    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.

    09/15-200.2-(Trend Weight 199.0)-

    09/16-199.0-(Trend Weight 199.0)- I could have done much better yesterday. Followed my food plan very well until bedtime TV time. Then I had milk and some leftover sidedish from dinner for a snack which put me over. Also, I planned on starting some exercise but didn’t as I ended up babysitting unexpectedly for a couple hours last night until 9:30 pm. That is usually exercise enough! It’s nice to see the scale back under 200 so I’ll call myself satisfied for today. I’m planning an excellent day today. I always babysit on Fridays so he’ll keep me on my toes! He’s the one you saw in the wedding pic. Don’t let that sweet smile fool ya!

    09/17-198.4-(Trend Weight 199.0)- My daughter got off work early so I only had to babysit in the morning. I took my son to lunch locally with a friend and her son. I finished my plate which I have taught myself not to do (usually). After breaking that good habit, I came home and was extra careful for the rest of the day knowing I could not afford many of my usual choices. Another good habit put into practice! It helped. Scale down ½ pound but trend weight is keeping a careful eye on me and doesn’t trust me. I get it.

    🌼🌱🌱🌱🌱

    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.
    9/11/22- 173.6 lbs :-| 185 minutes on my elliptical for 12.76 miles.
    9/12/22- 173.6 lbs :-|
    9/13/22- 174.2 lbs:( Didnt get into my driveway from work till 9:02 PM from 6:15 AM. Ate some cashews that I keep in my car for my dinner on the drive home. Came into the house, showered and went to bed. No time to post.
    9/14/22- 173 lbs :-)
    9/15/22- 171.2 lbs :-) Best motivator ever to stay on point!!!! Off today and tomorrow but have to babysit both days, so I need to be careful without doing my elliptical workouts as my norm.
    9/16/22- 173.2 lbs :-(

    9/17/22- 176.2 lbs

    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

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

    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
    9/10: 214.9 Lots of stress and had to eat out yesterday which I never do and that’s a lot of sodium. Hopefully some yoga this weekend.
    9/11: 213.1
    I got some yoga in yesterday which was nice, more for stress relief and stretching than calorie burn. I have some other self care planned today.
    I’m in the US so am remembering all we lost so tragically 21 years ago.
    9/12: 212.1 A little frustrating as I’ve only lost 1 pound this month and that’s not the rate I’ve been losing at for the past 5 months. However, I had some really stressful days this month and wasn’t able to be as active and I think stress causes me to retain water. I’m hoping for an easier October!
    9/13: 210.7.
    Last nights sleep debacle makes sense now, I was up so many times to relieve myself and it’s showing on the scale. I’m hoping my body is letting go of some (or all) of its stress while letting go of it’s water.
    9/14: 210.7
    9/15: 210.7
    9/16: 211.2
    9/17: 209.4
    This is exciting, to be in a new decade (wish I had that nifty little scratch off thing @deepwoodslady has.) Getting some exercise and self care in this weekend.

No water pill yesterday, no TMI this morning or any other “helpful” things. I think I was very low on water yesterday while I was so busy. Could be a bit of dehydration as it was all coffee and very little water. I guess we shall see. So hungry this morning, typical after a drop. Come to think of it, I did hit 6 hours of sleep last night which is phenomenal for me.

    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.)
    Sep 11 - DNW (ATV trip today. Enjoying coffee on our patio before we go.)
    Sep 12 - DNW (Today we leave Whistler and head towards Victoria for a funeral tomorrow. We will see what activities we get up to on the way.)
    Sep 13 - 172.6 (In Victoria, BC where I have not been in well over 15 years. Leaving shortly for the celebration of life.)
    Sep 14 - 171.4
    Sep 15 - 170.4
    Sep 16 - 170.8 (We are driving East now with our final stop of the vacation planned for Penticton, BC before we head home Sunday.)
    Sep 17 - 172.4
    Sep 18 - 174.4 (We are driving home today and back to work tomorrow. We live in a beautiful country. Our vacation was full of many lovely memories.)

    Starting to get back to healthy amount of calories and tracking calories again. Started the gym again, muscles still hurt a tiny bit from 2 days ago, ready to go to gym again today and start walking again. Going hog hunting October 22nd so wanted to be stronger for that (we eat the meat, giant extra freezer). Have high triglycerides and diabetes and Hashimotos so would like to get rid of some meds.

    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!

    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 195.0
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    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.

