    UGW: 175
    Sept SW: 223.4
    Sept GW: 214

    9/1 - 223.4
    9/2 - 222
    9/3 - 222.4
    9/4 - 221.4 - 10 lbs down since 8/23
    9/5 - 222.6 - UGH!!! I'm really not happy with the scale today since I was really strict with my nutrition yesterday; however, I'm hoping it's bloating due to my monthly visitor coming any day now. I'm still mad tho!
    9/6 - 222.4 - Trying to keep my focus!
    9/7 - 221.8 - I have to figure out something to stop eating that one little bag of Cool Ranch Doritos with 3 oreos at night! Any suggestions for the late night snacker while watching tv??
    9/8 - 222.4 😑
    9/9 - 222.2
    9/10 - 220.4 Wow 😮 But not too shocked because I wasn’t feeling well yesterday so I may have a rebound.
    9/11 - 219.6 Still a sick day but I’ll take it. Feeling better today. Already did a 4 mile walk before 9am today.
    9/12 - 218.4
    9/13 - 219 - 5 more lbs to go to meet Sept GW!
    9/14 - 219.8 - I know it’s a small fluctuation, but I was surprised given the day I had. Guess I did have “sick” weight loss.
    9/15 - 219.2
    9/16 - 220.4 Geez 🙄 I’ve been staying under my calorie and carb goals.
    9/17 - 220.4 Same as a week ago 🙄
    9/18 - 221.2
    9/19 - DNW
    9/20 - 222.1 - Arrived on an Island where I’ll be for the next 2 weeks so it’s going to be tough since I won’t really know how many calories I’m consuming at their restaurants. There is no nutritional information available. It’s so hard being on vacation and not indulging like I used. Hit the gym this morning and felt great to finally do some strength training. The gyms in my city have been closed for a long time so I’ve was previously walking and doing home workouts. Hope I can make some magic happen the last 10 days of the month.

    We all have reasons! Glad that my reminder to myself helped trigger something for you as well.

    My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 54
    MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
    August results: -.6
    August end weight: 134.2
    September starting weight: 135.2
    September goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
    Ultimate goal weight: 128

    9/01- 135.2 / 134.8 trend - up one pound from yesterday. A lot of mindless stress eating last night.
    9/02- 135.2 / 134.8 trend - Pizza last night so sodium was up. Hopefully see a change tomorrow
    9/03- ???? / 134.8 trend - Overslept and didn't step on the scales before I started rushing around.
    9/04- 132.2 / 134.1 trend - Stepped on the scale about a dozen times. Got this number every time but one. Not sure how it happened. Ate ok yesterday, low steps, no work out. I donated blood. Can't imagine that would cause a 2 pound drop. I like the number though!
    9/05- ???? / 134.1 trend - Did not weigh. Away from home. No scale. Spent the day at an amusement/water park. A lot of walking but not the best food. Hoping the two counteract each other.
    9/06- 133.8 / 134.1 trend - Much better than I expected. Yesterday was full of French toast, pizza, fries and ice cream! Wonderful day though.
    9/07 -134.0 / 134.1 trend
    9/08 - 133.6 / 134.0 trend
    9/09 - 136.4 / 134.3 trend - was expected. Mexican restaurant for dinner last night. Over did it. Darn chips! Back on track today and will be working at flushing that added weight off.
    9/10 - 134.8 / 134.4 trend - happy to see the drop
    9/11 - 133.4 / 134.2 trend
    9/12 - DNW - was out of town visiting my daughter in college. Ate out twice today, scales won't be happy
    9/13 - 136.6 / 134.8 trend - Too many meals eaten out this weekend and no tracking. Screwed up my goal this month of tracking everything, every day. Back on track today. Need to be vigilant all week. Festival in town this weekend and it will be tough to stay on track again. Need to fix this weekends damage before going into the next.
    9/14 - 135.8 / 134.9 trend
    9/15 - 134.8 / 134.9 trend - 3+ mile walk last night as well as an upper body dumbbell workout. I was feeling motivated last night. I also did a bit of cleaning. Hope it continues
    9/16 - 135.4 / 135.0 trend - Chinese food last night.
    9/17 - 134.8 / 135.0 trend - up and down, up and down
    9/18 - 133.4 /
    9/19 - DNW
    9/20 - 136.6 / 135.2 trend - weekend was going so well. I managed two long walks and thought I did well on my food, but obviously not. I ended up not logging all weekend. That was my problem. It was a fun town festival weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now it is time to get back on track.

