    Eclipse was awesome. The pictures don't come out very well on my phone, and certainly don't do it justice.

    The weather in Vermont was perfect for the viewing, high 50s and clear skies. Saw a couple of planets, stars, no comets. The ride to our hotel (2 hours south), took 4 1/2 hours. But it was worth it.

    My three day binge, no exercise is over. Looking forward to a walk when we get home. I'll catch up with reading all the posts when I return.

    weight.png

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    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


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from March 31st): 179.6
    Goal: 175.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************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.


    04/01-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)-

    04/02-180.6-(Trend Weight 180.9)-

    04/03-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.9)-

    04/06-181.6-(Trend Weight 181.3)-

    04/07-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)-

    04/08-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- There was no point in weighing again today. My foot and lower leg are HUGE and any weight on the scale would be incorrect anyway. I honestly would rather my losses in the near future to be real and not just all this known fluid. No chance for exercise really either. I am trying to do a little chair yoga on primarily my upper body or arms which is better than nothing. Mostly I’m just in bed keeping it elevated as the ER suggested. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful slightly brisk day in northern Michigan. Have a wonderful day everyone and enjoy that eclipse for those in the path.

    04/09-182.2-(Trend Weight 181.7)- My foot is a little less swollen this morning after resting/sleeping last night. It tends to puff back up as the day goes on so I quickly weighed before the day begins. Today I am hoping to stay off of it a little more. It got pretty bad last night. I still have to call my PCP for a follow-up appointment on the foot and the wonky bloodwork. It’s a little cloudy in northern Michigan today. I think we may be expecting a little rain. In the meantime, Pebbles the cat is enjoying her first days back in her Catio outside and she is a happy camper. She got out yesterday through the big hole in the bedroom wall which was scary. You won’t be jumping through any openings in the construction area today Pebbles!

    @ozdeelite You have come to the right place. We are all here for a reason, most of us to lose some weight. I hope you will not focus so much on how your feeling right now and focus instead on how great you will feel when you reach your goal. Remember, there is nothing that tastes as good as looking and feeling good. It's tough. Sometimes we even lose sight on the journey for a minute. It's okay. The road is still there and always open to get right back on it and keep going. We got this. We got this together, my friend!

    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.

    My Goals for April

    ⚖️ Lose 2% of my body weight - changing my goal this month, my 4 pounds per month is getting really difficult now that I almost to my goal weight - but still am going to try to get that 4 pounds!
    👣 Average 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
    📝 Log Daily
    🥗 Stay under my calorie range
    💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
    🧘‍♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
    🫀 Aerobics 3 days per week
    💦 6+ glasses of water
    📖 Putting this one back in there - read almost every day
    🧂Stay Under 2400 mg of sodium daily

    👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦📖 🧂

    Highest Weight 228

    SW Dec: 228 | Jan: 217 | Feb: 212 | Mar: 207.6 | Apr 200.2 | May 194.8 | Jun: 189.6 | Jul: 187.4 | Aug: 179.8 | Sept: 174.2 | Oct: 169.6 | Nov 164.6 | Dec 164 | Jan 159.8 | Feb 156.8 | Mar 152.8

    April Starting Weight: 152.8

    🌈April 🌈🌷

    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.
    [/quote]

    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.

    April 5: 152.2 👣 📝 🫀💦 It's what I expected, had a little too much fun last night and the salt gets me everytime. I estimated and logged what I think I had - and MFP says I am under my calorie goal, but I'm not counting it as completed. I did manage to meet my exercise goals yesterday. Today's goal - get my outside walk (it's blue sky today), then some strength training, and a little treadmill tonight. I made a vow that I wouldn't watch any of "my" shows unless I was on the treadmill. I'm binge watching Jane the Virgin, and I have an episode of Ghosts that are calling my name.

    April 6: 153 👣 📝 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦📖 I had a little set back yesterday - I think the thought of Easter preparations, and the small trip for two days led me to self sabatoge. Over on my calories, and sodium - not a good combination. I did track it though.

    April 7: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 🧂 Not the right direction, but I will get back there. I'll be away for the next couple days and then giving myself a couple days to get rid of the excess vacatioin weight before I weigh in (don't want to know). Celebrating Easter with family today - then off until Tuesday night. See you beautiful people when I return!

    April 8: DNW 📖 Only goal I met was logging. Estimated serving sizes and picked the best option I could find for the things I didn't make.

    April 9: DNW 📝 💦📖 Away - drank a lot of water, read a lot in the car, logged (estimations again).

    April 10: 153.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦📖 🧂Well that was a pleasant surprise this morning. I expected to be up from before I left - but I was SO careful yesterday. Still way up from my lowwest 151.6 - now it is time to get serious for the remainder of the month. For now - the only obstacle I see is me.

    @kountryKat What kind of tracker did you get? When I first started out I was only 2,500-3,500 steps too. I slowly started increasing them - my first goal was 5,000 a day - when I starting hitting that every day I switched to 7,500, then 10,000. Now it is an obsession of mine LOL! You got this.

    @deepwoodslady So scary - I hope they figure out what is wrong. Please rest, the exercise can wait. Losing weight is more what you eat (70%) than exercise . Hope you are feeling better soon.

    @ozdeelite We all can relate - you are on a path to greatness. The first thing is to put YOU first.
