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.

We are going to have warm stretch here in Wisconsin this week so I can finally get outside and walk. I am not a cold weather walker!!3 -
My name is Donna. I am 5β 5β 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.

02/23-197.2-(Trend Weight: 195.2)- My last recorded weight was 195.8 with a trend weight of 195.1 . Way up. Itβs peculiar, when I was a younger person in my 20βs and 30βs, if I was upset or grieving I would lose weight. Food was of no interest. Now that Iβm older (in my mid 60βs) food has become a crutch and the emotional eating is shocking. Iβm not surprised by this weight gain right now. Iβll work on it as best as I can. Too close to losing Onederland!
02/24-195.4-(Trend Weight: 195.4)- I was finally able to take my Lasix yesterday as I was home for most of the day. That explains the extra raise in weight the days before and the drop in weight showing today. Itβs so hard to gauge what is really happening when you retain fluids in heart problems and require the script. No TMI today or this may have been an even bigger drop. But when, my friends, WHEN, WHEN, WHEN will I actually lose some REAL fat and make some REAL progress? Itβs an unseasonably warm day today in Northern Michigan. I expect that some of the snow will melt which is great. The roofs canβt take much more without collapsing! The professional roof shovelers have been keeping pretty busy lately!

My name is Donna. I am 5β 5β 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!

02/24-195.4-(Trend Weight: 195.4)- I was finally able to take my Lasix yesterday as I was home for most of the day. That explains the extra raise in weight the days before and the drop in weight showing today. Itβs so hard to gauge what is really happening when you retain fluids in heart problems and require the script. No TMI today or this may have been an even bigger drop. But when, my friends, WHEN, WHEN, WHEN will I actually lose some REAL fat and make some REAL progress? Itβs an unseasonably warm day today in Northern Michigan. I expect that some of the snow will melt which is great. The roofs canβt take much more without collapsing! The professional roof shovelers have been keeping pretty busy lately!
02/25-195.8-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Itβs been a very difficult month for me from start to finish. Iβm keeping my meals pretty good but Iβm still relying on snacks for comfort when the light outside fades and Iβm alone with myself. Iβm hoping that once I get through the funeral on Saturday that things will turn around for the better. Iβm hoping I can be more focused. Iβll be traveling tomorrow for groceries and general shopping. Dinner will be out but I will try to make smart choices. I will definitely bring home all healthy foods that fit within my plan. I think I will shop for less snacks as they are too tempting, even when low calorie or low carb. I need snacks that donβt taste sweet because that seems to just be a trigger for a sugar or substitute sugar binge. I need to STOP needing sweetness at night! Iβm not a fruit eater, but even if I were I know the sweetness would trigger me right now. I need to go back to Β½ to 1 oz of unsalted nuts or some cubed block cheese. Or perhaps some occasional skinnygirl popcorn. I did much better when I stuck to those. T-minus 0 lbs with 10 pounds to go for my May birthday goal.

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.

Date night tonight! Going to try to make some better choices than I have the last couple weeks. Greg picks the restaurant this week. I really don't want to lose my momentum; we leave for our Florida trip next Wednesday and would like to have somewhat of a buffer before I go. I know that we'll be eating out a lot (even though we have a VRBO), and I won't get in as much exercise.

It's been tough to stay motivated, just work stress more than anything else. But today is my monthly weigh in day, and it is trending in the right direction each month at least, even though there are some ups and downs.
Calories yesterday:
Goal: 1600 Actual 1522
Tracking Goal: At least 6/7 days; Tracked 7 -YAY. A big goal for me is just to track and not give up on it.
Overage Goal- This is to limit if I dont make my calorie goal to limit the damage. Eh didn't do so well on this one. Stress eating cake a couple of days lol.

