    @Melwillbehealthy funny you mentioned your height. I was 5'6" tall for most of my adult life. Now I'm only 5' 4" tall. I shrunk! My claim is I'm not too fat, I'm too short now. Ha! I seem to be going the other way with my weight lately so you may pass me. Not that we're in a race??? We're in this together buddy. See you in the 160s.

    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 Dec 31st): 183.8
    Goal: 179.8 (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.

    01/06-183.0-(Trend Weight 181.2)-

    01/07-183.0-(Trend Weight 181.3)-

    01/08-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I woke up to a big disappointment. I got on my scales and they kept flipping from 174.8 to 175.4 which I know is impossible at this time. I haven’t even had TMI so they should be the same or even up slightly from yesterday’s weight. Also, it did not change over and show me the fat %, Water %, and all the other data it usually gives. It just went black after the weight every time I tried it. All the functions worked perfectly yesterday. I didn’t have another set of AAA batteries so I borrowed some from my TV remote and it still would not work properly. I’m afraid it’s time for a new scale. This one only lasted two years at most. Strange that it stays nicely lit but won’t perform. Anyway, I’ll be scouring Amazon for a new one today so I won’t be able to weigh until it comes in. I must stay diligent and not let my brain go into free-for-all mode just because I don’t have to weigh for a few days. Yes, I have common sense, but that could very easily happen anyway so I am going to pre-log all my food as soon as I am done posting on my challenges to help me stay in line. I will also force myself to exercise today as I could possibly get lax on that too, thinking I’m getting away with murder with no scale. It kind of feels like the teacher is absent today and I have a brand new very young substitute. As far as I think I have come in this weight loss journey, boy am I ever weak and boy oh boy, do I EVER have such a long way to go. Sometimes the physical part is easier than the mental part! Have a good day my friends. I am buckled down for our 6 – 10 inches expected snow storm. I went out yesterday for all the fresh stuff – eggs-bread-milk so my son & I are prepared.

    01/09-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I had to cancel my endocrinologist appt for today. It’s about 2 hours each way (I live nearly an hour from the freeway). We all knew the snow storm was coming so I cancelled the appt on Monday. Schools are closed today. We got about 9” of the expected 11. Lots of shoveling to do today, luckily my son can help. Snow plow man for the steep hill of a driveway has already been here so I can get out if I need to. My appt is rescheduled for Feb. Probably better if it’s not too close to these food holidays anyway! I ordered my new scale last night. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get here. I dread starting over with new numbers on a new scale but I have no choice. Yesterday was binge day. No diabetes appt afterall and no scale so I would expect no less from my weak self. I should not have even mentioned the possibility of cheating yesterday. I mean, I put it out there in the Universe, didn't I? Hopefully I got it out of my system and today will be better. Good, now THAT is in the Universe!

    Afternoon All,

    Late to log in…bizarrely ate more and exercised less but dropped the pound I gained from the day prior so I’m guessing the efforts just took a day to land! 3 hours of tennis this evening should see a significant calorie deficit in the day.

    1/1 217.3 😱
    1/2 212.7 (-4.6)
    1/3 208.5 (-4.2) (-8.8)
    1/4 206.7 (-1.8) (-10.6)
    1/5 207.0 (+0.3) (-10.3)
    1/6 205.9 (-1.1) (-11.4)
    1/7 205.9 (+/-0) (-11.4)
    1/8 205.6 (-0.3) (-11.7)
    1/9 206.8 (+1.2) (-10.5)
    1/10 205.9 (-0.9) (-11.4)

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Hello, I’m Heidi. I’m 55, 5’5” and I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area.

    My goals for January:
    1 - Weigh in daily
    2 - Begin light cardio/stretch/weight exercises
    3 - Maintain current weight or lose a little

    Weight:
    01.01.24 - 165.9 (.1 over my post surgical low)
    01.02.24 - 166.5 (swelling is going back up)
    01.03.24 - 167 (swelling is continuing to go back up)
    01.04.24 - 167.5 (calling surgeon to see why I am blowing up like a balloon)
    01.05.24 - 167.2 (surgeon says I am okay - here's to hoping it was just water retention!)
    01.06.24 - 166 (much better)
    01.07.24 - 165.1 (almost back to my post surgical weight)
    01.08.24 - 164.2 (swelling weight gain GONE plus .7 more!!)
    01.09.24 - 163.6
    01.10.24 - 163

    Exercise:
    1 - Started small stretches (arms above head, side twists) which are going well. The pulling on my
    incisions was horrible at first but are less so after a week. I also started doing some modified
    bridges in the hopes that my healing abdominal muscles would start strengthening up. I am
    walking much better and even walked the entire trip to Costco and pushed the cart. The hubby
    still won't let me lift much except the small laundry basket!

    Highest weight Sep 2004: 315
    Gastric Bypass weight Jan 2005: 281
    Lowest weight Nov 2005: 142 (told to gain weight)
    Highest recent weight Jun 2023: 228.8 (lost and gained throughout the years - oops)
    Skin removal surgery weight Nov 2023: 175
    Goal weight: ??? (I'm okay where I am but wouldn't mind losing a little more)

    Lose weight already! Must exercise more.
    Maybe I should reduce calories? I don’t want to feel too hungry though - if I lower my calories too much it often results in me binging later .

    Start 111.7kg
    Monthly Goal 110kg

    Mon 1: 111.7kg
    Tues 2: 111.8kg
    Wed 3: 111.9kg
    Thur 4: 112.2kg
    Friday 5: 112.8kg
    Saturday 6:111.8kg
    Sunday 7: 112.5kg 😞
    Monday 8: 111.8kg 🤔
    Tuesday 9: 114kg 🤬
