My goals this September are to:
🍃Get outside and 🚶♀️or 🚴
🍃Enjoy the season
🍃Log daily
🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day

2024 Loss: 21.5

Pounds to Goal #1: 7.5 (Five pounds under ideal)
Pounds to Goal #2: 14.5 100 Pounds lost - If I don't make it by Jan 8, 2025 my 2 year anniversay I'm calling it maintenance time. Unless of course I don't reach the Goal #1 - I certainly hope I get that done before Jan 8, 2025!
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.
Total weight lost in August: 1.1 Pounds
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.
August 24: 144.6 I got back to my starting weight just before I left for my anniversary trip - but up again. No obstacles in my way for a while - so now I am determined more than ever to first get below my starting August weight (need to do that before the end of the month) and then get to the ideal BMI weight 139 (hopefully by the end of September) and then onward to my goal weight or 100 pounds lost (135 or 128). It depends on how long it takes to get to the 135 and how I feel at that point if I continue. I can do it!
August 31: 142.4Well at least it was a loss from the last day of July - but the same as August 3! Goodbye August - September is going to be a good month - I can feel it I will get to the "ideal BMI range" come hell or high water! Just 2.5 pounds to go.
🍂 🍎 Hello September 🍎🍂
Sep 7: 142.5 An ok week for me - up and down all week.

Happy weekend everyone!
I'm going to start weighing in on both Sundays and Wednesdays but will only report on Wednesdays. The Sundays will give me a midweek check-in to see whether I need to tweak my intake and/or activity to "atone" for any potential lapses in those areas over the weekend.
I won't be posting my stats weekly anymore because they take up too much space; however, I will post before and after stats on New Year's Day to show overall progress.
So far I've been sticking to plan since September 1st. I'm feeling very focused right now.
Tomorrow I'm going to an outdoor Greek festival. I ought to get a lot of steps in with all the line dancing! We shall see...
Have a great weekend!

I know it isn't a lot, but it's 2 lbs in the wrong direction so I need to be aware- September is my "danger month" every year; I think it's the change of season...1 -
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.

Start Weight (from August 2024 ): 190.0
Goal Weight: 186.0 (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.
09/01- DNW -(Trend Weight: DNW )-
09/02-192.4-(Trend Weight: 191.5)- Holy Cow Batman!!! September will be an especially challenging month for me but THE BUCK STOPS HERE! It HAS to! Happy Labor Day to everyone celebrating.
09/09-191.0-(Trend Weight: 190.9)- Up & Down all week ending with less than last week so I guess I’ll be grateful for that. Today I travel for the next two days and will be back home by Tuesday night. Time for some medical appointments including my mammogram and oncology appointment. Routine re-checks. Don’t forget to schedule your Mamm’s my friends. October will be Breast Cancer Awareness month and it’s important to get your screenings and to catch any problems early. I share because I care! Have a great week.

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.
Total weight lost in August: 1.1 Pounds
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.
August 24: 144.6 I got back to my starting weight just before I left for my anniversary trip - but up again. No obstacles in my way for a while - so now I am determined more than ever to first get below my starting August weight (need to do that before the end of the month) and then get to the ideal BMI weight 139 (hopefully by the end of September) and then onward to my goal weight or 100 pounds lost (135 or 128). It depends on how long it takes to get to the 135 and how I feel at that point if I continue. I can do it!
August 31: 142.4Well at least it was a loss from the last day of July - but the same as August 3! Goodbye August - September is going to be a good month - I can feel it I will get to the "ideal BMI range" come hell or high water! Just 2.5 pounds to go.
🍂 🍎 Hello September 🍎🍂
Sep 7: 142.5 An ok week for me - up and down all week.
Sep 14: 141😁 Worked hard all week and it paid off!1 -
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!🩷
