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...
Heaviest: 192.2
Round GW: 148.0
UGW: 145.0

Great. I am at week four and my clothes are feeling looser. Only about 4 lbs down. Patience. Focus on the first week and don't beat yourself up if you stumble.

Welcome to our new friends! It's never too late to start! We're happy you are here.

Just came from yoga- I love my Wednesday evenings, because I go to yoga and afterwards, I feel amazing. Really transformed. I do need to add one more evening exercise... I love Pilates. But the place by me is small and only has six reformers, so there is often a waitlist.

One month nearly done ... two more months of this challenge!! Looking forward to more progress, no matter how little.

Good morning!

I haven’t been logging food consistently and it shows on the scale. I am focusing this week on logging everyday and staying within my calorie range. As much as I hate to admit it, that is the ONLY way I will get this weight off. 😆 And I don’t want another week of gaining!

Starting weight: 186
Challenge Goal: 176

Not as good as I hoped but a loss is better than a gain. I know where I could improve so my goal for September is to work on those areas.

NikMar

My name is Nikki, and I'm 5'4" (on a good day!). I'm based on the south coast in the UK. I'm in my 50s and work full time as a teacher. I'm pretty active - but there's always room for some more. A friend reminded me of MFP - and seeing that my weight is creeping up, I thought I would give it go...again! My aims are to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and to reduce my carbohydrate intake.

My CW (15 Aug) is 148
My GW is 133
My UGW is 126 - although that is very optimistic!

I weigh in on Thursdays.

08 Aug - 150
15 Aug - 148
22 Aug - 145.4 - it has been a good week!
I have been mindful of how many starchy carbohydrates I eat and trying to eat less - this seems to be working well. I have been tracking my meals and exercising more - using every excuse to walk a few more steps. Does anyone have any recommendations on upping the amount of protein?
29 Aug - 147 - not such a good week!
I have been tracking, but it looks like I need to keep an eye on what I am eating at lunch times - if I eat more at lunch then have a big dinner, it doesn't work well on the scales. Unfortunately, we had some gorgeous bread and cheese for lunch - and I ended up eating lots! I did lots of walking, and body combat classes, but this isn't enough! I'm now back at work, so hopefully being busy will help to keep me focused.

HW 206.0 lbs back in July 2023

8/1 185.6
8/12 184.5
8/17 182.9
8/23 185.1
8/27 184.0
9/1 182.4

I'm feeling pretty good. Lately, I've been walking a neighbor's dog who is so calm and sweet. It gets me outside of the house.
I also finally utilized my Fitbit subscription to do a 12 min. Pilates arm and core workout on their app.
I've been doing my "Sword" (name brand) physical therapy exercises. Through my insurance company, I signed up for free physical therapy. You get a monitor, sensors, etc. And you do a 16 min. workout.
Yoga on Wednesday is a highlight for me.
It is all adding up!

Nice to see all of you posts! They keep me motivated!
