    July Starting Weight: 141.4
    July Goal Weight: 137

    7/1: 141.4
    7/2: 140.8
    7/3: 140.8
    7/4: 141
    7/5: 140.8
    7/6: 140.8 This is getting silly!
    7/7: 140.8 This is the most stuckest I’ve ever been. There better be a big whoosh after this!
    Week 1 Loss: -0.6

    7/8: 140.8 This is impossible. Not even a wiggle!
    7/9: 141 Well at least its different haha!
    7/10: 140 About time!!
    7/11: 139.4 New decade!
    7/12: 139.8
    7/13: 139
    7/14: 139.8 I ate dinner later than usual, may be the reason for this little bump. I was within my calorie limit.
    Week 2 Loss: -0.6

    7/15: 140.2 For the past week or so, when I ate over 1100 calories, I gained the next day. So I'm gonna stay under 1100 for the foreseeable future, except for special occasions. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday and a family reunion the next Saturday, so there will be some significant face stuffage then.
    7/16: 140
    7/17: 141.6 Had a fairly hefty dinner last night, so this is mostly sodium and actual weight of the food, which is still with me.
    7/18: 141

    July starting weight: 184.8
    July goal: 182

    7/1 - 184.8 a new "low" on this journey down. A little scary starting the month with a low as I bounce up and down many times during the month.
    7/2 - 185.2 slight bounce up, but it's ok. Fireworks tonight!
    7/3 -
    7/4 - 187.0

    7/5 - 188.0 ugh daily jumps but back on track today. It's fluid retention but it'll still take all week to shed.
    7/6 - 187.0 off to the Y today for a run and some weight machines. I think dinner is going to be a hunk of meat and a veg.
    7/7 - 186.2 my silly scale gave me 185.2 2x, then on the 3rd jumped up a pound and stayed there for 2 more times. So I'm going with the higher even though I liked the first number much better. I go with whatever number displays 3x, first lol. No run yesterday, the lovely FL hurricane is affecting air pressure, which bothers my 4 and 6 year old fractures in my left foot and leg...didn't even know I hurt until I tried running. I did walk though, and used the rowing machine. Will walk again today, either on the treadmill or outside if it doesn't rain.
    7/8 - 185.4 didn't walk yesterday, worked too late. Still struggling with putting myself higher on the priority list. Raining today, still achy...
    7/9 - 185.4 I'll take it as a win today. TGIF!!
    7/10 - 185.4 at least I'm being consistent and not bouncing lol Happy weekend!!
    7/11 - 187.0 guess I got slapped for yesterday's comment lol

    7/12 - 187.2 ok, gotta control weekends. I have a work conference in mid-September and none of my work clothes fit! I have a deadline and need a solid loss.
    7/13 - 186.6 got a run in last night, planning on the Y today
    7/14 - 186.0 planning a walk today, either outside or inside if it rains. So over all the rain...10 days of it and it makes my old bone breaks hurt.
    7/15 - 186.6 no idea why I'm up today but didn't walk yesterday. It's a new day!
    7/16 - 187.6 up again...yesterday I ran and weights at the Y, good food. Whatever.
    7/17 - 189.6 yup, I glutened myself and it wasn't as good as I had imagined
    7/18 - 188.8 still feeling bloated and a lot of water retention from the gluten Friday, but it's starting to leave. Y today for another run.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.


    Starting Weight (from June 30th): 196.4
    Goal: 191.4 (Five lb Loss):
    Ending Weight for Challenge:

