    Challenge final weight:

    I’ve been making some changes to my calorie/macro goals, in order to adjust to my increased exercise load. Still getting things dialed in correctly, so my weight loss has slowed down a bit which is good because it had gotten a bit too fast for what's considered healthy (maximum 1% of body weight per week).

    No exceptions. No excuses. 🥑
    💝 Discipline is self-love. 💖

    @36Gabriella12 I use my PC for MFP. I keep a separate document which I add to daily and then copy/paste my document onto this post box. To give a message to someone else and show what you are responding to, hit the quote button below their comment and then use the @symbol with their name (no spaces) then go ahead and add your response. Then just hit post as normal. I hope this helps.

    MY CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:140

    Last time I had challenged myself to eat at restaurants only for social activities, not alone, and then just an appetizer and drink. I lost 4 pounds. So I am going to continue this, and add another challenge. 2 bean dishes per week at home. 1 bean soup recipe and vegetarian pasta and peas...every week!

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 183.8
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 171.8
    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.


    01/01-181.6-(Trend Weight: 180.3)-

    01/08-179.8-(Trend Weight: 181.2)-

    01/15-183.4-(Trend Weight: 181.3)- I had to get a new scale this past week so I don’t even know how accurate the “whoosh” was at the last weigh-in. I started on the new scale at a much higher weight than I’d been seeing of late. A little may have been the unaccountability and self-sabotage as I waited for the new scale, but some of it surely was the difference in scales. My fat % is also MUCH MUCH higher on the new scales, consistently over the past couple of days since I received it from UPS. However, my visceral fat is MUCH lower. I’m confused but can only begin tracking my data now, where I’m at, and take it from here.

    01/22-184.2-(Trend Weight: 182.7)- It’s been a rough week, including travel. Less exercise than usual too. I am frantically working to turn this ship around and actually had an overnight drop this morning. It’s a big boat so I’ve got to be patient but it’s beginning to turn. I am aiming for a two pound loss this week when I usually aim for one. Focus, Focus, Focus.

    Not really sure what is going on. I think it's fairly safe to assume my 2 kg of end of year weight gain was water and not actually weight gain. But even if we retract those the weight loss is still really good. Next week will probably be a smallish gain even if I am good. It's just that I will be at the water before the drop stage.

    I have started to do some squats and some against table push ups. I thought I might try a thirty day challenge thing but apparently they have started to take money. And I am not the kind of person that pays to be told to take a push up.
