    over this crap. Sick of being overweight. Been fat so long. 3 years ago I was 90-95kg which was ok. This *kitten* with my bladder has caused so many problems. Canโ€™t believe how much my stomach has ballooned in a couple of weeks. I feel disgusted.

    Happy April! ๐Ÿ’ Iโ€™m Jill from Michigan. As of today, Iโ€™m down 10 pounds from my heaviest weight. ๐Ÿ”Ÿโฌ‡๏ธ

    Continuing on good habits this month:

    ๐ŸชปWalk/dance 5 days each week

    ๐ŸชปWeigh in consistentlyย 

    ๐ŸชปEat smaller more frequent meals

    April 1: 222 ๐ŸŒทย 

    April 2: 221.95 ๐Ÿ’ย 

    April 3: 221.6 ๐Ÿ’

    April 4: 224.0

    April 5: 223.5โ€ฆ amazing what 1 day can doโ€ฆ

    April 21: 227.4โ€ฆ. Yepโ€ฆ time to get back into being healthier and stronger. Today marks day 1 of weighing in and logging.

    Have a great week!

    Breakfast๐ŸŒทlogged.

    Lunch is packed and logged ๐ŸŒท
    20 minutes of dancing and walking๐ŸŒท

    April 22: 226.1 Day 1 is logged & complete and Day 2 has breakfast and lunch pre-logged. I think Iโ€™ll get a walk in before work.

    On to play outside and do my favorite exerciseโ€ฆ cutting grass. Itโ€™s the first mow of the season. Spring trees are now in bloom, so time to go! Must save some energy for the Tigers game tonightโ€ฆ I hope we donโ€™t get rained out!

    I was a bit over yesterday- ice cream.

    Goal- 1600 Actual 1710.

    April Weighins

    April 16 161.2
    April 23- 159.8
    Apr 27 160.2

    Apr 28- 160.2

    April goals:

    ** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
    **Track calories every day.
    **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.

    Hi All,

    I'm very happy to be joining you all again for April.

    I'm 5'2", working on getting to my goal weight and then staying there. I will tell you all that this month will be different for me. My goal for the month is not really to end up with a loss, but to LOG. In our world, Greek Orthodox Easter (Pascha) is the center of the universe, and there is a lot of feasting. There's a lot of fasting before Pascha, and a lot of feasting afterwards. So when we get to the days and weeks after April 20, I will be continually surrounded by copious amounts of amazing food, and that's great. But I have decided that this year I will continue logging no matter what events are going on in life (until I've been at goal for a little while anyway). My plan is to set my logging to maintenance for the end of April and to just eat at maintenance; even a little over that is OK sometimes, as long as I keep the logging habit.

    • April 1: 124.8
    • April 2: 125.0 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 250 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 3: 124.8
    • April 4: 124.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 328 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽŠ I was really surprised to see this result on the scale. I didn't do so great yesterday and thought surely the scale would go up.
    • April 5: 124.6
    • April 6: 125.6
    • April 7: 127.2
    • April 8: 127.0 It seems like if I have a good day, the scale goes down 0.2, but if I have a bad day, the scale goes up 2.5. ๐Ÿ™„ Gotta keep trying.
      • ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 182 calories over goal
    • April 9: 125.8 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 6 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 10: 125.6 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 56 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 11: 124.8
    • April 12: 125.2
    • April 13: 125.0
    • April 14: 125.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 44 calories over goal
    • April 15: 124.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 255 calories over goal
    • April 16: 123.6
    • April 17: 124.0
    • April 18: 123.4
    • April 19: DNW - Out of town
    • April 20: DNW - Out of town
    • April 21: DNW - Out of town
    • April 22: 124.2 So, now that our Pascha (Easter) has come, I am at my real challenge. Which is, to log, even while surrounded by all sorts of lovely high-calorie foods. My goal for the rest of April is to not be too concerned with calories, but to just log as accurately as possible every day.
    • April 23: 125.4
    • April 24: 125.8
    • April 25: 124.6
    • April 26: 124.6
    • April 27: 125.2
    • April 28: 126.4. OK! "Bright Week," the week after Pascha, is over. I've been eating all kinds of lovely foods. Now, it's TIME to get back to LOGGING! I can do it!!!! ๐Ÿ’ช I have increased my calorie goal by 300 caloriesโ€ฆ. my goal is to log successfully and gradually reduce back to the original calorie goal.

    I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Don't give up. I can't imagine how much larger we would ALL be if we didn't stick with it! I pray all of your medical issues will get under control and you can feel better (both mentally and physically) again! I'm rooting for you, my friend!

I donโ€™t know how my number isnโ€™t higher today. It may show up in the coming couple of days. Was this self-sabotage? Probably a bit of that too but I think I should have had a more substantial lunch with more protein. I was just HUNGRY! Iโ€™m happy, however, to see my trend weight continuing to go down.

Iโ€™m trying to push through since tomorrow is an out-of-town doctor appointment and there will be a restaurant dinner. We will probably go to the steak house which shouldnโ€™t be too bad carb-wise but calories will be over for sure. Iโ€™m happy to see my weight is stable today and my trend is still going down. I read my trend weight as my bodyโ€™s faith in me. This feels good.

