    04/02-180.6-(Trend Weight: 180.9)- This is my weight about 36 hours after the all-you-can-eat Easter buffet dinner. One lb up which I can handle. Today I’ll push water and focus on eating properly. I’ll need to space my meals out so I don’t overdue any night time snacks. Plan, plan, plan.

    04/09-182.2-(Trend Weight: 181.7)- I have a very serious injury to my foot. I was in the emergency room over the weekend ruling out blood clot etc. Still no specific answers but as a diabetic, any foot issue is pretty scary. My foot is still very swollen but the swelling is smaller in the morning after sleeping/resting so I grabbed my weight quickly before the swelling started back. It may not be 100% accurate but it’s the best I can do right now. I have to follow up with my family doctor as my bloodwork was wonky too. Hopefully some answers soon. Have a great week my friends. Spring is on its way!

    Started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.

    My final goal weight is 145.

    Highest weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs

    Starting weight as of January 26 2024: 155.5

    Feb 3: 156.2
    Feb 9: 155.4
    Feb 15: 154.8
    Feb 23: Away
    Mar 1: Sick
    Mar 8: 153.2
    Mar 15: 154.5
    Mar 22: 155.3
    Mar 29: 155.1
    Apr 6: 155.5
    Apr 14: 154.9

    Challenge Goal: 2 lbs (153.5)
    Challenge Actual: -.5

    It's not likely that I'll hit my 2 pound goal this round. However, my average weight is 155 this round, a full pound less than it was during the last round. As long as I'm still going in the right direction I'll take it!

    Have a great week!

    02/05: 205. Let's get it!
    02/12: 201. A fair bit of that was just not having all the vacation food in my guts. And losing all that salt related water weight.
    02/19: 204. Kinda bounced off that 200# floor. I was right at 200 for a couple of days, then food happened. I've hit that stage in weight loss where my workouts are suffering. Lifting much less weight despite still going to the gym regularly. My joints ache. Had to do a bit of a refeed to feel better about the workouts, but it had consequences.
    02/26: 199!!! Finally under that 200 mark. I fluttered between 196.5 and 199.5 over the last few days, so I'll take it!
    03/04: 197. That's realistically about 4-5 pounds down in Feb. That's right on track. Pound a week is good stuff. I'd love to be down to 190 by my b-day in May.
    03/11: 195. Killin' it. Although I'm expecting a small rebound from not being in the gym while I've had a cold.
    03/18: 197. There's the bump I expected. No worries. Back at it.
    03/25: 194. I was really good this week, but at least some of that is dehydration from the 2 glasses of wine I had before bed. :)
    04/15: 197. Man... been a second. I gotta be honest that I am pretty stoked about this 197 because I've been on vacation in TX for the past 2 weeks with no gym and TX food... so... I'll take this 197. I bet it will be a fair bit lower next week.

    I'm home from Idaho after 9-days visiting family and friends. And they do like to eat and eat
    While away, I didn't exercise or log meals and was shocked to see the gain of only 1lb.

    Great job! Going home to family is rough when you come from a "food is love" sort of family. Only gaining a pound in 9 days of that is incredible! You should be proud.
