@cattherien @live2walk @deepwoodslady . Without the bloating I can definitely breathe easier. Despite catheter I think I feel better than before. Not sure if I’m supposed to exercise though - just getting stir crazy from being inside. I’m not sure how long it will be for results- it’s the weekend now so probably a few days. Weight coming down !

Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!
Welcome to October!
Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.
My goals this October are to:
🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
🍃Get outside and 🚶♀️or 💃🏻 inside
🍃Enjoy the season
🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day
It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

Yesterday was a relatively quiet day; even including a small birthday party for a grandson. I'm off work today, and need to do laundry, clean bathrooms, get the fridge organized, dishes done, and make a pot of chili con carne for dinner. My normal meal prep days are Monday and Tuesday each week, but with my first eye surgery on Monday and a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, I might not get any cooking done. On the plus side though, with Allen being out of work, he can take over that task for me when I'm recovering, if need be. A lot depends on how much blurry vision I have after the surgery. The way the surgeon talks about it, I'll be back at work on Wednesday; so maybe it'll be just a minor inconvenience Monday morning and that's it.
@deepwoodslady yup probably just from soy sauce and msg in the Chinese food. I hope you have a good day today with your DD and DGS.
@FaZizzle oh I'm sorry about the nausea. 😔 Was your car done in time for your class?
@ozdeelite very glad to hear that you can breathe easier! I hope the discomfort from the drain continues to lessen as it slowly removes the excess fluid. Sorry to hear about your chicken patties!

And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

@ozdeelie - I have never had luck with chicken patties - learned that I have to either bake or air fry them for them to not turn into a mess.4

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

This Challenge Starting Weight (from Sept 30th): 193.6
Goal: 189.6 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx**********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************
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.

10/10-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.6)-
10/11-193.8-(Trend Weight 193.6)- Well, there’s the massive jump-up from the travel and the Chinese Food. It’s actually much higher than I expected since it didn’t seem that I ate a whole lot. Hopefully a lot of it is sodium induced retention. All the more reason to try to be extra careful while DD and DGS are here during the weekend. Clothing has just been getting tighter and tighter since Feb/Mar and this merry-go-round isn’t feeling too merry right now. I’m committing to a good day today No Matter What!
10/12-191.4-(Trend Weight 193.4)- Nearly back to my pre-travel weight. The 0.2 diff is likely the true gain from the Chinese food. Stomach feels a little less bloated/smaller but not nearly as good as it was when I hit the high 170’s. So much work to do but feeling pretty positive and up for the challenge today. Having the scale go back down put me in a much more positive place mentally. I made tacos yesterday for dinner for DS, DD and DGS. I needed another day of sodium as much as I needed a hole in the head. NSV…. They wolfed down the tacos and I ate my “diet food” according to my pre-logged plan. Yay Donna for being strong (this time). Enjoy your Saturday!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

10/12-191.4-(Trend Weight 193.4)- Nearly back to my pre-travel weight. The 0.2 diff is likely the true gain from the Chinese food. Stomach feels a little less bloated/smaller but not nearly as good as it was when I hit the high 170’s. So much work to do but feeling pretty positive and up for the challenge today. Having the scale go back down put me in a much more positive place mentally. I made tacos yesterday for dinner for DS, DD and DGS. I needed another day of sodium as much as I needed a hole in the head. NSV…. They wolfed down the tacos and I ate my “diet food” according to my pre-logged plan. Yay Donna for being strong (this time). Enjoy your Saturday!
10/13-192.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)- I have No Idea under God’s green earth how I gained almost an entire pound since yesterday. My diet was on point. I can only say that my exercise was lacking and most prominently it was an Extremely STRESSFUL day. In fact, the whole weekend has been tense and stressful with my daughter. Her fragile mental health can be difficult for both of us. Maybe that can cause a hormonal shift or weight gain for me? I’m expecting another stressful day but one that I also will stick to my food plan. I can pull out of this.

