    Hello! I'm Joy. Jumping in late, but I've been working on this for awhile...years and decades probably. I'm 65, long time separated, pretty active in the outdoors sometimes. I live in Washington State. In February, when I turned 65. I started using MIND DIET Principles. It's a diet and lifestyle that is supposed to help with protecting your brain from dementia. Including Alzheimers, besides being generally a healthy plan. I weigh either Sunday or Monday morning, first thing. As you can see, I'm pretty stuck, and still working at it.
    Starting weight-

    Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
    Jan 6: 162.8 😁
    Jan 13: 162 😁
    Jan 20: 161 😁
    Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
    Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.
    Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds

    Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
    Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
    Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
    Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month

    Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds

    Mar 2: 156.8
    Mar 9: 154.8 😁
    Mar 16: 154.2 😁
    Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
    Mar 30: 152.6 😁

    Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds

    Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
    April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
    April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
    April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
    April 30: 151.6

    Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound

    May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
    May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
    May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
    May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get the results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
    May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!

    Total lost in May - 2 Pounds

    June 8: 146.2 😁 Great week. I bought two weeks of Nutrisystem food. They were having a free month of their advantage (a la carte) plan, so I thought I would give it a try to boost my slow loss the last couple of months. I started at the end of May. Could I do it long term? - absolutely not - I love to cook and the food is already getting boring. But it worked. I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

    June 14: 145 😁 Anther good week. Very excited - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii (leave Sunday). We have to drop off Allyson at JFK and said as long as we are there, why don't we use those frequent flyer miles that we have used in AGES! We found a good deal on a condo on VRBO - so have a full kitchen. My plan is to eat two meals in and go out for one. When I do go out - DON'T finish my plate - bring half home for breakfast or lunch the next day. Limit the alcohol. I won't let it be a free for all - I never came home from a vacation saying I wish I ate or drank more! Here on my findings on the Nutrisystem experiment.
    1. It works - I got over my plateau and continued to lose - lost almost 5 pounds in two weeks. 😁
    2. It was super easy to follow 😁 but, had we had to cook two meals daily - one for me, one for Greg. ☹️
    3. The food was edible - not fantastic, not gross 😐
    4. I did not meet my protein goal most days ☹️, but met carb, fat, sodium and fiber goals almost every day 😁.
    5. Most days the calories were about 1,350 - ranging from a little under 1,200 to 1,600. I wasn't hungry. 😁
    6. I ususally eat 5 fruits/veggies a day - but switched to 4 veggies one fruit on Nutrisystem. 😐
    6. It's doable as a quick fix, I couldn't do it long term. 😐
    7. Overall - I am extremely happy with the weight loss. So overall score! 😁 But am really looking forward to cooking again! 👩‍🍳
    8. Next step - see if I gain it all back?

    June 22 147.7 I am in Hawaii and the salt from the food, and the alcohol has me all over the place this week. Up two pounds, down a pound, up a pound, down two pounds. This is me today. I have two more days in paradise and then back home to normal. I know it won't come off as quickly as it came on, but hope I can get back to where I was before the end of the month. The memories are worth it.

    June 29 144.8 😁 So happy to see. The water weight from my trip is gone. We had a fantastic time. The best part is that I did not OVER indulge. Yes, I indulged - had a small cup of ice cream every day and a drink on most days. But we ate in for breakfast every day, and most lunches. I only ate 1/2 the entre at the restaurant for dinner - bringing home the rest for Greg to snack on, or for lunch the next day. I did not feel deprived.

    Total weight lost in June: 4.8 Pounds

    Starting Weight July: 144.8

    July 6: 143.9 😁 Tough week for me health wise, but at least it didn't show up on the scale. Back to seated walks and aerobics - my knee issues are not recovering like the Dr. wants. I also have an upper respitory infection that I caught while in Hawaii - on day three of antibiotics but still feel yucky - hope it kicks in soon! On a better note - just 3.9 pounds to get out of the overweight stage! I'm hoping to hit that by my birthday the second week in August!

