    Hello everyone,
    I'm Kitty and I am 57,. I have struggled with my weight, my whole life, accumulating a grand mass of a little over 400 lbs. and then I was able to reach 350 lbs. I stayed at this weight for a while, and when I got down to 288 lbs I finally decided to join mfp in the hopes that with a group of others for support, I could finally reach my ultimate goal weight of 197 lbs.

    Well I have decided to not wait until Oct. 1st to start my new workouts ... today I will start with Zumba and tomorrow will be the 1st day I have ever tried Yoga (I bought beginners yoga DVD's from Amazon last year and have yet tried them ...I will also be walking outside ...I am back up 3 lbs as of this morning ...I am not going to let it frustrate me like it has done in the past ... I walked a lot yesterday and drank a lot of water yesterday ... I know I am doing things right so I will continue to do my thing :)

    Steps:
    9/25 1,403
    9/26 2,891
    9/27 3,291

    Had surgery on my toe last week- so not a lot of walking around. I'm hoping it will be all back to normal soon. My butt is numb from sitting on the couch all weekend😉.

    Did not care for the Zumba I did today so I will be going back to my Country Zumba ....The Zumba I did today was only 30 minutes so I ended up doing my hour aerobics with Richard Simmons ...I am still sore from my lonnng walk yesterday but I got it done (barely) LOL

    I am up 0.8 since weigh-in on Friday but this seems to be my norm. Hopefully, the scale will start showing a loss starting tomorrow.

    Steps were low yesterday but I got a bike ride in so I’m happy with my overall activity.

    You are doing well ... I am sure you will lose it by Friday :) My scale showed a 3 lb gain this morning but I am not going to get frustrated because I am doing everything right aka weighing everything food wise... working out etc. eventually my body will cooperate ..I just need to work on being patient :)

    Daily post September 27
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Steps 1348

    I don't think my steps have been that low since the beginning of the challenge. We went to my parents house and watched football/played cards and I hardly moved. At least my eating was on point. And now I'm off to take a walk!

    Weigh in Day is Monday

    This week
    PW: 217 pounds
    CW: 212 pounds
    LOSS: 5 pounds... okay back where I was, now to continue down the scale the correct way.
    I did change my incline on the treadmill which increases my calories burned, which I am loving.

    Goal: 2000 steps- today 8905 steps

    The habit tracker? I am so confused, where is the rest of Sept. I don't even see mine listed there any longer and it starts on October 4?
