My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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!

COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain. Black is no change.
08/01-201.2-(Trend Weight 201.4)- Gradually dropping on the scale over the past few days. Pleased to see that. Getting ready to leave for surgery. I’ll be back soon!
08/02-202.0-(Trend Weight 201.4)- I weighed at hospital on different scale this morning. I’m okay post-surgery. They changed the surgery up a bit. Some for good reasons, some for not-so-good but they promise I will be able to breathe much better soon. No improvement yet and I really thought the better breathing would be immediate. Taking it easy and following Drs orders. Lots of changes in the meds.
08/03-201.6-(Trend Weight 201.4)- The heart surgeon I met for the first time when I was in the OR. He said that he will not triple stent me, if it becomes 100% necessary, he will do a by-pass but he wasn’t in the mood to crack open any ribs that day. Yikes! He thought that two of the blockages could be managed with new meds for now but one was further blocked than the CTA test indicated. It was 76% blocked instead of 50%. So he stented that one, changed my cholesterol meds to 80 mg instead of 10 mg. Added the blood thinner recommended for those specifically with stents, added another heavy-duty blood pressure med to go with my other and gave me an emergency script for nitro just in case. He said my breathing on exertion should improve but it’s still rough breathing so far. Gotta heal up I guess. No exercise for a week and then light moderate like walking or bike. Breathing was worse yesterday instead of better but so far today, I feel a little improvement. Glad it’s over. Thanks again to all of you for the well wishes, personal IM’s and hugs. You are all the best friends a girl could ever ask for!

My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
July end weight: 130.0
July results: +1.4
August goal: maintenance of 128-132
My goal this month is to maintain weight as well as increase activity. I will be moving at some point this month so I will be doing a lot of packing. Have been waiting for a definite start date on a new job, but they are still going through the process of doing background checks and such. I currently work for the State and have been accepted for another position with the State. Unfortunately, they won't just open my personnel file and retrieve the information they already have, they are doing it all over again from scratch. It has been over a month since they began. It's very frustrating. Anyway, somehow I am hoping to find time to increase workouts/walks while packing and preparing for a wedding.
8/01: DNW
8/02: DNW
8/03: 129.0 (129.4 trend)
8/04: 128.0 (129.2 trend) surprised by this. Sodium intake was high, but I did try to drink lots of water.5 -
I am Dawn
5'2", 61 and 5/6th : - )
I have been on MFP since October 2018.
I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
I gained 0.6 last month
Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
Thursday August 04 - 138.8 - Going to keep it very light for the next couple of days before my company arrives. He is a chef and I expect to be eating more (and richer) food than usual starting Saturday for 8 days4 -

08/04-200.6-(Trend Weight 201.3)- I am done with the 2 days of extreme light duty. I go back on all diabetes medications today and start 5 days of light duty that is a tiny bit less restrictive. Still no exercise allowed, bu I can now carefully (under 5 lbs) use my right hand. I took my son out to a local restaurant last night mainly because I felt sorry for myself. Just being honest. We even split a dessert. Food doesn’t fix anything, of course, it’s just a band-aid. Feeling much better today and I can’t wait to be able to take walks again and get on my stationary bike! Weight dropped but it was probably fluid loss from the water pill. I can see my ankle bones again this morning and my feet look normal. They always do when I get rid of the water. I know this is not easy for any of us. We’ll get there folks if we keep showing up for ourselves in the day-to-day and for each other because support is one of the ingredients of success!

Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.

08/05: 190.0 - Came home from busy day at work to dinner made by my hubby. I thought I could "guestimate" the calories since I was starving, but once I went back and entered everything that was on that dish, I was way over calories.4 -

Dear Donna (@deepwoodslady), I don't know about you, but I do require assistance from band-aids once in a while (metaphorical and non). You keep on doing you. I am proud of you!

08/06-198.8-(Trend Weight 201.0)- Pizza last night. It didn’t show up on the scale but I suspect it will very very soon. I’m very tired today most likely from bad food. It’s going to be 92 degrees today and I have no air conditioning. Oh Joy! I’ll keep myself and cats as cool as possible with the fans. I trapped as much night air inside as I possibly could last night. Re: Surgery, I had a little chest pain in bed last night but really more like soreness/healing type of pain, not heart attack kind of pain. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. I’m just thrilled to be back in Onederland.