    09/18-195.4-(Trend Weight 198.6)- I had a very good day with diet choices. Worked hard going thru closets and drawers throughout the house (not done yet), but I am still surprised at the drop. No water pill yesterday, no TMI this morning or any other “helpful” things. I think I was very low on water yesterday while I was so busy. Could be a bit of dehydration as it was all coffee and very little water. I guess we shall see. So hungry this morning, typical after a drop. Come to think of it, I did hit 6 hours of sleep last night which is phenomenal for me.

    09/19-197.8-(Trend Weight 198.5)- Hmph….Best day in a long time. Dietary was perfect. Added some exercise yesterday including a hike along the river with my son. I didn’t understand the big drop yesterday so I suppose this big increase today is a balancing of the books. I did about half my usual hike. When I got to the biggest hill I had to turn around as my breathing was already labored. But it felt great to get out in the woods and on the trail. I would push water today but when I do it just pools at my ankles and doesn’t help the scale. But it does help with my frequent dehydration so……. Choices, choices.

    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.)
    Sep 11 - DNW (ATV trip today. Enjoying coffee on our patio before we go.)
    Sep 12 - DNW (Today we leave Whistler and head towards Victoria for a funeral tomorrow. We will see what activities we get up to on the way.)
    Sep 13 - 172.6 (In Victoria, BC where I have not been in well over 15 years. Leaving shortly for the celebration of life.)
    Sep 14 - 171.4
    Sep 15 - 170.4
    Sep 16 - 170.8 (We are driving East now with our final stop of the vacation planned for Penticton, BC before we head home Sunday.)
    Sep 17 - 172.4
    Sep 18 - 174.4 (We are driving home today and back to work tomorrow. We live in a beautiful country. Our vacation was full of many lovely memories.)
    Sep 19 - 173.6 (Back to work and back to routine. Husband is on a business trip. I will get on the Peloton after the football game.)

    @tassieboy If I remember correctly don’t you work a desk job? How is Steptember going?

    That's right. I'm a software developer (also writer, podcaster, so everything I like involves sitting, hence the need to be deliberate)

    September is largely going pretty good. I'm getting my 10,000 steps basically every day (sometimes as much as 14,000)

    Weight has been a little up and down with celebrating my wife's birthday etc. but I'm so very close to having lost 10kg (22 pounds)

    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:

    At last some downward movement. Back on track to hit my goal by the end of October. Away on retreat for a week from today, so no internet, scales, or idea about what calories I’m consuming. Monastery is vegetarian so a big change to my diet.

    I am late to the game, but weigh every day due to heart failure and fluid issues. I am finally making a daily weight check part of my morning routine (It had been doctors advice for a couple of years now but I just could not get in the routine of it)

    For reference, I am 55f, 5'11" tall, and August 1st got back to a low carb menu in my house after losing a bunch and gaining it back 2 years ago.

    SEPTEMBER GOALS (DAILY):
    ⚖️ Weigh in

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

    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
    9/10: 214.9 Lots of stress and had to eat out yesterday which I never do and that’s a lot of sodium. Hopefully some yoga this weekend.
    9/11: 213.1
    I got some yoga in yesterday which was nice, more for stress relief and stretching than calorie burn. I have some other self care planned today.
    I’m in the US so am remembering all we lost so tragically 21 years ago.
    9/12: 212.1 A little frustrating as I’ve only lost 1 pound this month and that’s not the rate I’ve been losing at for the past 5 months. However, I had some really stressful days this month and wasn’t able to be as active and I think stress causes me to retain water. I’m hoping for an easier October!
    9/13: 210.7.
    Last nights sleep debacle makes sense now, I was up so many times to relieve myself and it’s showing on the scale. I’m hoping my body is letting go of some (or all) of its stress while letting go of it’s water.
    9/14: 210.7
    9/15: 210.7
    9/16: 211.2
    9/17: 209.4
    This is exciting, to be in a new decade! Getting some exercise and self care in this weekend.
    9/18: 209.4
    9/19: 209.4
    Well, hello Monday….so we meet again.

    My start weight today is 189 lbs. My goal is to get back to 180 lbs.
    September 1: 189 lbs
    September 7: 186 lbs. Wednesday regular weigh-in. So down 3lbs have 6 more to go.
    September 8: 186 lbs
    September 9: 184.5 lbs
    September 10:
    September 11: 193.5 lbs
    No typo. How do I gain 9lbs in less than 48 hours. Food intake the same. This can be so discouraging. I am lost for words.
    September 12: 193 lbs
    September 13: 188 lbs
    September 14: 185.5 lbs Well it took 3 days to go down 8lbs. Sometimes I wonder if Daily tracking is helpful. But knowledge is power.

