Looking forward to connecting again! I joined this challenge a few years ago and had great success! I see some of the same names which is fantastic!! What a committed group!! That said, after I reached my goal I stopped logging on to MFP. Not surprisingly, I’m back where I started. Looking for motivation and support to reestablish some healthy habits.4

My hubby and I started low carb / low glycemic on Sunday morning. So far, so good. I made a list of foods, meals and snacks we can eat and put it on the fridge. We went grocery shopping. We did not buy any low carb gimmick foods like Atkins snacks. We just bought wholesome food including some nuts which we're careful not to eat too much.
I feel my face is less puffy, my belly less puffy, less carb cravings....
I always ate lots of snacks at my desk at work; in my drawer I had pretzels, Chex Mix and things like that. And as I would eat, I just kept going. Love my snacks!
So, we shall see how it goes. A few years ago, I had good success with low carb, as long as I keep it going and make it more of a lifestyle than a diet.

My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 169.4
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Oct 31): 181.4
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
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
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.
11/01-181.2-(Trend Weight: 184.5)- I have not eaten even one piece of the leftover Halloween candy. I say that with chest puffed out, proudly. That is because I am an addict and chocolate is my drug of choice. If it makes it until Friday 5:00 pm in this house, it will go to my teenaged grandchildren I will be seeing then. Good luck everyone this challenge and this month!

I have been inconsistent with being accountable with my weight loss journey. I was scrolling through mpf discussions to find a thread to help me find the inspiration to get myself back to deciding why I was committed to reach my ideal weight & I found this particular post.
I will post every Friday.

Count me in for another round! I'm 5'5" and 59 y/o, from Texas and battling that post-menopausal weight gain. I plan on rededicating myself to eating clean and lifting heavy at the gym to build muscle.

I'm back. I've been MIA for the last month as I've gone back to work and needed to figure out a reguar schedule. Now that I have a regular work schedule I should be able to weigh-in and post on Tuesdays.
I need to get back to tracking my food and exercise Actually just need to start exercising as I haven't really done any for over a year except walking at work...lol....
We have a 3 week Hawaii holiday planned for Feb and would like to be down 20lbs by then.
This could be very challenging at this time of year with Holiday parties, Christmas baking Chocolates(especially Purdys) and of course Christmas dinner. I will have to do some careful meal planning for the next few months.
First weigh in will be on Tuesday.
Good Luck Everyone5 -
