MaggieGirl135

Hi! Didn’t give a few details last time…early 60’s, 5’4”, tired of going up and down a bit (all the time!) weight-wise:

8-1. 149.5 lbs
8-8. 147.2 lbs

Good luck, everyone!

Hello! I got ahead of myself and weighed on Monday instead of today. 🤦‍♀️

Being in the challenge helped me to make better choices this week. I made it to the gym for a strength training class on Monday and Wednesday (I plan to go MWF), and tracked my food five days (aiming for 7 next week).

Hope everyone had a good first week. Let’s do this! 😊

Thank you, @RubyRed427 !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired, however...we watch our Grandsons during the week. Collin is 18 months and is our Morning Duty. Ronan is in 2nd Grade and is our Afternoon Duty.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out. The boys can be exhausting...

Total Loss/Gain:

I had an appointment with an orthopedist today. It is confirmed that I have osteoarthritis as well as rheumatoid arthritis. I got a corticosteroid injection and will get an x-ray tomorrow.

Me: 53 year old female, have had RA for 22 years (taken off meds in March and have had multiple pains and swelling since May). I'm looking forward to getting the pain managed again so that I can be as 'normal' as before and get back to exercising, walking and eating properly - my jaws are sore and it's difficult to eat, thankfully, my apatite is low as well. I expect some weight gain and having to manage the balancing act of calories in and calories out.

Have a good week!

Looking forward to this challenge, it’s what I need right now, refocus, recommit,

Up this week but not overly surprised as have been travelling this past week. Bit disappointed my planning wasn’t as good as normal - especially with regards to snacks while on the move but you live and learn! Hoping for a better week next week.

Planning on focusing on better sleep, better planning and incorporating more exercise into my day …

I’m excited to see this challenge. Thanks for starting it! Currently at 155. Want to get to 145. Don’t know if I can do it in 3 months but any weight loss is a win.

A big gain last week. I was doing a long distance walk, 72 miles over 6 days. No tracking calories, but eating big breakfasts in hotels, eating out at night, lots of carbs and snacks, and it shows! But we had a great time, great weather, back to tracking now, hoping to be 147 pounds by the next holiday in September.

@Emkaygirl1 Hi, you were asking about my walking holiday on the north East Coast of England, we're back now, we had such a good time. It was very tiring, 12 miles a day average. And I gained a few pounds!
I was trying to insert a photo but can't work it out how to do it Oh well, it's a beautiful area of the country, gorgeous beaches and sand dunes.

Back to tracking calories now
