Thanks everyone for your kind words. Feel like I’m starting over again even though it’s only 5 lbs.2

Sept. 1- 141.0 I logged
Sept. 2- 139.2 I logged
Sept. 3- 138.6 I logged I think I'm experiencing some quick weight loss that can happen when I simply start watching what I eat and drinking more water.... Nice to see; it will probably steady out.
Sept. 4- 138.8 I logged A potluck yesterday and out to a restaurant today; determined to log
Sept. 5- 139.4 I liked yesterday's weight better. Oh well, keep moving forward.
Sept. 6- 138.8 I logged! Did not finish logging yesterday. It was cycle day 1 and I totally blew it on calories. Next time I plan to adjust my calorie goal to maintenance on cycle day 1... maybe that will help...
Sept. 7- 138.0 I logged MIL cooked a big huge dinner for us, with dessert... I went over on calories, but logged anyway.
Sept.8- 138.2 I logged
Sept. 9- 138.0 I logged
Sept. 10- 138.2 I logged potluck... kinda hard to log, but I logged anyway. I think I ate at maintenance.
Sept. 11- 138.0
Sept. 12- 138.6
Sept. 13- 138.0 I logged
Sept. 14- 138.2. I did not finish logging. MIL cooked for us again... whoa, she is such a good cook. How am I ever going to lose weight with these dinners she cooks for us?
Sept. 15- 137.4. I logged That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!
Sept. 16- 136.4 I logged Yesssss! Now to just stay 136ish to the end of the month!
Sept. 17- 136.6 Two social functions this afternoon/evening; I won't log today. I'll just pick back up tomorrow.
Sept. 18- 137.8 Not surprised in the increase. Surely all the social eating w/out logging would show up. My goal is to log every day for the rest of the month, including any potlucks/social gatherings/grandma dinners/etc!!
Sept. 19- 138.6
Sept. 20- 138.8
Sept. 21- 137.4 Got really discouraged yesterday. I guess I'll keep trying......
Sept. 22- 137.8
Sept. 23- 137.4
Sept. 24-3 -

Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.
Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7
September Goals:
Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day
1 Sep: 207.1
2 Sep: 206.6
3 Sep: 207.1 - We had chips+ with our salads yesterday. Still logged it all, but knew the number would go up. Also entering cycle bloat, so this will fluctuate over the next week. Cycles are in sometimes mode, and irregular with M, so who knows right now. : )
4 Sep: 208.6 - Bloat + an open bag of pretzels. But it's back to food & exercise plan today.
5 Sep: 207.6
6 Sep: 206.7
7 Sep: 206.8
8 Sep: 206.9
9 Sep: 208.2 -- Pizza & sodium. I haven't had pizza in weeks and to be honest, when we went to bed last night, both my husband and I felt gross after greasy food and we both said we're looking forward to salads tomorrow. This morning I'm going to Instapot a bunch of chicken breasts that we can use on salads and in soup for the week ahead. I'm glad we've detoxed enough to notice how less healthy food feels when we have it. It's been a while since we could tell the difference.
10 Sep: 208.1
11 Sep: 209.8
12 Sep: 207.9
13 Sep: 207.7
14 Sep: 206.6
15 Sep: 205.8
16 Sep: 205.9
17 Sep: 207.3
18 Sep: 207.2
19 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
20 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
21 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
22 Sep: 208.3 - Ok with this number. This will come down as TMI evens out, salts decrease, back to standard foods, etc.
23 Sep: 207.2 - I'm hoping we can do healthy, low sodium meals for a bit here, so I can get back to that 205 number before the end of the month. I know it's only 2 lbs, but it's 2 lbs.

Hello! I'm new to this group but love the idea of a daily check in. Daily weigh-ins aren't great for my mental health, but I want to be better about setting monthly goals and building up my consistency.
My name is Breannah, I'm 40 with a wonderful husband and two kids. I'm looking forward to checking in with everyone!
My goals are to work out 3x per week, track my food daily, drink 64oz of water a day, and practice something creative one day a week (like crocheting or baking).
I really struggle to get my water intake - I would love to hear what works for everyone!3 -
@breannah_allen Welcome to this wonderful group. You don't need to check-in with your "weight" every day - just check in with how your are doing. Some only look at their weight weekly - what ever works for you!3

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!

