I'll be back tomorrow if I can find this.
@icharpentier2 Just slide up to the top of this posting page, to the right of the challenge title you will see a little flag symbol. Just click that to turn it blue and it will bookmark the challenge for you. I hope this helps.4 -
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.

01/02-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.4)-
01/03-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.5)- Carbs were a bit high yesterday but calories were in check. I made a large dinner, skipped the dinner roll but had a regular potato instead of sweet potato yesterday. I haven’t had a baked potato in a very long time. I was pretty good on exercise and tried a new walking video that was much faster and longer. I liked it but will have to hope my breathing can keep up. Not enough water or steps overall for the day so that is my goal for today, to improve these two areas. I’ll have to be patient with the scale but we all know that persistence pays off so the goal is to keep moving forward and wait for pay day!
01/04-182.0-(Trend Weight 180.7)- My Christmas Dinner was on the 30th. I always suffer from intense cravings after people-gathering holidays. Last night I satisfied my craving for Pasta. I wish I would have stuck to the roast beef I had planned. I’ll have that tonight, it’s already in the crock pot. I need to be a good girl as the scale is getting out of hand. I’ve been working at taking down the Christmas decorations and all the Christmas trees (5 of them). I hope to finish up today. At least I’m getting lots of steps in and climbing lots of stairs!

@deepwoodslady thank you! I’m really depressed about my weight this year. It is going up again. I haven’t managed to be active this week because I’m in pain and fatigued so I’m just trying to do squats and use dumbbells. Need to get on top of this before it gets worse. It takes so darn long to lose anything and now I’ve got to re lose weight I already lost. 😞 sick of this happening.
How are the rest of you doing? Does anyone else have extreme difficulty with weight loss?
Start 111.7kg
Monthly Goal 110kg
Mon 1: 111.7kg
Tues 2: 111.8kg

Your story sounds so similar to mine, and we’re a similar age and weight. Would love to be my fitness pal friends and cheer each other on!3 -
Hi everyone,
Forgive my weakness, but I just can't weigh myself every day - the fluctuations are making me crazy! Basically it's been like this:
DEC 31: 146.2
JAN 01: 146.2
JAN 01: 147.2
JAN 03: 147.4
JAN 04: 148.2
WHAAAT?! I definitely haven't eaten enough to gain any weight, let alone two whole pounds! It's too discouraging and I'm afraid I'll give up!
I will just stick with my weekly weigh-ins every Sunday (on Jill's other board); so my next weigh-in will be Sunday, January 7th.
Best wishes to all! 💗

I don't weigh daily either! It's not great for my mental health. I check my weight once a week. I check in here daily with an update on which goals I worked on. And chatting with everyone is a great bonus 😁3 -

Jan 1: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Happy New Year!
Jan 2: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Met my New Year's goal - did a 10K walk yesterday AM. Was ravenous all day, but managed to stay under my calorie limit by 5 calories. I would say a successful day. I'm still .2 pounds away from my lowwest weight (just before Christmas).
Jan 3: 162.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Funny thing happened to yesterday. Greg, Monty and I started the Airline Trail today (I am feeling nostalgic so want to do it again, and we started off with a big one day 6.2 miles. When we got back to the car, Greg noticed he didn't have his wallet. Thought he left it on the counter at home. Got home, no wallet, now we think he must have dropped it on the trail as we were walking, so we drove back to the trail at the half way point. Greg went one way - I went the other looking for the wallet, another 3.7 miles and didn't find it. When we got home - Greg remembered he took the truck out yesterday - left it in the center console. LOL! So, my 6.2 walked turned into 9.9, silver linings I guess! Here are some pictures from the walk (the first time).
Jan 4: 162.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦
Jan 5 : 163.4 👣 📝 💪 💦 Couldn't sleep, got up, raided the pantry. When I posted last night it triggered me to stop, but a little too late. Today is my rest day. Off to visit my husband's cousin, celebrate Christmas. Will try to get a small walk in this afternoon. Won't be able to weigh everything, but we are bringing lunch with us, so should be able to estimate and log everything.5 -

Good morning this place. Walela (Carole) believe you me your not alone in this fluctuation business I should weight just once a week. Because even if I had what I thought was a great day yesterday under my calorie take in here. Yet this morning gained .6 has to be the popcorn didn't realize it was loaded with carbs. Some times you need to look where you went wrong. I'l blame it on the popcorn.
So started at 200
Today 5th 200.6
Oh well all I can do is have a good day today.5 -

Checking in as promised and thoroughly disgruntled. After 4 days of diet and not skipping a single work-out (even in the morning, which is so hard); I managed to gain half a pound.
I know it might be water weight - or even muscle gain, or just the time of day. It's still annoying, frustrating, and demoralizing. * Grinds teeth in anger. Tomorrow is another day.7 -
I realize there's a weight logging tool here but I also use the "Monitor your weight" app because it has a fabulous weight graph. There's a few extra lines on it to monitor your progress. I took a screenshot of their explanation of how it works.. it could possibly be helpful to the recent few mentioning how much daily weighing doesn't work for them. As long as those weighins keep trending down it doesn't really matter the tiny fluctuations up and down daily. Don't forget first thing in the AM, naked after a bathroom break would be the most ideal time as you wouldn't be weighing the food, drink, clothing or waste in your body. 😉
ETA let us know how it works out for you if you give it a go! I'm going to log losses here on mfp but log every day for this trend line information over there.
