☔️🌧️ April Daily Weigh-in and Logging Challenge☔️🌦️

Hello April 🌱! I’m Kat, 32, 5’1”. SW (Feb.): 122.6 Lost so far: 7 lbs UGW: ~105
I’m still struggling to find what works for me so my goal this month is to focus on exercise.
🪺
4/01: 115.6
4/02: 115.8 I haven’t participated in any of the work potlucks since I started this journey (well I bring food but don’t eat any) so I decided to have some sweets yesterday and probably some today too. I don’t feel bad about it since my other choices are still healthy and we all need balance and joy. I really didn’t want to exercise, but I pushed through and did a couple levels of Ring Fit. Tonight I have a gardening webinar right after work, but I may be able to do some
light exercise while I’m listening.
4/03: 116.4 Oof! Yesterday was just under 1200 cals so this might be bloat from the cupcake I ate. I felt so sick all day after! So I learned my lesson to only have a little sugar. No exercise, but the gardening webinar was really good. I also got into the Hogwarts challenge in Slytherin and I’m really excited! External motivation and structure will do me good. I even ordered a pedometer watch so I can participate in the step challenges.

Hi all. Back again. Also sick again. Had a serious binge yesterday and feel sick. So tired.

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March, and this group in April. This challenge is the first I signed up for on MFP, so it holds a very special place in my heart. 💖 This month is a year with some of these amazing people. 💖 I am so thankful for their support and accountability.

April 1: 152.8 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 I love the beginning of a new month. Feels like a fresh new start; a clean slate. I have noticed a pattern in my weight loss. I do fantastic the first week of every month, then I kind of get lazy and for two weeks and the weight loss slows. Then I see the end of the month coming; and Yikes - only one week to finish my goals. I usually finish out the month strong. This month I'm hoping to skip that laziness in the middle of the month. Keep me to it!

April 2: 152.4 😁👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 I added a new goal to my monthly, I will post whether I was under my daily sodium goal. It has huge affect on my daily weight flucuations, so if I am accountable for it, maybe I won't abuse it so much. Had a good night with Mom at bingo, she won (always a good thing), and I won twice last night. Had a brownie - put me over my calorie limit.

April 3: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️🫀💦 🧂 Silly me, I looked back at my entries - they should have been 152.x not 154.x. I guess I was stuck in that 154 range for so long last month it just got stuck in my brain. I fixed them. Dentist appointment this morning - not my favorite.

April 4: 151.6 151.6 👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 Busy day ahead today. We have to bring the car in for it's oil change. Then off to Sams Club for shopping. Then the grocery store to pick up all that we need for our Easter celebration this weekend. It's going to be rainy (and snow) day today, so inside walks and a HIIT workout are on the schedule. Then tonight going to a fundraiser for the Women's club/Firehouse. Hoping I won't binge too much.

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.

04/03-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.9)- I went out to dinner locally with my son last night. I had waited too long to eat and suddenly had a sugar drop in the restaurant. I had the special: grilled chicken breast in a parmesan sauce (similar to alfredo) over rice mixed with spinach and mushrooms. I ate the rice which is a no-no but definitely my body craved it to get the carbs to pull me out of my state. I also ate the slice of garlic toast that came with it. I drank plenty of water at the restaurant but probably not enough for the rest of the evening. Today I will try a day of redemption but I will make sure I eat a little something earlier to avoid a glucose issue. I hadn’t had an incident in over a month so that was a disappointment.

04/04-181.2-(Trend Weight 181.0)- I’m honestly shocked that the scale didn’t go down more. I had such an excellent day yesterday of following all the “rules and routines” of my diet and exercise. Not enough water and no TMI today but I still expected to see a bigger drop as my swings on the scale are usually dramatic. I guess I’ll practice the character trait of patience today. In other thoughts, will winter ever end in Michigan USA?

Jude, 67 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable. My 4th monthly challenge!
previous months: April goals:
* continue to be thoughtful about food choices and logging to make sure I’m eating well.
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb/March- it gets harder, not easier, as the goal gets closer!
