Get to goal weight in 2024

Hi everyone, Happy Weekend and Welcome All!

I'm sorry to be reporting so late! I am somewhat disheartened to report that my weight on Wednesday was 158, even though I was very careful about food and beverages and walked and danced a LOT that week! Still, I must be honest. I was so bummed out that I went completely off the rails with eating and even consumed several alcoholic beverages from Wednesday through Friday! Why the self-sabotage, I wonder?

No more! I forgive myself, as I'm only a fallible human. So... Here I go again!

Enjoy the coming days. I will make sure to report back here on Wednesday, September 18th, which incidentally, is only 15 weeks until January 1st, 2025! I hope to lose a pound per week (or more) so I can ring in the New Year at least fifteen pounds lighter! Let's GO!🩷

This board does not appear to be very active; so I'm jumping off

Best to ALL! 💗

I'm still reading. Not posting cause I've been going the wrong direction. Minor health issues have taken priority over weight. I'll turn it around one of these days. 😃 😊 😀

My goal weight keeps getting higher the older I get...I was 132 during most of my 30s and size 7/ 8 so I guess that is what I'd like to be, best case scenerio. I'm 150, now, and still feel pretty good, considering I am a few years away from 50...according to a weight loss center I am big boned as my wrist is over 7 inches!:D I'll go with 140 pounds for 2024 as my ideal weight. 💕

June 18th, I've lost 5 lbs! Doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a big difference for a short lady. 😋

November 1st- 141 pounds..I'd like to lose a few more inches off my waist, but I'm pretty happy with how all my clothes fit and feel healthier.

Just found this post.

I'm at my goal weight 145lbs male 5'7" 55years old and feel amazing.

Now the hard part begins. Maintenance!

But I do have a magic bullet to maintain so I'm not even concerned about it... lol

2/10 175 feeling better
2/17 175 spinning my wheels? or maintaining nicely?
2/24 176
2/29 174.2
3/2 172 that's better. Below 170 this month!

3/9 172.4 eye on the goal. Under 170 this month

Stopped a diuretic for blood pressure in July and immediately gained 15 pounds. Part rehydration. Part return of appetite. Part just felt so much better I got more exercise and ate more, better.
I have slowly lost some of that. Got sick and quickly lost 10 more.
I'm not going to make my goal of 164 by the end of the year.
I'm gonna adjust my goal.
My goal is now to just be happy with the weight I am today.
75 years old. 90+ pounds down from my highest weight. No medications. Sounds like a pretty healthy weight right here.
And I will eventually lose those last few pounds, but maybe no one but me and my Doctor will ever know.
