Starting fresh today (12/15/21). I saw my dr yesterday morning and weighed 171. She looked at my chart and said, "2 years ago you weighed 158. I'd like to see you that weight when you have your physical in March." So, Dr.'s orders as they say. 13 lbs is utterly doable in that amount of time. I'll check in more often for inspiration here.

This has got to be dehydration but I will take it! The weather in the mid Atlantic has been beautiful and great for walking. I have found a podcast that lasts about 40 minutes so that is perfect for a walk in the woods and through the neighborhood. Happy Friday, Everyone!11 -

12/15: 168.7 Well, at least I'm finally below where I started in December...jeesh.
12/16: 167.7
12/17: 166! Lowest weight in 3 years. *throws confetti*
Evidently that 5lb gain that happened over night last week is flushing out of my system. Happy dance! Even when it's just water, I don't want to be carrying it around.

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
November: 203.4 - 199.8: 3.6 lb loss
12/1: 200.0 lbs - the past two night i have had a snack of honey nut cheerios. i haven't been hungry but just wanted something. tonight i will NOT eat cereal!!!
12/2: 200.4 lbs - I'm not quite sure what caused the gain because I was well under my calories yesterday (and no cereal). But fluctuations happen!
12/3: 199.0 lbs - happy friday all! after a week off, i will have to start training for my next half marathon this weekend.
12/4: 199.2 lbs - 4 miles and dog walk done this morning. Now to start the Christmas shopping!!
12/5: 198.8 lbs
12/6: 200.2 lbs - I didn't pretrack my meals yesterday and went slightly over calories. I've been doing this so long, that rarely happens. This will come off.
12/7: 199.2 lbs - happy tuesday!
12/8: 199.0 lbs -
12/9: 198.4 lbs - 2 days of an upset stomach. I have no clue why.
12/10: 198.0 lbs - 3 days with super low calories. I am assuming I will rebound a little bit this weekend.
12/11: 199.0 lbs - not surprised I had too much sodium yesterday. 😃
12/13: 198.8 lbs
12/14: 199.0 lbs
12/15: 198.2 lbs - happy wednesday! not much new here. doing the same old same old.
12/16: 198.8 lbs - lots of movement yesterday ~15k steps
12/17: 197.4 lbs - this was after my long run so prob will go up tomorrow.11 -
Goal weight Jan 31 = 241
Ultimate Goal Weight = 170
Nov 13 = 256.0
Nov 20 = 251.2
Nov 27 = 249.4
Dec 4 = 249.4
Dec 11 = 248.8
Dec 18 = 246.4
Down 9.6 lbs in 5 weeks. I've been vigilant in tracking my food intake and still averaging around 2,200 calories each day.
My next step is to get better at meal planning so I can work on the macros. My fat % is too high and protein % is too low. I think this will help me on those days when my hunger is difficult to manage and also help nudge my calorie intake down to 2,000.
I hope everyone has a successful week ahead and that you all get one step closer to your goals!!14 -