    July 13: 144.4 I think the health issue was taking hold. Just finished the antibiotics, hoping it's bloat and water weight from the meds.

    July 20: 144.2 I am down .2 from last week, but if I don't figure something else out won't hit my July goal- and look at that July 6 entry.

    July 27: 143.3 A little better this week. Just 4 more days in July - wasn't what I wanted but at least a loss! Doctor gave me the go ahead to resume my workouts - easing into getting back to normal. Cardio and strength routines are half sitting, half standing (no twisting of the knee). But more importantly I am back to walking. I am walking 1.5 to 2 miles in the AM, and then another mile or so on the treadmill in the evening. I forgot how much I loved it.

    Hi everyone!

    I've been slacking off lately; it's time to make a fresh start! I will resume my weekly weigh-ins and scale app stats beginning Sunday, July 28th (3 weeks before my 66th birthday)!

    I'm hoping to get back down to the 140's by then, but I will be happy to lose at least 5 lbs.

    Have a nice weekend!💗 Carole

    Hi everyone,

    Below are my initial, "Do-Over" stats:
    3ehaka9si46x.png
    It's a bit disappointing, but at least I didn't go back up into the 160's. Today is three weeks until my birthday. I hope to lose at least five pounds by then.

    Have a great week!
    💗 Carole

    For reference, I use a Renpho scale and the original app it used (not the Renpho Health app) which I don't like as well. I got it on Amazon and now it's only $23.99 with a 10% discount! It's the best selling body composition scale, I believe:

    Hi, I'm Jude. I'm 67 YO, 5' 2"
    My history includes large swings in weight with up to 50 lb weight gains. My goal for 2024: to change the habits that hurt me and learn how to integrate and maintain healthy eating habits for good.

    June: 6 months into this challenge! I've been consistent this time (compared to the previous 60+ years:-) and am learning what "maintenance" means. My downfall in the past was to lose the weight and fall right back into the habits of a lifetime; it finally occurred to me I have to change.
    1/1/24: 147 lbs
    2/1: 138.6
    3/1: 135.0
    4/1: 130.2
    5/1: 124.6
    6/1: 125.0
    7/1: 125.0
    Previous months:
    January goals:
    * continue my exercise routine- which has been pretty good
    * eliminate evening snacking- which is my downfall
    * weigh every day- which I avoid and then gain
    * log in here every week on Monday so I can't pretend the weekend is "free"!

    1/1: 146.6
    1/8: 142.6
    1/15: 141.4
    1/22: 140.2 (a day early, we're away and traveling tomorrow)
    1/29: 139.2
    Starting weight: 146.5

    Goal weight: around/under 142
    Actual: 139.2
    Loss: 7.4 lbs


    February goals:
    * continue exercise routine, weighing and logging- I know what works, now do it.
    * continue to make good choices every day, enjoy food appropriately and within healthy numbers.
    2/5: 137.2
    2/12: 136.8
    2/19: 135.0
    2/26: 134.2
    Starting weight: 139.2
    Goal weight: around/under 136
    Actual: 134.2
    Loss: 5.0 lbs


    March goals:
    * stick with the plan, it gets harder to lose as I get closer to the goal
    * enjoy all our March birthdays and be conscious of portions
    * continue to log consistently
    3/4: 135.0 (birthday dinners!)
    3/11:132.8
    3/18: 131.4
    3/25: 131.4
    Starting weight: 135.0
    Goal weight: around/under 132
    Actual: 131.4
    Loss: 3.6 lbs


    April goals:
    * stick with the plan, it gets harder to lose as I get closer to the goal
    * continue to log consistently
    4/1: 130.2
    4/8: 128.8
    4/15: 127.8
    4/20: 126.9 (posting early pre-trip)
    4/29: 126.0
    Starting weight: 130.2
    Goal weight: around/under 127
    Actual: 126.0
    Loss: 4.2 lbs