Officially back in my target weight range! Woo hoo.4 -
Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana.
I've struggled most of my life with almost always feeling very fat. There are pictures of me that prove me right, but there are others that prove me wrong.
2009 was the year in which I felt better about my physical appearance but in 2011, after my husband passed away I reached my highest weight (180 lbs). By 2018 I had worked my way to 140lbs and maintained it for 2 years. I was feeling very good even though I still had to battle with negative thoughts and avoided looking at myself in the mirror. Last year I learned that the pandemic and depression related to my father's death brought me back up to 156.4 lbs.
I gave myself a year to work on my health and even though I am not where I hoped to be, I am satisfied with my efforts. For the next year I will work on maintaining a fitness schedule and on relating to food in different ways... I want to eat to live instead of live for eating. I am a little scared because the first weeks of maintenance I did OK, but the last 2 weeks of July were a huge gain. On the other hand, my clothes still fit.
Wish me luck!
08/01: 137.2 (+6. 2) A huge gain last month. Still recovering from vacation gain. Determined to get back to a cleaner way of eating and to exercising more frequently and focusing on building muscle just because it burns more calories, which means I can eat more 😂
08/06 137.0 (-0.2) That's just funny and disappointing but I know it's all my fault. This week I had restaurant food 3 times so there's a lot of salt in my system. Even though I ate within my allowance 2 times, yesterday I also succumbed to tortellini around 10pm. Not good at all. I can see it lodged in my belly.
I'm trying to get back to working out so I started a Chloe Ting 28 day challenge and today will be day 6. Also, my vacation days are over so I am looking forward to healthier eating and crazily enough, to meal planning. I see brighter, closer to130lb days ahead 🙆♀️
Sending love to everyone
💖

Goals for the week:
1. Self-love and compassion
2. Balance my macros
3. Increase water intake
4. Listen to my satiety cues

7. Morning exercise or walk 5x/week

I am Dawn
5'2", 61 and 5/6th : - )
I have been on MFP since October 2018.
I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
I gained 0.6 last month
Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
Thursday August 04 - 138.8 - Going to keep it very light for the next couple of days before my company arrives. He is a chef and I expect to be eating more (and richer) food than usual starting Saturday for 8 days
Friday August 05 - 139.9 - Quite surprised at this jump up, I had a very good day exercise and food wise. Going to try to take it in stride, actually feeling lean this morning.
Saturday August 05 - 138.1 - That was the last of being "good" for the next 8 days. I am going to try not to be rude and sit at the kitchen table at my laptop reading and writing into these forums while I have company (in a couple more hours from now). I will be logging and weighing, just not sure if I will make it on here or not.5 -
Enjoy your company @dawnbgethealthy2

Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.

Hello! My name is Mina.
Just started today as I moved to a new environment and realized I gained another 15pounds while I dealt with family vacation, move across ocean, and kids out of school.
I need community, accountability and I am here to find joy and wins in the process.
Anyway,
My height is 5'8
Starting weight: 166
8/7: 166.0- This is first thing in the morning as I get ready for the day. I'll be posting this weight with a short log.

08/06-198.8-(Trend Weight 201.0)- Pizza last night. It didn’t show up on the scale but I suspect it will very very soon. I’m very tired today most likely from bad food. It’s going to be 92 degrees today and I have no air conditioning. Oh Joy! I’ll keep myself and cats as cool as possible with the fans. I trapped as much night air inside as I possibly could last night. Re: Surgery, I had a little chest pain in bed last night but really more like soreness/healing type of pain, not heart attack kind of pain. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. I’m just thrilled to be back in Onederland.
08/07-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.7)- Glucose has remained very high these past few days (since surgery). Logging every bite the last few so I know I’m not missing anything and weight is dropping. Why so high? I don’t get it! The only change is the lack of exercise until I am allowed. But I am moving pretty steady with simple housecleaning, stretches etc. Baffled!

August goal: maintenance of 128-132
My goal this month is to maintain weight as well as increase activity. I will be moving at some point this month so I will be doing a lot of packing. Have been waiting for a definite start date on a new job, but they are still going through the process of doing background checks and such. I currently work for the State and have been accepted for another position with the State. Unfortunately, they won't just open my personnel file and retrieve the information they already have, they are doing it all over again from scratch. It has been over a month since they began. It's very frustrating. Anyway, somehow I am hoping to find time to increase workouts/walks while packing and preparing for a wedding.
