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.

9/7 - 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??

@LuckiS32 I know they are not the healthiest of choices. Sweet could be replaced with fruit, applesauce, yogurt. Salty could be replaced with nuts, seeds etc. However, I don't see that it is hurting your weight loss efforts. Adding them back in after you reach goal could lead to a gain. Keeping them in and incorporating the things you love isn't a bad plan. You are using the pre-portioned sized chips which is smart. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the things you love if you do them responsibly (in my opinion).

I agree with Donna. They are a 100 calorie pack. I would just cut 50 calories from each of 2 meals and still enjoy the snack. This has to be sustainable long term, we still need to eat things that we like.

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

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.

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!

June starting weight: 121.5
July starting weight: 120.3
August starting weight: 122.8
September starting weight: 120.9
September goal: < 119
Ultimate goal: 112

Still trying to get under 120 and stay there. At current weight and eating at 1200-1400 calories I'm aiming for a loss of .5lbs per week which should take me under 120. I'm not planning any trips this month so that should make it easier.

01 - 120.9
02 - ?
03 - 121.3
04 - ?
05 - DNW (I knew it would be bad after Saturday's dinner)
06 - ?
07 - 122.6

I need to keep a better eye on my scale app as it's not consistently recording the weight lately. On Saturday we had friends over for dinner so I completely overate between pasta, bread and appetizers. Plus a lot of wine. We had leftovers on Sunday night which didn't help matters. Pasta always makes me gain. Starting today I'm back to minimal dairy/grains, no alcohol and more vegetables.

08 - 121.0 What a difference a day makes

Hi,
I'm just returning to MFP after a while out.

I was a keen runner until I suffered with a knee miniscus injury in April last year and had surgery this year.
Since my knee injury my comfort eating has gotten out of control. Add that to not being able to run and my weight has gone up 35lbs.

So I'm looking for support and I'm hoping you dont mind me joining in.

Starting Weight: 220
Overal Goal Weight: 180
September Goal: Anything except up!

My first thought would be to get it out of the house, but that's often not possible. Maybe try substituting the chips and cookies for something else that's crunchy, like an apple dipped in yogurt or a little pb; veg dipped in hummus. I think you're looking for the crunch and the "snack" motion.

I adore crunch and chew, and finally have had to just tell myself I can't have anything I have to chew after dinner is over. Because what I do is just have 150 of this and 100 of that and 80 of the other and....yeah. Apparently drinking hot chai with cream or a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream doesn't set me off on the great snack binge.

One of my favorite things is a chai tea bag steeped in hot almond milk with a little vanilla extract and sweetener. It's sweet and satisfying.

Nikki, 52 years old, 5'6"
WL history: ups and downs for years
Exercise: Y workout 3x/week, walk with or without the dogs 5x/week
Goal: truly give up gluten and avoid it (not allergic, just pick up many pounds of fluid for days)
Goal: put myself on the things-to-do list, and the take-care-of list
Goal: lose it and maintain it
Goal weight: 140


9/1 - 191.4 (result of gluten)
9/2 - 189.4 85min walk last night w/ a Hallmark movie, today planning on a Y workout
9/3 - 188.0 last night's workout felt good, it's been too long. Pounding water today to keep flushing things thru. Planning a lunch walk w/ the dogs.
9/4 - weighed but forgot to log, and now I don't remember lol
9/5 - 188.4

9/6 - 189.4
9/7 - 189.8 lovely walk yesterday while watching a Hallmark movie. Youngest son is getting tested for covid today, he's not feeling well and his close co-worker was confirmed yesterday. Which is really upsetting me because I'm supposed to go to a work conference and fly out next Friday. Obviously if he's positive I'm not going. Also, I'm coming to the realization that I'm not actually trying to lose weight. I typically focus during the week and then make bad food choices every weekend. I'm actually in maintenance, and the scale shows it. So if he's not sick and I go to the conference, then I have a new game plan for the minute I return. And if he is sick and I stay home then I have a new game plan for as soon as he's confirmed. Regardless, I have a plan. And I am walking again today, avoiding the Y workouts until I know if he's sick or not.
9/8 - 189.8 another walk yesterday during a Hallmark movie, planning a shorter walk today because I'm walking myself into a blister.

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 - Hope to have the scale inch down soon! My initial loss was just water weight since I changed my eating habits and starting working out just a couple of weeks ago. I know I have to get through this phase. This time I'm motivated to keep going and not give in. Joined Beachbody to do Shaun T's Let's Get Up workout and did my first workout today!

@benbowers
Welcome. This thread has helped keep me on track. Hope the same for you. I had surgery several years ago for a torn meniscus and totally understand the comfort eating following. I hope you get back into the running. I couldn't get past the mental block and have not seriously run since. Still have a fear of injury and being slowed down again.
