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!

Leaving for vacation today! Rain is predicted the first day but sunny and mid-70’s the rest of the time! I don’t know if I’ll log in or not. I don’t know if there is a scale there or not but I kind of hope not! 😎
@joans1976 Happy travels north!

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!

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.

08/05-196.6-(Trend Weight 195.4)-
08/06-197.6-(Trend Weight 195.6)- Up a full pound from a full-on binge of sweets (cereal). I’ll be tiptoeing around food all day today. Very short on water yesterday too. I’ll work on that and also will try to get some indoor exercise in. It’s a rainy day. Suffering with a stress induced headache right now from gritting and grinding teeth. It’s just not a good day.
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.

I started with this group in July. I am Mary, 69 years old, CW 170 lbs, GW 150, or maybe UGW 140. It would be great if my blood pressure improved with weight loss. I've lost 15 lbs this year, and lost another 6 but gained it back after a trip and haven't been able to get back down to 164. Logging and weighing might help me see how to make more progress. MFP isn't easy for me to work with but I'm starting to get used to it -- I'll be putting in my daily weight and checking for any change in my measurements. Still trying EF 16/8 with Keto but not married to it, if I don't make progress. I am coming to believe exercise is the missing component for me, and I'm working on regaining strength from long-lasting leg and ankle problems resulting from Guillain-Barre syndrome so I can get more steps.
I'm trying to eat way more vegetables! I know, I'm boring, but don't blame the veggies; they are so tasty.
Adding steps here because: exercise. I don’t see how to add steps per se on MFP so I do a fiddly thing with approximating walking speed and duration of walk which is odd.

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!

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.
To give you all a chuckle!
@fourathomej, @deepwoodslady, and @Buckeyebabe7l7 Thanks for the birthday wishes - made me smile.
@deepwoodslady - It's just the beginning of the month. I see you breaking even very soon and recording a very pink month as we go forward.
