late this week. The scale said 176.8 which I know is not true
May 23 - 138.8. Back home with the scale back to where it used to be. Very healthy eating for my time away (I had a microwave, refrigerator and a coffee maker in the motel) and lots of activity. I will believe this scale until I get my new one, a WW which is what I had before the current one, it will be a portable one.
May 24 - 136.2 - I am okay with that. 8 days until the end of the month, the push is on to at least weigh the same as the start of the month. Slightly less would be better, but I never lose that quickly.
May 25 - 136.4 - I don't seem to weigh at the same time each day. It was earlier today, so I don't think that I really gained any weight yesterday. Staying on track.
May 26 - 136.0 - Burning lots of calories after work each day getting the rest of my garden tilled and planted. Hoping to finish it all up by Sunday. Holding off on cutting the grass, priorities will be to get stuff planted.

05/22.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. There was some unexpected travel yesterday. About 4 hours of sitting and driving with very little movement. Fitbit shows very low calorie burn and hardly any steps (4000+). More travel today which will take much longer and be much further. Lunch or dinner will be out. Choosing wisely and watching portions is the game plan. But I know the calorie burn will be much lower than normal.
05/23.…..204.8…..(Trend Weight 203.1)….. This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but I won’t make excuses. Some travel yesterday but I was there and back in about 4 hours so no meal out was necessary.
05/24.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. My son and I were out of town for dental cleanings yesterday. A problem area in the gums is now turning into a root canal. I go back in June. Dinner was out so I am surprised to see a drop on the scale. We’ll see what the next few days hold. Today is a 3 hour appointment for my hair. Something new for me. Low-lights (instead of hi-lights). We are working around the previous cancer treatments and current cancer pill damages. We are also incorporating some gray throughout to match my roots. Getting old is hell LOL. Because of the long time in the car and the dentist chair, I danced to 5 songs last night and I am proud of myself for that. I didn’t do them all at once due to the difficulty breathing with the heart issue, but I scattered them about half hour apart. I also took a small walk (5 minutes) when I got home on my cul-de-sac. It’s the part of my street with the least amount of incline due to breathing. It felt so good. I’m going to try to fit it in several times per day this summer.
05/25.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Meals were good and spaced out nicely thanks to the long hair appointment. Snacks last night not so good. Ate all my emotions. The handyman who was working on my kitchen called me last night and quit because he got a really good job call he’d applied for months ago. I can’t say I blame him. I get it. In this rural area jobs are tough to find, especially for men. But Now what? Mini-Donuts do not fix the problem folks and I need to remember that! I justified it by drinking them with water instead of milk. Who am I fooling? Just keeping it honest here and I hope someone will get something, maybe some strength or resolve today when they want to grab a no-no. At this point it’s all I can add. The truth of overweight and spiraling out of control at times. I promise, I will inspire again as I gain my own strength and resolve back!
05/26.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…… Down a smidge. Better than a gain I suppose after those donuts yesterday. I slept 2 hours last night. Just so worried about when I will find someone to finish this kitchen! I see a lot of coffee in the forecast today.

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
April results: -0.6
April end weight: 136.0
UGW: 130
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.
05/10 - 136.2 (136.4 trend)
05/11 - 135.4 (136.3 trend) YAY! Back to a loss for the month. Hoping to keep this up and reach my goal
05/12 - 135.0 (136.1 trend) starting to log again today
05/13 - 133.2 (135.7 trend) Not sure I'm believing this. Will wait until tomorrows weigh in to see.
05/14 - 133.6 (135.4 trend) I'll take it
05/15 - 134.2 (135.3 trend)
05/16 - 135.2 (135.3 trend) too much sodium over the past couple of days. Need to be more careful
05/17 - DNW - had a craving for a Big Mac and fries and gave in. Was afraid to step on scales
05/18 - 134.0 (135.0 trend) very surprised
05/19 - 133.2 (134.7 trend) I thought for sure that the scale would go up after the heaping bowl of mashed potatoes I had for lunch yesterday. Very happy they didn't
05/20 - 133.4 (134.5 trend) thought for sure I posted this already this morning, but I guess not.
05/21 - DNW
05/22 - DNW
05/23 - 134.4 (134.5 trend)
05/24 - 133.6 (134.4 trend) should be able to drop a little more by the end of the month. If so, it will be the first month in a while that I met goal. Surgery tomorrow is at 5:30 am, so I will not be weighing in until Thursday
05/25 - Surgery
05/26 - 134.0 (134.3 trend) surgery #1 done. I think the weight gain is from the swelling. The whole lower half of my face is stretched to capacity. Meals are consisting of protein drinks, pudding, applesauce and mashed potatoes.

