    Hi everyone,
    Back for another run at this. (7/18). I was doing this challenge last summer and enjoyed some success with support from the MFP community. I met a few great people who helped me stay focused on my weight loss journey. Good luck to all of you on your own journey.

    * Just realised I hit my goal for July! Will revise and aim to be at 82kg by the end of July. Slowly but surely it is starting to go down! It is so much harder to lose weight in menopause 😭. Before if I was ‘only’ lost 2kg in a month I would be so disheartened! Now though I am just glad to see the scales go down instead of up!!!

    June was a tough month. I felt off track and over the last couple of weeks, I was eating and exercising in maintenance. I'm really pushing to get back on track in July. I have a vacation coming up at the end of August and hope to finally get back in the 100 club. It's been a while!

    Original (9/6/2023): 241.2
    July Start Weight: 207

    **Leave for a small long weekend trip 7.25.2024 so hopefully I can maintain or continue losing through the end of the month!**

    weight.png

    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 ): 187.0

    Goal Weight: 183.0 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight 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)-


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

    07/14-189.4-(Trend Weight: 188.6)-


    07/21-188.0-(Trend Weight: 188.5)- I made more progress through the week but managed to sabotage it yesterday eating lunch while out-of-town and eating too many snacks last night. Still down a tad from last week but feel like I’m dog paddling when I could be doing breast strokes.

    07/28-189.2-(Trend Weight: 189.5)- Its been a horrible week weight-wise. A little travel and a lot of lack of willpower at home. Something needs to change. It’s something in my mentality. I’m burned out I think and I’ve got to figure this out. More travel tomorrow, several hours each way to medical appointment. Dinner will be out. That just doesn’t help although honestly I’m looking forward to it. This year I have lost some weight in Jan, Feb and May. The other 4 months have been Epic Fails. I know I can do better. I also know that it’s not the occasional travels, outing or occasions that are getting me. It’s my daily habits at home. Usually those are spot on and easily make up for the social days. Not lately! I’ve got to get back in the groove. My final weigh-in will be in 3 days on the last day of July for a full accounting of the month.

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


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

    Well, I am ending the month with a knee injury. The weight I lost jumped right back on. I'm just praying the injury will heal on its own and quickly.

    I just started mfp yesterday, transitioning from 10 months on Noom. Looking to stay accountable and have a community of like minded people to share with. I guess I should really start this as “August” but here goes for July 😊

    Full disclosure we have been traveling nonstop for the last few months and it has been challenging to maintain much less lose. I am very happy that I was able to make good choices, drink lots of water and exercise regularly which helped balance out the treats. Now that we are home for a while I really want to drop those last few pounds and maintain. I’ve lost 55 lbs so far, I know I can do this!

    @MaryM6316 You did the right thing by jumping right in and not waiting. After all, "there's no time like the present". Welcome! It's wonderful to have you here!
