    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.🙂

    Total loss for April: Essentially unchanged again this week. I am still in maintenance, and at a pretty steady average weight for that matter. I'm near the top of my maintenance range though. I am down 6.6 pounds for the year.

    Stick to it!

    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!

    04/21-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    04/28-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    04/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    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.

    I threw away the last of the homemade Rice Krispie treats and carrot cake last Friday. I mean one treat on a special occasion is fine for me, but there is no need to keep that around - isn’t worth it for many reasons. I have incorporated more vegetables in meals again, but the scale crept up slightly after Easter. I will attribute it to the sushi the night before and extra wine. I know when we make small changes they do add up to big results over time and won’t get discouraged!
