    We made 2 gallons of homemade salsa yesterday with the abundance of tomatoes and peppers in the garden. Yummy; but ate a few chips...

    I could make chips and salsa a dinner any night. I have to limit bringing tortilla chips into the house because of it. :D And homemade salsa is SO GOOD. Great on eggs, salads, even burgers.

    I love Fall here in the inland northwest of Washington State. The weather is pretty stable, cool in the morning and mild during the day and evening. Perfect for playing softball and working in my yard. Those are two things I like to do when I'm healthy and mobile.

    Just losing 5 pounds takes the pressure off my joints and allows me to be more active. The only real change I've made recently is paying attention to how, what, and when I eat. Reporting results to all of you every day has contributed to my success this month. I hope to continue with this group into October and beyond.

    Sep 4 - Sep 10: 190.0 -185.2 (4.8 Lbs) week-one
    Sep 11: 184.8
    Sep 12: 183.6
    Sep 13: 184.6
    Sep 14: 184.8
    Sep 15: 183.0

    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. That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!

    @deepwoodslady I've been meaning to ask for a long time - how do you get your "trend" weight. Is it an app?

    @andreajlnhe You should be encouragae - you have been doing fabulous! 😁

    @fourathomej I'm on a trivia team (2 Lame for a Name) with my hubby, my sister, and my sister's husband. My sister and her husband go every week - we try to get there twice a month - but hadn't been in a month. We do "DJ Trivia". I'm terrible at it - too many TV, Music and Sport questions (I don't watch a lot of TV), and not enough Math and Science. But I love being out with my sister.

    @ddainiak On my pc I use the website trendweight.com It's nice to see the big overall picture in how I am really doing. The little ups & downs and fluctuations can be frustrating. Sometimes I just need to see that overall I am making progress and on track for my goal.

    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.

    09/13-191.0-(Trend Weight 193.1)-

    09/14-191.0-(Trend Weight 192.9)- Guess who went out of town, ordered from a restaurant, had a large ice cream cone with my son for dessert and DIDN’T GAIN EVEN AN OUNCE? Uh um, that would be ME! I’m so proud of me today! I ordered fish even though I really wanted a greasy burger, didn’t even eat half of my meal and allowed for a splurge ice cream cone in my macros so I could stay under. I don’t know if I can always accomplish this but I did yesterday and that’s what counts today. One day at a time, right? I think other things came together for me too: Good TMI, extra sleep last night and I stuck to a normal common healthy snack last night so as not to blow the rest of the day. Too tired to get in much exercise, but overall, I call this a definite successful travel day. That's big for me, my friends. I'm usually like a kid in a candy shop when I get to a real town with real choices!

    09/15-189.8-(Trend Weight 192.6)- Lookie, Lookie, Lookie!!! I hit the 180 club by the tip of my baby toe. I’m so darned excited!!! Anyone who knows me and my former posts knows that I don’t consider myself TRULY in a new decade until I hit the 7 (as in 187 point anything). That is because I can go up or down 2 point anything pounds on any given day, just from no TMI or sodium fluid retention. But I’m still thrilled that I’ve even seen this glimpse of it! Oh yes, today will be a very good day. I absolutely REFUSE my typical self-sabotage.

    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.

    Hello I'm Darlene. I am 63, married, (Greg), have one daughter, 29 (Allyson) and one 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Monty. I have been with this group since April of this year. I love this group.

    July Ending Weight: 179.8

    Sep 2: 179.6 👣💦🖥️📖 🖍️
    Sep 3: 179.8👣💦 🖥️ 🧶 🖍️
    Sep 4: 179.4👣💦 🖥️ 📖🧶
    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?

    Sneaking up on week 2 with this group. It has been great to have you all enable my obsession of weighing myself daily, Ha! Seriously, it would seem pointless to weigh in every day and not have a place to post and share results.

    Believe me, you provide accountability that helps me make better choices day to day. Thanks!!!!

    @ddainiak I’m with you. I’ll never understand the human body. I’m very happy with my results today, but I hardly believe them.🙃 congratulations on losing 50 lbs! I’m right behind you. That’s my next goal.

    Stormy. Don’t apologize for weighing yourself every day. My very athletic, thin brother has weighed himself every morning all his life. He doesn’t count calories, but he once told me he did watch his weight and adjust his eating accordingly. He’s always been very competitive, won all kinds of speed skating and downhill skiing awards. He’s 74 years old, and still athletic.