    @deepwoodslady thank you.

    I ate a heap of biscuits last night. So one bad day. Hoping to be better this week. Goal is to walk 3 days. Try and stick to calories at least 4 days.

    Today was my weekly weighin. Not the best week, but it could have been worse. My calories were slightly over all week, but I kept my goal of not being over by a huge amount. Also I tracked every day, but a bit incomplete I think. I missed some things and estimated.

    So my weight is up very slightly but happy not more.

    April Weighins (weekly ones in bold)

    April 16 161.2
    April 23- 159.8

    Apr 27 160.2
    April 30 160

    April goals:

    ** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
    **Track calories every day.
    **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.

I ate ยพ of the steak, ยฝ of the sweet potato and none of the pasta side (boxed up and given to son later). I shared about ยฝ the mini loaf of bread with unsalted butter. Water for my drink. After a couple of hours shopping, on the several hour trip home we stopped for a milkshake. Snack last night was a typical 1 oz of nuts. All water or black coffee all day. No breakfast, no lunch and only a little over half my dinner. I know I had that shake but 3 ยฝ lb gain overnight? And this was after the morning potty including TMI ! Iโ€™m disgusted with my body. I feel like, โ€œwhat have I done to you?โ€, that I can have a shake, which, while out of my plan still should not make me gain almost 4 lbs! Thought I would be ending this round with my best round in awhile. I am feeling like throwing my hands up but I am pulling back and committing to making today a good day anyway. I can make it worse or I can make it better. I choose better. See you next round. I remain so proud of each and every one of you for your hard earned accomplishments.

    Hi All,

    I'm very happy to be joining you all again for April.

    I'm 5'2", working on getting to my goal weight and then staying there. I will tell you all that this month will be different for me. My goal for the month is not really to end up with a loss, but to LOG. In our world, Greek Orthodox Easter (Pascha) is the center of the universe, and there is a lot of feasting. There's a lot of fasting before Pascha, and a lot of feasting afterwards. So when we get to the days and weeks after April 20, I will be continually surrounded by copious amounts of amazing food, and that's great. But I have decided that this year I will continue logging no matter what events are going on in life (until I've been at goal for a little while anyway). My plan is to set my logging to maintenance for the end of April and to just eat at maintenance; even a little over that is OK sometimes, as long as I keep the logging habit.

    • April 1: 124.8
    • April 2: 125.0 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 250 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 3: 124.8
    • April 4: 124.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 328 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽŠ I was really surprised to see this result on the scale. I didn't do so great yesterday and thought surely the scale would go up.
    • April 5: 124.6
    • April 6: 125.6
    • April 7: 127.2
    • April 8: 127.0 It seems like if I have a good day, the scale goes down 0.2, but if I have a bad day, the scale goes up 2.5. ๐Ÿ™„ Gotta keep trying.
      • ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 182 calories over goal
    • April 9: 125.8 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 6 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 10: 125.6 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 56 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 11: 124.8
    • April 12: 125.2
    • April 13: 125.0
    • April 14: 125.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 44 calories over goal
    • April 15: 124.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 255 calories over goal
    • April 16: 123.6
    • April 17: 124.0
    • April 18: 123.4
    • April 19: DNW - Out of town
    • April 20: DNW - Out of town
    • April 21: DNW - Out of town
    • April 22: 124.2 So, now that our Pascha (Easter) has come, I am at my real challenge. Which is, to log, even while surrounded by all sorts of lovely high-calorie foods. My goal for the rest of April is to not be too concerned with calories, but to just log as accurately as possible every day.

    • April 28: 126.4. OK! "Bright Week," the week after Pascha, is over. I've been eating all kinds of lovely foods. Now, it's TIME to get back to LOGGING! I can do it!!!! ๐Ÿ’ช I have increased my calorie goal by 300 caloriesโ€ฆ. my goal is to log successfully and gradually reduce back to the original calorie goal.

    Hi All,

    I'm very happy to be joining you all again for April.

    I'm 5'2", working on getting to my goal weight and then staying there. I will tell you all that this month will be different for me. My goal for the month is not really to end up with a loss, but to LOG. In our world, Greek Orthodox Easter (Pascha) is the center of the universe, and there is a lot of feasting. There's a lot of fasting before Pascha, and a lot of feasting afterwards. So when we get to the days and weeks after April 20, I will be continually surrounded by copious amounts of amazing food, and that's great. But I have decided that this year I will continue logging no matter what events are going on in life (until I've been at goal for a little while anyway). My plan is to set my logging to maintenance for the end of April and to just eat at maintenance; even a little over that is OK sometimes, as long as I keep the logging habit.

    • April 1: 124.8
    • April 2: 125.0 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 250 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ
    • April 3: 124.8
    • April 4: 124.4 ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 328 calories under goal ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽŠ I was really surprised to see this result on the scale. I didn't do so great yesterday and thought surely the scale would go up.
    • April 5: 124.6
    • April 6: 125.6
    • April 7: 127.2
    • April 8: 127.0 It seems like if I have a good day, the scale goes down 0.2, but if I have a bad day, the scale goes up 2.5. ๐Ÿ™„ Gotta keep trying.
      • ๐ŸŒธ I logged! 182 calories over goal
