I need something or someone or --- to shake me out of this rut. 🤔
At least I'm eating well for now. Not doing much in the exercise department. Maybe warmer weather will get me out and about more.

Hi everyone,
So, as I feared, my weight is up for this week. This morning the scale said, 156.0, which is 3 lbs. UP from my starting weight. I'm sure some of that is bloat, but we'll see what the scale says next Wednesday.
This week I'm going to be diligent about food and activity logging and I will try to get at least 30 minutes' walking in per day. I still believe I can lose 5-6 lbs. over the remaining three weeks of this challenge!
Have a great day, I will check back soon!

Ahhh so close to being at the end of this Countdown to Spring challenge! Already looking forward to the next challenge!
Slowly but surely chipping away at the weight to lose. I’ve been being a bit more flexible compared to the first time I lost weight, and it’s helped me to “jump back” on track so much quicker if I over indulge. Keep on keeping on!

Thank you, @Walela617 !

I forgot to post Wednesday, I had a knee procedure, but I am happy to be where I was before vacation. On crutches for 2 weeks, so trying to dial in on my nutrition, as I won’t be getting much exercise.4 -
My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. I will weigh on Wednesdays but also on the 1st and last day of every month for an end-of-month full tally.

02/26-197.8-(Trend Weight: 195.8)- Holy Cow Batman! An overnight gain of a full TWO POUNDS!!! Can you tell I didn’t get in my Lasix meds yesterday after all? It’s so hard to weather these fluid-filled fluctuations! I ended up in a nearby town to order the flowers for my friend’s funeral Saturday. I am traveling today so there will be no Lasix yet again. I may as well skip weighing tomorrow as I don’t 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. It’s 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 don’t think it’s just the liquid aspect because I begin drinking a lot more water in the evening and at night as a substitute which doesn’t 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? It’s like a switch flips in the evening and everything turns completely around and changes, especially my appetite. Any thoughts on any of this?
02/28-197.8-(Trend Weight: 196.1)- I think this is the worst documented month I’ve had on MFP after many, many years. This month has been filled with depression, loss and confusion. My best friend’s funeral is tomorrow. Once I get through that trauma I will simply have to pull myself back up and back on. March has GOT to be better. I have GOT to be better. 6.6 lbs Gained in February. The Shortest month of the year. Humph…….

Finally slept from 8:00 am until 11:00 am and I’m not in very good shape for the funeral this afternoon. My oldest DD will be attending with me. It is frigid cold but sunny, bright and beautiful otherwise. My friend Diane would have loved seeing the birds happily flitting around in play this morning. This was a tough round. Coming down on the scale 1.4 lbs overnight helped but I need to get on a losing streak now. I hope to make March a banner month. Please keep my friend Diane and her family in your thoughts and prayers today.

Hello everyone,
Dear Donna @deepwoodslady, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved best friend! I wish you strength and comfort over the next difficult days. May her memory be a Blessing. She will always live in your heart.
I really went overboard with both eating AND drinking over the past few days, but all that ends NOW!
I'm still optimistically hoping to at least get below my starting weight of 153 by the first day of Spring, and to hopefully reach a weight in the lower 140's by May.
Have a great Sunday!