    May goals:
    * figure out what "maintaining" means and what my daily calories should be
    * continue to log consistently
    * no snacking/daily wine/processed sugar
    5/6: 126.0
    5/13: 124.8 Sunday weight
    5/20: 126.0
    5/27: 124.2
    Starting weight: 126.0
    Goal weight: maintain between 124-126
    Actual: 124.2


    June goals:
    * stick with "maintaining" and eating healthfully
    * continue to log consistently
    * no snacking/daily wine/processed sugar
    6/3: 124.2 (Friday weight, away)
    6/10: 125.0
    6/17: 124.4
    6/24: 124.6
    Starting weight: 125ish
    Goal weight: maintain between 124-126ish
    Actual: 124.6

    July goals:
    * stick with "maintaining" and eating healthfully
    * continue to log, even when traveling
    * no snacking/daily wine/processed sugar
    7/1: 125
    7/8: 125.6
    7/15: 125.0
    7/22: 125.0
    7/29: 124.8
    Starting weight: 125
    Goal weight: maintain at or under 125
    Actual: 124.8

    My maintenance has been steady for about 3 months now! In the past I’d hit my target weight and start climbing right back up. These challenges keep me focused, and weighing every day means I don't have time to drift back to bad habits.
    See you all in August!

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
    Start Weight (from June 30th, 2024 ): 187.0
    Goal Weight: 183.0 (4 pound loss)

    End of Month Final Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this Month: xxxxx





    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.


    07/01-187.0-(Trend Weight: 186.6)-


    07/08-189.2-(Trend Weight: 187.2)-

    07/15-189.4-(Trend Weight: 188.6)-

    07/22-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Yesterday was out-of-control with the snacking. I really paid attention and portion control does seem to be the biggest issue. I continue to eat “approved” and healthy foods, but one thing right after another. I don’t need one each of ALL the snacks. Just pick one Donna and be satisfied!!!! I am hungry at meal times but do well at home for my meals. At snack time, it’s nothing short of ridiculous and I’m usually not even very hungry. Just cravings!!! I mean, I’m glad I LOVE my healthy choices but why so many, why so much? No wonder Dr. Nowzaradan makes his patients see a psychologist. Too bad we don’t have one within 100 miles of my home. I’ll just keep reading my health and weight loss books and being thankful for all of you, my support group!

    07/29-189.4-(Trend Weight: 189.7)- My weight is the same as my last actual weigh-in but my trend weight has went way up due to the wild swings and fluctuations in my weight over the past couple of weeks. I attribute most of that to my binge eating disorder. I’ve got to come up with something that will help. Due to July’s increases, I feel like I’ll just be chasing my own tail in August. I just want to hang my head and cry. All my clothes feel tight. I weighed 12 pounds less in March.

    07/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    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

I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

    June 14: 145 😁 Anther good week. Very excited - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii (leave Sunday). We have to drop off Allyson at JFK and said as long as we are there, why don't we use those frequent flyer miles that we have used in AGES! We found a good deal on a condo on VRBO - so have a full kitchen. My plan is to eat two meals in and go out for one. When I do go out - DON'T finish my plate - bring half home for breakfast or lunch the next day. Limit the alcohol. I won't let it be a free for all - I never came home from a vacation saying I wish I ate or drank more! Here on my findings on the Nutrisystem experiment.
    1. It works - I got over my plateau and continued to lose - lost almost 5 pounds in two weeks. 😁
    2. It was super easy to follow 😁 but, had we had to cook two meals daily - one for me, one for Greg. ☹️
    3. The food was edible - not fantastic, not gross 😐
    4. I did not meet my protein goal most days ☹️, but met carb, fat, sodium and fiber goals almost every day 😁.
    5. Most days the calories were about 1,350 - ranging from a little under 1,200 to 1,600. I wasn't hungry. 😁
    6. I ususally eat 5 fruits/veggies a day - but switched to 4 veggies one fruit on Nutrisystem. 😐
    6. It's doable as a quick fix, I couldn't do it long term. 😐
    7. Overall - I am extremely happy with the weight loss. So overall score! 😁 But am really looking forward to cooking again! 👩‍🍳
    8. Next step - see if I gain it all back?