Hello! I’m 34F, 5’4 and started using MFP again at the end of May and feel like I am in it for the long haul this time, learning how to cook healthy foods and creating healthy habits.
May 28th 2021 Weight 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)
Challenge starting weight- 204lbs
Challenge end goal- 195lbs (was 190lb but adjusted my calorie goal a bit higher)
Sunday is my weigh in day
11/01 204.0 up a bit from yesterday but had double my normal sodium intake yesterday. It makes for an even number to start out with
11/07 205.8 +1.8lbs had an imaging appointment the next town over was stressing out for, day of didn’t eat beforehand then went shopping and brought so many treats plus fast food for lunch and dinner. That was the only day I actually went over my bmr but was over my calorie goal more often this week. Plus side, results of imaging were good news.
11/14 204.0, 1.8 lbs lost, 0.0lbs lost this month. Alright, am now at least back where I started this month. Had a pretty good week, two hikes, one walk and two shopping days that got a lot of steps. Finally found a pair of hiking shoes that fit (had to get a mens pair as have not found one women’s pair in wide) Been wearing them around the house and for shopping, hopefully will be good today, first time using them on a hike.
11/21 203.4 -.6lbs the week and month. Okay week. 1 hike and 3 walks but was more hungry this week, and ate out a couple days so I was over my calorie goals a few times. Edited my calorie goal to losing .5lbs a week and may keep it like that for a bit… I won’t make my 190lb challenge goal that way but will still be in onderland by end of the challenge
11/28 202.2 -1.2lbs this week, 1.8lbs this month. 4 walks this week, I eat somewhat unhealthy for a few days this week. On the plus side I also tried a couple healthy new recipes: a Lentil-potato soup and a chicken curry. Both very nummy. Think the loss is more a cumulative couple week whoosh than anything in particular I did this week.
-1.8lbs total this month.
12/05 201.0 -1.2 this week and month. -3lbs challenge. Had a pretty good week, 1 hike, 4 walks and a yardwork day. Under my calories goal every day. Tried a red lentil curry and a tomato garlic chicken curry. Both tasted amazing, I did overcook the lentils, it is a learning process.
12/12 201.6 +.6 this week, -.06 this month, -2.4 this challenge *sigh* Exercised 5 days this week, I was over calories two days and under the rest of the week, overall had a good week. Next week will hopefully show improvement number wise, just gotta keep plugging away
12/19 199.4 -2.2lbs this week, -2.8:this month -4.6 this challenge. !!!Am excited to touch wonderland for the first time in a while. Hopefully won’t bounce back too much next week after such a nice loss this week. Had a great week, had a staycation. Exercised 6 days this week, and got a lot of steps in the 7th. Was under my calories 6/7 days as well. Food experiment this week was a savory oatmeal. Put in tomato paste, garlic and onion powder and topped with some mozzarella cheese. So nummy!

- Dec 13 : 227.3 : gained 0.3 total loss = 5.7
- Dec 20 : 227.7 : gained 0.4 total loss = 5.3 -- I decided that, in order to enjoy the Christmas season, I'd just try to stay under 230. Of course, I naively thought that maybe I'd continue to lose weight anyway, despite enjoying the food and festivities. But I suppose it doesn't work that way, does it? 😏

November to January 31, 2021.
I'm continuing from the last challenge. I lost 6 pounds. My goal is to keep moving toward a plant-based eating plan and ultimately get my weight into a BMI of 22-23 or about 125-128 pounds. This Challenge Start Weight: 144.5 Challenge Goal: 135
11/1 - 144.5
11/8 -144 (- 0.5)
11/15 - 144 (same)

11/29 - 143.5 (I’ll take it. Really ate too much at Thanksgiving and the day before... and the day after! Back on track now. Low Impact Aerobics today.)
12/6 - 142 (-1.5) Moving in the right direction.
12/12 - 140.5 (-1.5) I’ve ramped up the exercise to 5 days and I’m staying on the plant-based eating plan. Seems like things are moving along but I’m bracing myself for a plateau.
12/20 - 139.5 (-1) Yay, goodbye 150s, goodbye 140s! -5 pounds so far this challenge and -6 the last = 11 pounds down! Merry Christmas everyone!

I couldn't even bring myself to get on the scale today.....Having a big slide in the wrong direction this past week.
Today I have stayed in bed all day🙄.
Will give myself the rest of the day to wallow then get back on track tomorrow.
Nice to read your progress posts though!

