    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.

    09/07-196.2-(Trend Weight 198.7)-

    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.

    I’m also a daily weigher so really happy to have found this group. I live in B.C., Canada, am 75 yrs old and focusing on staying active, toning and getting back into the 150’s. After retiring a few yrs ago I felt there was still “more” to my life so started working as a server etc at a local seniors’ assisted living home. It’s hard work but I love helping the elderly. My hugest challenge is evening / late night eating; this has been a lifelong struggle. A year ago I was 9 lbs lighter so that’s my 3rd milestone goal. I used WW blue plan as a guideline but had my best success with Noom; now pulling together the best parts of each program but the group wisdom and support I find with MFP is what really keeps me from straying too far off the plan.

    1st goal: 161; 2nd goal – 158 (by end of Sept), 3rd goal - 156

    Sept 1st: 164.4 stacked wood,
    2nd: 164.4
    3rd: 164 Plan is to start treadmilling today (15 minutes).
    4th: 166..8
    5th: 165 Crocheted instead of nibbling.
    6th: 164.4 Sooo much stress but crocheted to get thru the evening. Shoulder started hurting, hope it’s not caused by my crocheting b/c it’s a difficult pattern. Ended evening the evening with a small glass of wine.
    7th: 162.4 crossing my finger I can hold this wt drop.
    8th: 163 worked 4 hr pm shift; calories <1500.
    9th: 163.4 Focus: <15 WW pts; 1000 Cal’s.

    Hi there!
    My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
    I'm now in my maintenance range (160-165). I have learned so much about myself through this process!

    Sep 1 - 163 (I knew I had a long day at work so I got up before 5 to ride the Peloton. Work did go late, but I managed to fit a dog walk and a strength session in tonight as well. Feels good!)
    Sep 2 - 163.8 (Checking in from the back seat of my vehicle as we drive across two provinces of Canada to get to my Aunt's wedding.)
    Sep 3 - 162.8 (Hotel breakfast and then I hit the hotel gym for a treadmill session. Lunch was fairly indulgent and there is a reasonable amount of alcohol around for pre-wedding socializing. Trying to pace myself.)
    Sep 4 - 166.2
    Sep 5 - 166
    Sep 6 - 165.6 (We had a fantastic time at the wedding. Definitely ate and drank way too much BUT that's the good thing about daily weighing.. doesn't turn into a 3 month binge. We are back on the road home today so it's another 11 hour day in the car. Tomorrow we start driving west for my husband's bike race but we are breaking that drive up so tomorrow and Thursday's jaunts won't be such long days. Lots of car time means when I'm out of it I need to be moving!)
    Sep 7- 165.2 (Today we are driving west to Kamloops, BC. We are on our way to Vancouver for my husband's Gran Fondo on Saturday. I just had a diner meal that was much heavier than my normal choices. Getting a bit caught up in vacation mode decision making.)
    Sep 8 - 167 (Up and on the road again this afternoon. Almost in Vancouver. Tonight is the Bills home opener so we are going to go out to watch the game.)
    Sep 9 - 168.6 (We watched the Bills win and then went out for supper to an Italian restaurant. I track on holiday so the weight going up is expected based on the overconsumption. Unfortunately yesterday was a day of low movement as well.)

    Mary 65 from Pennsylvania. Goal weight 122 lbs. Was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for about 5 years and got lazy. I do low Carb 15+/- 3 Net Carbs/day(My body seems to hang on to Carbs/not burn them),1000-1200 calories daily, 2 meals on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days (4, long hours) and I only exercise on my days off due to the long work days.
    Heaviest weight: 255 lbs, twice :-(

    9/14/20-255 lbs. Started a new job without a micromanager.
    5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
    5/14/21-232.2 lbs. Started MFP, low carb and calorie restricted diet while recovering. Actively trying to lose now.
    6/1/21-228.8 lbs
    7/1/21-222.2 lbs
    8/1/21-212 lbs
    9/1/21-200 lbs
    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    11/1/21-181.8 lbs
    12/1/21-176.2 lbs
    1/1/22-168 lbs
    2/1/22-157.4 lbs
    3/1/22-155 lbs
    4/1/22-156.4 lbs
    5/1/22-158.8 lbs :-(
    6/1/22-152.2 lbs :-)
    7/1/22-157.4 lbs :-(
    8/1/22-167.2 lbs :-(
    9/1/22-175.2 lbs :-( Bad couple of months.
    Current weight: 174.6 lbs (Lowest recent weight was 147.6 lbs on 4/6 & 4/7)
    September wt loss- -0.6 lbs

    Daily Goals:
    🌱Drink @ least 90 ounces of water
    🌱Plan meals and log in advance
    🌱Log honestly and consistently
    🌱Eat at or under my calorie goal
    🌼 Weigh in each morning
    🌼 Post each day under this challenge
    🌼 Continue weight lifting.
    🌼🌱🌱🌱🌱