Thank you all for the well wishes. I love this group and the support you all give.
Surgery went well and I am now on the road to recovery. Food will be soft and mushy for some time and exercise is limited for a bit. Can't lift over 10 pounds right now and if I get too active or bend over I get nose bleeds. So just trying to move around when I can, sleep and relax.5 -

05/22.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 202.9)….. There was some unexpected travel yesterday. About 4 hours of sitting and driving with very little movement. Fitbit shows very low calorie burn and hardly any steps (4000+). More travel today which will take much longer and be much further. Lunch or dinner will be out. Choosing wisely and watching portions is the game plan. But I know the calorie burn will be much lower than normal.
05/23.…..204.8…..(Trend Weight 203.1)….. This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but I won’t make excuses. Some travel yesterday but I was there and back in about 4 hours so no meal out was necessary.
05/24.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. My son and I were out of town for dental cleanings yesterday. A problem area in the gums is now turning into a root canal. I go back in June. Dinner was out so I am surprised to see a drop on the scale. We’ll see what the next few days hold. Today is a 3 hour appointment for my hair. Something new for me. Low-lights (instead of hi-lights). We are working around the previous cancer treatments and current cancer pill damages. We are also incorporating some gray throughout to match my roots. Getting old is hell LOL. Because of the long time in the car and the dentist chair, I danced to 5 songs last night and I am proud of myself for that. I didn’t do them all at once due to the difficulty breathing with the heart issue, but I scattered them about half hour apart. I also took a small walk (5 minutes) when I got home on my cul-de-sac. It’s the part of my street with the least amount of incline due to breathing. It felt so good. I’m going to try to fit it in several times per day this summer.
05/25.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Meals were good and spaced out nicely thanks to the long hair appointment. Snacks last night not so good. Ate all my emotions. The handyman who was working on my kitchen called me last night and quit because he got a really good job call he’d applied for months ago. I can’t say I blame him. I get it. In this rural area jobs are tough to find, especially for men. But Now what? Mini-Donuts do not fix the problem folks and I need to remember that! I justified it by drinking them with water instead of milk. Who am I fooling? Just keeping it honest here and I hope someone will get something, maybe some strength or resolve today when they want to grab a no-no. At this point it’s all I can add. The truth of overweight and spiraling out of control at times. I promise, I will inspire again as I gain my own strength and resolve back!
05/26.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…… Down a smidge. Better than a gain I
suppose after those donuts yesterday. I slept 2 hours last night. Just so worried about when I will find someone to finish this kitchen! I see a lot of coffee in the forecast today.
05/27.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 203.2)…… Some travel yesterday unexpectedly. 2 meals but one of them were out so I’m sure the calorie count was high. I didn’t finish it but there was low level calorie burn for the day and much lower steps than usual. I did dance to two songs last night. Tonight is graduation for my twin nephews locally. I’m so proud of them!

