Here we go. Starting weight 205 (had a fun time in NYC though). Shooting for that 15 lb loss. Wouldn't be upset about more. I'll check in on Mondays.
02/05: 205. Let's get it!
02/12: 201. A fair bit of that was just not having all the vacation food in my guts. And losing all that salt related water weight.
02/19: 204. Kinda bounced off that 200# floor. I was right at 200 for a couple of days, then food happened. I've hit that stage in weight loss where my workouts are suffering. Lifting much less weight despite still going to the gym regularly. My joints ache. Had to do a bit of a refeed to feel better about the workouts, but it had consequences.

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Jan 31): 181.6
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 169.6
CHALLENGE ACTUAL 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.

02/06-183.0-(Trend Weight: 183.2)-
02/13-182.0-(Trend Weight: 181.5)- Big jump on the scale after travel yesterday. I had a very good week so my weight was actually down by several pounds more until the travel day. Hopefully much of this is water weight. Great news at the endocrinologists office yesterday! My A1C diabetic testing showed such an improvement that he is releasing my diabetes care back to my family doctor! He says his job is to fix things and then send me back so that is what he is doing. So I feel so “fixed”!!!! All the changes are really making a difference. Getting some of the pounds off has really contributed too. I plan on keeping my diabetes at the forefront of my journey! He was extremely happy with my cholesterol (medication must be working) and he was not at all concerned with my kidney function that I was so worried about (the eGFR test) because my urine protein test looks very good. I am so relieved. I know I have a lot of health issues (so many more than what I’ve just mentioned) but it is such a relief to hear that I’m on the right track with changes I’ve been making in my lifestyle.
02/20-179.4-(Trend Weight: 180.6)- While I’m happy to have gotten back down into the 170’s, I must confess that I traveled today and I know the scale will be back up by several pounds tomorrow, more than likely. I will spend all week working to get my rightful place back into the 170’s so I can hopefully post another drop next week. It’s like chasing my own tail, but I chase I will. Hey, I can use the exercise, right?

Every year, going on 10 years, I make my OZ mate a snowman. Well I gave up on getting the right snow with all the rain, so I finished this masterpiece 💞 I even put makeup on to match the snowman. His lips are leftover frosting from the Valentine parties, my is Revlon, he's tastes better 🤣

@Paz922 it started 8 years ago when I stepped on a screw. My diabetes didn't help the healing process at all. It added to continuous bone infections. I used to go through that day that I stepped on the screw over and over in my mind. I finally released it because I can't change it. If you could cut the diabetes off before your affected by it that would be a wonderful achievement!!
I've been so stuck mentally. I've kept with my set habits that I'm making into permanent parts of my daily routine. I haven't completed them all but have shown up for them and acknowledged my effort and am giving myself some grace.

Still looking for a scale. Don't really want to weigh myself but I really need to know how I'm doing while on vacation. Going to try today.4 -

02/27-179.4-(Trend Weight: 180.2)- 7 whole days of all we go through on these journeys and not one dribble or drool of progress. The night time snacking has really gotten to me during this past week and there have been some emotional situations to deal with. But I had hoped that my good habits were a bit stronger. My meals have been on target and my exercise pretty steady. It’s the night time snacking, specifically the cravings for chocolate. I am no closer to conquering that demon than I was 20 years ago. Sugar, Chocolate. Pure Evil and they don’t fight fair in the battles. I am happy to see that my trend weight has dropped this week which reflects that I did hit some good weights along the way. I must strive for lasting results and better habits. It needs to be a sustainable way of life.

Joining in a week late since I was on vacation. I gained a bit of the weight I lost in January, but a week of over indulgence in food and drink on a cruise ship will do that to you! No regrets…just need to get back on track! Thanks for letting me join in.

Random stuff about me:I am 59 years old this month (ouch). I currently live in Texas with my hubby and crew of kitty babies. I am a neonatal nurse practitioner and work 24hour shifts in a busy NICU. If it looks like I disappear on random days…that’s why! About 10 years ago I lost 135 pounds. Never made it to goal but just sort of leveled off at ~200 pounds. Over time I gained back nearly 50. Working on getting back at least to my low weight of 200. I would like to eventually make it to 150 where I think I would be comfortable.
