    Hi, Iโ€™m Tiffani. 41 female 5โ€™1. Lost 20lbs 2 years ago and felt so good but Iโ€™ve put it all back on and Iโ€™m finally ready to get back on track. Iโ€™m only tracking food right now and will add in movement at some point.

    1: 159.6
    2: 159.0
    3: 159.0 (ate good yesterday despite having lunch provided at a work event. Very proud of myself and Iโ€™m sure thatโ€™s why I didnโ€™t jump back up in weight this morning:) Iโ€™m trying to listen to my hunger cuesโ€ฆsomething Iโ€™m not very good at.
    4: 159.6 ate good yesterday. Definitely didnโ€™t go over my cals so I guess my body is fluctuating water weight. I feel really good about being back on track and doing something rather than just wishing I was thinner lol

    July 17- 204lbs
    July 24-203lbs
    July 31-202lbs

    Aug 30- 195llbs
    Sept 5 -195lbs

    Travelling, and Ate nothing but fast food yesterday. Still within calories. Up north , but bizarre weather. Itโ€™s the hottest itโ€™s been in 125 years here. Beautiful area. Used to live further north from here. (Sudbury ), It was really cold in the winterโ€ฆ brrrrโ€ฆthis area reminds me of my childhood.

    Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now; my favorite support group on MFP. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

    My goals for October๐Ÿ‚ :
    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. โš–๏ธ
    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. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    17K Steps daily ๐Ÿ‘ฃ
    Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily ๐Ÿ’ฆ
    Strength Train 3 days a week ๐Ÿ’ช
    Tai Chi or Some Stretching exercise 1 day a week ๐Ÿง˜
    Log daily ๐Ÿ“
    Stay under my calorie range ๐Ÿฅ—
    Read daily ๐Ÿ“–
    Do something creative or fun daily ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐Ÿงฉ ๐ŸŽฎ

    Weight Loss to Date: 53.8 Pounds
    September Ending Weight: 174.2

    ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚Happy October!๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚

    Oct 1: ๐Ÿ˜ 173.8 A good start ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŽฎ

    Oct 3: 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ The Hogwarts challenge that I am in has an assignment this week to run/jog for 20 minutes. It doesn't have to be in one session. Years ago, I did the Couch to 5K and jogged a 5k on my 50th birthday (a time when I was almost at my goal weight). I thought about doing that again, but when I tried earlier this year my knees couldn't take it. I thought I would try again when I lost 60 pounds - I'm not quite at 60, but close - I guess this was a sign that I should try again. Yesterday I did day one, and it was fun. Keeping my fingers crossed because I really did love it.

    This is always difficult, because you don't have much choice in the food at the conferences (at least that was the case when I had to go away to conferences). Do the best that you can, but just commit that when you get back home, you'll be back on plan. You've got this.

    Starting weight September 1: 141

    Goal weight for October: 132.8


    October 1: 136.2
    October 2: 137.0 I logged ๐Ÿ‘ Wow, my weight can really spike up quickly. On Sept 30 I was 134.8. Now 2.2 lbs higher. But this is not a surprise. On Sept 30 my mom took me out to lunch; and the mac & cheese was sooooo bad. I just had to go home and make mac & cheese to go with dinner, the proper way, with all the butter and flour and cream cheese and buttery bread crumb topping. And I ate too much of that mac & cheese. And then yesterday we had a long party with friends, and there was a ton of great food & wine. So I overdid it there. So, now back to the plan. My goal is to get back at daily logging & daily meeting my calorie goal, AND to drink lots of water. Cycle day 1 should be right about now too, so the weight could stay here or go up again. Just going to get back to the plan and try to stick with it from here!

    5: 159.8 I ate a little more yesterday but still under maintenance by 1-200 cals. I think the bump up was because I ate more towards the end of the day. I know if I keep on keepin on it will eventually show up on the scale

    Away from home, eating out all the time, and staying within calorie goal, but donโ€™t feel good. Fast food is not sitting well with me.
    I usually cook for hubby and me and always have vegetables. So far on this trip, Iโ€™ve eaten, wraps, burger, and chili. Need Tums!
    Tomorrow should be better. I packed us food for a 10 hour train ride through the Agawa Canyon. Fruit and raw vegetables included.

