    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn, I will be 62 in a few weeks.
    I joined MFP in October of 2018. I have lost weight for sure, but still have another 20-ish pounds to shed. It is slow going and sometimes very frustrating. I lost weight before, quit tracking every bite and gained 50 pounds, so I have pledged to myself to keep this tracking up forever. MFP makes that extremely easy.
    As my moniker would suggest, at this stage of my life it is all about getting healthy so that I can be active throughout my 60s and hopefully 70s. This means to me achieving a healthy body weight so that my organs and stuff are not overworked.

    I think most of us have been up and down and all around. Key here is to rock it at any and every weight : - )


    Thursday September 1st: 138.2 (I am using my endweight from August). This month will see me in Mexico, where I absolutely love the foods, especially the breakfasts. My usually eating style will turn upside down. I am going to pack my scale with me to keep me from exploding : - )
    Friday September 2nd - 139.8 - Ugh. I was at 1200 calories with lots of calorie burn, so am just going to take this in stride as some weird sort of fluctuation.
    Saturday September 3rd - 140.1 - I had 4 wings last night (300 calories, but likely full of salt) after working a split with my other job in between. I had a whopping 22,218 steps on my pedometre at the end of the night! That worked out to a 917 calorie burn at my current weight. I had a workout in the morning before work also. Hating seeing the 140s yet again, but I dreamt of hitting 140, and achieved that in 2020 so trying to keep it in perspective, as opposed to knowing that 2 years of very hard work have seen me right back there again whilst hitting 130.6 in 2021. Not giving up, well maybe a little bit while in Mexico : - )
    Sunday September 4th - 140.9

    Nikki
    53 years young; 5'5"
    Health challenges: breast cancer in 2016, full hysterectomy 2021, multiple leg/foot breaks (2015, 2018, 2022).


    9/1/22 - 202.6 I can't wait to get this stupid boot off, but my husband is already reminding me to ease into exercise so I don't reinjure myself. Had a dexa/bone scan this morning to see if I'm dealing with osteoporosis. It's a possibility since I was on an estrogen blocking med for 5 years after the breast cancer, and I now have a history of fractures that take twice as long to heal as they should. Will be interesting to get results from that test.
    9/5/22 - 201.0 dexa scan was normal so still no real answers, perhaps I'm just a really slow healer. Will see ortho tomorrow. Fingers crossed I'm out of this lovely boot in another few weeks before I go to San Diego for work. Or else my dear friend gets to mark off another state it has traveled to with me :-) Food added to my diary for the day and for tomorrow too. Adding to my food diary really does help me stay on track mentally, but it is somewhat of a hassle so I easily break the habit.

    My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
    MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
    August end weight: 129.2
    August results: +0.2
    September goal: maintenance of 128-132

    09/01: 128.6 (129.5 trend)
    09/02: 128.4 (129.3 trend) - Dinner with friends and then went to a concert and saw Grand Funk Railroad. They were a little before my time and I did not know many of their songs, but it was an awesome concert!
    09/03: DNW Wedding day  Had a swedish massage scheduled in the late morning. Was absolutely wonderful. Then lunch with a friend before getting ready for the wedding. Sun came out just minutes before I left the hotel for the gazebo we were getting married in. Very small, quaint, simple ceremony but it was perfect. Then later that evening a very nice dinner and a few hours at the casino. It was a great weekend.
    09/04: DNW Slept in and then packed up and headed out for breakfast. Cinnamon Roll pancakes, eggs and hashbrowns. I'm knew I was going to regret it the next morning, but it was SO good!
    09/05: 131.2 (130.0 trend) I knew this would happen. Too much good food and drinks. Oh well. I won't be getting married every weekend, LOL. Pictures to follow as I sort through them
    09/06: 129.0 (129.9 trend) back to work. Would have loved having the week off but covid and surgery took all my time

    How awesome that the sun came out for your wedding.
    I imagine that you can't take a honeymoon after just starting a new job, but it will be something to look forward to for the future.
    New job, new house, new husband, now you can settle in : - )

    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!
    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 Aug 31): 200.0
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 195.0
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    ******************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME****************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    09/01-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.8)-

    09/02-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.7)-

    09/03-199.0-(Trend Weight 199.7)-

    09/04-197.8-(Trend Weight 199.4)-

    09/05-197.0-(Trend Weight 199.2)- A good day yesterday except movement was very low level. I was just so exhausted after the wedding. I needed a day of nothingness. Most of the time I keep my home a “safe zone” with the right foods. It’s portion control I have to watch out for. I have been known to binge on “diet food”. The wrong foods are the ones at the restaurants. I don’t do much of that in my city, just when I travel and then, Oh boy, the choices!!!!! I am proud to say I kept it under control (for the most part) at the wedding. That is tough for me to do. I love food that I didn’t have to cook and I love new recipes.

    09/06-196.8-(Trend Weight 198.9)- I just noticed that from (basically) the start of last fall 2021 to the end of the Michigan winter in 2022, I gained 12 pounds! I CANNOT let that happen again! In fact, I am STILL NOT BACK DOWN to where I was on Sept 19 which was 187.6 . 10 more pounds to lose just to break even. How sad. On a good note, I am starting to feel my hip bones poking out. They are still in there afterall.

    Good morning everyone!

    I have fallen off the wagon of caring for myself. I am really looking for some accountability in my goals.

    I am at the heaviest I have been at ~228 lbs with a 5'3" frame. I would really like to get back to the 170-ish pound range, that is when I felt the healthiest.

    Goals this month are going to be small, I might add more in a couple of weeks but I need to ease my way back in as to not over do it causing me to not come back.

    *Weigh-in every Monday morning
    *2-3 lbs loss a week
    *calorie intake 1500-1700 calories a day
    *20 mins a day of me time (it can be doing nothing just need some me time)
    *limit alcohol intake
    *10,000 steps a day

    Day one for me is Sept 6.

    9/06:
    9/07
    9/08
    9/09
    9/10
    9/11
    9/12

    9/23
    9/24

    9/26
