    Thank you, @mtaratoot !
    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.
    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 since we have our Grandson every morning. He's 2 years old and a pistol!!

    Totally the wrong direction! UGH! Oh well, today is a new day. I am having foot surgery on the 18th, so this could go either way this month. I just have to be reasonable, I guess.

    Week 2 check in.

    Hope everyone’s doing well.

    I had an uneventful week. I’ve been averaging 1770 / day with ave 10-12k daily steps since beginning Jan. I’ll probably stick to this for the rest of the month and see where I’m at after that.

    After 9 months, I’m only just starting to think that maybe I can do this long term rather than always yo-yo’ing like before (I’m 5’5”, 53F).

    February Start Weight: 119.7

    Maintenance Weight: 120

    January 25: 119.9

    January flew by and I pretty much maintained my wt. I know I need to crank up the exercise because that's the area I'm lacking. It wasn't that long ago all my entries were in the 260's so I'm feeling pretty good about my progress. Have a great month everyone and lets drop some LBS.

    Total loss for February: Last week was a success; a small loss. This week I gained it back and then some; I am a half pound heavier than when I started the month. I'm down 3.3 pounds for the year. At least there's ~some~ good news.

    weight.png

    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 Jan 31st ): 191.2

    Goal Weight: 187.2 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx




    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.


    02/01-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)-

    02/03-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Yesterday: IF successful. Disciplined lunch. Disciplined dinner. Too many “approved” snacks. I can’t seem to fill a craving at night. If I can just push through a night or two I would be allright. Humph….. up 0.6 overnight and not happy. It almost feels like self-sabotage everytime I feel like I’m getting close to the 180’s. Time to knock down the walls and push through any barriers. I’m tired of being spineless. I need my Warrior self back!

    02/10-195.7-(Trend Weight: 193.5)- Last night my son & I made that Chef-boy-r-dee pizza kit in a box for dinner, adding our own cheese and more pepperoni. I’m just not a big pizza eater anymore in my older age but it was delicious to me. Such a nostalgic taste. I just love that sauce that comes in the included can. It was the kid in me! I’m shocked I didn’t gain this morning! I hope it don’t creep up on me in the coming days. This is turning out to be the worst round I’ve ever had. My weight has climbed almost daily and I seem to have momentarily given up. It’s emotional eating, it’s “I’m busy” eating, it’s even self-sabotage on some of the days. I’ll try again for a better day today and a better week overall. I’ve had a personal specific , shall I say “project?”, hanging over my head for the past week that I finally pulled the trigger on, made decisions on and acted on. Perhaps having that in my rearview mirror will help. While I still feel heavily burdened with so much, I hope that this little bit of relief will be just enough to help move me forward in my journey and backward in my weight.

    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

    February 28th:

    2L water daily ✔️
    Cal Deficit daily ✔️
    6000+ steps daily ✔️
    400kcal burned daily ✔️
    90 min active time daily ❌️ 2 days I JUST missed the window
    3 work outs per week ✔️ all cardio based. Next week I'm going to aim for strength based.

    I'm not impressed with a gain this week, but I'm also not surprised. I've been significantly more active and while I've been in deficit what I have eaten hasn't been healthy. More carbs than what I usually consume for sure.
