09/08-197.6-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Up from travel and lack of movement. I actually did very well during the travel meal. I even stopped at a roadside park and walked for about 15 minutes on a walking path around a creek after eating very reasonable choices in very nice controlled quantities. However, there is still an awful lot of sitting during a doctor appointment and also in car travel. I also ate 3 meals yesterday instead of two. While reasonable, it still put me over calorie and carb limits. Travel again tomorrow. Much further this time to see the surgeon.
09/09-197.8-(Trend Weight 198.5)- Weigh in is about 2.5 hours earlier than usual. Up a tad. Could be that but I did have an extra snack last night due to true hunger. I didn’t choose my daytime food very wisely even if it was within my calorie and carb limit. That snack put me over. I’m up early for travel today. May the beautiful Queen Rest In Peace. She will be missed.

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
Monday September 5th - 141.8 - Egads
Tuesday September 6th - 139.9 - Ate exactly the same things and had the same activities as the last 2 days. Hmm.
Wednesday September 7th - 138.6 - Really no rhyme or reason, but I will take any loss that I can get. I would love to be 136 or less to begin my travels next week!
Thursday September 8th - 138.1 - I so seldom eat Pasta, but I had cooked some up and portioned it. I have been having it with fresh garlic from my garden, my own oregano, turkey meatballs (the frozen kind) and 2 tbsp of sour cream. So different than the hunk of meat with veggies that I normally eat. Like, should I be eating white processed pasta more often? I am somehow losing weight. The last portion of that will be tonight, we'll see the tale of the tape in the morning weigh in.
Friday September 9th - 138.5 - Well, it really was nice to be seemingly continually losing. I guess that I have leveled out. I was stuck at around 131 for a long time, if I am going to be stuck around 138 so be it. There are several pieces of clothing that fit me on my last birthday that I won't even be taking with me on my trip this year, too tight.

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.
9/6/22 - 203.0 my own fault for the bump. My husband and I are committed starting today.
9/7/22 - 201.0 stuck with my food plan yesterday, it really does help if I pre-log my food for the day. Today is already logged. Had a scare with my husband yesterday. He came home at noon and said he was either going to our dr, the walk-in clinic, or the ER, whichever he could get to the fastest. Numb hands, arms and legs felt 'asleep'. Clinic decided it's a pinched nerve in his neck so we're waiting for insurance to approve an MRI. Until Monday at least he's off work, he can't safely do anything there (he's a heavy machinery mechanic). And while we were there I did my over-due check on my leg fracture; another 3 weeks with my dear friend Boot and then will get out of it. Hopefully it won't go with me to San Diego at the end of the month!
9/8/22 - 199.8 glad to not see a '2' this morning. Making chili for dinner tonight. Love fall in Indiana - cool nights and warm days. Trees haven't started to turn colors yet but the sunflower fields popped. Taking hubby to the GP today to put her in the loop. Still waiting on MRI approval. I'm almost hoping he gets worse so that we can go to the ER and force the MRI. Yes, I know, that's not the right way to look at it, but the idea of waiting around 6 weeks for a MRI and then another wait for surgery isn't pleasant; he can't work safely so could be off a really long time. Although I did have to tell him that it wasn't fair for him to break while I was still broken; this is my time to be taken care of LOL.
9/9/22 199.2 - hubby had CT scan of brain and neck yesterday, was told his brain is 'unremarkable' LOL. That's a good thing for sure. Just got a call he's scheduled for a brain MRI Monday and a neurologist appointment on the 22nd. Not sure what happened about the neck, apparently the GP feels the brain scan is more important though.3 -
Thank you for sharing pics @TinaLeigh67 and @deepwoodslady!
Wishing immense happiness to the newly married couples and their children. 💖3 -
Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana.
I've struggled most of my life with almost always feeling very fat. There are pictures that prove me right, but also 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. Until March of 2023, 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 also want to work on understanding that weight fluctuates and not panic every time.
Wish me luck!
09/03: 133.2 (-2.6) The last week of August I didn't post, but my weight was 135.8. I freaked out a little, but I have continued my usual exercising and eating patterns and I seem to be coming back.
Similarly to this summer, I have very few clothes that fit (or that I can make fit) so I had to go shopping. I didn't want to spend the money because in the back of my head is the "what if" but I decided to be brave and invest in a good number of good quality clothes in hopes that I'll be encouraged to keep it up.
I really believe things are going to look even better when I can stop taking the medication that makes me constipated. I guess that's another reason to look forward to it!
As for this month, I have 2 weeks off, which it usually means I really have to make sure I maintain my morning routine as best as I can and I will try to not overeat because I want to fit in my new pretty clothes!
09/10: 134.2 (+1) I know that having super late dinner last night is the culprit so I'm OK with that 😅
I'm getting back to exercising daily and burning bunch of calories. Hopefully that'll help offset ALL of the damage is likely to happen during the holidays. At least that's the plan 😅
Sending love to everyone
💖

