Hi all. Back for February. A pretty disastrous start with a 2kg - roughly 4lb gain so now have to re-lose 2kg this month. Have just started a new job in disability support which is good but still have an unregistered car for another week which is really hampering my exercise.

Hi, I'm Darlene and am back for another month. I am working my way through the maintenance phase of my journey. I weigh weekly, and record my accomplishments daily. I started this journey in January 2023 and lost almost 90 pounds. I reached my goal weight in October 2024, went back over my goal in November (took a month off from this group - big mistake) and then back to my goal in December and January. This was the first group that joined on MFP and holds a special place in my heart.
My Story if you want to read.Hi all - I'm Darlene. I live in Connecticut with my Hubby, Greg, and Pup, Monty the Golden Doodle. I have one grown daughter, Allyson, who turned 30 this year. I have been with this group since April 2023. I did miss a couple months - but realized that I needed the daily accountability and support and came back.
I retired in 2020. Prior to retirement, I worked at a University in their Alumni and Developlent Affairs department. I consolidated the monthly donor statistics, reported the results, and maintained the donor database. Other careers in my past life - I was a nursery school teacher while Allyson was in school, and was an accountant at IBM for many years before she was born.
I started my weight loss journey in January 2023. Hubby went back to work on a temporary assignment. It was the first time in my life that I was home alone - no sisters, no husband, no children. Just me and Monty. I thought this was the perfect time to put me first for a change and made a vow to lose weight, give up some bad habits, and exercise. I had this goal of completing the Airline Trail (a rail trail in Connecticut - that runs through my back yard) a little at a time. It's a 62 mile trek, give or take a tenth of a mile. Monty and I started our journey on January 12, 2023 and completed the goal, February 22, 2023. I lost 16 pounds the first two months. When the quest was completed I thought now what?
I found MFP and started tracking my food consumption, and was getting bored. This was the typical me - lost a bit and then get bored, give up and gain it all back. But then I found the challenges page on MFP. I joined A LOT! of different challenges including this one. It made losing weight so much fun and has given me a love for exercise. I've given up most of the other challenges - but keep the three that I love the most - this one, Hogwarts, and the Biggest Loser Challenge. As I mentioned this support group was the first one that I joined on MFP and gives me the daily support, accountability and encouragement that I need. The other two are more a game - which make losing weigh fun and exciting. I'll do more for the team than I will do for myself, and a litte competition is fun for me.
I made it to my goal weight in October 2024, now trying to figure our the maintenance phase of this journey - just as hard as losing in my opinion. Will be in this challenge for as long as I am able. I can truely say I would not be where I am without it - down 90 pounds since the start of my journey.
I started writing monthly reflections and taking before and after pictures about six months into my journey. The reflection helps me identify what I did right and what I need to work on. It wasn't until I started comparing pictures that I could even see a difference in how I looked. I encourage you to do so - don't need to share with anyone but yourself. When you see yourself every day - you just don't realize the difference.
Here are My Before and After Pictures for the three years in this journey:

@brokenspoiled Responding to your last comment in the January thread... How did the rest of the evening go? Did you get fed? Was the dinner OK? I think you should have a re-do! This weekend, go out with hubby for dinner, just the two of you, with no in-laws!1

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.
02/01-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- I was starving at 2:00 A.M. after dozing off for a bit. Usually I grab a “legal and healthy” snack, like an ounce of nuts. Not enough. Now an ounce of cheese keeping it low carb. Not enough. A keto snack bar, still not enough, and so on and so on. This time I didn’t fall for adding that ungodly amount of calories and unexpected amount of carbs. I grabbed a bowl of healthy choice chicken noodle soup and probably a tad too many crackers and ate a proper extra meal. Satisfying without breaking the bank. I’m up a few extra ounces today but nothing I can’t flush out if I apply myself today. I will definitely be pre-planning and pre-logging. Nipping it in the bud! I have zero plans to spend this round chasing my own tail or playing catch-up. I got this!

Hi All,
Happy February!
I am a 47-year old mom of five. I'm working to lose my last few pounds. I hit my goal last year but promptly began a slow gain over the course of about seven months. I rejoined this group last month, and I've been taking babysteps towards better habits!
The most helpful babysteps for me have been: exercising first thing in the morning; using my timer for exercising and household tasks; and continuously working to improve my sleep.
My goal for February is to keep that momentum.
Ultimate starting weight: 160 lbs
January weight loss: 1.0 lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 121.0
February 1: 127.6
February 2:1 -
I would love to join!
I put on some weight and stopped exercising for 3 months when I broke my hand during an MMA match, and I’m getting close to finishing physical therapy.
I want to get off my keister, and drop about 20lbs total, but looking at losing 5lbs this month. I’d also appreciate new friends along the way too to help keep my interest in the app.
💕February Goals💕
💜No added sugar w/coworker
💚intermittent fasting
💜take vitamins daily
💚exercise 5x/week
💜track calories on here
💚go to bed at 10pm

Hi, I’m Tammy. 52 years old (will be 53 this month). married for 24 years, mother of a son (21) and daughter (18). I’ve been on MFP on/off since 2015. Lost 20 pounds in 2024 and I am working towards my goal of overall better health. I do not have a weight goal in mind….but I have a biometric scale and I am looking for those numbers to be in the normal/acceptable range and to get below my biological age. I joined this group in January and found it kept me accountable.
February Goals:
1. Log meals minimally 3x per week.
2. Increase movement (steps to 7000/day) and/or workout.
3. Check in with this group daily.
February 2: 138.5

Night time snacks are also still a factor. Just too many!!! Meals have been good, obedient, pre-planned. So have the snacks until I go overboard on them. I am not giving up.

