Welcome Ann!
Weβre glad youβre here. β€οΈ
I did the WW program back before I had kidsβ¦ 24 years agoβ¦ and got down to 145β¦ but I stopped tracking and watching what I ateβ¦ then babiesβ¦ then boom I was up to 234 pounds. Now Iβm at 213.7 and slowly and steadily losing by logging and weighing everyday and trying to get 7,000 or more steps a day.

Well, at least it's down a little. The voices in my head are gleefully informing me what a loser I am... and not in a good way. Hopefully those numbers will keep going down and I will actually be a "good" loser.
Have a great week, y'all. (Can you believe it's the middle of the month already???? Hallowe'en is only 47 days away!)1 -

Ignore the voices. They tend to be too harsh, focusing on the ultimate goal, and forget to celebrate the progress along the way. Many high fives and applauds to you for tipping the scale in the other direction. πππππ1 -
Hey Everyone!
Hope you are celebrating the big and small wins this week. π
Goal for December 31st, 2021: 275lbs
08/18/21: 312
08/25/21: 308
09/01/21: 304.2
09/08/21: 300.2
09/15/21: 305.4
Not the direction I hoped to go in, but I am not shocked by it either. I've been overwhelmed with this home improvement project for the past couple of weeks. I've been totally off my routine. My goal is to get back on track by this weekend. π€2 -

Height: 5'5"
Before birth: 182 lbs
SW: 169 lbs
GW by end of year: 140lbs
GW in general: 130 lbs
Check-ins:
April 28, 2021 (1 month pp): 169 lbs
May 7, 2021 (6wks pp): 163 lbs
May 25 check-in(~2months pp): 160 lbs
June 4 check-in: 157 lbs
June 15 check-in: 157.2 lbs π₯³ family
June 26 check-in: 153.3 lbs
July 6 check-in: 155 lbs
(July 12 check-in: 155.2 lbs)
July 20 check-in: 154.3 lbs
July 29 check-in: 153 lbs
Aug 19 check-in: 151 lbs
Sept 19 check-in: 149.6 lbs (a healthy BMI!)
It's been an entire month since I last posted. And I'm pleasantly surprised that I lost 1.4lbs because I've eaten many, many chocolate bars this past month (I call them my emergency chocolate). The manager of the apartment finally came by to check on the state of affairs... And immediately evacuated us due to health concerns(and, frankly legal concerns). So almost everything is out of the apartment and in storage, while husband, I, and lovebug are staying at our friends' house until mid-October. God bless beautiful friends because staying in a hotel for 6 weeks would have been dreadful.
In mid-October we expect to close on our first house! π‘
If I can manage to stay on top of not overeating and throw in some exercise, my end of year goal is still in sight. Barely but still there. That said, I honestly think I'll be pretty pleased if I at least hit 145 instead of 140 due to all the extra stress. Usually during stressful periods, I gain weight pretty quickly so a slow loss is a welcome change of pace.1 -

I hope this isn't a fluke. I'm running again. And, believe you me, I am using that word very loosely. I only go out once a week. This week, I ran/walked just shy of 7 miles on Saturday and rode my bike for 10.5 miles or so on Sunday. I really, truly need to start doing something during the week. But, I'm doing something right, eh?
Have a good week y'all.2 -

I like what you're doing here, Jill. I may steal it for October and see how it goes.
I know that I've put on at least 5 pounds since I weighed in last week. We'll see how it looks in the morning. It was a *kitten* week. Monday morning, a hole and leak in the hallway. Monday night at the ER with my daughter. Tuesday was meh... daughter had to go back to ER ("prescribed" visit for an ultrasound so she wouldn't have to pay for a second visit). Wednesday she had an endoscopy. Thursday, the maintenance people came about the hole and leak and it was discovered there was a worse leak over one of my daughter's closets and a good portion of the dresses in there were soaked, one is probably ruined beyond repair, and her skating competition tapes were soaked and podium photographs were damaged. She had a meltdown. Go figure. Friday, I was exposed to COVID. I'm vaccinated and most of the time we were at least 6' apart and masked. She did remove her mask for a short time, but again, 6' apart. However, when the hearing was over, she and I left the courtroom and rode the elevator together. CDC says I don't have to quarantine, but do have to wear my mask continuously, and should be tested 3-5 days after exposure. So, I'm going to check into testing tomorrow at lunch time. Sadly, I'm still an emotional/stress eater and, yeah, I ate. And I haven't done any real exercise in a week. Blah. I know I keep saying this, but I really need to get my head out of my @$$ and get back on track. Maybe October will be my month.1 -

