    Well, this isn't off to a very good start. I guess with Easter and a night out with friends, staying stable is better than going up, but I was under my calorie count every day except for the night out. I was active last weekend and worked out or walked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. This is going to be a long road.

    Not going up is definitely a good thing even though there is no loss. Just keep at it! You’ll see results soon. I’m sure you are aware a million things contribute to no movement on the scale… water weight, time of day, muscle growth (even walking builds muscles), low/new batteries in the scale😉 lol, etc.

    Just keep going, and it’ll come.🙂

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)[/b][/b][/color=green]

    Start Weight (from March 31st, 2024 ): 179.6

    Goal Weight: 175.6 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx




    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.


    04/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Easter dinner was at Golden Corral all-you-can eat buffet. I didn’t need to weigh to know I overate and gained.

    04/07-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I hate that I could not weigh today. However, I was stuck in the ER until 11:00 last night with my foot. It swelled up, was red and was horribly painful. The hospital suspected a blood clot but after much testing (Xray, CT scan, Ultrasound Dopplers and Blood work), they determined it must be diabetic neuropathy. Strange, I always thought that was like a phantom pain, not actually such a horrible physical thing. So today I remain a club foot and will have to keep it elevated. I knew the size would skew my weight so I will come back in a few days and add a weight when things have stabilized. Until then, enjoy your week my friends. The weather here in Michigan is improving!

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

    I don’t know what happened. I must not be logging correctly or something. We did eat out a few times at locally owned restaurants without nutrition menus, so maybe I didn’t log those calories correctly.

    A new week… going to have to work twice as hard, I guess. 🙁

    Total weight loss/gain to date this month: + 1.0 pounds

    We've been traveling this past week visiting family and friends in multiple cities so a lot of eating out, socializing, etc. I had briefly gone back into my maintenance range just before leaving on holiday, but I have not been tracking as diligently these last few days and have not been able to get more than walks in for my exercise. Flying home tomorrow, so hoping that I can get back to some semblance of my routine, despite having house guests when we get back.
