July's Daily Plan - Take meds, Quit soda, Log everything, Rec Center Workout
07/01: 190.7 - Check, Check, Check, Check
07/02: 190.7 - Not hitting calories yet, but I am on the right path. I took a beginner's strength lesson.
07/03: 190.3 - Zumba day! It was so fun!
07/04: 190.3 - Plantar fasciitis triggered again. It's so frustrating. Focus on creating routines.
07/05: 190.5 - Big meal for fireworks celebration and pre-braces meal for my kids.
07/06: 190.2 - Work out included cycling and a beginner weight lifting session.
07/07: 189.9 - Three doctor's appointments in one day and work in the evening.
Week One Assessment: -0.8
I am glad to see the tip-toe progress down the scale. I took my thyroid medicine everyday and stopped drinking soda at work. Two big stars on my goals sheet there! I need to work on logging every calorie after I eat it because when I leave it to the end of the night, I do not remember well. One day I will be organized enough to pre-plan calories again. I made it 5 out of 7 days to the Rec Center.
07/08: 189.4
07/09: 191.4 - A hungry day. High sodium.
07/10: 190.7 - Zumba day and took the kids to the pool for an hour before heading to work which ended up being a major cleaning day. Mammogram of my remaining breast was all clear on Friday! My doctor warned me to watch for Lymphedema symptoms, as she thought she felt some swelling in my left arm. Going to have to update my old knowledge on this issue.

Hello My name is Karey
Age: 41
Height: 5'10"
Goal: To drop 10lbs or more by 8/24/2022
I used to weight over 400lbs and have lost over a 140lbs since I started my journey. I been on this plateau of being between 240-260lbs for years. However, within the last month I gained 20lbs and now at 275.8lbs. I am currently going through the pre-ops of bariatric surgery and have had very little success. This past week I have been working really hard to change my nutrition plan around and exercise a bit more. I been in a funk and just have not had the excitement to do better. So, I am hoping this community will be the inspiration I need to keep going even on the days I don't feel like it. Thank you for putting this together.

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
May start: 128.4 May end: 127.4
June results: -1.0
July goal: maintenance of 128-132
I was not going to participate this month but realized soft diet restrictions lift as of the 6th. So I know as I incorporate more food, the scales will move. Goal is still to maintain weight. I would love to get to 125, but it has taken surgery and very little food to get to 128. I am happy around 130, so I believe I will focus on maintaining and working out. Need to tighten up now.
7/01: 128.6 (128.9 trend)
7/02: DNW
7/03: 125.8 (128.1 trend) not my scales so I'm not thinking this is accurate. Thought I would post anyway. Certain when I get home, that number will jump up
7/04: DNW
7/05: DNW
7/06: 129.0 (128.1 trend) I knew that scale was not right. Oh well, still within range.
7/07: 129.4 (128.3 trend) really need to be mindful now of my food intake. Starting to log again
7/08: 129.6 (128.4 trend) keeps creeping up
7/09: DNW
7/10: DNW a bit of indulging this weekend so the scale will probably show that tomorrow
7/11: 131.8 (129.6 trend) time to get the tracking going and keep from gaining any more. I have been enjoying the solid food though.
7/12: 131.2 (129.8 trend) got in the habit of snacking to keep calories up. Having a hard time stopping

Hi. I'm Doro. I was on MFP a few years ago, and as I return, have discovered that I'm EXACTLY the same weight I was when I first started with MFP all those years ago. Since I've been trying to work on weight loss every single day, that is more than depressing. But here I am, trying this again to see if it'll make a difference. Both want, and need, to lose 18lbs.4

