Total loss for February I am holding steady again week. I'm down about 1.5 pounds since January 28, but for the month starting on February 1, I am essentially unchanged. I am pleased to be holding steady again in maintenance. I'll call that a success for the third week in a row.

I won’t lie, this is very disappointing to me. But I’m still 14lbs down since the start of the year so that is an achievement. Ideally I’d have more of a loss but I guess there is still a week left of this month?! 🤞🏽😭 Who knows? 😅🥲

4 days late for my weigh in due to family emergency, so here's where I'm at now.

February 1: 217.2
February 8: 215.6

Just turned 69, 5'6" with my only child's wedding happening about 7.5 months from now. (Think, Game of Thrones' "winter is coming" only substitute "photographer is coming")

Found out last week that I have gallstones, including one that's impacted and partially blocking a duct...surgery ahead, but for now it really focused my attention on getting as much fat out of my diet as possible. I even ordered the cutest little Vortex 1-serving air fryer, only $39.00 and in a happy pale blue color. Today I plan to christen it with mushrooms, brussel sprouts, asparagus, and green beans!

Then tomorrow I undergo a previously scheduled heart procedure (cardioversion, to get my heart out of the afib it began 4 weeks ago) so...it feels like a lot all at once. I doubt I'll hit my weight loss goal this month, but I will consider it a big achievement if I just continue to avoid stress eating and alcohol. So far, so good

That's an amazing drop this month!! Way to rock the drop!! How did you manage this.....by cutting carbs?? I've been eating more than usual so not going down that's for sure. This encourages me. Fabulous month. And so close to reaching your goal. Proves there is an end if we stick to the plan.

Hi. I normally eat really low carb. Visited my mum, ate carbs and gained 10lb. Stopped the carbs and lost the 10lb again. Its just water weight. This last week I've been super strict on my diet, and doing an average of 10,000 steps a day. Having a real hard push to finally get to my goal before my 60th birthday in April!
Stick with it! It's taken me 20 months but so worth it

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.


02/01-194.6-(Trend Weight: 196.7)- It’s a short month but I will not lower my expectations for myself. I want the next five pounds gone! That would literally be finding me dipping my smallest pinkie toe into the warm welcoming waters of the 180’s (189.8). What a dream! It’s sink or swim!


02/07-196.6-(Trend Weight: 196.6)- I’ve been so back and forth this week and affected by travel. I’m just not doing any better on my choices in that department (in most cases). The required restaurants are just my weakness that I can’t seem to master most of the time. I’m a work in progress, even after all these years. The pro…..My trend weight is down a touch so I’m hopeful. Trendweight.com is also continuing to show my date to reach my goal weight getting better and better. Now, if I could just have the same faith in myself that it has in me based on my patterns!

02/14-193.8-(Trend Weight: 195.0)- It has been a very good week for me until last night. This weight reflects a good sized bump up after some self-sabotage. Saw a diabetic specialist yesterday and then spent the night doing exactly the opposite of everything they told me. I don’t know why I do this to myself but today and tomorrow will be redemption days. I’m proud of my progress so far and got to keep this engine rolling! It is not just a vanity thing at this point. My health really depends on it at this point.

02/21-192.4-(Trend Weight: 194.8)- After seeing the endo, I saw a dietician this past week who pumped my carbs up from 90 to 190-250. I tried it for 4 days, gained several pounds and my fasting sugar shot up to almost 300 (mine had been running 130-150.) Glucose is not a wait and see. It will IMMEDIATELY tell you if what you are eating is good or bad. I did give it the 4 days, then I promptly put myself back on my own plan that I had carefully crafted after much research and reading. My weight is going back down and so are my glucose numbers. I don’t think I’m going back to the dietician although quite a few sessions are expected. Dieticians are there because there is no one-size-fits-all with people. It is individualized. I tried to talk to her about my aversions with so many foods, my eating disorders, my insulin resistance after being diabetic for over 15 years, what my other doctors have been suggesting and she just didn’t hear me. I knew the increased carbs were suicide for me. I only stuck to it for a few days to prove it. My endocrinologist is giving me 90 days to show better glucose numbers on my meter or he’s putting me on insulin. I couldn’t let this dietician do this when my body’s response was horrid. No time to waste.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
