    Hi there! I’m Jacqie.

    I’ve been on a mission to get back to good health habits and lose 75lbs.. Started almost 6 weeks ago. Down 7.5 lbs but still struggling with bad habits creeping back in (especially in the evening).

    My goals:
    Weigh in daily
    Log everything daily (has been a challenge)
    Drink more water
    Exercise (imorove strength and consistency)
    Find my groove! 🎃

    Good job on the 30+ lb loss Jill. Inspiration!
    Happy October! 🍂🍁🎃🐈‍⬛

    Jacqie

    Welcome Jacqie! We’re so glad you’re here!

    Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few month now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!

    My goals for October🍂 :
    • Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - BUT I am only 6 pounds away from getting out of the obese category - so setting a stretch goal to get there by the end of the month. Usually if I announce something I do it so . . . .. fingers crossed. ⚖️
    • Hit my orignal 1,960 mile goal. I am on a mission to get 2,023 miles in 2023, when I first started my goal was 1,960 - a good year. When I realized that I would achieve this early changed it to 2,023. 🏃‍♂️

    @jacqiemos1 Welcome to this wonderful community. I found the MyFitnessPal challenges about the same time in my weight loss story and they have been so instrumental in my continued success. This group is one of favorites (I'm in a few LOL). No matter what happens in your day - just keep coming back. We all have our struggles, and we help each other through them. No judgments - just great advice and support.

    I'm Stormy, 73. Back with this group for a second month. I <3 the holiday season, however, this is a difficult time of year for me to fight off bad food choices. Perhaps daily accountability with this group will motivate me to make better choices as we approach the "Eating Season". See you all tomorrow for the first weigh-in for October.

    Hi I'm Marla, 67 yrs old and retired. I have been yo-yoing with 20lbs for the last 20 yrs. Right now at 150 I want to be 130. I am smaller and the entire weight is in my stomach making me look 6 months pregnant. Over the last 20 yrs I have been asked many times. Last week a lady in my Tai chi class asked me and I laughed and told her how old I am! But inside was the shame you feel for not having the control over food you want. So here I am again, and this time I am going to work on my mindset and thoughts.

    My goals for Oct:

    Lose at least 4 lbs.
    Yoga, Qigong at least 10 min daily
    Walking daily
    Weighing daily
    Smaller portion sizes
    Cut down on sugar & fat

    Hello, I’m Stormy, a 73 male. 5’4”, 183.4lbs for my first weigh-in here in Oct. I bowl twice a week, play softball when it is warm, and pickleball (indoors) when it is not. I also work way too hard on my yard/lawn. I do intermittent fasting and Keto-ish. I’ve been a member of MFP since 2016 and during that time frame, I’ve weighed as little as 148 and as much as 209.

    MFP has been good for me when I join a support group to keep me accountable. My goal for Sep-Dec is to finish off 2023 on a positive trend heading toward a healthy weight. I want to hit the ground running in 2024 instead of waiting for the New Year to make resolutions.

    Sep 30: 185.0 (lost 5Lbs)

    Ok, im stealing Jill's format!

    My name is Theresa and this is my first month with the group. I'm 55, from Indiana, and have had weight issues most of my life. I've been on the dieting roller coaster for 30 years and try not to diet but to make better choices. Multiple times I was close to 400 lbs. While I still bounce numbers around, I'm usually a few pounds on either side of 235. I did not have weight loss surgery but have had excess skin removed. I would like to lose 40 more lbs. I stress eat and love to snack. I'm trying to get more under control.

    ⚖️Weigh- in daily
    📝Log daily
    🏡 Foxus on work-life balance
    📝 Log consistently
    💪Continue daily workouts
    🥗 Increase protein, lower sugar intake, reduce gluten, control mid day snacking

    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 Sept 30th): 188.2
    Goal: 184.2 (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.


    10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight 189.2)- Yesterday everything was on point—diet, exercise, water, Potty. I wish everyday fell in line like that but that is not typical of my normal day. I had no handymen, no babysitting, no kids stop buy (with treats), no invitations from friends to go have lunch or dinner, it was a care-free day of self focus. Yesterday was one of the lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zagging I am doing so I’m not surprised to see the scale a bit more down because of that. It certainly likes to tip up a bit on the scheduled higher days so fair enough!

    -Avoid any and all consumption of alcoholic beverages (Will note this as "NO ETOH").
    -Limit calories to 1,500/day (or less).
