Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan. My hubby and I have 2 kids in college… my son is graduating in May and my daughter is a freshman.
My goals for April:
🧹Spring cleaning
📝 Log consistently
🐶 Walk and train puppy
🥗 Continue the high-protein, lower carb, lower fat plan
January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
February weight lost: 5 pounds
March weight lost: 6 pounds 😃☘️
April☔️
1—208.6… I hope to see 206 again this month!
2—207.8
3—207.4
4—205.8
5—207.8 … Boing… Boing… bouncing numbers on the scale…Still very happy with my progress!
6—207.7
7—206.8 🌷
8—207.3
9—206.1
10–205.2
11–206.3…The sun is out and so are Nova and I!
12–205.7…It’s another yard day!
13–206.6 … had another great day outside in the sun. Got a little sunburn on my arms.☀️
I had fun using my power washer. My days off are done, so it’s back to work today.
Confession time: logging is not my favorite thing to do. But, I’m at the moment in this journey where I need to log consistently. I’m starting with a goal of today… then tomorrow… baby steps.
14–207.1 logged everything I ate from yesterday just now. Definitely room for improvement. Feeling like I’m starting to get back into logging daily.
15–205.5 day 3 of logging. 👍
16–205.2 I just pre-logged for today… hopefully this works!
17–203.8. Yep, it worked! Pre-logging is my new friend. 🥰
18–203.3 feeling fine 🌷
19–204.3
20–204.0 🥰 love being in the low 200’s. My first milestone is only 4 pounds away.
21–204.2 have been much more consistent with logging but it does make me a bit anxious. Working through it and realizing that a 450 calorie salad is healthier than 450 calories of greasy fast food.
Also trying to push through self-sabotage as I get closer to the 200 pound mark. This plan is for life…not for going back to bad habits.

Goal: 186.6 (Five lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
My mini-challenge is to lose 4 pounds between Easter and my birthday. My Easter morning weigh-in was 188.2. I hope to be at 184.2 by May 10th, 2023.
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
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.

My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania. I'm a RN and work long days. Logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21.
Unfortunately lost my mojo and gained a lot back but not all Thank God! Need to get back on track and focused.
Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
9/14/20-255 lbs
5/14/21-232.2 lbs MFP start date.
4/6/22- 147.6 lbs (107.4 lbs lost) I did NOT have a surgery. Did Keto.
8/1/22- 167.2 lbs
12/1/22-198 lbs
1/1/23- 213.4 lbs
2/1/23- 207.4 lbs
3/1/23- 201 lbs
4/1/23-207.6 lbs
4/2/23-209 lbs. I need to get my head right and be more accountable to myself in this. I need to get back in control and off the carbs again. Back to my lower level of daily carbs and FOCUSED on what is best for me! Not short term enjoyment. Elliptical 150 minutes for 10.11 miles.
4/3/23- 206 lbs. Was really good yesterday, was under my calories & carbs and it shows. I just don't understand why I have to go SO low carb to lose.
4/4/23- 204.8 lbs Can you tell I've been good with keeping my carbs low the last few days? Today looks to be good too!
4/5/23- 204.8 lbs. Stuck to my plan yesterday and today. Turned down a sweet treat that our director of nursing sent to us!
4/6/23- 203.6 lbs What a difference getting my carbs back under control. I wish my body wasn't so darn sensitive to carbs! I can't eat but a few servings of low carb veggies and not eating fruit. It's ridiculous!!!!
4/7/23- 202.8 lbs Well it's working again, the very low carbs. Guess my head is in it again! Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.06 miles, zones 2, 3 & 4.
4/8/23- 202.8 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4.
4/9/23- 203.6 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 10.04 miles zones 2, 3 & 4. Meat & low carb veggies for Easter lunch today but I had a piece of a Dominican Pineapple cake. OMG! Not rich and a whipped cream icing but moist as a Rum cake. So delicious! Worth the calories & Carbs IMO.
4/10/23- 205.8 lbs :-( Oh well.
4/11/23- 206.6 lbs :-(
4/12/23- 206.6 lbs
4/13/23- 206.6 lbs Elliptical HIIT setting 150 minutes for 9.92 miles zones 2, 3 & 4.
4/14/23- 208 lbs No elliptical today, had errands to do. I'm going to see my son, daughter in law and granddaughter in Oklahoma City on Wednesday for a week. Haven't physically seen them since August. He's stationed in the Air Force. When I was there last April I was 60 lbs lighter. :-( The airline seats will be tighter again!
4/15/23- 211.6 lbs :-(
4/16/23- 211.2 lbs
4/17/23- 214.8 lbs
4/18/23- 214.8 lbs. Leave for Oklahoma City tomorrow. Will be checking in and logging ad best as I can but not weighing. They don't have a scale. At least not last year.
4/19/23- DNW Well just like last year (4/23/22) the day I arrive, there is a tornado warning & sirens that evening where they live. So instead of "Typhoid Mary" I'm "Tornado Mary." My son said, "Great. When are you coming next year?"
4/20/23- DNW