    9/1/22- 175.2 lbs Here's to a better Autumn!
    9/2/22- 179.4 lbs :-( How one day can be such a big jump, must be water retention. Only 45 minutes/3.41 miles on my Elliptical. It kept seizing up on me. Hadn't happened before till 2-3 hours in. Guess it's about dead! Checked out another store today with ellipticals. Looked at Octane and Spirit brands today. Previously looked at PreCor and Matrix. Any insight from any of you would be appreciated. The repair guy that had come out 10 days ago said they see many repair needs on Matrix and very early on, that they shouldn't. And long waits for parts on them.
    9/3/22- 176.4 lbs
    9/4/22- 175 lbs 45 minutes on my elliptical while my roasted butternut squash was roasting. At a wedding today. Tried to be pretty careful and only take a taste of some of the items. Was a impromptu wedding, planned a couple weeks ago for a girl from work, who has been with her beau for 10 years. We all brought a side dish to share. It was very nice for going from a original zoom wedding a few weeks ago to this with a 5-10 minute discussion at a summer work party. As others have said, these things are hard to calculate calories. But I think I did fairly good other than the piece of cake. But you have to have some wedding cake!
    9/5/22- 177.2 lbs :-( Stayed true to my plan today. Wanted something sweet so I grabbed a keto chocolate hazelnut cup to stay on point.
    9/6/22- 176.2 lbs Still keeping on track. Did my Elliptical for 181 minutes/13.2 miles today. It hasn't bit the dust yet. Some squeaking but only occasionally. After a appointment at 3, I went out comparing different ellipticals. I need to get a new one sooner than later before it totally dies on me.
    9/7/22- 176.2 lbs
    9/8/22- 176.2 lbs :-( Was hoping for some movement. Stayed on plan, no cheating.

    9/9/22- 174.6 lbs :-) Finally!!! Downward movement helps me stay motivated & on track. Off today, did 181 minutes for 12.5 miles on my Elliptical.

    My September goals are to get more movement in on workdays-this is severely lacking and to be more mindful of self care.

    OSW: 250
    UGW: 150 ish
    9/30 GW: 208
    December 2022 GW: Onederland
    CW: 213.1

    9/1: 213.1
    9/2: 213.8
    9/3: 213.8 In the middle of August I dropped 4 pounds in 10 days. I’ve been this weight since 8/19. It’s frustrating but I know what the culprits are, not enough movement and too much stress. I’m trying to work on these this weekend.
    9/4: 213.1
    9/5: 212.6 Hello!
    9/6: 214.9 Yowch! In some serious pain, helping my parents pack and move all weekend has finally caught up with me. I am not in my 20s anymore!
    9/7: 213.9 Ups and downs
    9/8: 213.4 Bad sleep last night, lots of stress, feel like I will never get away from 213!
    9/9: DNW When I remembered the day was already half over. I’m really struggling with stress and my health has taken a back burner. I don’t like this

    About Me

    My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.

    My Goals

    My initial target is 100kg by the end of October, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too. My calorie intake target to achieve that is 1,200 - 1,300 calories/day.

    For September my goal is 101.8kg, a loss of 1.8kg (0.45kg or 1 lb/week), and a waist size of 42.5"

    Today's update:

    106.0 105.0 104.0 103.0 102.0. 101.0 100.0


    31/8:103.6kg. Calories 1206. Body Fat 33.7%
    1/9: 103.6kg. Calories 1310. Body Fat 34.2% Waist size 43.5”
    2/9: 103.0kg. Calories 1250. Body Fat 34.2%
    3/9: 103.1kg Calories 2078 Body Fat 34.2%
    4/9: Weight DNR [color-red]Calories 2204[/color] Body Fat DNR
    5/9: 103.7kg Calories 1810 Body Fat 32.4%
    6/9: 103.7kg Calories 1210 Body Fat 34.4%
    7/9: 103.7kg. Calories 1154 Body Fat 34.4%
    8/9: 103.5kg. Calories 2307 Body Fat 34.2%
    9/9: 103.1kg. Calories 613 Body Fat 34.9%
    10/9: 102.8. Calories 784 Body Fat 34.2%

    A good day yesterday, back to restricted calories and weight loss recovering. Broke through 103 barrier for first time.

    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.