Iβm keeping my meals pretty good but Iβm still relying on snacks for comfort when the light outside fades and Iβm alone with myself. Iβm hoping that once I get through the funeral on Saturday that things will turn around for the better. Iβm hoping I can be more focused. Iβll be traveling tomorrow for groceries and general shopping. Dinner will be out but I will try to make smart choices. I will definitely bring home all healthy foods that fit within my plan. I think I will shop for less snacks as they are too tempting, even when low calorie or low carb. I need snacks that donβt taste sweet because that seems to just be a trigger for a sugar or substitute sugar binge. I need to STOP needing sweetness at night! Iβm not a fruit eater, but even if I were I know the sweetness would trigger me right now. I need to go back to Β½ to 1 oz of unsalted nuts or some cubed block cheese. Or perhaps some occasional skinnygirl popcorn. I did much better when I stuck to those. T-minus 0 lbs with 10 pounds to go for my May birthday goal.
02/26-197.8-(Trend Weight: 195.8)- Holy Cow Batman! An overnight gain of a full TWO POUNDS!!! Can you tell I didnβt get in my Lasix meds yesterday after all? Itβs so hard to weather these fluid-filled fluctuations! I ended up in a nearby town to order the flowers for my friendβs funeral Saturday. I am traveling today so there will be no Lasix yet again. I may as well skip weighing tomorrow as I donβt need the shock and discouragement and inaccuracy of the fluid-filled weight. I think I will be able to stay home tomorrow though so I will aim to take my medication then. Something just occurred to me for the first time this morning. I am a hard & heavy coffee drinker (black) who has no trouble with my diet during the day when I am home and preparing my own meals. Itβs the night time that is my nemesis. I realized this morning that I stop drinking coffee in the evening in order to not affect sleep. That is when the problems with snacks begin. Could it be that the coffee keeps my appetite at bay? Is it the Caffeine? Is it the hand to mouth? I donβt think itβs just the liquid aspect because I begin drinking a lot more water in the evening and at night as a substitute which doesnβt curb those sugary snack cravings like my coffee does during the day. Am I just USED TO the Intermittent Fasting during the day but not in the evening? Is the IF hurting me in some way or making me overeat later in the day? Itβs like a switch flips in the evening and everything turns completely around and changes, especially my appetite. Any thoughts on any of this?

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.

Planned overage, made ok choices at the restaurant, but then came home and had dessert and a salty snack! The beer with dinner definitely lets down my guard! Shooting for a great rest of the week before we leave on our trip.

@ozdeelite Happy birthday to Mum. Have fun, and be kind to yourself.
@deepwoodslady You may be onto something. According to what I read, drinking coffee may stimulate weight loss, it suppresses appetite, can increase fat burn, and stimulates the hormone that helps you feel full. This article says that decaffeinated coffee also lead to weight loss, so perhaps give that a try if the caffeine keeps you up? I too can have my morning coffee (or two) which helps me keep in my eight hour eating window. Just a question - when you lost all your previous weight were you intermittent fasting? I also read a few articles on eating smaller meals spread throughout the day vs intermittent fasting - studies say it is more effective. It doesn't work for me - because I don't eat because I am hungry - I eat because I see and want food. But maybe that is an option that would be better for you?

02/26-197.8-(Trend Weight: 195.8)- Holy Cow Batman! An overnight gain of a full TWO POUNDS!!! Can you tell I didnβt get in my Lasix meds yesterday after all? Itβs so hard to weather these fluid-filled fluctuations! I ended up in a nearby town to order the flowers for my friendβs funeral Saturday. I am traveling today so there will be no Lasix yet again. I may as well skip weighing tomorrow as I donβt need the shock and discouragement and inaccuracy of the fluid-filled weight. I think I will be able to stay home tomorrow though so I will aim to take my medication then. Something just occurred to me for the first time this morning. I am a hard & heavy coffee drinker (black) who has no trouble with my diet during the day when I am home and preparing my own meals. Itβs the night time that is my nemesis. I realized this morning that I stop drinking coffee in the evening in order to not affect sleep. That is when the problems with snacks begin. Could it be that the coffee keeps my appetite at bay? Is it the Caffeine? Is it the hand to mouth? I donβt think itβs just the liquid aspect because I begin drinking a lot more water in the evening and at night as a substitute which doesnβt curb those sugary snack cravings like my coffee does during the day. Am I just USED TO the Intermittent Fasting during the day but not in the evening? Is the IF hurting me in some way or making me overeat later in the day? Itβs like a switch flips in the evening and everything turns completely around and changes, especially my appetite. Any thoughts on any of this?
02/27-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I overslept today and didnβt get to weigh. I honestly wasnβt planning on weighing anyway. Picked up my DGS from the bus just a little bit ago. He had Β½ day today and again tomorrow due to P/T conferences. Tomorrow is Pajama day for him at school. He pays $1.00 to wear them and all the proceeds from K-12 will go to the graduating class. Luckily I bought him new ones for Christmas from the movie I took him to the theater to see, βWild Robotβ. Heβll be extra cute tomorrow. I am planning a good low calorie/carb day today. Hopefully it wonβt be derailed because my DD and DGS are here for their weekend. Tomorrow is my normal no-weigh Friday which happens to land right at the end of the month. Due to the time I can weigh, it probably wouldnβt show the whole picture with accuracy. I will likely weigh on Sat the first and use it as my end of Feb/beginning of March shared weight.