Surgery went well and I am now on the road to recovery. Food will be soft and mushy for some time and exercise is limited for a bit. Can't lift over 10 pounds right now and if I get too active or bend over I get nose bleeds. So just trying to move around when I can, sleep and relax.
So glad you checked in, I was wondering how you were doing but didn't want to bother you. Rest and heal, that's all your body needs. Don't worry about exercise or the scale.4 -
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.
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.
5/10 - 194.8 so glad I have my head on straight and am focused on food choices and exercise. Run/walk went well and the dogs definitely enjoyed their outing. Calfs are tight this morning but will focus on stretching today and will still get the dogs out. Supposed to hit 80 today in northern Indiana and I'm rather excited about it!
5/11 - 195.6 3 miles with the dogs, up and down hills, but it was HOT 86. Jumping up 20-30 degrees overnight is rough. Ended up with a blister after getting dogs out of a mud bath so not planning to run today but will walk with them again.
5/12 - 197.0 ?????? here I was thinking that perhaps the craziness of the scale had settled, but no, definitely not. Will run/walk again today because blister is much better, calfs still tight though so will keep stretching. Dinner is a beef roast and cauliflower.
5/13 - 198.2 just occurred to me I had a 'wrap' Wednesday so I'm likely seeing water as a result of gluten. Had a good run/walk yesterday, definitely feeling it in my left leg today. Will get the dogs out for a walk anyway.
5/16 - 199.0 I need a better plan for weekends. I've decided to not run for the next 6-8 weeks to give my legs a chance to fully heal. So walk it is for a while - the dogs will enjoy it!
5/17 - 197.8 managed a very short walk with the dogs, about a half mile. This morning we've already done 1.5 miles and will do 2 miles at lunch. Legs are feeling better but am going to keep walking for several weeks. If I start talking about starting to run, yell at me please! Not until July 1 - I'm determined to heal these stinkin' shin splints!
5/18 - 196.4 I am considering that my running days may be over and I need to be content with walking/recumbent bike/elliptical options (no swimming - I think I'd drown myself lol). I'm going to try to wrap my head around that idea and see how it sits while I wait for my shin splints to heal. I need to find a new 'favorite' stress reliever to replace running.
5/19 - 195.8 glad the fluid is dripping off, just took a full week. Didn't manage a walk yesterday, let work overtake my plan but will make it happen today.
5/20 - 194.8 good walk with the dogs yesterday and scale rewarded me with again showing my low. I'm walking a 5k tomorrow with my sister to raise funds for a veterans association. It's held at a winery so I'm looking forward to the scenery, and let's face it, I'm looking forward to the wine slushy!
5/21 - 196.4 my own fault, no walk yesterday+a little bread+a lotta margarita. Will push fluid after my 5k walk with my sister today.
5/23 - 196.8 'nuff said
5/24 - 196.4
5/25 - 195.4 took the dogs out yesterday with my neighbor, we decided it was an arm/strength workout just as much as a cardio/leg workout. Snarling neighbor dogx2, mice in the side ditch which prompted sudden jerks to the side. Naughty dog who wouldn't stay with us so had to run the leash thru one collar to then attach to hers. Geesh. We laughed the entire time though, so it was good. Rainy today so probably won't get the dogs out, but I'm aiming for the treadmill anyway.
5/26 - 194.6
5/27 - 194.4 no exercise for a few days but sticking with my food plan. It doesn't look like I'm going to hit my May goal, 2 more pounds to go. But I'm closer than I was on May 1!

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 10 - 136.0
May 11 - 135.2 - That is better, getting closer to my start weight. I was feeling lean yesterday, glad that the scale agrees.
May 12 - 137.2 - Dang!!! 2 pounds in one day? argh
May 13 - 137.2 - Struggling with my motivation today because of this number. I will have to give myself a good talking to.
May 14 - 138.8 - double ouch. So happy to have a day off, I had only one last week and then worked 6 in a row with both jobs including getting up very early and working very late. I was truly exhausted, and the late dinners seem to affect my weight. No choice on the dinner front when I work so late. Going to try to refuse any of those next week. Lol, today will be catching up on laundry and all of the stuff that I couldn't get to. Hoping to get out for a nice hike if the weather holds, and a bunch of little workouts here and there.
May 15 - 137.4 - Planning a very active day off today: workouts, a hike, cutting the grass.
May 16 - 137.6 - I am going out to a comedy show tonight, so will try to keep my dinner when I get home small.
May 17 - 136.6 - Hmmm. I thought that it would be the other way around after being up late and then getting up early. Good laughs maybe released some fat?
Wednesday May 18 - 137.6 - Big calorie burn day, after work I went hard in the garden until almost dark, then had a late dinner. Today might be the same.
May 19 - 139.0
May 20 - 139.6 - Not sure what is going on with me. Of course not happy about the extra pounds on the scale.
Leaving on a mini holiday right after work today. I will be taking my scale with me but am not sure if I will find time for the forums for a few days. I am packing food to take. Eating out is something that I will avoid except for coffee in cafes. 90% rain in the forecast so I don't know if I will get any hiking in, but will definitely be going to the parade, the street fair, the farmer's market, the midway etc. I will get workouts in on my phone or laptop in my motel and a bit of walking around the Blossom Festival and Rodeo grounds.
May 21 - The scale that I took with me either doesn't work right or did not like the floor in the motel. 48 pounds lol
May 22 - I ordered a new scale online which will arrive late this week. The scale said 176.8 which I know is not true
May 23 - 138.8. Back home with the scale back to where it used to be. Very healthy eating for my time away (I had a microwave, refrigerator and a coffee maker in the motel) and lots of activity. I will believe this scale until I get my new one, a WW which is what I had before the current one, it will be a portable one.
May 24 - 136.2 - I am okay with that. 8 days until the end of the month, the push is on to at least weigh the same as the start of the month. Slightly less would be better, but I never lose that quickly.
May 25 - 136.4 - I don't seem to weigh at the same time each day. It was earlier today, so I don't think that I really gained any weight yesterday. Staying on track.
May 26 - 136.0 - Burning lots of calories after work each day getting the rest of my garden tilled and planted. Hoping to finish it all up by Sunday. Holding off on cutting the grass, priorities will be to get stuff planted.
May 27 - 136.9 - This is the new scale. 0.8 higher side to side than the scale that was going wonky when I traveled, but I will trust this new one. So I am slightly heavier, but that is okay. I feel like I can trust this new scale.