My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.
Thank you @RubyRed427 for starting another challenge.
Start Weight: 188.2 (Weight on Oct 31, 2021)
Goal Weight: 173.2
End Weight: xxxxx
Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Nov 01…..189.4…..(Trend Weight: 187.7)…..What a horrid way to start the month. Pizza and Halloween candy were present but not to blame. It’s on me.
Nov 03…..189.0…..(Trend Weight: 187.9)….. Weight down a touch, but trending up. Good news on my surgery results. No sign of breast cancer in the surgical tissue lumpectomy. So it looks like I may be around awhile folks! Today is my daughter’s 27th birthday who lives with me. There will be festivities, food, cake, ice cream etc. So many reasons to double celebrate today for us! Tomorrow, back on track! Snow again here today. Outside too cold but I will try to get my steps in the house around the renovation men. The tile project should be done by tonight. Another week or two of men working and I will get a break until after New Years. I can’t wait!
Nov 10…..189.6…..(Trend Weight: 188.6)…..I’ve been eating horribly since I found out I needed the surgery. The surgery is over but the bingeing hasn’t stopped. It’s time to get myself back in control. This is counter-productive!
Nov 17…..189.8…..(Trend Weight: 189.4)….. I almost convinced myself that I’d made some extra positive changes to my diet. Then I weighed myself this morning and after some investigation and reflection….Not really. Not enough anyway. I’m going to work on a better upcoming week. I’m running out of options for better health. There’s no way around exercise and you can’t outrun the fork. Gotta do it the old fashioned way and stop thinking I can outsmart the experts!
Nov 24…..189.6…..(Trend Weight: 189.2)….. I am not doing well in every possible way. Mentally, physically, emotionally. I’ve got to get a grip. Losing site of my own health is not helping anyone else who needs me right now.
Nov 30…..189.2…..(Trend Weight: 189.7)…..
Nov Goal: 183.2
Nov Actual: 189.2
Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 6 lb GAIN
Dec 01…..188.7…..(Trend Weight: 189.5)….. My brother passed away today at the age of 54. It was rather sudden but I was caring for him with the help of end-care hospice. I’m a hot mess and have been for a bit. I don’t know how I am going to pull myself together, especially with the holidays here. That’s always a tough time for dieting. I’m doing everything from eating my emotions to bingeing. Nothing will bring him back. I’ve got to get a grip. Please be patient with me, my friends. I’m doing good minutes or moments at a time but it doesn’t last. But I never give up. This reminds me how much my family needs me. I’ve got to get back to the positive changes I need to make. I just need a minute.
Dec 07…..188.2…..(Trend Weight: 189.4)…..
Dec 14…..191.6…..(Trend Weight: 190.4)….. The death of my brother has really found me spiraling out of control. It has been horrid. Couple that with travel for Christmas shopping and all the cravings that come with being off plan and it’s a recipe for disaster. Hell, I haven’t even started baking yet. I’ve got to get a grip. Nothing will bring him back.
Dec 21…..191.4…..(Trend Weight: 190.5)….. Another death this week. A friend of 20 years age 55 from an Asthma attack. I had a full-on binge yesterday of BBQ chips and donuts that I bought at the store when I went to get water. It was so bad that I skipped dinner just to off-set the calories. I feel like death warmed over today. I have none of the energy that good foods would have given me. This is just another example of my food killing me, like a poison because of my relationship with it. I’ve got to do better! I know this was emotional eating. Too many death's this month. But it solves nothing!

