@Beka3695 That's awesome! I'm actually in Northern California, so sadly you probably won't see me any races in your area. That's not to say never though -- I've been wanting to do some destination runs!0

Hi everyone! I am Pam. I live in the Midwest of the US, but was born and raised in Washington State.
This is my 2nd go-around on MFP. I had some success 2 years ago but wasn't ready to put in the work. But my diabetes reared its ugly head and my doctor put the fear into me this year. So I am losing weight for my health this time, instead of for my appearance (however, I may be 60, but still want to look good!)
I have been with Shrinking Assets since June. Love this group, the support and encouragement, and being accountable. I follow a 1,425 calorie, lower sodium diet.
Stats:
5'4" and age 60.
Starting weight 264.5 (Feb 2019)
Current weight: 234 (02 Sep 2019)
Goal weight: 195 (then re-evaluate)
September Goals:
1. Log all my food
2. Drink my water
3. Get back with my elliptical trainer (I have been slacking). Start with 3x weekly at 20 minutes activity.
Welcome to all new members! Wishing you all the best as we work towards our health journeys.1 -
My Monday weigh-in:
Previous week: 234.5
Current weight: 234
This was the first week since I began my program back in February that I actually followed my plan exactly for the entire week. I was 'perfect'. Yet, sigh, 'only' 1/2 pound lost this week. After my huge weight last of 6 pounds last week, I TOLD myself that I may very likely have little to no weight loss this week. And that is precisely what happened.
Interesting how quickly I lose patience, always wanting to see the numbers going down on the scale. And I admit, sometimes I worry when the numbers don't go down, asking myself, am I bottoming out on my weight loss? Trust the process, Pam, trust the process. I grocery shop tomorrow and will work hard to be smart about my choices.
Oh, my September goal. I so dearly want to end September below 230. I am still Category 3 Obese, and 229 pounds will finally get me to Category 2 Obese, plus into a new 'decade' of the 220's. I will strive for 229 and do my best. That is all we can ask of ourselves.3 -
Meal prepping. Here's sausage for breakfast and bacon for my salads

@Pamela_Sue the scales can play mind games sometimes, but, seriously? 6.5lbs in two weeks is AMAZING!
Dont let the mind games win, keep sound what you are doing because you are awesome!2 -

@kilobykilo Thanks so much for the positive words. Yes, I was on fire for August, after an overall weight gain in July. A lot of water weight and much hard work. It is the week-to-week that is sometimes difficult. Oh, me of little patience!1

Oh my goodness!!! Is this long weekend almost over???
I must confess.... I have regressed this weekend. I have not tracked accurately, but I am back on track for tomorrow.
I have prepped breakfast and made lunch for tomorrow.
My grilled chicken looks and smells delicious.
I have guests most all day today. At one point I found myself grazing on chips/crisps. I know that I’ve gone over, but starting NOW I am back in control. September has 30 days. Just because I over indulged the first two doesn’t mean the whole month is ruined!!!4 -
