JANUARY 2023 DAILY WEIGH IN AND LOGGING CHALLENGE!!!!!

Hello all!
My name is Ashley, 36 years old. Married with no kids, one dog, two cats.
Original start weight: 293 (01/21)
January start weight: 178.2
January goal weight: 170
Ultimate goal weight: Maintain range of 160-165

Jan 1: 178.2 (Happy New Year! We went out with friends last night and had a little too much fun. Slow moving today. Nevertheless, I have goals to accomplish, so I'm focused on what I want to achieve today.)
Jan 2: 179.8 (All goals met yesterday including a 7KM walk that pushed me well over my 10K min step goal. Food was tracked, water was drank, did my reading. Today is my last day of vacation before we return to the office so I'm going to enjoy every minute!)
Jan 3: 178.4 (Up early and back to my in office routine today. Yesterday I rode the Peloton, walked, and stayed on track.)
Jan 4: 178.2 (Handled my first day back to the office well. Got my 10K steps and stayed on track.)
Jan 5: 178.8 (I have work lunches out both today and tomorrow that will require good planning. Last night I rode the Peloton and hit all my goals for the day.)
Jan 6: 179.2 (Positive day given that I exceeded 12K steps. However, I was put into many different food situations, and by the end of the day I started to make poor choices.)
Jan 7: 180.8 (Up to go hiking with my husband. Not going too far because we have dinner theatre tonight.)
Jan 8: 180 (Worked out a ton yesterday with a hike and the Peloton because I had the energy. The dinner theatre was good - a lot of good but I made reasonable choices. I have already had a short ride on the Peloton today).

Week 1 - Gained 1.8

Jan 9: 180.4 (Had a very busy day today. Commuted in for a work day in the office, got home a bit later than normal, walked the dog, tag teamed dinner prep with the husband, ate a delicious salmon dinner, and vegged a bit. I leave for a two night business trip tomorrow so that's got me feeling rushed.)
Jan 10: 179 (I travel for business today, flying for a two night overnight stay. I am hoping to do a Peloton ride first thing this morning. If I can fit a workout into the hotel tomorrow I'll be golden.)
Jan 11: DNW (Kept my commitment to myself and hit the hotel gym for a workout before my busy day of meetings started.)
Jan 12: DNW (Home sweet home. Really proud that I started today with another elliptical workout at the hotel. Made good choices again before flying home.)
Jan 13: 176.6
Jan 14: 174.2 (Back home, clearly the hard work on my business trip paid off on the scale, feeling great about that. I am on the road today and it will include a brunch with friends that's already pre-tracked. Nursing my knee that I hurt on the bike on Tuesday.)

Howdy! I’m a West Virginia girl who is trying to get back to basics. I lost 50 pounds from January to October last year then fell apart, gaining 10 pounds back. I'd like to drop another 40-50 pounds this year. I'm only 5'1" so my goal weight is <120. I enjoy being active, but I also like lazy days on the couch snuggled with the dog especially in the winter months.

Starting weight: 160.8
Jan goal: 155

Jan 3: 160.8
Jan 4: 159.2 - Coming down from a large high sodium dinner on the 2nd...
Jan 5: 158.4
Jan 6: 157.6
Jan 7: DNW - forgot to do it before I ate breakfast.
Jan 8: 156.8
Jan 9: 157.0 - Not bad for a pizza night last night. I was within calories, just a larger late meal.
Jan 10: 157.4 - High sodium dinner, but definitely under calories yesterday so no worries.
Jan 11: 155.6 - That's better
Jan 12: 154.8 - Surprised it went down since I had a few beers last night. Usually they cause at least a temporary blip.
Jan 13: DNW
Jan 14: 155.4 - Chinese for dinner last night.

Jan 15: 174.6 (Someone in another group suggested Voltaren for my knee which I slathered on before bed last night, so I may try that again today. Focused on walking as my exercise yesterday and the knee is holding up fine. Today we will watch the football game.)

Weekly Weigh In January 14
Down .4 lbs - Trying to remember I could very realistically be down below 140 by my birthday at the end of February. My problem these days seems to be meal planning and I will focus on that this week.

01/14-197.2-(Trend Weight 198.8)- A perfect day yesterday so I’m not sure why the scale is up. The Universe reassessing? No worries. I’m very much on track. It’s probably just my low level of sleep last night, early weigh-in and maybe because I haven’t been getting REM sleep lately? Anyway, I will be hitting the road soon for my brother’s birthday celebration. I can’t wait to see him and my SIL. He is also diabetic and has some very serious heart conditions now (different from mine, but worse to fix). I love being able to travel with my oldest daughter too. She has been dieting so maybe we can keep each other somewhat accountable, even during travel and party. My youngest daughter eats constantly and showers me with food. My older daughter (12 yrs older) is more likely to be concerned with my glucose and encourage me to watch it! I would love to spend more time with her but she is so busy. Teacher’s assistant at our local K-12 school, in college for early education and has 3 children - High school, middle school and kindergarten. Never enough time for mom. I’m just glad that college doesn’t open back up until the 19th and she can go with me.

01/15-NO SCALE-(Trend Weight DNW)- Arrived back home from the overnight travel about 9:00 PM. Party was very well attended and a lot of fun. Too much food. I skipped much of it but what I ate didn’t exactly have zero calories or carbs. Travel again tomorrow morning for rehab. I’m going to try to get back home quickly. Ice storm starting tomorrow evening.

appy New Year! I am a mid-40's female who is 5'4" tall, a 2x cancer survivor with Hypothyroidism who is returning to MFP for accountability and to help track the effect of medication and weight. There is a lot of change and stress in my life right now and I am need to replace overeating and drinking soda as my stress reliever with other coping strategies. A star will track when I stayed under my daily caloric goal.
