Hi everyone, I live and work (full) time in Metro Boston, MA. I am a single female, hopefully turning 67 on August 18th this year.

My height is 5'3" and my weight is about 160 lbs. (My weigh-in day is currently Wednesdays.) I live with my ~4-year old female cat in a two-bedroom apartment. I have one son, age 41 who's been married for 5 years and lives in Cambridge, MA. (No grandkids.)

My highest ever weight was 217 on February 29th. 2008. I got down to ~139 (for like, a day!) and I've been "riding the seesaw" ever since, at one point going all the way back up to 188 lbs. I have started and restarted over and over (and over), but I need to make this STICK and make a permanent, lifestyle change!

I'd like to get down to the 140's by my birthday and below 140 by New Year's Eve, with a BMI below 25.

I'm so happy I found this group and I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

Have a great weekend!

Carole🦋

    Hi again,

    So, my next weigh-in day is Wednesday, June 25th, the day before my annual physical. I pledged to my doctor at my last visit on March 17th that I would lose at least 10 pounds by 6/26. Well, that's not happening, but maybe I'll get back down to 159, which was my weight at my March 17th visit.

    I'll post my stats and key measurements this Wednesday - just like starting over with a fresh reset. It will be interesting to see how my weight at home compares with my doctor's scale.

    Have a nice evening and a peaceful Sunday.

    💗Carole

    Hi everyone,

    I am now changing my next weigh-in day to Wednesday, July 2nd. The doctor's scale shows slightly less than my home scale, even with my clothes on; however, I will go by my home scale readings. As above, I will include scale app stats and key measurements and will treat it as a fresh, "Day ONE".

    Hi, I'm not sure whether this group will be active. I will check tomorrow for any new posts by the owner. If I don't see anything then I will probably clear this bookmark and stick with my other challenges as well as the July UAC group.

    Have a nice evening,
    ❤️Carole

    me too. I’m also in the UAC challenge. There are so many inactive groups out here. Makes it hard to connect.

    I know. I also have made some "false starts" in the past and have fallen off the path. I never give up though. I will focus more on just two or three. groups/challenges so I won't get overwhelmed with trying to keep up with too many.

    Have a great 4th of July weekend!

    🩷Carole
