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.)
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.)

Week 2: Lost 5.4

Jan 16: 175.8 (Productive day at the office today. Got home and already had my 10K steps but the dog needed her walk so I got even more. My husband is doting on me tonight, looking after all the household chores so I have time to read and relax. He's a gem.)

I had another nerve injection today so fasted and then was sedated...everything was off. Same thing tomorrow!

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: 155.2
Jan 16: 154.6
Jan 17: 155.0 - Won't lie this is a little disappointing

Goal for January 31: 130.

Hi! I’m Rebecca from Missouri, 43, currently 274 lbs. Heaviest weight ever 285. I recently started doing Intermittent Fasting 18:6.

January goals:

Fast 18 hours (or more) per day. Lose at least 8 lbs this month.

Jan 2: 21 hour fast plus a great hike. Around 1500 calories total.

Jan 3: 270 lbs. -4 lbs! I know it’s likely just water weight, but still! I fasted for 18.5 hours today and am hoping to get a walk in this evening.

Jan 4: didn’t weigh in. Did a 19.5 hour fast and I’m trying to drink water. The big success today was pushing myself to take a lunch break and go for a walk. It was cold and I was super busy at work but went out and walked 2.5 miles.

Jan 5: weighed in at 269. 19 hour fast. I have a cold and feel crummy today. No exercise and I I indulged in an absolutely delicious dessert my wife baked. But I didn’t over-indulge.

January 15: wow, it’s been 10 days since I checked in! I was hit with a horrible flu and have been miserable for a couple of weeks. I’m finally feeling better and ready to focus on eating right and exercise! I look forward to reading through all the posts I’ve missed to get caught up on everyone’s progress!

Jan 15 PM: did OMAD today and got in a hike but sprained my foot! Yet another hurdle!

Jan 16: 19.5 hour fast which I broke with a well-balanced dinner. My foot is feeling sore. I have a boot to help me walk for a few days. I’m supposed to start a yoga/Pilates class tomorrow so we’ll see how that goes. I haven’t weighed in for a couple of weeks so I need to try and remember to do that tomorrow.

Jan 17: weighed in at 267 so down 7 lbs this month! Only fasted 16 hours but ate well and was able to mostly participate in Pilates class despite my sore foot.

Happy 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.

01/14 - 187.4 - A few days off track and the pounds are creeping back already.
01/15 - 184* - Interesting.
01/16 - 187.5 - Thinking sodium is messing with me here.
01/17 - 187.5 - Try, try again today.
01/18 - 187.6 - I was not over calories by much but my meals were heavier in carbs.

This is the frustrating part about weight loss. My numbers were coming down while I was consistently under 1200 calories. Since January 1st, I have been over 1600 calories for three days and between 1200 and 1400 for five days. I guess that is enough inconsistency to make me gain the weight back so quickly.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from Michigan 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!

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

01/17-197.8-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Lots of sleep last night, although not enough REM or Deep sleep according to fitbit. Diet as far as macros and carbs were on point yesterday but the choices could have been healthier. I did stop at a major grocery chain while I was in the city and picked up some fresh veggie items I can sneak into some of my dishes. My fasting glucose this morning was 236. Better but still not acceptable. Once I eat something it will shoot back up to between 300 and 400 and that is not good. I really need to see the 100’s in fasting. I’ll continue tweaking those carbs. It’s not just how many, it’s what type, even distribution throughout the day, slowing them entering into my system by adding proteins directly with them, etc. etc, etc. It’s complicated but I’m really feeling strong and ready for the task right now. Gonna grab the ball and run with it!


01/18-196.0-(Trend Weight 198.4)- A nice whoosh this morning. Likely some water loss due to medication and to really watching my carbs. Now….. to hang onto it. I was within my limits on carbs yesterday but on the high end of the range. Still tweaking.
