Hi All!!!
So I slacked off last the last two or so weeks of January.... I stopped logging and checking in, and ate a lot more freely; however I did not gain. This is good.
This is the month that I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, whatever that is, LOL. I'm starting the month at 126.8 pounds; my goal will probably be somewhere around 123-125. I'm hoping to know when I get there. Just to have a concrete goal to shoot for, let's say it's 124.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for February: 124.0 lbs
February 1: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 2: 128.0 Hopefully just a temporary gain from our big meal last night.

@andreajinhe my guess is you didn't see the ground hog behind you putting his thumb on your scale this morning. Good luck the rest of this month. Beware of Superbowl 🏈 and Valentine's Day

Hi all, I'm Kim from Ohio a new member.

GW: 120
As a Nanny and school Transportation Aide, I have noticed I'm in need of accountability. Eating what's left on the kiddos plate, wonderful cooks and bakers at the bus garage bring in good great food has been difficult to turn away from.
My goal for this month is to stick with logging all I eat and trying to stay accountable on here. Meet accountability partners. March is my bday month. Hopefully I can lose 8 to 10 lbs by then.5 -

My goals for February :
⚖️Weigh- in daily

Get back down to under 200 pounds
Starting weight 2/1 ⚖️ 214.8
2/2 ⚖️ 215.6. ✍️ way over calories for the day. Logged it all. Putting my food in the diary this morning helped lift the weight off my shoulders and start today fresh. The popcorn probably ∆ my weight today4 -

@kimfurry68 Welcome. It's so nice to have you here. That bus garage food.....well that certainly would be hard to pass up. For starters, maybe you can not worry about saying no. Say yes, to Very Small Portions of Only The Most Tempting. You can always graduate from there later when you get tired of seeing the same old foods. Sometimes when I do this sort of thing I just look at it as a much needed exercise in food control. Something I do need to practice and get good at. Just an idea but I hope it helps.3 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from 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!

This Challenge Starting Weight (from Jan 31): 181.6
Goal: 177.6 (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.
02/01-183.4-(Trend Weight 183.0)- WTH? I did NOT expect this. Could it be the travel & restaurant from two days ago? Could it be the birthday celebration complete with cake/ice cream catching up? Could it be day 2 of no TMI? Could it be the worst sleep last night that I’ve had in years? Maybe it’s all one big ball of wax (or fat) all rolled up into one. In any case, I feel cheated when I probably shouldn’t. I guess I’ll just start off this challenge chasing my own tail and hope it doesn’t take too long to catch it! I have partial news on my friend Diana—her pet scan and bone density scans came back that her tumor is isolated in her lung. Next stop will be a needle biopsy through the back and then an oncologist to find out exact staging, type of lung cancer, treatment options if any and prognosis. They have already said it was cancer so the biopsy is to further identify. I was so happy to hear it hasn’t metastasized but there is still a lot up in the air. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.
02/02-181.8-(Trend Weight 182.8)- Today is my typical late weigh-in for Friday. No TMI x 3 so that is a little worrisome. It was a good day yesterday. I stuck to my diet plan and did a moderate amount of exercise. I was in bed by midnight so I could get up for the school bus with DGS today. Midnight is much earlier than usual for me. That really kept me from the super late night snacking. Maybe I should get in bed earlier more often although that means giving up my “me” time. I’m a Netflix junkie. I tried weighing on my old scale today which I thought was broken. I kept it just in case it was a moisture thing etc. I moved it around in several places and the weight and fat % was consistent. It puts me at about 1.5 lbs. less than this new one. Which one do I believe? Of course, I want to believe the old one! For now, I will stick to this new one since I’ve already paid for it. But it made this beautiful sunny winter day in Michigan seem a little brighter today than I thought was possible. Happy Groundhog’s Day! It is reported that he did not see his shadow indicating an early spring. That never happens in my neck of the woods. Our last snowfall is usually in early May.

Okay, so I need some help here.
What is on my mind: As a diabetic I want to protect my kidneys (protein is tough on them). However, as an older person over 60 and someone trying to lose weight, I want to protect my muscle.
When I google my recommended protein intake, all the calculators and manual mathematical calculations put me at about 65 or 66 grams per day. That seems low to me and so very easy to reach. And yet I read all the posts on so many challenges where people are eating protein bars, drinking protein shakes etc. trying to reach their goals. I'm confused. Even Harvard Medical School is recommending 65 gr per my weight.
I would love it if those of you that have time will chime in on this for me. I'm looking for your opinions as well as your knowledge and/or experience with it. I need to know if I should tweak my macros. Right now I have mine set for 25% which gives me grams that are often much higher than the recommendations.
Thanks for any help you guys can give. I am posting this on a couple of my challenges and look forward to any and all responses.

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a while now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

We are kind of in the city and no treadmill, so think I will be doing most of my steps in front of youtube. We are going to conquer the Chain of Lakes Trail while we are here 4.7 miles (one way).

@deepwoodslady Hi! Funny you should ask about protein intake- I saw a registered nutritionist on Wed of this week and she calculated my recommended protein at about .5 grams/lb based on moderately active exercise. However, it depends on your particulars, so you can calculate it, anywhere from .36 minimum. Seems like .4-.6 grams per lb is a safe range. There' a good article in health.Harvard.edu on just this subject.5

* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in January- it's working well for me

I'm catching up here. It took me a bit to get back to posting again. January was all over the place with medical and work stuff, and I backed away from weighing/logging every food item. I've kept up with working out, and I've added biking back into the mix in addition to aerobic exercise, but the weight of course went up without monitoring food. My goals right now are to get back on track with healthier food, keeping up with workouts and sleep, and cut down on any snacking. I may not post daily, but I'll be tracking it all on my own.
Welcome to all the new folks in the group!
@HASWLRS and @annieb45, I am so sorry for your losses. Just sending you some warm thoughts.
@deepwoodslady I hope your friend will get all the care necessary to get her through this.
@ozdeelite Your new puppy is freaking adorable!
@stormywxs288 You crack me up! But you are doing so well, and I'm super happy for all of your progress. I hope your groundhog predictions come true!
Have a great weekend, everyone.7
