Hi. I'm 75 and after being retired for a year, felt there was still "more" to life, so entirely switched occupations and now work as a server at an Assisted living Sr Home. Work is hard but saves going to the gym! I live in central B.C., Canada
I'm usually not very successful at challenges but hope to focus on the thoughts and situations that trigger my evening over eating habit.

I changed things up a bit over the past week and increased my daily calorie goal from 1200 to 1500 but I also stopped adding my exercise calories back in. I tried to keep my calorie burn between 250 and 350 per day. I also increased my water intake. Something seems to have worked so I'll stick with this plan for awhile and see if it continues to work for me.
Have a wonderful week!

I’m really excited about how well this challenge is going. My husband who was seen me all the way up to a recorded 317 pounds was absolutely gushing over me the other day and how well I’m doing. We have never discussed numbers at all, so he doesn’t know that I’m over 100 pounds lost, but it was awesome to hear. 😀
I’m less than 4 pounds from One-derland, which I’ve not seen since before I got pregnant with my 18 year old. Woo hoo! I’m excited as that’s clearly in sight and could be possible by my October birthday.
Just keep going!10 -

Last week was a difficult one and I dealt with things in the usual way with food
I think the scale must be having a “Monday morning” as it says I actually lost?!
But hey, I will take it. I didn’t do any walking or workouts at ALL last week and the most noticeable result was my depression was worse.
GOALS:
#1 Have more of a schedule
#2 Get back to my walks
#3 Get through one whole week without binging on sugary food.
Enjoy your week 😀

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol, some osteoporosis and coronary heart disease with a stent in my heart. I am working to get healthier. I know losing weight and exercising more will help all of these issues.

09/12-200.4-(Trend Weight: 199.2)- All the travel this week, the sitting and restaurant food, has really impacted my progress. It’s always my downfall. More travel this week but not as much. Gotta keep my home a safe zone! Sugar cravings are bad after I eat it and there was that wedding cake!

Mary 65, from Pennsylvania.
Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.

9/4/22- 175 lbs Back on the rails. Staying on track better this month so far. Today had a wedding that was planned in 2 weeks for a girl at work. They were going to get married on zoom and in 5-10 minutes of a conversation at a work party 2 weeks ago, it became a work party wedding. We all brought a covered dish and a coworkers husband married them a block from where they live by the river. Very nice. Very hard to calculate calories but I think I did fairly well except for a piece of cake. But you have to sample the cake. Its required! LOL!

Not to seem ungrateful for any amount of weight loss, but I was really hoping to be out of the 180's today. I kept stepping off and back onto the scale hoping it would drop by just 1/10th of a pound.
Oh well, I'm still thrilled to hit the 50 lbs lost threshold.
Have a wonderful week!
