    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!

    April Start Weight: 145.9

    I’m a little confused, can one of you help. So, I did a body scan at my gym yesterday (first time). My basal metabolic rate is 1193. I’ve been eating 1,200 calories, and as you guys have seen… some weeks I lose, some weeks I gain, and when I lose, it’s very little (a couple oz).

    So my understanding is that you have to cut 500 calories per day in order to lose 1lb per week. Does this mean in order to lose at rate of 1lb per week I have to cut 500 from 1,193 per day?!?! 🫣. So, 693 + whatever I burn when I work out. Am I understanding this right?

    BMR is only the caloric burn you require to survive… this doesn’t take into account ANY activity you do. I’m sure you don’t just lay in bed all day doing nothing. You’re fine with limiting to 1200 calories.

    Total loss for April: Eight pounds. Nice loss in January. Very stable all through February. Slowly up in March. Now finally slowly going back down in April. I am right at the upper end of my "ideal" maintenance range, and just higher than the middle of my absolute maintenance range. That's good! I am down 7.3 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!)

    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.

    04/07-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!

    04/14-181.0-(Trend Weight: 181.4)- While I did pretty well in February, March was not a good month for me and April (so far) is not faring any better. My hunger has been outrageous, my cravings have been horrendous. I think my body is fighting the losses I had in the months prior. I have a serious lack of exercise going on due to the severe foot problem. It’s s..l..o..w..l..y getting better so I am hoping I can incorporate a little more movement this week. Lots of travel this week for some important medical appointments. One appointment is an 8 hour round trip. I will try to get some movement in on the days that I can. Weather got bad again with some snow this past week but is slowly improving now at weeks end in northern Michigan. I saw a Robin yesterday.
