Hi Donna, @deepwoodslady,
Congratulations on your 6.4 lb. loss so far! I've started weighing in daily and that seems to help keep me on track.
I'm almost out of the 160's!
Have a nice evening,
πCarole

My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall. My highest weight was 253. I would like to lose a total of about 100 pounds and have been working on it for too many years (since 2018).
I will weigh on Wednesdays, but also on the 1st and last day of every month in order to get an account for the entire month. I will adjust my goals each week (need to lose more or need to lose less) in order for the math to add up to the 30 pound loss by the end. Iβm being optimistic at this point as we are just starting.

Not uncommon since I am a heart patient and it often pools around my ankles and abdomen. I have a prescribed water pill for when that happens that I will have to take today, like it or not. It makes me pee every 10 minutes for hours and hours so I guess Iβm stuck at home today. Anyway, I have two birthday celebrations and a holiday in the 1st week of July. I hope it doesnβt set me back too far!

Just checking in. Start weight on June 28 was 155.0. Today I am 152.0. The first few lbs are always the easiest. Hoping I do ok on the 4th of July π¬
My overall goal is 5 lbs per month so I can get back to 125 by New Year's Eve. :)

Hi everyone,
July Goal Weight (lbs.): 155 or below. (I'dΒ reallyΒ
likeΒto be closer to 150, but I'm not sure I can do that because I have regained more weight than I expected over the past couple of weeks.)Ultimate Goal Weight (lbs.): 139 or below (for BMI under 25). I'm aiming to get there by New Year's Eve.
July 02: 162.8 (Going forward, I will post weigh-ins to date with scale app stats and scale picture as of the most recent weigh-in. On July 31st I will post side-by-side before/after stats and scale pic. I forgot to include my key measurements: (bust, waist, hips and "pot") but I will post them tomorrow and each week following, with final measurements on New Year's Eve.
Have a nice evening,

Key Measurements as of 7/4:
42"-38"-40"-45" (B,W,H,P)
Scale is up today but I had a heavy meal with alcoholic beverages late last night; so I assume I should clear most that over the next few days.
Today I declared my "Independence from Alcohol"! I've tried this before, but this time, I'm going to make it stick! Empty calories? NO nutrition? Negative impact on blood pressure and other health measurements? Expensive? Who needs it? Not me! This one small change should make consistently losing one or more pounds per week much easier. So here I go!
Have a GREAT 4th of July weekend!

07/09 β 190.4 β (Trend Weight β 190.5) A tough week which included a 4 day holiday celebration for me and family which immediately followed 2 birthdays. All excuses aside, there have been a few binges, lack of sleep, slowing exercise and lack of water. I have a lot to fix.
π π π π π 07/16β-191.0 β (Trend Weight: 191.1) I am so excited about seeing Superman tomorrow. Very tall grandsons (age 17 & 19) have chosen Golden Corral while downstate for the movie. Such a treat for rural folks like us. My DGS who is autistic (age 9) will also be going with us along with my own adult autistic son. Young DGS has only been to the movies once but is finally able to handle the sound and large colorful graphics (I think). It is going to be fun. Iβll try to be reasonable at the buffet but I know that no matter what happens it will only be a couple of days to shake it off. Honestly, the real challenge is eating bad things for four days straight every week when DD and other DGS are here. Theyβve become part of my lifestyle in their current situation and Iβve got to adapt in the healthy ways that keeps me focused on my overall health and weight goals. Itβs right in front of me, I see it clearly. Iβve just got to reach harder, reach farther, touch it, then grab it up and make it my own! I have no excuses for the uptick of 0.6 in weight this week in both my scale weight and my trend weight. My only observation is that my meals were very good, my exercise and water much improved. However, my snacks at night were ridiculous. I really have made a pig of myself. I feel like a drowning person who sees a buoy in the water but the nighttime snacks just keep pushing me back, further and further away from that buoy. From saving myself. Itβs sink or swim!

Hi, @deepwoodslady! How was "Superman"? I might go see it on Sunday. I'd be very interested in reading your review!
I will report my weight and stats tomorrow.

As a HUGE Superman fan, I must say I was pretty disappointed. I must say, though, that I loved the actors they chose to play Superman and Lois Lane.
I took 3 GC age 19, 17 and 8. I thought it needed a little more back story for new potential fans and kids. I thought it was full of actions, which is good, but maybe too much action and not enough Clark Kent.
I don't think I care to ever see it again, which is sad. I hope for something better in the future and it would be great if they use these same actors again, that was the only redeeming part IMO.

Hi everyone, Weigh-in day today. Yesterday I was less, but I'm going to report for today anyway.
@deepwoodslady, Sorry you were disappointed. I might go see it anyway. Hopefully, it will be all right.

My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall. My highest weight was 253. I would like to lose a total of about 100 pounds and have been working on it for too many years (since 2018).
I will weigh on Wednesdays, but also on the 1st and last day of every month in order to get an account for the entire month. I will adjust my goals each week (need to lose more or need to lose less) in order for the math to add up to the 30 pound loss by the end. Iβm being optimistic at this point as we are just starting.

@Walela617 Carole, I don't know why more people haven't joined this challenge. I am very excited to see what I can do by the end of the year! Thanks for starting this.

Hi @deepwoodslady, You're welcome! Me too! I'm hoping to hit my goal to weigh 139 lbs. or less by the New Year!

Hello! π I have just come back to MFP after at least a year away (been on and off of here for years, and really value the community). I've gained some weight since Christmas and still haven't lost it, and I wanted to come find a challenge group that had the end date of late December, and thought this is perfect!
My SW is 183
My GW is 140
I've never been below 149 on this journey, and I want to reach my goal before my 40th bday next year. π

Hi friends, I am still here.
I am a huge Superman fan. I grew up with Christopher Reeves as Superman and I loved those movies. I still plan on seeing this, but I will probably be like you.. disappointed. I was disappointed in the newer Raiders of the Lost Ark movies. Nothing can beat the first one. It was magical.
5/2 168.9Β
5/7 169.1
5/16 170
5/20 169.9
5/24 169. 5
6/4 170.1
6/27 171.1
7/11 171.0
7/24 171.1
But at the doctors office with clothing on I was 169 lbs.Β
I am just maintaining at this weights for 6 months. I am going to the doctor for a physical next month and I will discuss this with him.
Little story: I went to the doctor recently for a problem, and she spoke to me abut my weight and said do you need a nutritionist? I said No thanks, because I know what I should be doing, but I just don't.
She couldn't understand that. She is probably very disciplined. I said I just go in "panic mode" when I am overstressed or anxious, so I eat snacks or drink wine, and she seemed puzzled by my comments. (I don't think she deals with problems that way.) She told me about being mindful and think before I eat. Think it throughβ¦Of course, she is right, but I obviously don't think like her or I'd be thin, too. I'm way too emotional. I feed my anxiety and stress which is not a good choice. Hopefully one day I can be more mindful.