    June 22 147.7 I am in Hawaii and the salt from the food, and the alcohol has me all over the place this week. Up two pounds, down a pound, up a pound, down two pounds. This is me today. I have two more days in paradise and then back home to normal. I know it won't come off as quickly as it came on, but hope I can get back to where I was before the end of the month. The memories are worth it.

    June 29 144.8 😁 So happy to see. The water weight from my trip is gone. We had a fantastic time. The best part is that I did not OVER indulge. Yes, I indulged - had a small cup of ice cream every day and a drink on most days. But we ate in for breakfast every day, and most lunches. I only ate 1/2 the entre at the restaurant for dinner - bringing home the rest for Greg to snack on, or for lunch the next day. I did not feel deprived.

    Total weight lost in June: 4.8 Pounds

    Starting Weight July: 144.8

    July 6: 143.9 😁 Tough week for me health wise, but at least it didn't show up on the scale. Back to seated walks and aerobics - my knee issues are not recovering like the Dr. wants. I also have an upper respitory infection that I caught while in Hawaii - on day three of antibiotics but still feel yucky - hope it kicks in soon! On a better note - just 3.9 pounds to get out of the overweight stage! I'm hoping to hit that by my birthday the second week in August!

    July 13: 144.4 I think the health issue was taking hold. Just finished the antibiotics, hoping it's bloat and water weight from the meds.

    July 20: 144.2 I am down .2 from last week, but if I don't figure something else out won't hit my July goal- and look at that July 6 entry.

    July 27: 143.3 A little better this week. Just 4 more days in July - wasn't what I wanted but at least a loss! Doctor gave me the go ahead to resume my workouts - easing into getting back to normal. Cardio and strength routines are half sitting, half standing (no twisting of the knee). But more importantly I am back to walking. I am walking 1.5 to 2 miles in the AM, and then another mile or so on the treadmill in the evening. I forgot how much I loved it.

    July 31: 143.5 A binge on Saturday made me spike in weight, still fighting to release it. I am happy to down this month, but nowhere near my goal. Realistically getting to my ideal BMI range may take until September. But I am determined to get there. Looking forward to a fresh new month - although August has many social activities for me so will also be a tough one.

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
    Start Weight (from June 30th, 2024 ): 187.0
    Goal Weight: 183.0 (4 pound loss)

    End of Month Final Weight: 188.4
    Total Lost/Gained this Month: 1.4 lbs GAINED





    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.


    07/01-187.0-(Trend Weight: 186.6)-

    07/08-189.2-(Trend Weight: 187.2)-

    07/15-189.4-(Trend Weight: 188.6)-

    07/22-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-

    07/29-189.4-(Trend Weight: 189.7)- My weight is the same as my last actual weigh-in but my trend weight has went way up due to the wild swings and fluctuations in my weight over the past couple of weeks. I attribute most of that to my binge eating disorder. I’ve got to come up with something that will help. Due to July’s increases, I feel like I’ll just be chasing my own tail in August. I just want to hang my head and cry. All my clothes feel tight. I weighed 12 pounds less in March.

    07/31-188.4-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve started to turn it back around but am out of time for this month. I guess I’ll have to start August chasing my own tail. Eventually I’ll catch up to my starting weight and hopefully surpass it. Great job to everyone for showing up and working so hard on those changes. All good paths lead to success. See you again for August.



    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

    I'll weigh in on Saturdays to be on the same day as my other challenges (and the last day of the month).

    Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
    Jan 6: 162.8 😁
    Jan 13: 162 😁
    Jan 20: 161 😁
    Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
    Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.
    Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds

    Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
    Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
    Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
    Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month

    Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds

    Mar 2: 156.8
    Mar 9: 154.8 😁
    Mar 16: 154.2 😁
    Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
    Mar 30: 152.6 😁

    Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds

    Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
    April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
    April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
    April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
    April 30: 151.6

    Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound

    May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
    May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
    May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
    May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get the results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
    May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!

