Let's lose 20-30 lbs. by New Year's Eve, 2025!

Walela617

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday!

True confessions, here's the truth about Wednesday's weigh-in:

I think I finally got rid of this temporary regain due to a late meal (including alcohol) on Tuesday evening, but we'll find out this Wednesday.

Boston is back in a heat wave, but I think this round will be less humid; so it probably won't be that bad.

My plantar fasciitis is almost gone - yay! I got these insoles from Amazon called "Walk Hero" that seem to have helped.

Enjoythe rest of your weekend!

My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” 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. I’m being optimistic at this point as we are just starting.

🎈🎉🎈🎉LET'S LOOK & FEEL GREAT BY NEW YEARS EVE 🎈🎉🎈🎉

CURRENT MONTH:

08/01 – 187.6 ✅ (Trend Weight – 188.0)

08/06 – 184.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 187.1) A nice whoosh overnight for me, perfect timing right before our weekly weigh-in. I’m hoping to see my scale weights and my trend weights continue going down. I’m working pretty hard for this right now. Is anyone else still posting here or is it just me?

⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/13 – 183.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 185.0) I actually went down to 181.8 then back up again after getting sick this week which I think was dehydration. So this is probably a natural course correction yet still down from last week. I do like the way my trend weight is coming down too. I just have to make sure I eat enough in this extreme heat and stay hydrated. I have 3 more weigh-in’s to complete August and I am down 5.8 lbs of my hefty (catch-up) 6 lb goal. I just need to keep hanging in there because it can reverse course and shoot straight up to the moon in an instant! Have a great week!