    My name is Anna, Height: 5'4" Age: 40
    September starting weight: 137.5
    September staring waist: 34.5"
    September goal weight: 133.5
    September goal waist: 33.5"
    Ultimate goal: 128 lbs, 32" waist

    I take my waist measurement at the widest place around the love handles/below the belly button. I also do periodic skinfold tests to check my % fat loss, since that's really my goal rather than just scale weight since that doesn't tell the whole story.

    9/01 - 137.5, 34.5" waist, 3 mile run, good eating day
    9/02 - 137.8, 35.25" waist - might be bloated? just going to stick with the plan
    9/6 - 140
    9/7-139.2
    9/8 - 139.2, coming out of a weekend slump, but doing all the motivation things to get back on track.
    9/9 - 139.2
    9/10 - 137.8, 35" waist
    9/11 - 137.2, on a roll!
    9/12 - 137.8
    9/13-138.5 - hoping just bloated
    9/14 - 138.2 - definitely bloated, hoping for a decent drop once it goes away
    9/15 - 138.2 - feeling good this morning, just going to keep doing the things
    9/16 - 138.2 - still feeling good, just waiting for the scale to drop
    9/17 - 138.2 - starting to get sick of this number, maybe tomorrow will be a breakthrough
    9/20 - 140.2 - post-weekend bloating.

    Hi all
    I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
    I gained a bit of weight in June and July, even more in August, which I started at 132.9. My goal is to get that off and beyond.
    Before that I averaged a 1 pound weight loss each month throughout this journey.
    MFP start weight October 2018: 191
    UGW 112-ish

    Wednesday 9/1 - 134.0 - Looking forward to lots of Autumn walks in nature
    9/2 - 133.9
    9/3 - 135.3 - Self-induced, indulgence.
    9/4 - 135.8
    9/5 - 136.3 - Way too high. Possibly still climbing from one indulgent day.
    9/6 - 135.5 - Right direction, but it never feels good to be above the start weight.
    9/7 - 135.2
    9/8 - 135.1
    9/9 - 134.1 - Late dinners from long workdays the last couple, but burned a crapload of calories on my feet waitressing
    9/10 - 133.7 -Ditto to yesterday, burned a lot, but ate dinner late.
    9/11 - 134.1 - I see that I put the wrong number in yesterday, fixed it. Day off today, plan on being active.
    9/12 - DNW - Up at 3am drinking water and then coffee. Didn't bother weighing.
    9/13 - 137.8 - Wow, that is really high! I haven't seen this number since last November. Nobody said that this would be easy, but I am hoping that is is a temporary blip.
    9/14 - 134.7
    9/15 - 133.9 - 2 more workdays until my mini vacay
    9/16 - 134.4 - Yes, it was a typo yesterday, fixed it. Thanks @deepwoodslady
    9/17 - 132.9 - Travelled right after work yesterday, hit construction for a standstill, and stopped a couple of times. I woke up too early considering how late it was once I went to bed. Not sure how long I am staying, the province that I am now in begins indoor restrictions on Monday, and that might impact public skating, which I am here to do. Skating today at noon : - )
    9/18 - 131.8 - Skated yesterday in Canmore Alberta : - )
    9/19 - 132.1 - I really overdid it activity-wise yesterday, hiking and then skating. Woke up at 5am still tired, but couldn't go back to sleep. Driving day today.
    9/20 - 132.8 - My birthday - Down 7.3 pounds since my 60th birthday, so I'll take it : - )

    Oh my gosh, do tell!! What island? Where? Vacay?
    Plug what you eat into MFP anyway, there are surprisingly many restaurant meals already in the data base.

    Photos of the island please!

    @dawnbgethealthy Happy Birthday!!! I’m in Phuket, Thailand. I’ve been here so many times that I actually haven’t taken one picture of the scenery on this trip. You just reminded me to appreciate where I am!! Thank you for that.