    07/01 – 197.6 After a tummy illness which produced a false low weight, I think this is likely my true current weight. I did very well for an old gal in June. I hope to keep up the progress in July. Let’s make it happen my friends!
    07/02 - 198.6 My son’s birthday was yesterday. High calorie celebrations. Today I will be very careful as I have a very long trip tomorrow and there will be multiple meals out. Gotta get past this madness!
    07/03 - 197.8 I did pretty well yesterday and increased my movement a bit. Travel today. I expect the scale will be up tomorrow, but it will be temporary.
    07/04 - 199.2 I expected this after a very long day of travel. I am really going to have to make some selective choices and watch my quantities today to keep the scale in Onederland. Today is a food-driven American Holiday so I must really tip-toe today but I know I can do it. Happy Independence Day to all my American Friends.
    07/05 - 198.0 Okay then. Now I’m glad I kept the calories low on my 4th of July holiday! It pays off! Lots of stresses this week. Very big ones that is so bad I can barely sleep. By Friday all should be resolved. Praying for strength to stay the course until then.
    07/06 - 197.4 Busy day yesterday with lots of visitors so I didn’t get in any extra movement. Glad to see the scale down anyway. Today I travel and lunch will be Thai food. One of my all-time favorites and such a treat that the town I am going to has a Chinese-Thai restaurant. Scale may swell up from it in the coming days but I know the bloat will only be temporary so I am not going to sweat the small or the temporary. I can live my life and still be victorious. Setbacks make my journey a little longer, that’s all.
    07/07 - 198.0 Travel weight and restaurant lunch showing up on the scale this morning. Tonight will be leftovers so it may affect the scale tomorrow too. I plan on making adjustments to the overall day to make up for it. It rained all night and will be raining all day so outdoors are a no-go. Expecting a worker here today anyway. I will try to use my stairs to get in some steps with extra effort.
    07/08 - 198.4 Uptick due to the leftovers from the Thai restaurant. Temporary weight. I’m not worried. I’ll pee it out LOL.
    07/09 – 196.6 It has been about 9 days since I was down to this approximate weight (June 30th). Finally all my travel weight, the restaurants, the car sitting is receding. Huge stresses this week also that only happen once or twice in a lifetime. Got through them without signing myself into the looney bin. I can’t say that it was completely successful, but just that it is over puts me back in the functional category. Finally 5 hours of sleep instead of 2 or 3 all week!
    07/10 – 197.6 Ouch! I’m not sure what happened. I took a short walk yesterday. My calories were not too bad but I did have some ice cream that was not sugar free. My bad. I’ll make today better.
    07/11 - 197.6 Calories were okay yesterday but the choices were questionable. I am going to work today at better healthier meals. I’ve got to stop being lazy about cooking. Sometimes I just don’t feel like messing up the kitchen! My workers didn’t leave until 9:00 PM. They will be back today.
    07/12 - 195.8 I think I am going to be in a good mood all day. I haven’t been this low in quite some time. Goodbye Covid-19 pounds!
    07/13 - 195.2 I got pretty hungry last night. I realized my calories for the day were still a bit low. Canned Organic Tomato Basil soup did the trick. It fit within my calorie budget and the liquid aspect of it filled my belly. High sodium though so I’m glad to not see a jump on the scale (especially since I ate it so late). Hopefully, with extra water, there will be no impact upcoming.
    07/14 - 196.0 Too much sodium lately. Last night my calories were a bit up at about 1550. My bad snack consisted of peanut butter filled pretzels with that big chunky salt on them. The day before was canned soup which usually makes me retain water. Today is a trip to the dairy queen with son & his friend. I must be reasonable with the DQ lunch and work it off later. Workers will be here later this afternoon so my privacy will be affected. I’ll walk in the yard, and also use my indoor steps to get in some form of workout.
    07/15 - 196.8 Dairy Queen yesterday. No TMI x 2 days. Recipes for disaster overall. Today is the day I make a step in the right direction again. I just hope my body cooperates by working properly. Time to pull out the cleanse tea.
    07/16 - 195.6 Much better. Lost some of that water retention finally. Clease tea helped a little, not a lot. I will work on more steps today, I was only at 9000+ yesterday and I want to hit my 10,000 daily. No excuses when the weather is nice and not raining. Even if I have to get them in my yard!
    07/17 - 195.4 Sometimes progress is in leaps & bounds. Sometimes in slow Chinese torture type drips. I’ll take progress any way I can get it. Feeling more fit today which is also a plus!
    07/18 - 194.8 I had a great day yesterday. I logged food for the first time in 1 ½ years (pre-Covid). I felt ready to face my choices in my food and exercise. I see this as further venturing into my journey, deep into the woods of the unknown. Time to face my demons!

    Dearest @Chalmation,
    A diet so low in calories could be dangerous!
    I've read that sometimes we stop loosing weight because consuming such few calories can put our bodies into starvation mode.
    Have you checked the science behind the Zig Zag diet to jumpstart weight loss after a plateau? There are also Zig Zag diet calculators out there.
    With much respect and care,
    -A

    Starvation mode is a myth. We're fat, we're not starving haha!
    I don't do diets that have names. CICO for me!!
    I think my issue is that I am close to my normal weight range and loss can slow down at that point. Also, well, for several days at a time what goes in, doesn't come out.

    I agree with you on this one @Chalmation
    I did take a look at it, not too far from how we normally eat, more some days, less on others.
    I appreciate the people that have decided to eliminate entire food groups and have lost weight. Paleo, Keto etc., but for me that is not long term sustainable.
    To me it is all about a lifestyle and eating habits/choices changes Increased exercise is just good for everybody whether trying to lose weight or not.
    Calories in, calories out.

    @deepwoodslady
    I didn't realize that you hadn't been logging into MFP!!
    Bravo to you for having lost weight without doing that!
    You may see dramatic results now.
    Tracking is everything!

    7/6 - 187.0 off to the Y today for a run and some weight machines. I think dinner is going to be a hunk of meat and a veg.
    7/7 - 186.2 my silly scale gave me 185.2 2x, then on the 3rd jumped up a pound and stayed there for 2 more times. So I'm going with the higher even though I liked the first number much better. I go with whatever number displays 3x, first lol. No run yesterday, the lovely FL hurricane is affecting air pressure, which bothers my 4 and 6 year old fractures in my left foot and leg...didn't even know I hurt until I tried running. I did walk though, and used the rowing machine. Will walk again today, either on the treadmill or outside if it doesn't rain.
    7/8 - 185.4 didn't walk yesterday, worked too late. Still struggling with putting myself higher on the priority list. Raining today, still achy...
    7/9 - 185.4 I'll take it as a win today. TGIF!!
    7/10 - 185.4 at least I'm being consistent and not bouncing lol Happy weekend!!
    7/11 - 187.0 guess I got slapped for yesterday's comment lol

    7/14 - 186.0 planning a walk today, either outside or inside if it rains. So over all the rain...10 days of it and it makes my old bone breaks hurt.
    7/15 - 186.6 no idea why I'm up today but didn't walk yesterday. It's a new day!
    7/16 - 187.6 up again...yesterday I ran and weights at the Y, good food. Whatever.
    7/17 - 189.6 yup, I glutened myself and it wasn't as good as I had imagined
    7/18 - 188.8 still feeling bloated and a lot of water retention from the gluten Friday, but it's starting to leave. Y today for another run.

    7/19 - 188.4 still working back from gluten...takes so long. I have to admit that I don't log my food very often. I've been inspired by some comments yesterday and have prelogged my day. Will comment here so hold me to it!