@dorothyp3
Welcome Doro! This is a great group for encouragement and accountability2 -
@krlove80
Great that you are joining us : - )
@dorothyp3
I hear you on that one. I lost weight before, stopped tracking my calories (figuring that I knew the amounts etc.) and gained the 50 pounds that I had lost.
I will be tracking forever, and I am okay with that.
I believe that it is all about nutrition and accountability, both of which MFP and forums help so much with.4 -
I am Dawn
61 years old, 5'2"
I joined MFP in October 2018
I have lost around 50 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose. I was 10 pounds less at this time last year and really did feel better. Right now I don't fit into the clothes that I was wearing then. I will use that as motivation to try to reduce.
Friday July 01 - 138.6 - Happy Canada Day : - ) I will try to keep it reasonable today after work when all of the festivities are going on. This morning shows me up 0.9 above last month's start weight.
Saturday July 02 - 136.2 - Huh? Well, I'll take it : - ) Danced my *kitten* off at the park right near my house. We too had a big rain storm at one point and got drenched. Ran under a tree, the band temporarily stopped so we went back to my place to change clothes and went back when we heard the band start back up. We got a beautiful rainbow after all of that : - )
Sunday July 03 - 138.4 - I went into the red a little bit (18) yesterday which rarely happens. The scale has reflected it. It is supposed to rain here for today and tomorrow, so I got all of the grass cut and stuff yesterday. Today I will pick away at indoor stuff, get the floors washed etc.
Monday July 04 - 141.0 - Ouch
Tuesday July 05 - 140.4 - Very late dinner last night, so hoping to see a good drop tomorrow as I anticipate a normal eating window tonight. Went to see the Elvis movie, then watched the Macy's July 4th celebration on TV.
Wednesday July 06 - 138.6 - Okay, back to the month's start weight
Thursday July 07 - 138.6 - Expected a big drop today, so very much activity and little food. Maybe it will take a couple of days, or maybe my body likes it best at this weight.
Friday July 08 - 138.5 - So quick to gain, so slooowww to take off. Banner week, lots of exercise and healthy food choices. I honestly had expected a better drop. Friday night is usually when I eat something a bit more indulgent (but staying within calories). We'll see.
Saturday July 09 - 137.7 - I did have 4 wings last night. Weekends I definitely eat a little differently. I also have more time for working out on my days off, but I don't get the steps on my pedometre that I do while waitressing during the week.
Sunday July 10 - 138.8 - Taking the gain in stride.
Monday July 11 - 141.0 - I don't get it : - (
Tuesday July 12 - 139.8 - Lots of sweating in the yard after work yesterday.
Wednesday July 13 - 138.6 - Back to this month's start weight again. Too scary to climb up into the 140s, which was my weight 2 years ago.
Start weight this month: 138.6

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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!

07/11.…..195.6…..(Trend Weight 201.8)…..
07/12.…..196.6…..(Trend Weight 201.3 )….. No reason for the gain whatsoever except possibly sodium. Yesterday I decided to trade out my fiber count for sodium count on my MFP diary and boy was it an eye opener! I didn’t realize how much sodium is in things. Mine was way over and the main culprit was cottage cheese? Yikes….So there may be some retention today showing up. I may try an at-home test this evening to see if I still test positive for Covid. I have been sick for 5 full days including day 0 (Thursday). Still getting some phlegm but a lot less coughing. Overall, feeling a bit better, just a bit weak and dizzy at times still. Hard to tell the difference between the actual Covid right now, and the body that is fighting to get back to normal. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and doing things. I’ve just got to stay on target and not let the social stuff sway me. Don’t buckle Donna! It’s always YOU who decides what you poke into your piehole!
07/13.…..197.0…..(Trend Weight 200.8)….. Another reading in the wrong direction. I have no idea why except all of this must be related to Covid. Maybe I’m on the mend soon? Yesterday I tried a little fasting but was careful to eat when I felt the glucose slightly dropping. I ended up under 1100 calories. Still not much exercise but meals were small and carefully chosen. Lack of exercise doesn’t let me burn off what I’ve eaten so maybe that is the answer? Anyway, I’m going forward with a positive attitude. I think I am firmly in Onederland with or without the virus. I’ve just got to trust the process. It has been a long time since I have been able to go this many days in a row following my diet without interruption of travel (or anything else). I’ll admit that a time or two I wanted to comfort myself after the covid diagnosis with food because “I deserve it”. But then, I quickly realized that what I really deserve is to be healthy and happy and not trapped in a sick, old, weak, tired body. I’ve been working hard on this and being sick has given me the time to focus on myself. Dieting is never easy but I’ve kept my resolve strong, worked through the cravings and planned for the hunger.

Name: Ashley
Height: 5'7"
Age: 28
July start weight: 202-205lbs
1st goal weight: 190lbs
UGW: 125-130lbs
I am just starting my weight loss journey. I gained a bunch of weight during pregnancy and my little man is almost a year old now. It's time for me to drop the baby weight!
7/10 - 200.6lbs
Notes: I have been watching the scale bounce around the same 5 lbs for the last 6 months. I kept talking about losing the weight, but also kept procrastinating. I'm biting the bullet now and getting back in shape. I did 40 minutes of plates last night and am making today my official day one.
7/11 - 200.0
7/12 - 201.8
Notes: I didn't weigh in first thing this morning and hubby made breakfast. I'm not convinced that explains all of the weight gain, but we'll see.
7/13 - 200.6
Notes: Fluctuation is normal. I want to only see drops and that's not realistic. Keeping my calories counts in check is harder than I expected.

I am Dawn
61 years old, 5'2"
I joined MFP in October 2018
I have lost around 50 pounds and have another 20-30 to lose. I was 10 pounds less at this time last year and really did feel better. Right now I don't fit into the clothes that I was wearing then. I will use that as motivation to try to reduce.