    Total lost in May - 2 Pounds

    June 8: 146.2 😁 Great week. I bought two weeks of Nutrisystem food. They were having a free month of their advantage (a la carte) plan, so I thought I would give it a try to boost my slow loss the last couple of months. I started at the end of May. Could I do it long term? - absolutely not - I love to cook and the food is already getting boring. But it worked. I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

    June 14: 145 😁 Anther good week. Very excited - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii (leave Sunday). We have to drop off Allyson at JFK and said as long as we are there, why don't we use those frequent flyer miles that we have used in AGES! We found a good deal on a condo on VRBO - so have a full kitchen. My plan is to eat two meals in and go out for one. When I do go out - DON'T finish my plate - bring half home for breakfast or lunch the next day. Limit the alcohol. I won't let it be a free for all - I never came home from a vacation saying I wish I ate or drank more! Here on my findings on the Nutrisystem experiment.

    😎🌻Happy August🌻😎

    Starting Weight August : 143.5

    August 3: 142.4 😁Flushed the remaining sodium from my binge last weekend. Starting pre-logging my food in the AM. I am not one to make a plan for a week - but do decide what I will make for dinner in the AM - so prelogging my food for the day will work for me. It has been keeping me more accountable and I know when I can add a little or take away a little for breakfast and lunch to make me under for the day. Also, reduced the calories gained by exercise down to 25% (from 50%) to see how that works.

    I'm doing the same- I've gotten lazy about logging, but good about posting so I'm going to prelog the day and see if I do better!

    Hi, I'm Jude. I'm 67 YO, 5' 2"
    My history includes large swings in weight with up to 50 lb weight gains. My goal for 2024: to change the habits that hurt me and learn how to integrate and maintain healthy eating habits for good.

    Actual:
    It looks like I've stayed just about the same, but the daily fluctuations aren't showing up in my weekly weigh-in. I'm working on better tracking practices as I get a little lazy about that, and when I get lazy about that, I get lazy about food choices.

    08/01-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.2)- Welcome to a new month and a new opportunity. I am so happy to have you all along side of me on this journey.

    08/05-188.2-(Trend Weight: 189.6)- I’m typing my weight and pink and that makes me smile. Granted, it’s only a 0.2 drop but the trend weight has also went down pretty good so I’m a happy camper. Lots of traveling this week (3 out of 5 days) so I’m not gonna lie, I’m worried about all the sitting and the restaurant food but I’m going to commit to doing the very best I can with the situation.

    I'll weigh in on Saturdays to be on the same day as my other challenges (and the last day of the month).

    Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
    Jan 6: 162.8 😁
    Jan 13: 162 😁
    Jan 20: 161 😁
    Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
    Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.
    Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds

    Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
    Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
    Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
    Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month

    Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds

    Mar 2: 156.8
    Mar 9: 154.8 😁
    Mar 16: 154.2 😁
    Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
    Mar 30: 152.6 😁

    Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds

    Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
    April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
    April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
    April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
    April 30: 151.6

    Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound

    May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
    May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
    May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
    May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get the results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
    May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!

    Total lost in May - 2 Pounds

    June 8: 146.2 😁 Great week. I bought two weeks of Nutrisystem food. They were having a free month of their advantage (a la carte) plan, so I thought I would give it a try to boost my slow loss the last couple of months. I started at the end of May. Could I do it long term? - absolutely not - I love to cook and the food is already getting boring. But it worked. I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