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.

09/21-187.6-(Trend Weight 191.2)-
09/22-188.0-(Trend Weight 190.9)- I don’t always understand these weight fluctuations. I had to add fake calories when closing out last night just to reach the 1000 that MFP requires to close. Sometimes when you are watching carbs too it is difficult to get in enough calories. However, I will admit that my choices weren’t BAD per se, but they could have been a tad better. I will push water today since I didn’t get in enough yesterday and I will be thankful that my trend weight is still going down and rewarding me for my dedication to this process right now. I usually do much better in the fall and winter (besides December lol) so I am going to grab the ball and run with it.
09/23-187.8-(Trend Weight 190.6)- I typed my trend weight in wrong yesterday so I’ve corrected it today. There was a teeny tiny drop on the scale. I think I may be eating a little too much bread or bread products like wraps or pita even though they are low calorie AND low carb. I’ll try minimizing that over the next few day but continue to zig-zag the calories and carbs during my little experiment. I’m happy to see the trend weight does continue to move down in a pretty steady fashion. I’m feeling more and more confident in the 180’s and may scratch off the 190’s on my colorful chart above and may report my weight to MFP check-in soon. Gotta be brave and just do it!

Welcome to the group, Breannah!breannah_allen wrote: »I really struggle to get my water intake - I would love to hear what works for everyone!
For water, if I am not drinking enough, I will mix a can of flavored seltzer together with filtered water. I don't need full carbonization, so mixing in the filtered water calms down the bubbles, but it's still flavored. I also drink a lot of herbal teas or water with lemon wedges in it. Occasionally I bust out the Crystal Light mix. I just keep trying different things so I won't get bored with it. I don't know if any of that helps. I hope you find something that works for you.3 -

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.
Goals for September:
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
Strength training...what I can tolerate and build from there
Hit my original goal weight of 150
I am going to be transitioning slowly to a maintaining phase of my journey. But I think I do want to get into the mid 140's. So, I want to take this month to lose weight but slow the process down. I will be doing my morning 5 mile walks during the week but I won't push myself to get the same amount of steps each day. I think about 12-15k per day will be good. I will be adding strength training. I have never been good at maintaining so this will be a learning process and I want to slow my weight loss down and gradually get there.