    9/1/22- 175.2 lbs Here's to a better Autumn!
    9/2/22- 179.4 lbs :-( How one day can be such a big jump, must be water retention. Only 45 minutes/3.41 miles on my Elliptical. It kept seizing up on me. Hadn't happened before till 2-3 hours in. Guess it's about dead! Checked out another store today with ellipticals. Looked at Octane and Spirit brands today. Previously looked at PreCor and Matrix. Any insight from any of you would be appreciated. The repair guy that had come out 10 days ago said they see many repair needs on Matrix and very early on, that they shouldn't. And long waits for parts on them.
    9/3/22- 176.4 lbs
    9/4/22- 175 lbs 45 minutes on my elliptical while my roasted butternut squash was roasting. At a wedding today. Tried to be pretty careful and only take a taste of some of the items. Was a impromptu wedding, planned a couple weeks ago for a girl from work, who has been with her beau for 10 years. We all brought a side dish to share. It was very nice for going from a original zoom wedding a few weeks ago to this with a 5-10 minute discussion at a summer work party. As others have said, these things are hard to calculate calories. But I think I did fairly good other than the piece of cake. But you have to have some wedding cake!
    9/5/22- 177.2 lbs :-( Stayed true to my plan today. Wanted something sweet so I grabbed a keto chocolate hazelnut cup to stay on point.
    9/6/22- 176.2 lbs Still keeping on track. Did my Elliptical for 181 minutes/13.2 miles today. It hasn't bit the dust yet. Some squeaking but only occasionally. After a appointment at 3, I went out comparing different ellipticals. I need to get a new one sooner than later before it totally dies on me.
    9/7/22- 176.2 lbs
    9/8/22- 176.2 lbs :-( Was hoping for some movement. Stayed on plan, no cheating.
    9/9/22- 174.6 lbs :-) Finally!!! Downward movement helps me stay motivated & on track. Off today, did 181 minutes for 12.5 miles on my Elliptical.

    9/10/22- 173.6 lbs :-) Yes! 195 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.45 miles.

    About Me

    My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.

    My Goals

    My initial target is 100kg by the end of October, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too. My calorie intake target to achieve that is 1,200 - 1,300 calories/day
    9/9: 103.1kg. Calories 613 Body Fat 34.9%
    10/9: 102.8. Calories 784 Body Fat 34.2%

    A good day yesterday, back to restricted calories and weight loss recovering. Broke through 103 barrier for first time.

    @codsallI Concerned about such a low calorie intake. I understand why your doing it but still concerned it's too low.

    Hi there!
    My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
    I'm now in my maintenance range (160-165). I have learned so much about myself through this process!

    Sep 1 - 163 (I knew I had a long day at work so I got up before 5 to ride the Peloton. Work did go late, but I managed to fit a dog walk and a strength session in tonight as well. Feels good!)
    Sep 2 - 163.8 (Checking in from the back seat of my vehicle as we drive across two provinces of Canada to get to my Aunt's wedding.)
    Sep 3 - 162.8 (Hotel breakfast and then I hit the hotel gym for a treadmill session. Lunch was fairly indulgent and there is a reasonable amount of alcohol around for pre-wedding socializing. Trying to pace myself.)
    Sep 4 - 166.2
    Sep 5 - 166
    Sep 6 - 165.6 (We had a fantastic time at the wedding. Definitely ate and drank way too much BUT that's the good thing about daily weighing.. doesn't turn into a 3 month binge. We are back on the road home today so it's another 11 hour day in the car. Tomorrow we start driving west for my husband's bike race but we are breaking that drive up so tomorrow and Thursday's jaunts won't be such long days. Lots of car time means when I'm out of it I need to be moving!)
    Sep 7- 165.2 (Today we are driving west to Kamloops, BC. We are on our way to Vancouver for my husband's Gran Fondo on Saturday. I just had a diner meal that was much heavier than my normal choices. Getting a bit caught up in vacation mode decision making.)
    Sep 8 - 167 (Up and on the road again this afternoon. Almost in Vancouver. Tonight is the Bills home opener so we are going to go out to watch the game.)
    Sep 9 - 168.6 (We watched the Bills win and then went out for supper to an Italian restaurant. I track on holiday so the weight going up is expected based on the overconsumption. Unfortunately yesterday was a day of low movement as well.)
    Sep 10 - 171.4 (Started the day with a 60 minute Peloton app ride on the gym bike. Then I drove from Vancouver to Whistler in insanely bad traffic to cheer my husband on as he completed his second Gran Fondo of the season. We had an absolutely delicious meal out. The restaurant food has been very indulgent this trip.)

    Hi @swimmom_1 Thanks for caring. I've decided to go back to 1,200 calories a day from today and just accept that I'm a week behind my original target

    Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments on my daughter's wedding pics.

    To the people of England and to everyone across this great earth of ours, my Many Condolences, thoughts and Prayers on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. She impacted the world and will be Greatly missed.

    Thanks @deepwoodslady . The death of our much beloved Queen has been a real shock and time of sadness for all of us over here. She was such a marvellous example to all of us, and embodied goodness, grace, and kindness. She will be sadly missed.