    June 14: 145 😁 Anther good week. Very excited - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii (leave Sunday). We have to drop off Allyson at JFK and said as long as we are there, why don't we use those frequent flyer miles that we have used in AGES! We found a good deal on a condo on VRBO - so have a full kitchen. My plan is to eat two meals in and go out for one. When I do go out - DON'T finish my plate - bring half home for breakfast or lunch the next day. Limit the alcohol. I won't let it be a free for all - I never came home from a vacation saying I wish I ate or drank more! Here on my findings on the Nutrisystem experiment.
    1. It works - I got over my plateau and continued to lose - lost almost 5 pounds in two weeks. 😁
    2. It was super easy to follow 😁 but, had we had to cook two meals daily - one for me, one for Greg. ☹️
    3. The food was edible - not fantastic, not gross 😐
    4. I did not meet my protein goal most days ☹️, but met carb, fat, sodium and fiber goals almost every day 😁.
    5. Most days the calories were about 1,350 - ranging from a little under 1,200 to 1,600. I wasn't hungry. 😁
    6. I ususally eat 5 fruits/veggies a day - but switched to 4 veggies one fruit on Nutrisystem. 😐
    6. It's doable as a quick fix, I couldn't do it long term. 😐
    7. Overall - I am extremely happy with the weight loss. So overall score! 😁 But am really looking forward to cooking again! 👩‍🍳
    8. Next step - see if I gain it all back?

    June 22 147.7 I am in Hawaii and the salt from the food, and the alcohol has me all over the place this week. Up two pounds, down a pound, up a pound, down two pounds. This is me today. I have two more days in paradise and then back home to normal. I know it won't come off as quickly as it came on, but hope I can get back to where I was before the end of the month. The memories are worth it.

    June 29 144.8 😁 So happy to see. The water weight from my trip is gone. We had a fantastic time. The best part is that I did not OVER indulge. Yes, I indulged - had a small cup of ice cream every day and a drink on most days. But we ate in for breakfast every day, and most lunches. I only ate 1/2 the entre at the restaurant for dinner - bringing home the rest for Greg to snack on, or for lunch the next day. I did not feel deprived.

    Total weight lost in June: 4.8 Pounds

    Starting Weight July: 144.8

    July 6: 143.9 😁 Tough week for me health wise, but at least it didn't show up on the scale. Back to seated walks and aerobics - my knee issues are not recovering like the Dr. wants. I also have an upper respitory infection that I caught while in Hawaii - on day three of antibiotics but still feel yucky - hope it kicks in soon! On a better note - just 3.9 pounds to get out of the overweight stage! I'm hoping to hit that by my birthday the second week in August!

    July 13: 144.4 I think the health issue was taking hold. Just finished the antibiotics, hoping it's bloat and water weight from the meds.

    July 20: 144.2 I am down .2 from last week, but if I don't figure something else out won't hit my July goal- and look at that July 6 entry.

    July 27: 143.3 A little better this week. Just 4 more days in July - wasn't what I wanted but at least a loss! Doctor gave me the go ahead to resume my workouts - easing into getting back to normal. Cardio and strength routines are half sitting, half standing (no twisting of the knee). But more importantly I am back to walking. I am walking 1.5 to 2 miles in the AM, and then another mile or so on the treadmill in the evening. I forgot how much I loved it.

    July 31: 143.5 A binge on Saturday made me spike in weight, still fighting to release it. I am happy to down this month, but nowhere near my goal. Realistically getting to my ideal BMI range may take until September. But I am determined to get there. Looking forward to a fresh new month - although August has many social activities for me so will also be a tough one.

    😎🌻Happy August🌻😎

    Starting Weight August : 143.5

    August 3: 142.4 😁Flushed the remaining sodium from my binge last weekend. Starting pre-logging my food in the AM. I am not one to make a plan for a week - but do decide what I will make for dinner in the AM - so prelogging my food for the day will work for me. It has been keeping me more accountable and I know when I can add a little or take away a little for breakfast and lunch to make me under for the day. Also, reduced the calories gained by exercise down to 25% (from 50%) to see how that works.

    August 9: 144.5 Obviously not a good sign. I was up a little from last week, and then yesterday went out for my birthday - most of the gain is probably just water weight retention - but not all of it. I knew this was going to be a tough month - another obstacle this week and the following right before weigh ins so expect this to be the trend for the next couple weeks. Hopefully I can pull off a loss by the end of the month. Fingers crossed.