Cumulative Weight Loss so Far:
7 -
Well I didn't get to the 180 or below. Had an uptick to 181.8 lbs but I was true to my calories, carbs, water and exercise so just a normal weight fluctuation. So I lost 30.2 lbs during the 3 month challenge. Which is excellent!
So starting 11/1 at 181.8 lbs with goal of 15 lbs for the 3 months. This 10 lb average / month that has been going on has got to slow down soon, I'm thinking.
Welcome back to past challengers and to the new ones!
64 yo 5' 4" Heaviest Weight twice-255 lbs, got down to 122 lbs 2010 and kept it off 5 years then got lazy.
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/7/21-180 lbs! Down 75 lbs.
11/14/21-176.6 lbs! Down 5.2 lbs of my monthly goal of 5 lbs and my 15 lbs for the 3 months. 78.4 lbs lost. About 60% loss of my goal of 133 lbs to lose. Did 223 minutes on my Elliptical today. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the movie and wanted to hit the 16 mile mark!
11/21/21-177.4 lbs-stayed under my allotted calories/water but did eat 400-600 more calories than my usual 1000-1200. Had 1689 but with exercise was allowed 3804. I don't normally eat any of my exercise calories back. I have been losing about 10 lbs/month but expected it to slow down a month or 2 ago. Guess thats what it is doing now.
11/28/21-175 lbs. Down 80 lbs total, 6.8 lbs for November goal of 5 lbs! I did fairly well on Thanksgiving. I did my Elliptical in the morning (216 minutes-15.25 miles) At the 3 pm lunch I only ate meat (turkey, ham & pork) and broccoli and no gravy. (The sides just weren't calling to me to eat/try them, as usual, in the past). Later that night I did have a small piece of a homemade flan (I never had it before and the girl who made it is in pastry school) and someone else brought a pumpkin cheesecake that looked wondrous, from a Farmer's Market bakery, that I had brought home. I had 1,357 calories of my allotted 3,810, for the day.
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/5/21-171.8 lbs- Down 4.4 lbs already!
Crossed out of Obese Category into Overweight yesterday. Also wearing size 10 jeans for a couple weeks but tried on a brand new pair of 8's with the tags on yesterday. Zipped them right up easily but my flabby belly hangs out bad over the waistband so abdominal crunches starting!
12/12/21-170.8 lbs- Down 5.4 lbs for December. So met my December goal of 5 lbs. 11 lbs of the 15 lb 3 month challenge so far! :-) I was at a work Christmas bowling party last night. They were to have some Keto friendly snacks but had pizza, french fries and BREADED chicken nuggets. Glad I took some snacks myself. I had a hard boiled egg, a colby jack string cheese, some pecans and water and stayed on track. I did 242 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 17 miles.
Couldn't wait for my regular weigh in day!
12/14-169.4 lbs :-) Yessss! Finally into the 160's! Down 6.8 lbs for December, 85.6 lbs Total. Yesterday it was thinking about getting into the 160's. But NOW I'm thinking about getting into the 150's. What a battle going on in my head! CRAZY! I could maybe be in my old clothes by summer!
I got a later start today so I only did 140 minutes on my elliptical for 11 miles today.
12/19/21-169.6 lbs
12/21/21-168.2 lbs Down- 6 lbs of my December 5 lb goal! Down 13.6 lbs of my November, December & January 15lb goal! Down 86.8 lbs of my 133 lb goal!

Dec 21/21 Weigh In
Thx
I decided to suck it up and do my weigh in despite the fact that I know I have gained.
Staring Weight 162lb Jan/21
Lowest Weight 150lb achieved Nov/21*
Last Weight 153lb Dec 13/21 +3lb
Today's Weight 154.2lb +1.2lb
Not the way I want to see things go! But seeing it "on paper" so to speak is good.
Got back on track today and hoping to stay on point at least most of the week, but will allow Christmas treats on the 24th/25th
Walked for 55min today & came in below calorie goals. Day #1 reset - Check👍

My weight is bouncing around 152 for the past week, which is not surprising considering that I’ve been working more and not as diligent with my food. I am, however, eating at maintenance, so at least I’m not stress eating. With Christmas 3 days away, my to do list is overloaded, but I am hanging in there. I think once I’m past the holiday, I will catch up on sleep and exercise. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays everyone.

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
November: 203.4 - 199.8: 3.6 lb loss
12/1: 200.0 lbs - the past two night i have had a snack of honey nut cheerios. i haven't been hungry but just wanted something. tonight i will NOT eat cereal!!!
12/2: 200.4 lbs - I'm not quite sure what caused the gain because I was well under my calories yesterday (and no cereal). But fluctuations happen!
12/3: 199.0 lbs - happy friday all! after a week off, i will have to start training for my next half marathon this weekend.

12/7: 199.2 lbs - happy tuesday!
12/8: 199.0 lbs -
12/9: 198.4 lbs - 2 days of an upset stomach. I have no clue why.
12/10: 198.0 lbs - 3 days with super low calories. I am assuming I will rebound a little bit this weekend.
12/11: 199.0 lbs - not surprised I had too much sodium yesterday. 😃

12/14: 199.0 lbs

I’m whittling it back down, NOW, before it takes up residence!
I also found out I’m 5’8” now (1/2” shorter than I was in 2015) so once I get back in my maintenance range, I will set a new, lower maintenance range- to be more in line with shorter height.

Restart: (it takes me 3 days to get back on track) I am “white-knuckling”right now. I’m NOT hungry, but my Mind & mouth are.)
I’m listening to my body’s true hunger & keeping busy.

Steps high; calories low!
I find maintenance is usually easy & occasionally (like right now) difficult for a few days. Once my taste buds go back to low sodium/low sugar, it’s much easier.
It’s scary, but I can feel I’ll get back on track after a few days of attention.
