@deepwoodslady - What do you use to track your trend weight?2

Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.
I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.
I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,
I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6
Best of luck to everyone.
Day 1: Thursday 6/15 - 144.4 - Up a whole pound from the start weight of the last 100. Gaining a pound (or more) each 100 has to stop for me. I work on my feet and this extra weight is giving me all sorts of problems. Still, I have taken a nice NY cut striploin out of the freezer which I will have with some prawns tonight. I can't even remember the last time that I had a good steak. Looking forward to it. It went from 32c to 12c in one day here! I fear for my peppers and tomatoes.
Day 2: Friday 6/16 -
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight:
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous 142.26 -
About meHi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Thoughts:
1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

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.
Day 01-06/15-196.4-(Trend weight 195.8) Amazing that I can gain 2 ½ lbs just from eating Pizza at a family outing at the pizzeria. But sometimes I can drop one or even (occasionally) 2 pounds overnight if it’s just water retention. But I don’t have the waterpill anymore to help so hopefully the old ticker can push it all through in the next day or two. I’m planning lots of water today and an especially low carb menu for the day. I’ve added an extra spoiler to the top of my posts to track my progress since the beginning of this challenge way back in #1. Cold here the last couple of days. I’ve had to keep the heat on in the house, but finally some serious rain today which was badly needed.

Ultimate goal 70 kg
Day 1 Thursday June 15 Already the 15th on my side of the world. 79 kg. I am at 25 BMI but my ethnicity calls for a lower BMI to get in a healthy weight range. Went for a 3 hour walk. went 1 cal over my net limit.
Day 2 Friday June 16 79 kg. No loss but maintaining is better than gaining. Didn't do much today as I'm coming down with a cold.

About me:Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)
Info from last day of round #15.
Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)
Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off.
1st week goal weight: < 230
1st week actual weight: 229.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!

@39flavours
I think that most of us on here have experienced what happens when we stop tracking.
I myself did this, figuring that I knew the amounts. I had lost weight, but gained back 50 pounds before all was said and done.
I am totally okay with journaling every bite for the rest of my life. For me, it takes soooo long to lose weight, but I can gain very quickly.
Tracking is everything.
I know that @deepwoodslady and @Lilylady3k can for sure relate to what happens when we stop tracking.5 -
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.
I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.
I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,
I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6
Best of luck to everyone.
Day 1: Thursday 6/15 - 144.4 - Up a whole pound from the start weight of the last 100. Gaining a pound (or more) each 100 has to stop for me. I work on my feet and this extra weight is giving me all sorts of problems. Still, I have taken a nice NY cut striploin out of the freezer which I will have with some prawns tonight. I can't even remember the last time that I had a good steak. Looking forward to it. It went from 32c to 12c in one day here! I fear for my peppers and tomatoes.
Day 2: Friday 6/16 - 144.4 - Burned many many calories and food was on point. Maybe it will take a few days to catch up? Or maybe I will blow it during this weekend's town festival lol.
One of these days (years) I will be hitting what MFP always says. Here is yesterday's breakdown:
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4
Day 3 Saturday June 17
Day 4 Sunday June 18
Day 5 Monday June 19

Day 7 Wednesday June 21

Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.24 -

Me too! I have lost 30+ pounds successfully (several times) and then for some reason that's when I decide I don't have to track anymore. I slowly gain it back over time and have to start over. I am determined this time to just track forever; it works, so why throw it away?5 -

Yes, hopefully I've learnt my lesson and will be tracking and weighing for life. I think because I lost weight relatively quickly last time I convinced myself that I could take a bit of time off and any gain could be easily dealt with. But no, it's definitely not the same this time, and I'm glad of it in a way, as this way of life is becoming more deeply embedded in my habits and my experiences the longer it takes. There is no getting to goal, goal is to be in control of my health and fitness for the rest of my life.