    Hi, I'm Cathy, 72 and live in Nova Scotia Canada. I've been a member of MFP for quite awhile. I haven't done as well as I could have but much better than I would have done without MFP. Life, old age and health issues have side tracked me the last couple of years and I NEED to get back on track. My starting weight when I joined was 272 lbs. I was closing in on 214lbs and my first goal of 190 when things went sideways, now I am 225! My tale of woe is too long and just ordinary life stuff to go into! LOL! I have to decide to get back on track, hoping I can find my enthusiasm here.

    Goals for August
    Log daily
    Drink more water
    Exercise 3 days a week
    Stop eating blindly

    August 9th: 225

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
    Start Weight (from July 31st, 2024 ): 188.4
    Goal Weight: 184.4 (4 pound loss)

    End of Month Final Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this Month: xxxxx





    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.


    08/01-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.2)-

    08/05-188.2-(Trend Weight: 189.6)- I’m typing my weight and pink and that makes me smile. Granted, it’s only a 0.2 drop but the trend weight has also went down pretty good so I’m a happy camper. Lots of traveling this week (3 out of 5 days) so I’m not gonna lie, I’m worried about all the sitting and the restaurant food but I’m going to commit to doing the very best I can with the situation.

    08/12-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- After a week of travel and very little movement or activity (car driving, waiting rooms etc.) I decided not to weigh as it is bound to be up. I can feel it. I don’t need the discouragement on something that was difficult to control. I am going to work hard this week to get back in the groove. I typed my DNW in blue because upon last check on the scale, I was up. Have a great week everyone!

    08/19-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    08/26-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    08/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Hi everyone, the "dropout" is BACK! looks like I need to "turn the page" (yet again)!

    For the remainder of this year, I plan to weigh in on Wednesdays, because as of this Wednesday, there will be only 19 weeks left until 2025! Can you believe it? I can hardly believe that September is just two weeks from today!

    Today is my 66th birthday. The scale showed about 162 lbs. this morning, which is about 22 lbs. Higher than what I hoped to weigh by now. Can I lose it by the end of this year? Yes I can! But I need to stay focused on my goals.

    Here I go again! I will report my stats on Wednesday.

    Have a great week! 💞 Carole

    Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
    April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
    April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
    April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
    April 30: 151.6

    Total Weight Lost in April - 1 Pound

    May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
    May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
    May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!
    May 26: 150.2 Had MRI, now the waiting game to get the results and follow-up appointment. Did get to the 140s but a slow creep back. Five more days to reach my goal.
    May 31: 149.6 I made it to the 140's!

    Total lost in May - 2 Pounds

    June 8: 146.2 😁 Great week. I bought two weeks of Nutrisystem food. They were having a free month of their advantage (a la carte) plan, so I thought I would give it a try to boost my slow loss the last couple of months. I started at the end of May. Could I do it long term? - absolutely not - I love to cook and the food is already getting boring. But it worked. I contributepart of the loss due to the fact that I am off the ibuprofen medication for me knee. The Dr. had me on 600 mg - 3 times a day. From what I read, it can cause water retention. I stopped taking about the same time as I started NS. My MRI results showed a meniscus tear with moderate arthritis. I got a cortizone shot, and will start physical therapy next Friday. In the meantime, still seated cardio workouts - but did get in a 1/2 mile walk yesterday.