I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.
@deepwoodslady So sorry that it was a tough one - stress is definitely a factor is weight issues. Hoping for a big swish this week for you. 🫂

10/13-192.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)- I have No Idea under God’s green earth how I gained almost an entire pound since yesterday. My diet was on point. I can only say that my exercise was lacking and most prominently it was an Extremely STRESSFUL day. In fact, the whole weekend has been tense and stressful with my daughter. Her fragile mental health can be difficult for both of us. Maybe that can cause a hormonal shift or weight gain for me? I’m expecting another stressful day but one that I also will stick to my food plan. I can pull out of this.
10/14-194.6-(Trend Weight 193.4)- What in the world is going on with my weight? I even tried a different scale I have as a backup and the huge increase is accurate. Can stress really do all this? Back in my younger days I would LOSE weight when I was going through such worry and stress because I could hardly eat! Yesterday was a good day “diet-wise”. I did sneak in a protein drink between my lunch and dinner (it’s rare that I need anything during that time) but I fit it into my macros. I even got on the exercise bike for 22 minutes which I haven’t done in awhile. I feel like my world has just gone crazy. Today I will aim for another good day. I know I need to increase my water so I will work on that. Tomorrow I travel in the late morning for the day for another distant medical appointment. My son & I will probably eat at a great steak house they have in that city. The carbs wouldn’t be too high if it wasn’t for those fresh loaves of bread. I just wish I wasn’t fluctuating so badly prior to my travel as the restaurant and all the sitting will only add insult to my injury. Nothing I can do right now but go with the flow and trust the process. Enjoy your week my friends.

Diet: No complaints here! I tried a new protein bar (Perfect Bar) last week, and it was not worth the calories or carbs IMO. I made chili and cinnamon rolls last night for the fam, but I didn't indulge. I can't eat tomato, so it wasn't even tempting!
Exercise: A migraine took me out on Saturday, but I still snuck a walk in before it was too hot. We went to the gym on Sunday, and I'll be real - I had no motivation. I still managed 45 minutes of lifting though! Tonight is Zumba night once again. I was dragging in my morning walk, but I still did it.

I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.
@deepwoodslady I'm hoping that you have a big swish coming.
@faZizzle Good for you resisting the cinnamon rolls and for getting in your gym time even though you didn't want to.
@ozdeelite 🤞that you get some good test results. Not the way to lose weight, but glad to see your numbers come down. 🫂

Eew, I feel so sick 🤢. Ate a heap of chocolate and marshmallows now I want to vomit 🤮. The vegetables have been making me feel healthier and I’m disappointed I gorged like a pig. Anyway tomorrow will be a smoothie and vegetable lasagna.2

Diet: I messed up. I need fiber to keep things moving, and Metamucil was costing too much. We bought a new fiber gummy from Sam's, and I took it over lunch yesterday. It was so hard to chew, which meant I didn't completely chew it. It made me feel so sick, and it was a rough evening. I'm feeling better already though!
Exercise: I was so mad that I had to skip Zumba after taking those fiber gummies. I felt better this morning, but I wasn't up to a walk. Thankfully it's finally feeling like fall, so I should be able to walk either before or after Bible study this evening.

Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!
Welcome to October!
Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.
My goals this October are to:
🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
🍃Get outside and 🚶♀️or 💃🏻 inside
🍃Enjoy the season
🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day
It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

10/14-194.6-(Trend Weight 193.4)- What in the world is going on with my weight? I even tried a different scale I have as a backup and the huge increase is accurate. Can stress really do all this? Back in my younger days I would LOSE weight when I was going through such worry and stress because I could hardly eat! Yesterday was a good day “diet-wise”. I did sneak in a protein drink between my lunch and dinner (it’s rare that I need anything during that time) but I fit it into my macros. I even got on the exercise bike for 22 minutes which I haven’t done in awhile. I feel like my world has just gone crazy. Today I will aim for another good day. I know I need to increase my water so I will work on that. Tomorrow I travel in the late morning for the day for another distant medical appointment. My son & I will probably eat at a great steak house they have in that city. The carbs wouldn’t be too high if it wasn’t for those fresh loaves of bread. I just wish I wasn’t fluctuating so badly prior to my travel as the restaurant and all the sitting will only add insult to my injury. Nothing I can do right now but go with the flow and trust the process. Enjoy your week my friends.
10/15-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.2)- What a weight swing today! It’s Amazing how the physical can take on the symptoms of the emotional. Things are still not resolved in my family drama and I still feel tied up in knots. Traveling today so I will expect the scale to be up tomorrow but I will try to make all good choices even though I know I am usually over on carbs especially when I dine out. I was running in this same weight range earlier in the week so I hope this is closer to my true weight but its so hard to tell when I am feeling this stressed and not getting much sleep. Time will tell I suppose. I ate well and within plan yesterday but not enough exercise. But hey, my refrigerator and freezers are completely cleaned out and that should count for something!