    09/19-197.8-(Trend Weight 198.5)- Hmph….
    09/20-199.0-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Definitely taking my water pill today. Couldn’t yesterday due to having to run too many errands. Ankles are tight and shiny. Weight is up on the scale. Bad sleep last night, not feeling so hot today. Travel tomorrow to the hospital for some testing. I’ll be getting a Doppler on my legs to check for blockages due to their inability to get a pulse in my left foot and symptoms showing up in my right. I will also be getting another EKG because my breathing has not improved since the stent was placed in my heart. They are doublechecking blood flow before my pulmonary testing in Oct. I am not going to let my health stop me, instead I am letting it motivate me.

    09/21-198.8-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Handyman never showed up yesterday so I traveled to pick up our eyeglasses with my son. Lunch out of fried foods at a Dairy Queen style place. I avoided the ice cream. That’s big for me. Travel again today for the medical tests. I don’t think I’ll ever get to take that water pill. Ankles tighter and shinier. Anyway, I’ve discovered Poshmark! What a motivator!

    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.)
    Sep 11 - DNW (ATV trip today. Enjoying coffee on our patio before we go.)
    Sep 12 - DNW (Today we leave Whistler and head towards Victoria for a funeral tomorrow. We will see what activities we get up to on the way.)
    Sep 13 - 172.6 (In Victoria, BC where I have not been in well over 15 years. Leaving shortly for the celebration of life.)
    Sep 14 - 171.4
    Sep 15 - 170.4
    Sep 16 - 170.8 (We are driving East now with our final stop of the vacation planned for Penticton, BC before we head home Sunday.)
    Sep 17 - 172.4
    Sep 18 - 174.4 (We are driving home today and back to work tomorrow. We live in a beautiful country. Our vacation was full of many lovely memories.)
    Sep 19 - 173.6 (Back to work and back to routine. Husband is on a business trip. I will get on the Peloton after the football game.)
    Sep 20 - 172.6 (Had to work through my lunch break but I got on the Peloton tonight and took my dog for a short walk too so my exercise turned out fine. Food is under too.)
    Sep 21 - 172.4 (Today I donated blood on my lunch break so I've been taking it easy otherwise. Work was busy and after work I got my stuff done as quickly as I could around home so I can just enjoy my husband's company when he gets home from his business trip.)

    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
    9/10: 214.9 Lots of stress and had to eat out yesterday which I never do and that’s a lot of sodium. Hopefully some yoga this weekend.
    9/11: 213.1
    I got some yoga in yesterday which was nice, more for stress relief and stretching than calorie burn. I have some other self care planned today.
    I’m in the US so am remembering all we lost so tragically 21 years ago.
    9/12: 212.1 A little frustrating as I’ve only lost 1 pound this month and that’s not the rate I’ve been losing at for the past 5 months. However, I had some really stressful days this month and wasn’t able to be as active and I think stress causes me to retain water. I’m hoping for an easier October!
    9/13: 210.7.
    Last nights sleep debacle makes sense now, I was up so many times to relieve myself and it’s showing on the scale. I’m hoping my body is letting go of some (or all) of its stress while letting go of it’s water.
    9/14: 210.7
    9/15: 210.7
    9/16: 211.2
    9/17: 209.4
    This is exciting, to be in a new decade ) Getting some exercise and self care in this weekend.
    9/18: 209.4
    9/19: 209.4
    Well, hello Monday….so we meet again.
    9/20: 208.4
    9/21: 208.4
    9/22: 207.9

    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.

Anyway, I’ve discovered Poshmark! What a motivator!

    09/22-199.2-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Home today so hopefully I will keep the diet reigned in. More travel tomorrow is expected if my special order from Home Depot arrives at store. My older girlfriend will travel with me and I will take her shopping while out of town. I am so glad to see I am staying in Onederland, even in spite of everything. Very motivating! I ended up having an echocardiogram (ultra sound of heart) yesterday. I had it all mixed up (thought it was just an EKG) so there will likely be more answers coming. Also had the leg dopplers. I await results.

    * Be more deliberate about exercise, especially little exercises during the work day (I sit at a desk all day)

    30 / 7: 142.7 kg
    30 / 8: 136.3 kg
    01 / 9: 135.4 kg
    02 / 9: 135.2 kg

    17 / 09: 133.1 kg
    18 / 09: 134.9 kg (Yikes!)
    19 / 09: 133.5 kg
    20 / 09: 132.5 kg
    21 / 09: 133.5 kg
    22 / 09: 134.2 kg
    23 / 09: 135.3 kg (Okay, I've really got to get back to being good. This is getting alarming. All my hard work going up in smoke)
