My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan 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 July 31st): 193.8
Goal: 189.8 (Four lb Loss)
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.

08/06-197.6-(Trend Weight 195.6)-
08/07-195.8-(Trend Weight 195.6)- I am so glad to see the scale moving back down today. I must have been retaining some fluid because no TMI. Putting my feet up to drain my ankles is really helping. I’ve been working on cleaning up/organizing the basement which has me moving up & down the stairs along with some heavy lifting. But I am pacing myself and working on it a bit everyday so I don’t cause right arm lymphedema issues. I am still up 2 lbs from starting weight this round. I really need to get more pink ink on this page. I have my work cut out for me.
08/08-194.6-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Another good day for the books. I am just 0.4 above my starting weight. I don’t know if I can drop yet again on another overnight to at least break even this round. I’m really paying for the 3 days of irresponsibility. The travel day, the festival day and the cereal binge day. I danced for 32 minutes last night but my water intake was low. I’ll try working on that today. I’m going to pre-log my foods again. That seems to really help me stay on track. I just gotta watch it when the night monsters come out teasing of off-plan snacks!

@fourathomej, @deepwoodslady, and @Buckeyebabe7l7 Thanks for the birthday wishes - made me smile.

I really struggled today to get the steps I got and my walk in...I am just feeling completely drained. I changed something in my normal weekly diet and I wonder if that is it. I have decided to cut it out and go back to my normal routine and hopefully that will help. This Nana has to have energy to keep up with all her grands. I can't keep up on a daily basis if I have little to no energy.2 -

08/09-194.6-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Wow! I almost didn’t have time to jump onto MFP today. Oldest daughter over this morning (shame on her for bringing chocolate chunk zucchini bread to go with our coffee from zucchini fresh from her garden). She is not the one that is usually the foodie. She loves to cook though but is always watching her weight like me. Then a contracter came for 3 hours going over all the projects in my house. He’ll be back Friday to start working on some small repairs, tying up some loose ends etc. as he works out quotes for the bigger jobs. Then I had to run out of town (about 60 miles each way) for something he needs Friday. Can’t go tomorrow due to long hair appointment. I’m hoping, still yet, to get on my exercise bike but we’ll see how I feel after my posts. I do need to burn some of the “bad” carbs and calories I ate today. In any case, I will be doing a little strength training tonight.

Mary here checking in while on a mini-break from my beautiful but cold coastal city. I am shifting my attention to getting all my food groups and staying hydrated and getting steps. Weighed in at 171 this morning, felt discouraged, decided to make a change and celebrate all the daily required servings of fruit and veg & not focus on Ketosis and IF quite so much. Thank you for encouragement not sure how to properly send that thanks yet will figure it out.2

@ddainiak - oh my goodness, Happy Belated Birthday!! Love everyone's rain pictures!2

I am a 5'4", 46 year-old married female with four kids. There is a lot totally out of my control right now, but I am trying to find ways to manage what I can control...and get ready for the start of a new school year for my kids. I am so grateful for this wonderfully supportive group!
Goals for August:
Take it one day at a time by logging and checking in daily.
Daily steps goal: 8K to start
Weight Tracking for August:
8/01: 184.5?
8/02: DNW
8/03: DNW
8/04: DNW - 8060 steps
8/05: 181.2 - 5K steps
8/06: 183 - 5K steps - late night snacks and wine from a get together with our neighbors.
8/07: 181.9 - 12763 steps - my part-time job is a lot of moving!
8/08: DNW
8/09: 184.1
8/10: 184.1 - Late shifts at my job are leading again to poor eating choices and habits. I am sure the sodium content has a lot to do with this uptick and also not drinking enough water. Also, the band of my gifted Fitbit broke and apparently no stores around me sell a band for it, so I have to face my fears and learn to order online! Lol!2 -

08/09-194.6-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Wow! I almost didn’t have time to jump onto MFP today. Oldest daughter over this morning (shame on her for bringing chocolate chunk zucchini bread to go with our coffee from zucchini fresh from her garden). She is not the one that is usually the foodie. She loves to cook though but is always watching her weight like me. Then a contracter came for 3 hours going over all the projects in my house. He’ll be back Friday to start working on some small repairs, tying up some loose ends etc. as he works out quotes for the bigger jobs. Then I had to run out of town (about 60 miles each way) for something he needs Friday. Can’t go tomorrow due to long hair appointment. I’m hoping, still yet, to get on my exercise bike but we’ll see how I feel after my posts. I do need to burn some of the “bad” carbs and calories I ate today. In any case, I will be doing a little strength training tonight.
08/10-195.2-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Scale is up 0.6 lbs but trend weight is stable. The chocolate chunk fresh zucchini bread was delicious but now it’s gone so today should be okay. Hair dresser appointment today for a perm so I can look like I have some sort of fullness to my ever-thinning hair. I got a good phone call from my oncologist. The CT results came up stable meaning the nodule on my lung is not growing or showing behaviors of cancer (still). Yay! Next stop is the mammogram and oncology appointment at the University Hospital at the end of the month for the normal routine breast cancer stuff. Hopefully I’m still in remission.

@deepwoodslady Great news! Positive thoughts that everything goes well at the end of the month. 🙏
@BittersweetVita You can do it. Once you buy online you'll never look back. But here's some info if you are only using it to count your steps.Keeping tracker in pocket generally gives reasonably accurate step count, sometimes better than on wrist, depending on arm movements. But there is no way it can detect heart rate without being next to skin.2 -
My name is Kelly. I am 52 and watch my grandkids 5 days a week. I watch 4 of them 5 days a weeks and 6 on Wednesdays so I keep busy with babies all week. They are all 3yrs and under. I weigh weekly. This daily group accountability is awesome! I absolutely love this group.

Walk for 30 minutes a day 6 days a week
Log all my food daily
Hit at least 10,000 steps 6 days a week
Hit 100lb weight loss this month

As you all know I am in the Hogwarts challenge and love it. I joined the Biggest Loser Challenge the last round. It's a lot less intense than the Hogwarts challenge, but I really liked it too - (so much that I became a co-captain of the Desert Tortoises - YIKES). The next round starts on August 25, and runs 12 weeks. If you are looking for something to keep you motivated, I think it helps a lot. Here's the link to join if you are interested.

So I am starting today. Good luck to everyone too !

Aug 8 - 185 My own doing. My sister brought cake to Bingo with Mom night for my birthday (yup turned 63 today) and I ate more than I should. Also rained yesterday and didn't get my steps in. All around not a good day. Today my daughter is taking me out for lunch, but am going to try to stay in check the rest of the day. Hoping for a quick turn around.
Aug 9 - 184 😁 Had a really nice day. Started the day with my usual walk "after" the rain. Half way through it poured, was kind of refreshing and made us laugh. My daughter took us out for a nice lunch, and then just a quiet day at home the rest of the day. Tonight is Trivia night. We haven't been in a long time, so really looking forward to it.
Aug 10 - 184.2 4th Place in Trivia; waitress must have known that I was on a diet - never brought our dinners - just the salad! But - she brought me two beers I didn't order - yes I drank them. HA!

Well, I tried to follow the instructions this morning at 5am and I think I was too tired because I'm pretty sure I messed it up. I followed the link and instead of putting in "registered" I gave a reason why I wanted to join and then pressed enter....and then I realized what I did wrong. Oh well, maybe next time.1