Sep 5: 179.2 👣 💦🖥️ 📖
Sep 6: 179 💦🧘🖥️We are refinishing our hallway/pantry floor this week, so emptied the pantry, washed the shelves and painted. Busy day - starting refinishing the floors today. It's surprising how much stuff I had in that pantry closet. My living room is filled with junk! Can't wait for it to be finished so I can put my house back in order. Met my 1,600 mile marker yesterday! 😁
Sep 7: 178.6 😁 💦 🖥️ 🖍️ Had a snag in the refinishing yesterday - After sanding for a couple hours yesterday, realized the floors are in worse shape than we thought. The machine we rented wasn't powerful enough to go down as far as we need; so we returned it. Renting a different kind today - hoping it will work! If not, I think we'll need to rip it up and put down a new floor. Regardless, when they are done I will be happy- now a dusty, messy house! YUCK!
Sep 8: 179.6 😠 👣 💦🖥️ 🖍️ It's what I "sort of" expected. Didn't eat all day yesterday until dinnertime. (Working on the floors). I didn't want to cook when were done, so we order a plain cheese pizza. Under my calories for the day, but the sodium gets me every time. On a good note, we finished sanding the floors, and they came out really nice. Today we put the polyurethane one (keeping natural); it has to dry for a couple days and then I can move the stuff back in. Then a full day (or two) of cleaning the rest of the rooms. Even though you put up plastic to keep the dust out - it travels everywhere! Can't wait!
Sep 9: 179.8 😠💦🖥️🧶Don't like the direction I'm going. Hoping it will swish down when I get back into my normal routine. Although I walked yesterday - it was in little spirts - a mile at a time. Although I stayed within my calorie budget, didn't have time to make healty things and didn't eat at regular times. Was ravenous at the end of the day and had salty cashews before I went to bed. On a better note, two coats of polyurethane down. Two (or three if we need it) more today. It's getting close!
Sep 10: 179.6 😐 👣💦💪 🖥️ 🧶The floor has one more coat to go - then touch up any spots at the end; it needs to dry overnight and then I can start moving the stuff back in. Last night I woke up and couldn't sleep - since there is only one more light sand left I cleaned the family room (the farthest room from the foyer). There was even dust INSIDE the TV cabinet - had to take everything out, dust and put everything back. Hoping that it was worth my effort and it doesn't get dusty again today. Thinking about how much I needed to deep clean anyway and how sparkly my house will be next week. 😉
Sep 11: 179.4 👣💦💪 🖥️ 📖 Floors done, kitchen and family room (second time) cleaned. Today can put the shelves back in, and filled. Just need to keep the stuff off the floor. Also is Hubby's birthday today, so will celebrate tonight with dinner of his choice.
Sep 12: 179.4 👣💦💪 🖥️ 📖 🖍️ We ended up going out to dinner on the lake. I had a lovely peach and Burrata salad, but with the glass of beer and dessert (and a couple of hubby's fries), went over my calorie limit. When I got home, I worked off the extra so I could end the day under. This was the view of the lake with a beautiful rainbow.
Sep 13: 178.6 😁👣💦💪 🖥️ 📖And look at that! A little normalcy and whoosh! The pantry is back in order - just my office left to clean (my old dining room). It was messy to begin with so it will be nice to get it done. Here's my organized pantry!
Sep 14: 178.6 👣💦🖥️ 🖍️ Trivia last night; made some good choices. I had a burger, without the bun, and a side salad instead of fries. A seltzer with lemon instead of the beer. We tied for third place with a score of 0! LOL. For the last question, you can answer and get it right to double your score for the whole game, do nothing and keep your score, or answer and get it wrong and lose all your points for the game. A lot of teams guessed, we all got it wrong, so we all tied for third. The top two teams didn't answer. Unfortunately, we lost the tie breaker so didn't come up with a prize this week. (They give gift certificates to the restaurant to come back another time). We haven't been in a few weeks, I forgotten what great fun it is.
Sep 15: 178.4 👣💦💪 🖥️ 🖍️ We made 2 gallons of homemade salsa yesterday with the abundance of tomatoes and peppers in the garden. Yummy; but ate a few chips - made sure I drank plenty of water to compensate and it looks ok so far. Sometimes it shows up the next day though, we'll see tomorrow.
Sep 16: 177.2 😁 👣💦🧘 🖥️ Woo Hoo! I still don't understand the body - but I'll take it. I've offically (for today anyway) lost 50+ pounds since I started this journey in January. Today we are going to the Goodspeed Opera House to see a musical. Every year we get tickets to see some show for my daughter for her birthday (in May). This year she picked "The 12 -Jerusalem. The disciples are in disarray. Torn apart by the unthinkable death of their leader, see how twelve ordinary individuals come together to create one of the most powerful movements ever known. A universal story of love that you will never forget!" Really looking forward to it. Also celebrating Greg's birthday again today with her - He decided Thai Food - so am looking to see what is the best option. Any suggestions?
Sep 17: 177 💦💪 🖥️ 📖 Went to my husband's cousin's house today - It's an all day affair. She is in her 90's and lives alone, no children; hubby passed a couple of years ago and she doesn't drive. Greg calls her every day to make sure she is ok, I shop for her groceries and necessities. Unfortunately, she lives an hour and a half away so can't get there as much as we would like. But she is doing well, and fortunately has wonderful neighbors. It's always a nice visit. Had to walk on the treadmill last night instead of my morning walk - managed to get in my 4 miles (my new mini goal), but didn't get my 16K steps.
Sep 18: 176.8 😁 👣💦💪🧘 🖥️ 📖Tonight is bingo night with Mom. I always leave a little wiggle room on the calories when I go, because somehow there is always some kind of dessert that end up nibbling on.
Sep 19: 176.4 😁👣💦💪 🖥️ 📖
Sep 20: 176.8 - 👣💦💪🧘 🖥️ 📖Made a delicious soup yesterday; low in calories but had canned tomatoes in it , so a little higher in sodium than is good for me - and I had two bowls. Should come down pretty quickly. On a good note - I hit the 1,700 mile mark. 😁
Sep 21: 176.4 I just notice that the last couple days I had myself in the 160's - wishful thinking - No I didn't lose 10+ pounds in a day. HA!
Sep 22: ☹️177 👣💦💪 🖥️ 📖
Sep 23: 😁175.6 ⚖️👣 💦 🖥️ 📖
Sep 24: 175.8 I didn't notice that I met my 4 pound goal yesterday; I hope I can maintain it (or more) to meet my monthly goal. We slipped in our walk between the raindrops - just got a little wet. Surprising there were a lot of people on the trail yesterday.3 -
Coming up on the end of 3 weeks with this group. This week was not my best effort. We celebrated our 53 wedding anniversary this week. A little too much celebration contributed to my lack of positive results. Hopefully, I can close out this last week of September trending the right direction.

