@fourathome As a widow, I never thought I would find love again. However, I think I just found it. Thanks for the beautiful pic.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!
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 31st): 191.8
Goal: 187.8 (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.

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.
09/25-188.8-(Trend Weight 190.4)- Well $#!% It was only a few (well maybe a bit more than a few) cookies and it was day before yesterday and still, I am up a full pound. I know, I know, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later but wow. I’ve really increased my exercise in the past couple of days so I also wonder if it’s a bit of fluid retention. Also, I noticed in logging that my sodium has been up mainly from things like cottage cheese and tomato juice. It’s shocking how much sodium is in cottage cheese! The good news is that my trend weight is continuing to go down, my fat percentages continue to drop and I can physically feel the difference in my body shape and size. I will measure soon. Just keep going Donna. Keep Going. It’s not linear. (And STAY AWAY from your grandson’s JUNK).

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.
Sep 25: 175.6 Bingo night with Mom; will save some calories for the unexpected desserts that they always bring. It's pouring here, and will all day - so an inside walk. I get bored easily on the treadmill so break it into 1-2 mile at a time. Will probably not make my 16K steps - but will make up for that the rest of the week.2 -

Sept 23: 🥙 I logged everything, but that's about it. I'm sick for the 3rd weekend in a row and hoping it clears up before I go back to work tomorrow. I had a big loss on the scale this week, which has been a nice encouragement.
Sept 24:🥙 Logged everything!
Sept 25: 🥙 Logged and came in under calorie goal! My cold is finally clearing up and I'm planning on making it to the gym tomorrow. The rain has drowned out the kids sports this week so I had some unexpected free evenings 🙌

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.

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.

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.

Not really wanting to go into TMI, all of my cycles are out of whack right now. Being an over 50's woman has too many surprises at times. I weighed myself 4 times yesterday thinking something was wrong with the scale. Nope. I truly hope by Saturday I'm at least where I started for the month, if not below.

Had a scare today, about 2 1/2 miles into our walk, Monty started limping and then sat down. Luckily we were not on "trail", but on a state park road. I walked/ran back to the car and picked up Greg and Monty and we came home. Thought we were going to have to have an emergency vet visit. When we got home, Monty jumped up on the coach and started chewing at his foot - in his mouth was a cocklebur seed pod. Phew! Greg and I finished our walk when we got home - another two miles on the airline trail. With all the rain the last two days, the waterfalls were running!

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- 136.6 I logged.
Sept. 25- 136.4 I logged I'll take it. 5 more days in September... time to "sprint to the finish." I'll be happy to keep this weight to the end of the month.

09/25-188.8-(Trend Weight 190.4)- Well $#!% It was only a few (well maybe a bit more than a few) cookies and it was day before yesterday and still, I am up a full pound. I know, I know, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later but wow. I’ve really increased my exercise in the past couple of days so I also wonder if it’s a bit of fluid retention. Also, I noticed in logging that my sodium has been up mainly from things like cottage cheese and tomato juice. It’s shocking how much sodium is in cottage cheese! The good news is that my trend weight is continuing to go down, my fat percentages continue to drop and I can physically feel the difference in my body shape and size. I will measure soon. Just keep going Donna. Keep Going. It’s not linear. (And STAY AWAY from your grandson’s JUNK).
09/26-187.6-(Trend Weight 190.1)- I’ve just met goal! But can I keep it……..? It was a very good food day yesterday. I took it a bit easy on the exercise because I hadn’t felt very well the night before with my glucose being normal but feeling so low to me (I’m not used to it being in the “normal” range). I did get on the exercise bike but just strolled leisurely, nothing intense. I find at times, especially when watching my carbs, that I have a hard time getting in enough calories. Even though healthy fat foods are higher in calories, this is still the case. I worked hard to tweak my MFP food logging and fit in what I needed. The goal is to keep it more on the healthy side, and not just anything to make the numbers work. I don’t want my metabolism to slow down so it’s important that I get the calories as correct as possible. I’m still experimenting with the zig-zag for the weight loss. So far it’s going okay. The NSV for today is that my clothing is fitting like it’s supposed to, I’m not squeezed in or poured into the new lower sizes I’ve changed into over the past year. I need to start measuring again. Maybe I’ll start at the beginning of the month or thereabouts.

Today was supposed to be a softball day but it rained. Plan B, we played indoor pickleball instead. I love playing pickleball but it makes me hungry. I made beef stew in my instapot to be ready when I got home. I love beef stew almost as much as pickleball. So, the trick was could I limit myself to one bowl of beef stew? Mission accomplished today. I'm not saying how big the bowl was. Tomorrow morning the scales will tell me how big it was.

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 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.
Sep 25: 175.6 ⚖️ 🏃♂️👣💦🧘 🖥️ 🖍️ Bingo night with Mom; will save some calories for the unexpected desserts that they always bring. It's pouring here, and will all day - so an inside walk. I get bored easily on the treadmill so break it into 1-2 mile at a time. Will probably not make my 16K steps - but will make up for that the rest of the week.
Sep 26: 174.8 😁 ⚖️ 🏃♂️👣💦💪 🖥️ 🧩That was a nice surprise this morning. Visiting Allyson this afternoon; she has the day off today (worked this weekend so gets a day off in the week). She has a couple of Daddy Dos that need to be done.
Sep 27 174.8 😁 Monty is fine; just gave us a fright when refused to go on. I guess I wouldn't want to walk with that in my toes either. I made my walking goal for the month - at 1,780 miles so far this year. Woo Hoo! Now I need to keep off the weight to make my weight goal. Not much on the agenda today - decided to skip Trivia tonight.3 -
I'm starting to wonder if my scale is broken and stuck at 184.0. Ha! Today is a yard work day. I like to think of yard work as FUNctional fitness. Pine needles are starting to fall and pile up with the cooler weather. Perhaps working in my yard will help me to make a positive change on the scales tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.

09/26-187.6-(Trend Weight 190.1)- I’ve just met goal! But can I keep it……..? It was a very good food day yesterday. I took it a bit easy on the exercise because I hadn’t felt very well the night before with my glucose being normal but feeling so low to me (I’m not used to it being in the “normal” range). I did get on the exercise bike but just strolled leisurely, nothing intense. I find at times, especially when watching my carbs, that I have a hard time getting in enough calories. Even though healthy fat foods are higher in calories, this is still the case. I worked hard to tweak my MFP food logging and fit in what I needed. The goal is to keep it more on the healthy side, and not just anything to make the numbers work. I don’t want my metabolism to slow down so it’s important that I get the calories as correct as possible. I’m still experimenting with the zig-zag for the weight loss. So far it’s going okay. The NSV for today is that my clothing is fitting like it’s supposed to, I’m not squeezed in or poured into the new lower sizes I’ve changed into over the past year. I need to start measuring again. Maybe I’ll start at the beginning of the month or thereabouts.
09/27-187.6-(Trend Weight 189.8)- I didn’t expect the scale to go down every single day and today it complied. My trend weight, however, continues to drop and I know I’m on the right path here. Yesterday was a good day and today will be another good one. I’ll be taking my son to his hair appointment later. I will get him some fast food carry out (he is used to dinner afterward) and I will eat my zucchini boats that I have planned for dinner. I’m feeling pretty strong today and pretty good about how things are going overall.

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...