Yes, this was upper jaw surgery. In a year to 18 months I will have the lower jaw operated on. The pain is pretty much what I expected, the swelling isn't. The bags under my eyes have swollen. It's rather comical. I am staying on top of the meds and ice packs and getting as much rest as I can. Hoping to go back to work Tuesday, but not certain yet. May wait till after my post op visit with my doctor on Wednesday. Thank you for the hugs.3 -
My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
April results: -0.6
April end weight: 136.0
UGW: 130
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.
05/10 - 136.2 (136.4 trend)
05/11 - 135.4 (136.3 trend) YAY! Back to a loss for the month. Hoping to keep this up and reach my goal
05/12 - 135.0 (136.1 trend) starting to log again today
05/13 - 133.2 (135.7 trend) Not sure I'm believing this. Will wait until tomorrows weigh in to see.
05/14 - 133.6 (135.4 trend) I'll take it
05/15 - 134.2 (135.3 trend)
05/16 - 135.2 (135.3 trend) too much sodium over the past couple of days. Need to be more careful
05/17 - DNW - had a craving for a Big Mac and fries and gave in. Was afraid to step on scales
05/18 - 134.0 (135.0 trend) very surprised
05/19 - 133.2 (134.7 trend) I thought for sure that the scale would go up after the heaping bowl of mashed potatoes I had for lunch yesterday. Very happy they didn't
05/20 - 133.4 (134.5 trend) thought for sure I posted this already this morning, but I guess not.
05/21 - DNW
05/22 - DNW
05/23 - 134.4 (134.5 trend)
05/24 - 133.6 (134.4 trend) should be able to drop a little more by the end of the month. If so, it will be the first month in a while that I met goal. Surgery tomorrow is at 5:30 am, so I will not be weighing in until Thursday
05/25 - Surgery
05/26 - 134.0 (134.3 trend) surgery #1 done. I think the weight gain is from the swelling. The whole lower half of my face is stretched to capacity. Meals are consisting of protein drinks, pudding, applesauce and mashed potatoes.

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
April results: -0.6
April end weight: 136.0
UGW: 130
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.
05/10 - 136.2 (136.4 trend)
05/11 - 135.4 (136.3 trend) YAY! Back to a loss for the month. Hoping to keep this up and reach my goal
05/12 - 135.0 (136.1 trend) starting to log again today
05/13 - 133.2 (135.7 trend) Not sure I'm believing this. Will wait until tomorrows weigh in to see.
05/14 - 133.6 (135.4 trend) I'll take it
05/15 - 134.2 (135.3 trend)
05/16 - 135.2 (135.3 trend) too much sodium over the past couple of days. Need to be more careful
05/17 - DNW - had a craving for a Big Mac and fries and gave in. Was afraid to step on scales
05/18 - 134.0 (135.0 trend) very surprised
05/19 - 133.2 (134.7 trend) I thought for sure that the scale would go up after the heaping bowl of mashed potatoes I had for lunch yesterday. Very happy they didn't
05/20 - 133.4 (134.5 trend) thought for sure I posted this already this morning, but I guess not.
05/21 - DNW
05/22 - DNW
05/23 - 134.4 (134.5 trend)
05/24 - 133.6 (134.4 trend) should be able to drop a little more by the end of the month. If so, it will be the first month in a while that I met goal. Surgery tomorrow is at 5:30 am, so I will not be weighing in until Thursday
05/25 - Surgery
05/26 - 134.0 (134.3 trend) surgery #1 done. I think the weight gain is from the swelling. The whole lower half of my face is stretched to capacity. Meals are consisting of protein drinks, pudding, applesauce and mashed potatoes.
05/27 - 133.6 (134.2 trend)
05/28 - 131.6 (133.8 trend)
05/29 -
05/30 -
05/31 -
May goal weight: 133
Running loss/gain for month: -4.05 -