    June 14: 145 😁 Anther good week. Very excited - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii (leave Sunday). We have to drop off Allyson at JFK and said as long as we are there, why don't we use those frequent flyer miles that we have used in AGES! We found a good deal on a condo on VRBO - so have a full kitchen. My plan is to eat two meals in and go out for one. When I do go out - DON'T finish my plate - bring half home for breakfast or lunch the next day. Limit the alcohol. I won't let it be a free for all - I never came home from a vacation saying I wish I ate or drank more! Here on my findings on the Nutrisystem experiment.
    1. It works - I got over my plateau and continued to lose - lost almost 5 pounds in two weeks. 😁
    2. It was super easy to follow 😁 but, had we had to cook two meals daily - one for me, one for Greg. ☹️
    3. The food was edible - not fantastic, not gross 😐
    4. I did not meet my protein goal most days ☹️, but met carb, fat, sodium and fiber goals almost every day 😁.
    5. Most days the calories were about 1,350 - ranging from a little under 1,200 to 1,600. I wasn't hungry. 😁
    6. I ususally eat 5 fruits/veggies a day - but switched to 4 veggies one fruit on Nutrisystem. 😐
    6. It's doable as a quick fix, I couldn't do it long term. 😐
    7. Overall - I am extremely happy with the weight loss. So overall score! 😁 But am really looking forward to cooking again! 👩‍🍳
    8. Next step - see if I gain it all back?

    June 22 147.7 I am in Hawaii and the salt from the food, and the alcohol has me all over the place this week. Up two pounds, down a pound, up a pound, down two pounds. This is me today. I have two more days in paradise and then back home to normal. I know it won't come off as quickly as it came on, but hope I can get back to where I was before the end of the month. The memories are worth it.

    June 29 144.8 😁 So happy to see. The water weight from my trip is gone. We had a fantastic time. The best part is that I did not OVER indulge. Yes, I indulged - had a small cup of ice cream every day and a drink on most days. But we ate in for breakfast every day, and most lunches. I only ate 1/2 the entre at the restaurant for dinner - bringing home the rest for Greg to snack on, or for lunch the next day. I did not feel deprived.

    Total weight lost in June: 4.8 Pounds

    Starting Weight July: 144.8

    July 6: 143.9 😁 Tough week for me health wise, but at least it didn't show up on the scale. Back to seated walks and aerobics - my knee issues are not recovering like the Dr. wants. I also have an upper respitory infection that I caught while in Hawaii - on day three of antibiotics but still feel yucky - hope it kicks in soon! On a better note - just 3.9 pounds to get out of the overweight stage! I'm hoping to hit that by my birthday the second week in August!

    July 13: 144.4 I think the health issue was taking hold. Just finished the antibiotics, hoping it's bloat and water weight from the meds.

    July 20: 144.2 I am down .2 from last week, but if I don't figure something else out won't hit my July goal- and look at that July 6 entry.

    July 27: 143.3 A little better this week. Just 4 more days in July - wasn't what I wanted but at least a loss! Doctor gave me the go ahead to resume my workouts - easing into getting back to normal. Cardio and strength routines are half sitting, half standing (no twisting of the knee). But more importantly I am back to walking. I am walking 1.5 to 2 miles in the AM, and then another mile or so on the treadmill in the evening. I forgot how much I loved it.

    July 31: 143.5 A binge on Saturday made me spike in weight, still fighting to release it. I am happy to down this month, but nowhere near my goal. Realistically getting to my ideal BMI range may take until September. But I am determined to get there. Looking forward to a fresh new month - although August has many social activities for me so will also be a tough one.

    😎🌻Happy August🌻😎

    Starting Weight August : 143.5

    August 3: 142.4 😁Flushed the remaining sodium from my binge last weekend. Starting pre-logging my food in the AM. I am not one to make a plan for a week - but do decide what I will make for dinner in the AM - so prelogging my food for the day will work for me. It has been keeping me more accountable and I know when I can add a little or take away a little for breakfast and lunch to make me under for the day. Also, reduced the calories gained by exercise down to 25% (from 50%) to see how that works.

    August 9: 144.5 Obviously not a good sign. I was up a little from last week, and then yesterday went out for my birthday - most of the gain is probably just water weight retention - but not all of it. I knew this was going to be a tough month - another obstacle this week and the following right before weigh ins so expect this to be the trend for the next couple weeks. Hopefully I can pull off a loss by the end of the month. Fingers crossed.

    August 18: 147.3 Girls trip to the casino, just got home after three days of junk food, alcohol, and out to dinners. Expected increase. Back to it for the next three days, then another trip for my anniversary. Once home on the 23rd am going full stop until the end of the month.