    Woah, time got away from me here. I had to go to a funeral for my great aunt, so I have been busy. My last weigh in was on the 15th. I weighed 220.8 lbs. On the 8th, I weighed 221.1. Today is my birthday and all I did was eat a cake pop instead of a bowl of ice cream. Trying not to overdo it even though it's my birthday. Here is to another week where I can hopefully lose more!

    Happy birthday fellow Virgo!!

    145320379.png

    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.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from August 31): 186.8
    Goal Weight: 181.8 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual End of Challenge Weight on Sept 30, 2021:


    09/01 –[/color=orchid…..182.8(Trend Weight: 187.8)…..I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and ½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

    09/02 -…..185.2(Trend Weight: 187.5)…..This weight is probably more accurate, even after travel. I was very suspicious of the scale reading yesterday. It may have been real because my scale is very reliable, but was likely a temporary lower fluctuation or fluke. Traveling again today with a friend for her medical appointment. It is a longer trip and I will likely be home late. Hopefully before dark though (deer at night). I will be counting my Sunday weight as my true weight. That puts all travel behind me and allows for a day or two to shed water retention from travels. Plenty of more travel next week and the week after due to all the cancer checks and scans that became necessary after my yearly mamm exam. I also fit many appointments in the fall to avoid too much winter driving since all the specialists and hospitals I see are so far from my rural home. That leaves both spring and fall full of travel but better than icy roads and snow for those distances!

    09/03 -…..187.5(Trend Weight: 187.7)…..Yikes. This travel really hurt! Back home and on track today. New cement being poured for new steps from the top of my hill at my house down to the road (my mailbox). Exciting day. I’ll stay on track and reverse this temporary damage. Staying positive here!

    09/04 -…..187.5(Trend Weight: 187.8)….. Yesterday I found out that my ex-sister-in-law that I’ve known for 46 years died of Covid in South Carolina. She was fully vaccinated and had just turned 64. She was immuno-compromised. Her daughter found her unresponsive in her home (she lived alone). She was alive, but was later determined to be brain dead. She was lucky enough to get a ventilator for a short time since they are scarce, but she was taken off all life support measures when it was determined she would never wake up and never go home. Please, even if vaccinated, mask up in those highly public places. More people love you and don’t want to lose you than you even realize. I spent all evening and night eating my emotions and moving into the 2nd phase of grief = anger. I am surprised the scale didn’t go up. Today I will try hard to be more mindful. The food binges changes nothing.

    09/05 -…..188.2(Trend Weight: 187.8)….. I was slightly in the green until about 1:00 AM. I then ate 400 calories more which put me over. Part emotional eating and part hunger. My mind is so cluttered with the death of my sister-in-law, my own health problems and my extensive renovations (that are taking way too long) that I just am not planning as well as I should be. I could have walked more yesterday as I had some extra time and freedom to leave the house but I didn’t. My day was filled with phone calls and texts in regards to the death. I could have walked along the yard while I talked but I didn’t. I felt like I had been wrung out like a wet rag. BBQ today for Labor Day with family. I can’t make any promises…..

    09/06 -…..187.2(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I had an extra low calorie day yesterday and managed to fit in some extra movement. It payed off.

    09/07 -…..187.6(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I did well with the diet and stayed in the green with my calories. However, absolutely no exercise whatsoever due to heavy schedule. Exercise/movement would have made the difference!

    09/08 -…..188.8 (Trend Weight 187.9)…..I caved in to my emotional eating. And now, today, I travel for my CT scans. Restaurants and lots of inactivity. I am worried what tomorrow’s scale reading may be. I may skip the weighing until day after tomorrow to give myself a chance to recoup. I just don’t need anything else on my plate right now. Well man is coming in the morning so that is good news at least.

    09/10 –…..DNW…..CT scans under my belt. Now, to wait on those results. Truly, I am way more nervous about the long trip back down to the cancer center on the 16th for the breast cancer issues. These scans just feel like another wrench thrown in. I had to stop my diabetes meds on Wed night before the scans and will begin taking them again Sunday morning. In the meantime, I really need to watch my food choices as my glucose already runs dangerously high. I’ll have to cut back on the carbs drastically. Hungry already after yesterday’s splurges. That is how it usually works. My body liked it, now it wants a repeat. Sorry body, today is my day, not yours!

