    Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January. I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. Back again this month! Thanks again Jill!

    June Goals

    March Loss - 5 Pounds
    April Loss - 8 Pounds
    May Loss - 5.2 Pounds

    Total weight lost to date: 32.2 Pounds
    Goal Weight - 160 (May change as I get closer)

    June 1 - 194.4 - My lowest weight in May was 194.2 - so not cheering yet.
    June 2 - 194 😁
    June 3 - 193.2 😁
    June 4 - 193 😁 - Very happy with this, went out for lunch yesterday, so expected to see a rise!
    June 5 - 192.6 😁
    June 6 - 191.6 😁
    June 7 - 191.6 :|
    Junr 8 - 191 😁 Don't know it's happening, but I'll take it while it lasts.
    June 9 - 191.8 ☹️ I guess I shouldn't be that unhappy - I had a lot of smiles lately.
    Jun 10 - 192.8 ☹️ Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge.
    Jun 11 - 192.8 😁 Well got that badge yesterday; 25,789 steps! My goal is to only use 1/2 of calories gained by exercise, did that. Drank all my water. I also rmet the 1,000 miles in 2023 milestone. I will be over halfway there today. So, I took a smile today. Somethings gotta happen! Maybe there will be a big swish tomorrow.
    Jun 12 - :| 192.4 Not a big swish, but at least I'm down from yesterday.
    Jun 13 - 191.8 :| Making my way back slowly but surely.
    Jun 14 - 191.6
    Jun 15 - 191.2
    Jun 16 - 189.6 😁 Made it there. Hoping I can keep it there; It's going to be a challenging couple of days. Having lunch with my old work buddies today, then my daughter is coming over tonight to take us out to dinner to celebrate Father's day. Two outings in one day! We'll probably go out for breakfast on Saturday too before she goes back home. I'm going to have a good time, but hopefully make some wise choices and get a walk in before and after my lunch date.
    Jun 17 - 191 - Well is was a short stay, but hoping to relocate there for a longer stay this week! It is what I expected, so not disappointed. Had a wonderful day visiting my old work friends. They are all still there; reminded me how fortunate I am to have retired (they ciomplained a lot - LOL). Then had a nice dinner with my daughter and hubby. He decided he wanted to eat in, get pizza. She made a great dessert. I did stay within my calorie limit all day, but the sodium levels from lunch and pizza werre off the charts. Out for breakfast this morning to Hubby's favorite breakfast spot, then I'm back to the grindstone.
    Jun 18 - 190.6
    Jun 19 - 190.6 - Still struggling to see the 180s again. Beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination!
    Jun 20 - 190.4 -Still haning on to those 90s!
    Jun 21 - 190.4 - We have a small vacation coming up July 7-10 (Nashville) so I am going to go above and beyond for the next couple of weeks. I usually use 1/2 of my earned calories from exercise - going to shoot for not using them at all and see if that gets me out of the 90s. Don't get me wrong, the 1990s were good years (that's when my daughter was born), but the 80s were fun times (my twenty years).
    Jun 22 - DWN -Don't Wanna Know! Trivia night last night, was under my calorie range for the day, but the salt from the pizza! We tied for first place, but lost the tie breaker so got second. I don't have any othre committments or distractions until our trip, so time to focus, focus, focus.
    Jun 23 - 190.4
    Jun 24 - 190.6 It appears that I am stuck, but something has to give and it won't be my motivation to get there.
    Jun 25 - 190 - Finally! Hope I see the 80s tomorrow!

    Hi, Everyone! I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism. Nothing has been consistent in my life for a while now and it is reflecting on the scale.

    6/01 - 192.6
    6/02 - 190.9
    6/03 - 191.4
    6/04 - 191.5
    6/05 - DNW - lost job.
    6/06 - 191.4
    6/07 - 191.6 - Mini-binge.
    6/08 - 191.8
    6/09 - 190.6
    6/10 - 191.6 - Mini-binge again
    6/11 - 189.9
    6/12 - 191.6 - I had a good day yesterday. I'll focus on that and not the bump back up.
    6/13 - 190.5- So close to the 80's club...
    6/14 - 188.3
    6/15 - 188.5 - Busy day hosting my daughter's 7th bday but happy to have my own '80s celebration!
    6/16 - 187.8
    6/17 - 189.8 - I am wishfully hoping this is sodium bloat from popcorn I over-snacked on.
    6/18 - 188.9
    6/19 - 188.8
    6/20 - 188.9
    6/21 - 189.5 - Hubby's dinners have been loading me up with too many carbs.
    6/22 - 189.9 - Hubby and I went out for a date finally and enjoyed a good meal and a beer.
    6/23 - 190.9 - Assuming this is from the last few meals.
    6/24 - 190.6 - Ugh. Is the body fighting me to return to the 90's where it has been forever?
    6/25 - 190.0
    6/25 - 190.5 - I have this figured out, I think. While my eating habits have not changed, my exercise routine for the past week and half has. First, I apparently pushed myself too hard throwing the rugby ball with my girls and hurt my upper arms. Then, I apparently pushed myself too hard and developed shin splints. Lastly, I was rearranging furniture and tweaked my back. I now have sciatica. I have started PT. The therapist does not know what is wrong with my arms as they are popping in a place that does not have a joint. While I have been managing the mental and physical pain well, the lack of movement I think is the cause for the uptick, as I have not been burning the calories that I had been. I am trying not to lose hope that one day, I will find a proper job and will also not be in pain.

