    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.

    4/10: 114.2
    4/11: 114.4
    4/12: 113.8 I got outside yesterday for a little bit. Beautiful but windy today. I've been having constant dreams that I'm still at work just working all night long in my dreams and wake up exhausted, so I can't deny I'm dealing with burnout. That will be my priority this weekend, not sure what will work, but I will try a bit of everything and see what helps.
    4/13: 112.0 Whoa! Probably too sudden a drop to have staying power, but I haven’t seen this number in years. Getting closer to my weight goal, but I can see now that there’s still a long way to go for toning which I have not been diligent on. Still, a little boost to start the day! 🌷

    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. πŸ’– This month is a year with some of these amazing people. πŸ’– I am so thankful for their support and accountability.

    My Goals for April


    βš–οΈ 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!
    πŸ‘£ Average 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
    πŸ“ Log Daily
    πŸ₯— Stay under my calorie range
    πŸ’ͺ Strength Train 3 days per week
    πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
    πŸ«€ Aerobics 3 days per week
    πŸ’¦ 6+ glasses of water
    πŸ“– Putting this one back in there - read almost every day
    πŸ§‚Stay Under 2400 mg of sodium daily


    πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚

    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 🌈🌷
    b]April 1: 152.8 [/b]πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– 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 πŸ˜πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“–πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ«€πŸ’¦ πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“–πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ«€πŸ’¦ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ’¦πŸ“– 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ“– 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 πŸ“ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Away - drank a lot of water, read a lot in the car, logged (estimations again).

    April 10: 153.4 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚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.

    April 10: 152.8 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚Another day on plan - creeping back. I really want to get out of this decade this month. I have been here for 3 months already. It's time!

    April 11: 152.2 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Pretty good day, met most of my goals. I did go over the sodium limit, but only by a smidge.

    April 12: 151.6 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Going for our monthly visit to Greg's cousin. Will be away most of the day and lunch with her. I'll be careful. I worked too hard this week to get back to this number to give it up now.

    April 13: 151.6 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Nice visit with Greg's cousin yesterday. Today another busy day - going to see The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the Goodspeed. We are lucky to live just 20 minutes from the play house and go to most of the shows. It is the where some pretty famous musicals got their start (Annie, Man of La Mancha, and Shenandoah) and has sent 21 productions to broadway. It's a small theater and every seat is wonderful; but our favorite is down by the orchestra. We will be going out to lunch beforehand - again hoping to be careful.

    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.

    04/13-181.2-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I got into that Christmas chocolate buried in the garage freezer last night. The cravings were HORRID. I’ll choose a lower calorie/carb day today on the zig-zag plan to help make up for it and balance my calories for the week a little better. Water, water, water also. I’ve been avoiding too much thinking it would add to the foot swelling.

    04/14-181.0-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I went out-of-town unexpectedly yesterday to chase down a Facebook purchase. Dinner was out and not so healthy but so far the scale is okay. I may end up going out-of-town again today to pick up a special order door for my bedroom that came in. I babysat overnight and am waiting for my daughter to come pick him up. Gosh, I love my time with my little Prince!

    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.

    4/13: 112.0 Whoa! Probably too sudden a drop to have staying power, but I haven’t seen this number in years. Getting closer to my weight goal, but I can see now that there’s still a long way to go for toning which I have not been diligent on. Still, a little boost to start the day! 🌷
    4/14: 113.4 Now that seems more reasonable. I got some exercise in yesterday and tonight will be meal prep for the work-week.

    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. πŸ’– This month is a year with some of these amazing people. πŸ’– I am so thankful for their support and accountability.

    My Goals for April


    βš–οΈ 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!
    πŸ‘£ Average 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
    πŸ“ Log Daily
    πŸ₯— Stay under my calorie range
    πŸ’ͺ Strength Train 3 days per week
    πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
    πŸ«€ Aerobics 3 days per week
    πŸ’¦ 6+ glasses of water
    πŸ“– Putting this one back in there - read almost every day
    πŸ§‚Stay Under 2400 mg of sodium daily


    πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚

    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 🌈🌷
    b]April 1: 152.8 [/b]πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– 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 πŸ˜πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“–πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ«€πŸ’¦ πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“–πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ«€πŸ’¦ 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ’¦πŸ“– 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 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚ 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 πŸ“– 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 πŸ“ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Away - drank a lot of water, read a lot in the car, logged (estimations again).

    April 10: 153.4 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚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.

    April 10: 152.8 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’¦πŸ“– πŸ§‚Another day on plan - creeping back. I really want to get out of this decade this month. I have been here for 3 months already. It's time!

    April 11: 152.2 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Pretty good day, met most of my goals. I did go over the sodium limit, but only by a smidge.

    April 12: 151.6 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ«€ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Going for our monthly visit to Greg's cousin. Will be away most of the day and lunch with her. I'll be careful. I worked too hard this week to get back to this number to give it up now.

    April 13: 151.6 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ₯— πŸ’ͺ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Nice visit with Greg's cousin yesterday. Today another busy day - going to see The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the Goodspeed. We are lucky to live just 20 minutes from the play house and go to most of the shows. It is the where some pretty famous musicals got their start (Annie, Man of La Mancha, and Shenandoah) and has sent 21 productions to broadway. It's a small theater and every seat is wonderful; but our favorite is down by the orchestra. We will be going out to lunch beforehand - again hoping to be careful.

    April 14: 152.4 πŸ‘£ πŸ“ πŸ«€ πŸ’¦πŸ“– Had a wonderful time yesterday. The play was very enjoyable. The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a musical based off the unfinished novel of Charles Dickens. The show has multiple endings determined by the audience to determine who was the murderer and to determine which members get a happy ending. We were in the front row, - so when Princess Puffer (the prostitute) does her scene she harassess a member of the audience - she chose Greg which was kind of funny. Then they chose Allyson to help tally the votes to determine the murderer. Food wise - I made a good choice for lunch - but had a drink and dessert. I did have a very light breakfast and dinner and I logged the best I could - but always choose the most calorie option when I estimate. And was over my calorie limit a bit (and of course the salt). Tonight is Bingo night with Mom - missed it last week because we were away for the Eclipse. Will skip the junk food tonight at the table - can't have three days in a row off plan.

    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.

    04/14-181.0-(Trend Weight 181.4)- I went out-of-town unexpectedly yesterday to chase down a Facebook purchase. Dinner was out and not so healthy but so far the scale is okay. I may end up going out-of-town again today to pick up a special order door for my bedroom that came in. I babysat overnight and am waiting for my daughter to come pick him up. Gosh, I love my time with my little Prince!

    04/15-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Traveled yesterday. I enjoyed a big juicy steak with a side of Alfredo and fresh bread. I’m sure there was damage. I’ll update my weight tomorrow when I’m sure it does not include bloating. It’s a beautiful day here in Northern Michigan. I may try to get out and do a little raking but I’ve really got to watch the foot and not overdo.

    4/01: 115.6
    4/02: 115.8
    4/03: 116.4
    4/04: 116.4
    4/05: 116.0
    4/06: 114.4
    4/07: 114.6
    4/08: 114.6
    4/09: 113.8
    4/10: 114.2
    4/11: 114.4
    4/12: 113.8
    4/13: 112.0
    4/14: 113.4 Now that seems more reasonable. I got some exercise in yesterday and tonight will be meal prep for the work-week.
    4/15: 114.0 Hmm…I still don’t have a good understanding of what causes these jumps when calories are on target. It’s better than last month, but I don’t know if it’s food choices from days ago, gaining muscle, too little food…I feel like I need a PhD! πŸ˜…