Hi everyone!
I’m Cindy and 51. January was a busy month at work with annual deadlines. Too exhausted to go to the gym or care what I was eating. I was in survival mode. With that said I was surprised with only a 1 lb gain. February should be a good month.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 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!

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.

02/02-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.3)-
02/03-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.5)- Wow! Up nearly 2 pounds overnight. I think not taking my Lasix has a lot to do with this. I will try to stay home and take it today. Night time snacks are also still a factor. Just too many!!! Meals have been good, obedient, pre-planned. So have the snacks until I go overboard on them. I am not giving up.
02/04-194.2-(Trend Weight: 192.7)- No change. How DISAPPOINTING! Actually the word I should use is INSANITY. Definition: Doing the same thing over & over but expecting different results. Yea, this is INSANITY. I’m going to try reading tonight—a tip from someone on another challenge. Hopefully it can get me over the hump. I’ve been trying many things to beat those night time snack monsters. I have a new idea of my own I may also implement tonight. I’ll let you know tomorrow what it is and if it helped! Stay tuned!

Hi All,
Happy February!
I am a 47-year old mom of five. I'm working to lose my last few pounds. I hit my goal last year but promptly began a slow gain over the course of about seven months. I rejoined this group last month, and I've been taking babysteps towards better habits!
The most helpful babysteps for me have been: exercising first thing in the morning; using my timer for exercising and household tasks; and continuously working to improve my sleep.
My goal for February is to keep that momentum.
Ultimate starting weight: 160 lbs
January weight loss: 1.0 lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 121.0
February 1: 127.6 💗 I logged!
February 2: 128.6 I've been doing very well with logging lately, so I'm not sure why there's a gain today. I will just stay the course.
February 3: 129.6
February 4: 129.2 Yesterday I had a setback! Did not exercise upon waking because I was up late the night before with the older kids for a movie night. That's fine; I figured I would exercise later in the day. Well then on the way to take my daughter to school, at the bottom of a flight of stairs, stepping onto the ground, I twisted my ankle and fell. Yikes; my ankle hurt pretty badly all day. I pretty much had to sit all day and keep my ankle up. This was really disappointing. I was kinda discouraged. But, it feels a whole lot better today. Upon waking I did a few minutes of arm & abs exercises. I plan to get back into the groove.

Hi, I'm Darlene and am back for another month. I am working my way through the maintenance phase of my journey. I weigh weekly, and record my accomplishments daily. I started this journey in January 2023 and lost almost 90 pounds. I reached my goal weight in October 2024, went back over my goal in November (took a month off from this group - big mistake) and then back to my goal in December and January. This was the first group that joined on MFP and holds a special place in my heart.

Good week for me; I love the start of a new month. Fresh new start. Now to keep it strong for the rest of the month. Today is date night, thinking we are going Mexican (yes I choose Wednesday as date night so I don't record the uptick in weight).

@andreajlnhe Hope the ankle is ok. Take it easy on it so it repairs - I did two months of seated exercise when I had my knee injury - not fun.
@deepwoodslady I interested in your new nightly routine. Hope it works. Do you wake and eat, or are the nighttime snack before bed?
@ozdeelite Fantastic job turning it around. You've got this!
@cinw1501 @tbris4 @jm216 Glad to see you back, and starting February strong!2 -
February 2: 138.5
February 3: 138.2
February 4: 137.5
February 5: 136.5
February 4: logged my food. Steps = 3124 (below 7k goal). I started my new job in January. Between meetings and site visits my hours are not consistent so I’m struggling to get into a routine. I know this means I just need to do my walking/workout at night. I don’t know if it’s the job right now or still getting over being sick but I have been exhausted by the time I get home. Regardless, in my mind I know if I just do it I will feel better so I just have to push myself!3 -
@ozdeelite: nice start to February!
@andreajlnhe: sorry to hear about the ankle, but glad it’s feeling better!
@deepwoodslady: when I struggle I usually start to listen to some of my favorite health podcasts. It helps to refocus me and get back on track…..huh 🤔 I probably should be doing this myself right now!
@iLive2Walk: enjoy your Mexican date night!2 -
I've kind of fallen off the wagon with this. Too much takeout, and some other junk food type stuff the last week. So I have leftover takeout today (Indian food which was really good, so I have to have the leftovers lol). But trying to get back on track with tracking calories and sticking to my calorie goals.
I think partly I got off track bc of stress, work stress, and life stress, but trying to get a handle on it now.
Weigh in today was 161.8
Feb goal get to 160. It's not very ambitious bc I couldn't make my January goal, so I'm trying to make it more achievable.
February Weighins
Feb 5- 161.8.
February goals:
** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
**Track calories every day. (Jan I averaged 5 days a week- trying to make it at least 6).
**Stick to my calorie goals (1600, plus 100 on days I go in to the office- more movement/longer day).
**If I go over, try not to go over by more than 300. So that I don't just give up and splurge higher and higher.