    09/11 -…..189.(Trend Weight 188.3)…..CT Scan results came up good. Liver lesions are cysts that look okay. Lung nodule has grown again, however, they still feel it is not growing fast enough in comparison to all scans since 2019 to merit an invasive biopsy or to call it cancer. They will have me rescan at a later date to see if it remains stable. Whew! The big worry, of course, is the breast cancer in remission and some of the complications I am having at the surgical site. I’ll know more after the 9-16 appointment. Well company never showed up, never called and cancelled, and no sign of him today. This is frustrating! I’m going to try to take an easy day today but I do want to get in more simple movements in small increments that will add up.

    09/12 -…..188.4(Trend Weight 188.3)…..I ended up skipping that relaxing easy day yesterday and opted instead to start of a huge endeavor. Taking windows apart upstairs and cleaning them out by the hose outside. Up & down stairs. Fitbit counted 144 flights of stairs! I have many to go and will try to coordinate it better today but I am happy it helped my scale today!
    09/13 -…..189.0(Trend Weight 188.4)…..This weight is how it looks when you are up cooking at 1:00 AM after logging out of MFP. I burned a ton of extra calories the last two day and my body was starving and screaming for calories. More windows to clean today, I’ll have to plan better.

    09/14 -…..187.6 (Trend Weight 188.3)…..The easier half of the main floor windows and frames are scrubbed, windexed and re-installed. The harder half may have to wait. Thunderstorms today and the scrubbing is being down outside by the hose and bucket of soapy water. I will have to get creative today for movement. Workers will be here – no privacy again.

    09/15 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 188.0)…..Finally all this window cleaning is paying off. TMI helped too. More window work is likely today. I have several more windows to finish on the main floor, then I do the basement windows and storms. Travel tomorrow to the cancer center to find out about the breast issues. My posts may be late tomorrow night. My weight will be up on Friday but should be stable by Sunday if I keep my nose clean!

    09/16 -…..185.2 (Trend Weight 187.8)….. A good day yesterday. More windows cleaned and I’m almost done with that calorie burning project. Travel today. 09/17 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.6)…..I’ll be required to have a 5 cm incision to surgically excise the rest of the skin anomolly within the next month. I am waiting for scheduling to call. They will test it for cancer and pathology will let us know. In the meantime, the appointment worked out good. I was really afraid they were going to try and remove the rest of the breast. The drive was 4 hours each way. My friend chose the restaurant – Golden Corral – which is, of course an all-you-can-eat buffet. I tried to stay reasonable but just the aroma alone was over my 1400 calorie limit so I am happy with only a one pound gain. Still trending down.

    09/18 -…..187.8 (Trend Weight 187.8)…..Well, I guess that is the rest of the uptick I expected after the travel and dinner out. I knew only a one pound gain wasn’t right because that’s just not how my body works! Many different types of repairmen are coming today and even a real estate agent to discuss a nearby strip of land I would love to acquire that ajoins my property. Busy, busy, but I hope to fit in a small walk or two if possible.

    09/19 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.5)….. So looking back over the month so far, I see that I have been battling up & down the same couple of pounds. So to have this back down by 1.6 doesn’t really impress me unless it sticks! I know how the death and the medical appointments, travels and scares have affected me. But it is time to move on and not let anything stand in the way of what I need for my own health. I feel like I am at a turning point today. I am inspired by all of you! @Lilylady3k I love your reminder which also serves me as well:
    "REMINDER:
    Why I want to get in shape
    * Better health
    * More active & outgoing
    * I'll look better in pictures
    * Not always biggest person in room
    * Fun shopping for clothes
    * Example for my adult kids
    * Live longer & enjoy those years more

    09/20 -…..185.2 (Trend Weight 187.3)….. Very low activity and movement yesterday but portion control payed off. Dreaming of the 170’s. I love to be firmly planted in them (177 point anything) by Halloween!

    09/21 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 187.1)…..Well, on one hand I’m trending down. However, the scale is up and I’m a bit surprised. My fitbit was down all day yesterday and I finally had to reset it as if it was new to get it working. I had slept funny on the button and totally drained the battery and messed it up. I know that yesterday was hardly any activity as I had the handyman with his family and also the drywall finisher and it rained most of the day. However, I kept diet good so I guess I can blame the uptick on the lack of activity. More rain today but it is supposed to be clear tomorrow. Then rain again on Thursday. The trees are stocking up for winter…..