Not quite three pounds up. Better than I thought, actually. Endoscopy results showed gastritis, which they biopsied, and, luckily, that came back from the lab, it was negative for stomach cancer. Still waiting on the results from the ultrasound. I suspect that since we haven't heard anything, that was probably negative for everything they were looking for.
Tested negative this morning. That's a relief to me. Onwards and upwards (well, hopefully downwards on the scale).2 -

October 2 - 181.9 - down 1.5 from yesterday. Hmmm.... I sometimes doubt the veracity and accuracy of my scale, but we'll see. Tomorrow will probably be a wash - I'm going to the Diamondbacks/Rockies game with my daughter the teacher (she's one of several getting an award from the D'Backs as a "Most Valued Teacher" and will be awarded $1000 to use in her classroom for STEM supplies, I think she said). It will be my first MLB game ever, although I used to go to the AAA games all the time when I was in Jr. High. Anyways, we'll be eating at the ballpark, probably.

πββ¬ π October Daily Log & Weigh in Challenge ππββ¬
Highest Weight: Somewhere between 227-230... I don't know. I avoided the scale.
Return to MFP after ~ 5-6 year absence (June 11, 2020) = 216.9
Starting weight for this challenge (January 1, 2021) = 186.8
Current Weight (October 1, 2021) = 183.4
GOALS:
β Meet all the goals for the UAC challenge I'm also doing:
π - Exercise at least 20 minutes per day
π - Track everything I eat/drink
π₯ - Stay within my calorie goal (according to MFP 1247/day)
β Tracking on this challenge only:
ππ»ββοΈ Complete Week Three of C25k consistently (yes, it takes me a month to do a week)
π΄π»ββοΈ Get more bike time in
πβ Make sure I get some "me time" each day
βοΈ Lose 3-5 pounds and keep it off instead of bouncing around like a pogo stick
π₯€ Up my water consumption (H2O)/lower soda consumption (Diet Dr. Pepper)
October Weight lost so far: βοΈ =-1.8 lbs.October 1- 183.4 - I'm up 2.4 lbs since yesterday. I've been losing and gaining the same 5-7 pounds since I started this challenge. Over calories today, but

October 2 - 181.9 - down 1.5 from yesterday. Hmmm.... I sometimes doubt the veracity and accuracy of my scale, but we'll see. Tomorrow will probably be a wash - I'm going to the Diamondbacks/Rockies game with my daughter the teacher (she's one of several getting an award from the D'Backs as a "Most Valued Teacher" and will be awarded $1000 to use in her classroom for STEM supplies, I think she said). It will be my first MLB game ever, although I used to go to the AAA games all the time when I was in Jr. High. Anyways, we'll be eating at the ballpark, probably.
π -(78 minutes bike ride; 10 minute dog potty walk)

π₯ -(1426/1784 - had to go into exercise calories, but still not too bad)

π΄π»ββοΈ -(13 miles)
πβ -(my bike ride is time for me to not think about the problems in my life. In fact, I can't even tell you what I *did* think about... My mind just wandered the whole ride. I plan to do some "mindfulness" stuff on my phone later tonight, but even if I don't get that done, the bike ride worked.)
π₯€(26 oz / ~60 oz -- yeah, water is a problem... LOL)
October 3 - 181.6 - down 0.3 from yesterday, but will go up tomorrow because McDonald's for breakfast, ball field pizza for lunch, and Carl's Jr for dinner. I expect to be up by a couple of pounds, if not tomorrow than within a couple of days. Still, no regrets, I had fun with my daughter.