@iLive2Walk This was a great article which helps to answer my questions. In answer to your questions, I drink half-caf coffee. My heart doctor wanted me to drink 100% decaf but I compromised with Half-caf. In regards to Intermittent fasting, yes I did practice that when I lost all my weight prior. In-between then and now, I did not. I picked it back up when I got serious again about my weight loss. In truth, I am usually not concerned with breakfast in the morning. I just want my coffee! That is what made me wonder about the effects of my drinking it. Most days I don't even care about food or want it until I stop drinking the coffee. I found that interesting. And then once I eat, I just want to do it all day long. Especially at night when the full effects of the coffee has worn off (?). Or is it when I stop being busy and I get a bit bored that I want to eat(?) Probably a little of both. What makes me want to binge, just keep eating and eating AND EATING once I start? I do feel like the coffee has something to do with it which is supported by the article you posted. I think maybe I will experiment and buy some 100% decalf and maybe drink a cup or two in the late evening and see if it makes a difference. I'll let you know if it helped once I shop and try. Thanks for sharing the article!2 -

February 2025 Reflection
It was a pretty good month for me, I stayed under my goal weight the entire month and ended down a little over a half pound in January. Iβm happy where I am and still calling being in the ideal BMI range my goal weight, but I have a mini goal to get to 137 pounds. In the end, I would love to reach 135 someday. Then a five-pound buffer would always keep me in the ideal weight range. The closest I got this month was 137.6 but then crept back up to where I am today - 138.6.
I am a numbers and spreadsheet geek β this month I was under my calorie goal for the month 2,126 calories. When you divide that by the 3,500 calories in a pound you get .6 pounds β just what I lost! It doesnβt work each day but when you look at it a month at a time, itβs amazing how it works for me.
On the Fitness front:- I decided on FitXR as my Virtual Reality subscription. My favorite is the Combat routines β but like the HIIT workouts as well. Not impressed with the Zumba classes (could be that I am just uncoordinated). They have a daily challenge that I have been following. I have been having a lot of fun with it. Just missed one day in February.
- I finished the Sorcererβs stone Conqueror challenge, now making my way through the Chamber of Secrets.
- I continue to ride my recumbent bike as a warm-up before strength training, so ride 3 miles β three time a week.
- I started adding a circuit of strength training before my nightly treadmill walk β just 10 reps of each of the stations on our weight machine (that used to just collect dust). Takes just 3 Β½ minute and is good for me.
- I am still working my way through the interval training program from the Improved Health channel. I just started week nine (the first week of series three). As I mentioned last month, I use the elliptical for my "fast as you canβ section of the training. It is a lot of fun.
- I am just shy of the 500-mile marker on my quest to reach 2,025 miles (in all steps) in 2025. My tracker says βWow! I guess I am consistent in how many miles I have been traveling, because the tracker still says that if I continue with my average I will finish on September 6th, 2025.
I am reading the same three books, Atomic Habits, along with my Biggest Loser group, The Prisoner of Azkaban with my Hogwarts group, and the Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl Volume One. I havenβt touched the short stories in a while. I need to get back to it. The two with the groups are just a couple of chapters a week, and I donβt like to get ahead.
I continue to work on my three new yearβs resolutions. I completed them all again this month; fifty-nine days and on my way to making it a permanent part of my life.
We have been going out to dinner once a week, my planned overage for the week. I havenβt really been making wise choices when I go. When I have a drink, all willpower leaves me. But the good news is that I got right back to it the next day. I guess that is what maintenance is all about.
I have one challenge in March. We are leaving for Vacation next week. A trip to Florida. It is my momβs cousin (my 2nd cousin) 100th birthday. We are throwing him a surprise birthday party and much of the family is traveling to Florida for the occasion. Greg, Monty and I are driving down. We rented a house with my sisters, brother-in-law, their pup, and my cousin and his wife and hopefully my mom (there will be 8 of us and two dogs). Mom has been having some anxiety attacks about going, so she may stay home. We booked her flights just in case she decides to come at the last minute. Iβm hoping to get a small buffer this week β going to work really hard until we leave.
My Goals for March- Maintain my weight, despite the Vacation week
- Continue to log everything β daily tracking of food, exercise and other SMART goals
- Weigh-In Bi-Weekly with my Challenges
- Average 14K steps per day
- Walk every day
- Strength Train 3 days a week
- Continuing Interval Training program - will need to figure out something for the "fast" section while I am on vacation.
- Full Body Stretch workout β once a week
- Stay under sodium goal
- Incorporate one dinner out each week and still stay under weekly calorie goal