The lung testing is in October. However, they did schedule another EKG to check blood flow for Sept 21st when I’m getting dopplers on legs. That should confirm that the stent is not struggling.

Hello!
I just transferred to a new university 3 weeks ago, had an incident where I had to miss a week of class, and worked nonstop for a week to catch up. As it was, I didn't make any time to eat, sleep, or track. Now that things have calmed down a little (in time for midterms!), I am trying to get back on track for the fiftieth time.
I got sick a couple weeks before class started and lost about 9 lbs in a week, but I am actually glad I was able to gain 3 lbs back by today. I'm a little farther away from the goal than before, but I am happier to lose weight at a more safe rate now.

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.

09/10-200.0-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Yikes, I guess it’s back to the drawing board! Hopefully all this travel and outside meals this week will AT LEAST keep up the metabolism! Today will be a very thoughtful and lean day! Doctor report from surgeon was very good. I still can’t breathe but they are banking on it being a lung issue, not the stent. The lung testing is in October. However, they did schedule another EKG to check blood flow for Sept 21st when I’m getting dopplers on legs. That should confirm that the stent is not struggling.
09/11-200.4-(Trend Weight 198.7)- Wrong direction. I just couldn’t get full last night.

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
Monday September 5th - 141.8 - Egads
Tuesday September 6th - 139.9 - Ate exactly the same things and had the same activities as the last 2 days. Hmm.
Wednesday September 7th - 138.6 - Really no rhyme or reason, but I will take any loss that I can get. I would love to be 136 or less to begin my travels next week!
Thursday September 8th - 138.1 - I so seldom eat Pasta, but I had cooked some up and portioned it. I have been having it with fresh garlic from my garden, my own oregano, turkey meatballs (the frozen kind) and 2 tbsp of sour cream. So different than the hunk of meat with veggies that I normally eat. Like, should I be eating white processed pasta more often? I am somehow losing weight. The last portion of that will be tonight, we'll see the tale of the tape in the morning weigh in.
Friday September 9th - 138.5 - Well, it really was nice to be seemingly continually losing. I guess that I have leveled out. I was stuck at around 131 for a long time, if I am going to be stuck around 138 so be it. There are several pieces of clothing that fit me on my last birthday that I won't even be taking with me on my trip this year, too tight.
Saturday September 10th - 139.5 - Late dinner, and wings at that.

Hello!
I just transferred to a new university 3 weeks ago, had an incident where I had to miss a week of class, and worked nonstop for a week to catch up. As it was, I didn't make any time to eat, sleep, or track. Now that things have calmed down a little (in time for midterms!), I am trying to get back on track for the fiftieth time.
I got sick a couple weeks before class started and lost about 9 lbs in a week, but I am actually glad I was able to gain 3 lbs back by today. I'm a little farther away from the goal than before, but I am happier to lose weight at a more safe rate now.
Sep 9- 98 lbs
Sep 10- Didn't weigh today
Sep 11- 97 lbs Maybe I didn't actually gain back 3 lbs? I recently ate and I'm rounding up, which probably makes my actual weight more like 96.5 lbs. It's hard for me to tell if I actually gained any weight, I suppose.3 -

Hi all.
My name is Amy and I'm 44, really struggling with runaway weight gain. In 2013 I lost 50 lbs using MFP and running, but the past couple of years have really taken their toll, and I now have 70 lbs to lose. Having a place to check in every day will be very helpful, so here I am
I've just started working out three times a week at a gym, will be working with a personal trainer once a week, and now I really need to dial in my food and drink. Looking forward to all the little victories along the way, and seeing you all succeed as well.
Height: 5'4" Age:44
Start weight (2022-09-12): 205 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs
September goal: lose 5 lbs
