8/18: DNW Down to the last few days before move. New job finally came through. Start next Tuesday, move this Saturday. Frantically trying to pack things up and not eating well. Too afraid to step on the scales this morning.

Good luck on the move and start of your new job! Remember to give yourself some grace, these are stressful things in and of themselves much less doing all at once!

I need accountability and some occasional feedback so here goes:

You are in the right location. Welcome!

Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.

08/02: 188.7 - Went swimming. Limited my iced tea/lemonade consumption to 1 glass at work.
08/03: 190.1 - Later dinner with family, heavy carbs in that meal, stress ate before bed. Sigh.
08/04: 188.6 - Stayed within my calories.
08/05: 190.0 - My "guesstimate" calories were waaaaaay off.
08/06: 190.5 - Still combating late night hunger/cravings.

08/12: 191.3 - This was a doctor's office morning weight. is my scale a few pounds off???
08/13: 190.5 - I woke up to this number, so maybe it is my weight that is up and not the scale.

You're going to look beautiful on your wedding day! So excited for you

Thank you!

@TinaLeigh67

My goodness you have sooo much going on. Moving is so stressful. Glad that you are moving and starting the new job all before your wedding, so that you will have that all out of the way before your big day : - )

I am Dawn
5'2", 61 and 5/6th : - )
I have been on MFP since October 2018.
I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
I gained 0.6 last month

Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
Thursday August 04 - 138.8 - Going to keep it very light for the next couple of days before my company arrives. He is a chef and I expect to be eating more (and richer) food than usual starting Saturday for 8 days
Friday August 05 - 139.9 - Quite surprised at this jump up, I had a very good day exercise and food wise. Going to try to take it in stride, actually feeling lean this morning.
Saturday August 06 - 138.1 - That was the last of being "good" for the next 8 days. I am going to try not to be rude and sit at the kitchen table at my laptop reading and writing into these forums while I have company (in a couple more hours from now). I will be logging and weighing, just not sure if I will make it on here or not.
Sunday August 07 - 136.2
Monday August 08 - 138.3 - eating amazing meals
Tuesday August 09 - 138.8 - Surprised (but glad) that it wasn't more, especially since I was up and weighing at 5am. Getting stuff done before my company wakes up : - )
Wednesday August 10 - 139.8 - Really not too bad considering the rich food that I have been eating
Thursday August 11 -
Friday August 12 - 139.8
Saturday August 13 - 139.8 - Wow, usually my weight fluctuates like crazy, but staying at the same number is cool, especially after eating so very well all week with my Chef friend here whipping up all sorts of rich foods accompanied by wine.
Sunday August 14 - 141.3 - Well, it caught up with me. Lots of good leftovers over the next few days, I will try to keep the quantities low. - I see that I had my dates mixed up. Fixed them
Monday August 15 - 140.1 - I still have some really good food left, but will keep the portions smaller, and no wine or cocktails.
Tuesday August 16 - 139.4 - Still working on leftovers, tonight should be the last. I am going to have pesto that was made out of things in my garden with some Konjac pasta (10 calories for the whole pack), a bit of chicken mixed in and a salad. It would be nice to see that 136.2 from Aug 07th again soon.
Wednesday August 17 - 139.1 - It seems to be coming down. I am working at it.
Thursday August 18 - 137.7 - That was very nice to see this morning.
Friday August 19 - 137.8 - Felt quite lean this morning. Working a split shift today and expect to eat more calories than I have been this entire week.

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!

08/19-201.6-(Trend Weight 200.0)- Counters are being delivered today so FINALLY (maybe} we can get the work finished on the kitchen in the (very) near future. While waiting, my handymen managed to finish the egress window in my son’s room. All the trims inside and out were actually finished yesterday. It adds a lot of light and fresh air, but more importantly safety. I’ve ordered a new grate and lid for it. Yesterday’s diet was wonderful, until about 11:00 pm. Then I added about 325 extra calories because I was so hungry. But it was “good food”, not junk. Low-carb bread with chunk chicken breast with mayo mixed in and walnuts thrown in to make a yummy low carb sandwich. The scale still dropped. I am going to try to plan my meals more carefully today and figure out the spacing.