Darlene, you are truly an inspiration! π₯°π₯°iLive2Walk wrote: Β»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.

Ending February 28: 133.6
Darlene your motivation and progress photos are inspiring, so on that same note here is my February reflection:
Overall I am so much happier with my weight. I donβt think Iβve realized how far Iβve come. Looking back at my log, I weighted 159.2 pounds this day 2023! I have hip bursitis so walking can be painful and I have chronic neck pain, so exercise can be challenging. I do pretty good with diet but itβs the exercise I struggle with for reasons above and difficult work schedule. While I am happier with the number on the scale, overall I want to feel healthier! So that means finding exercises I can do to be more active!
Goals for March.
- maintain and/or get a buffer in for weight
- Really strive to meet walking goal 7k daily
- continue with Pilates/yoga videos
See you all on the March page!! π

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

02/27-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I overslept today and didnβt get to weigh. I honestly wasnβt planning on weighing anyway. Picked up my DGS from the bus just a little bit ago. He had Β½ day today and again tomorrow due to P/T conferences. Tomorrow is Pajama day for him at school. He pays $1.00 to wear them and all the proceeds from K-12 will go to the graduating class. Luckily I bought him new ones for Christmas from the movie I took him to the theater to see, βWild Robotβ. Heβll be extra cute tomorrow. I am planning a good low calorie/carb day today. Hopefully it wonβt be derailed because my DD and DGS are here for their weekend. Tomorrow is my normal no-weigh Friday which happens to land right at the end of the month. Due to the time I can weigh, it probably wouldnβt show the whole picture with accuracy. I will likely weigh on Sat the first and use it as my end of Feb/beginning of March shared weight.
02/28-197.8-(Trend Weight: 196.1) Normally a no-weigh Friday because of the early rise and medication changes on Fridays. However, I decided to weigh today because itβs the final day of my monthly challenges. So weight is after 3 hours of sleep. Scale is the same as the last time I stepped on it. After the travel day Wednesday, I guess I shouldnβt be too awful mad. What I am mad about is that (according to my monthly challenges) I gained 6.6 lbs in February. And Feb is the shortest month of the year!!!! Boy, do I ever have my work cut out for me. Anyway, after weighing I got my DGS on the bus at 7:15 and then the snow began to fall. Winter in Michigan, beautiful but lβ¦oβ¦nβ¦g. Tomorrow is the funeral for my friend. You can tell I am getting old because there have been too many goodbyes.
