    Good Monday Morning!

    One of the hardest things to do is own the scale.…believe me, I know. But it's just as important to see the gains as it is to see the losses. And to remember that the body doesn't lose weight the way our minds want it to. Our body is set up to resist weight loss because it perceives it as famine, so it holds onto as much as it can for as long as it can. Eventually, it does give it up. And fluctuations are normal. Slow, weight loss is the best way to keep off what you do lose.

    Day 15—05/29— 169.8 - Back in the 160's again! Gotta try to keep it there. Have a baseball game tonight, but will take my food in with me....that seems to help. I'll be glad when this grey weather goes away for awhile. I don't have as much ambition to do things.

    Day 16—05/30—170.8 - My meds are changing a bit…my Endocrinologist is putting me on extended release metformin at a higher dose, which should help with my weight loss. Going to see my egg lady today to get another 2 dozen eggs. Got more salad mix yesterday. Food is on track.

    Day 17—05/31— 170.6 - I am feeling off today.…had a bad night. Kept waking up with panic attacks, which throws everything off. And the metformin is starting to take effect in a way I hoped I could avoid. But we'll see if my body gets used to it, as the doctor suggests.

    Day 18—06/01— 170 - Today was a really good day! Went out to breakfast with the SO to Chegg....had an egg white breakfast burrito. Then took a walk....was a gorgeous day for a walk. Wish every day could be like this...except the Phillies lost again. Oh well.

    Day 19—06/02 — 170.6 - Hoping to get more done around the apartment today. That will be my exercise. I got a volunteer (the SO) to be my sous chef for meatball making this week. He will get spaghetti with meatballs for his payment.

    Teri, 61 years old, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.9 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 1 Actual Weight / 7-Day Avg: 146 / 145
    Week 2 Actual Weight / 7-Day Avg: 146.2 / 145.8
    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 2): + 1.3

    Week 3

    Day 15—05/29—146.3  My eating hasn’t been bad at all, so this 3-day plateau might be due to being quite sedentary over the past five or six days because of back pain. Thankfully, the pain seems to be improving, so I'm hopeful that I can start incorporating more movement again soon.

    Day 16—05/30—146.6 Eating was just ok yesterday. Leisurely walk with my mom & pup.

    Day 17—05/31—145.5 Still can’t work out, or do anything too strenuous, due to back pain. Thought is was improving, but I did something to it last night and boy, I felt so disabled. Feeling a little better today so I'll take a ton of ibuprofen and take my dad to visit family gravesites around the island. Will be nice to be in the sun.

    Day 18—06/01—146.4 Managed to get a workout in! Had to improvise due to my back but it felt so good to break the cycle of no exercise!

    Day 19—06/02—145.5

    Day 20—06/03—

    Day 21—06/06—

    Week 3 Start Weight: 146.3

    My Name is Donna, Age 65. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2

    Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)

    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🌻

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

My weight continues to trend down which is giving me the confidence that I need. Now, if I can avoid self-sabotage I’ll be happy! I am nearly on a very good path to reaching my overall challenge running goal of 0.7 per week. Playing catch-up is not easy and I don’t want to start THAT all over again! It’s a gloriously beautiful day here in Northern Michigan. We’ve had frost warnings every night including last night. But tomorrow is supposed to be 90 degrees! That’s what they say about Michigan: “if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute and it will change”. Have a great week everyone!

    I'm 5'3, in my mid 30s, and a SAHM to my three year old twins.

    Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3
    Round 23 Ending Weight: 142.3

    Week 1 Ending Weight: 145.3
    Week 2 Ending Weight: 146.2

    Day 15—05/29— 144.3. A nice and welcome surprise. Husband had an out patient minor surgery yesterday, so didn't have much of an opportunity to workout or walk. We also ordered dinner, which I tried to be careful about. So I'm not sure where this loss came from, other than spending a lot of time in the restroom, releasing some water weight.

    Day 16—05/30— 145.2. Despite the increase, I had a pretty good day yesterday. Food was on track and I went for a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym.

    Day 17—05/31— 143.0. A nice little drop, I'm hoping it will stick around. Food was good, a short walk and a 4 mile treadmill run.

    Day 18—06/01— 143.9. A long run in the morning left me really hungry the rest of the day, so I ended up eating too much. Other than that and some light cleaning, it was a lazy day.

    Day 19—06/02— 144.2. I did another long run, but was able to keep my eating the rest of the day somewhat under control. Overall, another pretty lazy day.

    Day 20—06/03— 145.1. Not sure why the jump. Food was good, lots of walking.

    Day 21—06/04—

    Week 3 Goal: 143.0 (Until I reach it)

That’s what they say about Michigan: “if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute and it will change”. Have a great week everyone!" —> We are having a high of 27 Celsius here in the GTA, but the sky is hazy and high quality warnings have been issued due to the wildfires. We've had such a strange spring with a few days of 30 degrees and then a week of 10 degrees. We have Newfoundland Dog, she prefers the cold weather.

    @bteri107 So glad you were able to exercise. I need to exercise for my mental health and when I cannot I get grumpy.

    @dawnbgethealthy and @Jon4189 Re "We are individuals, so what works for one person may not work for the next. … I feel like at the end of the day it needs to come from within ourselves to make lasting/sustainable lifestyle changes. We have to look after our health, nobody can do it for us." —> Halleluiah!! Absolutely, I had a work colleague who does IF and it was amazing for him. So, I tried it. Didn't work for me. In fact, I think it made things worse. Everyone is unique and absorbs nutrients and burns calories differently. This is why I round my calories IN up and my calories OUT down in my daily tracking sheet. That rounding is to account for individuality and the fact that everything is at best an estimate.

    @frankwbrown Always love your graphs. A picture speaks 1000 words.

    @dawnbgethealthy Good luck with the hearing aid. I hope they are able to fix it quickly for you.

    This is my first round. I have been on a weight loss journey for many years. Now my insurance company, my private death panel, is offering a support system. I am currently 68 years old, 5' 9" tall. My current weight is 213 lbs. My desired weight is 180. I have had pretty significant health issues over the last few years—a serious infection for more than 6 months. Luckily, I did not go septic. But there was nearly a two-year period when I could not walk. During that infection, I got down to 185. It did not last. So, I want to start a challenge.


    Week 2 Start Weight: 213.9

    Week 2 Goal: 212

    It's not Dawn's renovation, it is mine. However, Dawn did have some reno's this year with new windows and doors.