4/22/23- My Birthday!

Thank you.
Went to the Oklahoma City Memorial Museum yesterday. Quite a tear jerker! But a beautiful Memorial to them and the courage & fortitude of Oklahomans! And the many rescue squads from around the country that came to help them.
Today shopping for my granddaughter, shes 20 months. And plan to go to a aquarium shortly, when my son gets home soon, that they didn't even know was here.2 -

I bet the museum was very sad. I have never been but I'm glad it's there so people can learn about all the people it affected and how people came together to help. I have a 7 grandkids and it's always fun to shop for them. Have fun at the aquarium! The best aquarium I have ever visited was in Gatlinburg, TN. I really enjoyed it!2 -

I was under my calorie goal yesterday. I’m under my calorie goal every day or only over by 5-25 calories. I’m doing something wrong that I can’t get under 200 lbs. This is what all of October was like. Bouncing around 201. I’m craving sweet things like mad since I started this damn hormone pill. Thought I was doing okay with curbing those cravings with fruit. But the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result so I’ve got to change things up! Project for the weekend.
Sorry for the rant, you ladies are all lovely! 💪🏼💗
You can do this! It might take a minute, but if you stick with it, it will happen. We’re all going to be cheering when you hit 199 🥳.

Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back!
My goal for April is to lose those 4 pounds and walking 3 days a week.
OSW: 250 lbs
April 1: 205.1 lbs
April goal: 201 lbs
4/1: 205.1

The scale flashed a bunch of numbers again this morning, including 199 (😱) but settled on this again. Oh well. Try again tomorrow.
4/18: 200.6
Cautiously optimistic. This is usually where my body starts to freak out and say wait I must hold on to every ounce of water and fat, we can’t go below 200! So, I am cautiously optimistic.
I worked 18 hours straight yesterday and feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.
4/19: 200.6 😑
4/20: 202.0
Grrr. This is what my body does. It gets close to 200 and it freaks out. I ate no differently than I have been all month. I WILL make it through this though. No other option.
4/21: 201.5

I’m not going to even say anything.
I hope everyone has a great Saturday! Rainy and cold here in Michigan.3 -

Happy April! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married woman with four kids. Mentally and emotionally, I have been struggling. I had to transition from being a stay-at-home mom/part-time worker to working 50+ hours a week after my husband's disability and subsequent surgery. Feeling the mom/wife guilt as I have not been able to find the balance. My mom had to have a heart procedure and now her condition has lead to her needing to see if she can be a candidate for a lung, and possibly a heart and lung transplant. My dad has mitral valve replacement surgery next week. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, Early Menopause, Plantar Fasciitis, and now my hair is starting to fall out. I struggle with planning meals, overindulging in carbs, not finding time to exercise, being consistent, and needing new coping skills. I know I've had a rough time dealing with all of this, but I will keep trying.
April Goals:
☔️Stretch daily
☔️Log food everyday
☔️Rugby Practices
☔️Take thyroid med everyday
☔️Increase Water Intake
☔️Either gain a little muscle or lose a little weight
January starting weight: 189.4 lbs
February starting weight: 187.3
March starting weight: 192.1
April starting weight: 194.6

15:192.5 - Hmm. It was a crazy day and I only ate one meal, but it was late at night.
16: 193.4 - What? I am hoping this is sodium related and not my body fighting me to stay this weight.

21: 188.3 - Rough times right now with a death in the family and surgically recovering family.