@ddainiak
@stormywxs288 Softball on Tuesdays, bowling on Thursday and Friday - what else you do you? I love my instapot too.
Since you asked, I make soup in my Instapot and like you, I can't seem to stop at one bowl, Ha! I also mow 15,000 square feet of grass by hand each week, do woodworking, and watch too much TV, especially sports.
Oh, I love this group too

Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.
Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7
September Goals:
Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day
1 Sep: 207.1
2 Sep: 206.6
3 Sep: 207.1 - We had chips+ with our salads yesterday. Still logged it all, but knew the number would go up. Also entering cycle bloat, so this will fluctuate over the next week. Cycles are in sometimes mode, and irregular with M, so who knows right now. : )
4 Sep: 208.6 - Bloat + an open bag of pretzels. But it's back to food & exercise plan today.
5 Sep: 207.6
6 Sep: 206.7
7 Sep: 206.8
8 Sep: 206.9
9 Sep: 208.2 -- Pizza & sodium. I haven't had pizza in weeks and to be honest, when we went to bed last night, both my husband and I felt gross after greasy food and we both said we're looking forward to salads tomorrow. This morning I'm going to Instapot a bunch of chicken breasts that we can use on salads and in soup for the week ahead. I'm glad we've detoxed enough to notice how less healthy food feels when we have it. It's been a while since we could tell the difference.
10 Sep: 208.1
11 Sep: 209.8
12 Sep: 207.9
13 Sep: 207.7
14 Sep: 206.6
15 Sep: 205.8
16 Sep: 205.9
17 Sep: 207.3
18 Sep: 207.2
19 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
20 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
21 Sep: DNW - Vaca Away
22 Sep: 208.3 - Ok with this number. This will come down as TMI evens out, salts decrease, back to standard foods, etc.
23 Sep: 207.2 - I'm hoping we can do healthy, low sodium meals for a bit here, so I can get back to that 205 number before the end of the month. I know it's only 2 lbs, but it's 2 lbs.
24 Sep: 207.9 - meh

Sept. 23- 191.8. I did this to myself.
When I'm sick, the clear sign I'm on the mend is I want salty, in-no-way-good-for-me Chinese food. When I say, "want", I mean, W A N T. I believe it has mystical medical properties, in addition to calories. And it just tastes good and is comforting.
You were sick for a week and you're healing. Your body is still getting out the salts, etc from whatever you ate. This too will pass. You can do this. Just look at that starting weight number, and see how far you've already come. This is only a temp setback. You're good.

