    I usually weigh on Thursdays. I thought some mid-week accountability might be a good idea, so I will add my weight here on Mondays. 😊

    5/30: 183

    I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I figure better late than never!

    Hi I’m Kristen, 40’s, AZ.

    I’ve been on MFP and other apps off and on for many years, but I really struggle with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I get really wrapped up in my work (HS choir director) and convenient choices often win out over healthy choices.

    I was at my highest weight ever (293.8) when I went in for my annual physical this month and my blood pressure and blood sugar were on the high side as well. That lit a fire under me to get my s*** together and get back to a healthy lifestyle! I’ve been focusing on tracking my food, staying within my calorie goal, and eating more protein and less carbs.

    My goal is to be down at least 10 pounds when I go back for my follow up visit on August 19. Ultimately I am hoping to avoid blood pressure and diabetes meds too.

    Starting weight (July 16): 293.8
    7/24: 286.4

    I’m logging my weight daily but I’ll post here on Wednesdays
    I’m also setting some easily attainable activity goals for myself. This week, I want to fix my bike and get in some intentional activity (as in not just my usual daily activities) like a bike ride or going to the gym at least 1 day this week.

    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

    Checking in early since I reached the 10 lb mark today! My first short term goal was to drop 10 pounds before my follow up with my doctor on 8/19 and since I still have over 3 weeks to go I’m going to aim to be down at least 15 lbs by then. Can I reach 20? Maybe, but I don’t expect to keep up this rate of weight loss going much longer once the water weight is gone. I’m back at school this week so less time for meal prep too. Wish me luck!

    Starting weight (7/16): 293.8
    7/24: 286.4
    ⭐️7/27: 283.4⭐️
    Total loss: 10.4

    Hi Carole, I’m curious what scale/app you use. Looks like a lot of useful stats!

    @Bullieholiday Congrats on your excellent start, and I'm cheering you on for your doctor's visit! You can definitely do another 5 lbs by then. Happy meal prepping!

    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
    @Bullieholiday, That's amazing! Congrats! 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:

    @deepwoodslady I also had a bad month. But I don’t think of it as wasted: I’m looking at what happened, and how I can change my response in the future. Because what happened this month can happen again… and the only way I can get a better result next time is if I figure out how to deal with it differently. You keep pretty detailed notes every week, that’s a great opportunity now for a look back and a new & improved plan going forward!

    Wednesday weigh in/check in!

    Good this week: staying within my calorie range; meal prepping, treated myself to a lunch out with my department; met the 15 pound goal (15.8) already for my doctor’s appointment. I’ll aim for 20 since I still have 2 and a half weeks. As long as I keep up with this lifestyle change I’ll be happy!

    Not so good: didn’t fix my bike or do any activity.

    Goals for this week: continue meal prep and bringing lunch and snacks to work. First day with students is tomorrow so I will now have teaching and class prep in the mix too. I was at work past 9 tonight to make sure I’m set for tomorrow, so I can’t let that become a trend…
    My roller derby league starts back up on Sunday so I will get activity in by going to practice!

    August goals:
    Continue meal prep and bringing food to work
    At least 1 activity day per week (mostly derby)
    Loose another 8 pounds for a total of 23.8 pounds lost.

    Starting weight (7/16): 293.8
