    Started running this week and my diet is still incredibly limited. But got past my target for this month.

    Next weigh in is in a few days so I don't expect a massive change from now until then.

    The last few days have been super busy and a little stressful so I haven’t made the greatest of choices when the snack attacks happen. I had both wine and peanuts after dinner a couple days in a row! And throw in leftover jelly bellies from our party, oh my.

    I want to spend some time this weekend thinking about how I’m going to do things differently in September so I have no gain while on my upcoming cruise!

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
    January 1, 2024 Weight: 150.0 (10-day average 146.8)
    ]July 27 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 151.6 (10-day average 151.7)
    August goal: Get back to lower end of maintenance weight range
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    July 27: 151.6 (10-day average 151.7)
    August 3: 154.6 (10-day average 153.2)
    August 10: 142.4 (10-day average 154.2)
    August 17: 155.4 (10-day average 153.8)
    August 24: 157.8 (10-day average 156.5)
    August 31: 156.0 (10-day average 157.4)

    Total loss for August: Another rotten month. I ended August over five pounds heavier than I started. At least the last week was going back in the right direction, but the average is still catching up. Onward to September!

    Stick to it!

    Didn't make my goal for August. Weight loss seems to have slowed down to a crawl now. I am still eating healthy and watching portion size, but what I haven't been doing is using the app to record my calories these last two weeks. I think that's what is doing me in. I will have to go back to that for September. Good luck to all of you!

    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 July 31st, 2024 ): 188.4

    Goal Weight: 184.4 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: Last known weight in August 190.0

    Weight lost/gained this month: 1.6 lbs Gained



    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.


    08/01-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.2)-

    08/04-189.2-(Trend Weight: 189.8)-

    08/11-

    08/18-

    08/25-190.0-(Trend Weight: 190.8)-

    08/31-I’m taking a break from the weights during this off & on travel that keeps the numbers askew. I will start next month with my last known August weight. I hope September will be better for me personally, but my calendar is already full with travel dates so I have to admit it, I’m very nervous. I’ll do all I can when I can and hope that I have enough healthy habits to keep it mostly in check. See you next round!


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's