09/23-187.8-(Trend Weight 190.6)- I typed my trend weight in wrong yesterday so I’ve corrected it today. There was a teeny tiny drop on the scale. I think I may be eating a little too much bread or bread products like wraps or pita even though they are low calorie AND low carb. I’ll try minimizing that over the next few day but continue to zig-zag the calories and carbs during my little experiment. I’m happy to see the trend weight does continue to move down in a pretty steady fashion. I’m feeling more and more confident in the 180’s and may scratch off the 190’s on my colorful chart above and may report my weight to MFP check-in soon. Gotta be brave and just do it!
09/24-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I wandered aimlessly around last night like the Cookie Monster trying to find Big bird. Yes, I ate ALL the cookies along the way. I couldn’t bear to weigh myself this morning because I knew it would include glycogen and all that other stuff when I eat too many carbs. Yesterday was pre-scheduled to be a [italics]slightly[/italics] higher carb day anyway, but not for (too many) cookies! So stupid. Anyway, today will be an extra low calorie and carb day according to schedule on this zig-zag experiment so hopefully I will feel confident in weighing tomorrow.

OMG just got back from a catered party where the food was amazing! Shrimp and smoked salmon canapés, egg rolls, meatballs, gourmet pizza, decadent desserts, and lots of wine. I only stayed a short while, but enjoyed myself . Even had a glass of wine. It was fun to socialize with other like minded people. Usually, I just get together with family. This was special for me.
I ate foods I didn’t plan to eat, but came home and logged ( guessing) the calories. Hopefully, I can still lose weight as I don’t think that I’m over my calories for the day.
Another catered dinner next week. I’ll budget for it ahead of time.3 -
Sept. 1- 141.0 I logged
Sept. 2- 139.2 I logged
Sept. 3- 138.6 I logged I think I'm experiencing some quick weight loss that can happen when I simply start watching what I eat and drinking more water.... Nice to see; it will probably steady out.
Sept. 4- 138.8 I logged A potluck yesterday and out to a restaurant today; determined to log
Sept. 5- 139.4 I liked yesterday's weight better. Oh well, keep moving forward.
Sept. 6- 138.8 I logged! Did not finish logging yesterday. It was cycle day 1 and I totally blew it on calories. Next time I plan to adjust my calorie goal to maintenance on cycle day 1... maybe that will help...
Sept. 7- 138.0 I logged MIL cooked a big huge dinner for us, with dessert... I went over on calories, but logged anyway.
Sept.8- 138.2 I logged
Sept. 9- 138.0 I logged
Sept. 10- 138.2 I logged potluck... kinda hard to log, but I logged anyway. I think I ate at maintenance.
Sept. 11- 138.0
Sept. 12- 138.6
Sept. 13- 138.0 I logged
Sept. 14- 138.2. I did not finish logging. MIL cooked for us again... whoa, she is such a good cook. How am I ever going to lose weight with these dinners she cooks for us?
Sept. 15- 137.4. I logged That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!
Sept. 16- 136.4 I logged Yesssss! Now to just stay 136ish to the end of the month!
Sept. 17- 136.6 Two social functions this afternoon/evening; I won't log today. I'll just pick back up tomorrow.
Sept. 18- 137.8 Not surprised in the increase. Surely all the social eating w/out logging would show up. My goal is to log every day for the rest of the month, including any potlucks/social gatherings/grandma dinners/etc!!
Sept. 19- 138.6
Sept. 20- 138.8
Sept. 21- 137.4 Got really discouraged yesterday. I guess I'll keep trying......

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.
Goals for September:
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
Strength training...what I can tolerate and build from there
Hit my original goal weight of 150
I am going to be transitioning slowly to a maintaining phase of my journey. But I think I do want to get into the mid 140's. So, I want to take this month to lose weight but slow the process down. I will be doing my morning 5 mile walks during the week but I won't push myself to get the same amount of steps each day. I think about 12-15k per day will be good. I will be adding strength training. I have never been good at maintaining so this will be a learning process and I want to slow my weight loss down and gradually get there.

No loss this week. I think our Anniversary Celebration tempted me to stray from good eating habits . I'll have to focus a bit more this week. I still like weighing in at least once a day. I feel I'm more on top of it and I can recover from small daily mistakes. If I wait a week, I'm afraid I'd lose hope with a big gain and then give up. So, see you and my scales tomorrow!