    @BittersweetVita Well done on focusing on the analytics....any post on here that begins with "I have this figured out, I think" is a good one! I can relate to your situation somewhat. My knee is still sore, which means I cannot go for a walk to burn calories! I hope that your PT goes well and you get some physical relief soon.

    06/25-196.6-(Trend Weight 196.9)- Downward on the weight but the trend weight has caught up with me. I am starting some beginner strength training as a mini-challenge in another challenge that I’m in. I am upper body weak for sure! I am still trying to work my way into the 180’s. I’ll probably be the very last in “the club” to get there, but get there I will!

    06/26-198.0-(Trend Weight 197.0)- Pizza dinner last night with my foodie daughter and family. Hopefully this gain is more sodium related and less actual weight gain. We’ll see. I did my 5 minute strength training last night. It’s short but it’s a start! I stuck to all hand weights. I’ll rotate in bands and band loops here and there. I think this is really important for “seniors” like me.

Luckily it was all hands on deck with the puppies. My son had to carry Nova outside over the roof debris to use the bathroom. She’s getting so big!!
    9: 198.5
    10: 198.1
    11: 198.4
    12: 199.4…time to stop the creep back. My Father-in-Law’s 85th celebration was great. He is currently building a canoe in his workshop. I just love how active he is. I overindulged in cookies and birthday cake though and tonight we’re having a work dinner at a restaurant in Ann Arbor. I just have to keep it in check. No alcohol tonight since I’m such a light weight with drinks and I have a 45-60 minute drive home. Plus, alcohol makes me sleepy. Happy Monday!
    13: 199.5… no alcohol last night and was home by 9:30pm. Today I’m playing with my new hedge trimmers…. I should have taken a before picture!
    14: 199.4 😁
    15: 200.6
    16: 201.0
    17: 200.6… yes, I’m back into the 200’s but just barely… I’m not too worried… just have to keep Golden Oreos out of the house!!
    18: 200.2 moving back in the right direction. ❤️
    19: 201… 🤨…hmm…
    20: 200… 🥰

    Thank you so much! Yes, May and June have been good. I set my goals kind of high. But I’m happy with anything honestly. Even if it just stays the same, I know I am maintaining :)

    Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January.

    Total weight lost to date: 32.2 Pounds
    Goal Weight - 160 (May change as I get closer)

    June 1 - 194.4 - My lowest weight in May was 194.2 - so not cheering yet.
    June 2 - 194 😁
    June 3 - 193.2 😁
    June 4 - 193 😁 - Very happy with this, went out for lunch yesterday, so expected to see a rise!
    June 5 - 192.6 😁
    June 6 - 191.6 😁
    June 7 - 191.6 :|
    Junr 8 - 191 😁 Don't know it's happening, but I'll take it while it lasts.
    June 9 - 191.8 ☹️ I guess I shouldn't be that unhappy - I had a lot of smiles lately.
    Jun 10 - 192.8 ☹️ Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge.
    Jun 11 - 192.8 😁 Well got that badge yesterday; 25,789 steps! My goal is to only use 1/2 of calories gained by exercise, did that. Drank all my water. I also rmet the 1,000 miles in 2023 milestone. I will be over halfway there today. So, I took a smile today. Somethings gotta happen! Maybe there will be a big swish tomorrow.
    Jun 12 - :| 192.4 Not a big swish, but at least I'm down from yesterday.
    Jun 13 - 191.8 :| Making my way back slowly but surely.
    Jun 14 - 191.6
    Jun 15 - 191.2
    Jun 16 - 189.6 😁 Made it there. Hoping I can keep it there; It's going to be a challenging couple of days. Having lunch with my old work buddies today, then my daughter is coming over tonight to take us out to dinner to celebrate Father's day. Two outings in one day! We'll probably go out for breakfast on Saturday too before she goes back home. I'm going to have a good time, but hopefully make some wise choices and get a walk in before and after my lunch date.
    Jun 17 - 191 - Well is was a short stay, but hoping to relocate there for a longer stay this week! It is what I expected, so not disappointed. Had a wonderful day visiting my old work friends. They are all still there; reminded me how fortunate I am to have retired (they ciomplained a lot - LOL). Then had a nice dinner with my daughter and hubby. He decided he wanted to eat in, get pizza. She made a great dessert. I did stay within my calorie limit all day, but the sodium levels from lunch and pizza werre off the charts. Out for breakfast this morning to Hubby's favorite breakfast spot, then I'm back to the grindstone.
    Jun 18 - 190.6
    Jun 19 - 190.6 - Still struggling to see the 180s again. Beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination!
    Jun 20 - 190.4 -Still haning on to those 90s!
    Jun 21 - 190.4 - We have a small vacation coming up July 7-10 (Nashville) so I am going to go above and beyond for the next couple of weeks. I usually use 1/2 of my earned calories from exercise - going to shoot for not using them at all and see if that gets me out of the 90s. Don't get me wrong, the 1990s were good years (that's when my daughter was born), but the 80s were fun times (my twenty years).
    Jun 22 - DWN -Don't Wanna Know! Trivia night last night, was under my calorie range for the day, but the salt from the pizza! We tied for first place, but lost the tie breaker so got second. I don't have any othre committments or distractions until our trip, so time to focus, focus, focus.
    Jun 23 - 190.4
    Jun 24 - 190.6 It appears that I am stuck, but something has to give and it won't be my motivation to get there.
    Jun 25 - 190 - Finally! Hope I see the 80s tomorrow!
    Jun 26 - 190.2 - Self sabatoged yesterday; actually better than I thought it would be. A new day, a new week.
    Jun 27 - 189.6 😁 Yahoo! Now to keep it in the 80s for a while!