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ 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!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™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 itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight 189.2)-

    10/02-187.0-(Trend Weight 189.0)-

    10/03-186.2-(Trend Weight 188.5)-

    10/04-186.6-(Trend Weight 188.5)- Finally TMI after 3 days of no action and the scale went up? Go figure! My calories were under, my carbs were under, I got in 32 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT with it, my water was so-so. The only thing bad was my sleep last night. Just shy of 4 hours of sleep. So many things are in play with weight loss including hormones. Iโ€™ll just roll with the punches and let the universe even things out. As Billy Joel sang, itโ€™s a matter of trust.

    10/05-185.8-(Trend Weight 188.2)- I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. Iโ€™ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be good like a bad dream before you know it.

    Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now; my favorite support group on MFP. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

    My goals for October๐Ÿ‚ :
    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. โš–๏ธ
    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. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    17K Steps daily ๐Ÿ‘ฃ
    Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily ๐Ÿ’ฆ
    Strength Train 3 days a week ๐Ÿ’ช
    Tai Chi or Some Stretching exercise 1 day a week ๐Ÿง˜
    Log daily ๐Ÿ“
    Stay under my calorie range ๐Ÿฅ—
    Read daily ๐Ÿ“–
    Do something creative or fun daily ๐Ÿงถ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ

    Weight Loss to Date: 53.8 Pounds
    September Ending Weight: 174.2

    ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚Happy October!๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‚

    Oct 1: ๐Ÿ˜ 173.8 A good start ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅ— ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 2: ๐Ÿ˜ 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ
    Oct 3: 173.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿฅ— ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ ๐ŸŽฎ The Hogwarts challenge that I am in has an assignment this week to run/jog for 20 minutes. It doesn't have to be in one session. Years ago, I did the Couch to 5K and jogged a 5k on my 50th birthday (a time when I was almost at my goal weight). I thought about doing that again, but when I tried earlier this year my knees couldn't take it. I thought I would try again when I lost 60 pounds - I'm not quite at 60, but close - I guess this was a sign that I should try again. Yesterday I did day one, and it was fun. Keeping my fingers crossed because I really did love it.

    Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. Iโ€™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 | Sep 2023: 207.1 |

    Oct 1: 205.5
    Oct 2: 206.4 - A bit more sodium yesterday, and a piece of Naan. It was good, I'm just paying for it.
    Oct 3: 205.4 - Going to try a different workout, and focus on me today.
    Oct 4: 204.9
    Oct 5: 204.6

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ 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!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™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 itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight 189.2)-

    10/02-187.0-(Trend Weight 189.0)-

    10/03-186.2-(Trend Weight 188.5)-

    10/04-186.6-(Trend Weight 188.5)-

    10/05-185.8-(Trend Weight 188.2)- I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. Iโ€™ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be good like a bad dream before you know it.

    10/06-188.0-(Trend Weight 188.2)- Well, it is exactly as I expected so I have my work cut out for me. My menu is pre-logged and Iโ€™ve already done 21 minutes of my planned exercise. Handymen will be here any minute so more exercise will likely be late tonight. No worries.

    Wrong way! Somebody stop the wagon so I can get back on. Ha! This is what happens when you stop paying attention. Procrastinators of the world unite tomorrow. Just kidding. I will start paying attention again today.

    So happy to be home after 3 days away. Conferences are great, until you have no choice over 2 of your meals each day. I packed healthy snacks and did my best to stay on point...until I didn't. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ. I've done well today but was short on protein so dinner is a lot of chicken and some protein pudding for dessert. Looking forward to the weekend and being back in as much control as possible.

    Thank you! I can't take credit - another member of this group months ago used to do it and I stole the idea from her.

    Happy Thanksgiving by the way. Hope everything works out for you.
