Total loss for August: Ugh. I'm now up 1.5 pounds in nine days. Not a good way to success. Even worse; I've erased almost all my loss for the whole YEAR - I'm down only 0.3 pounds for the year. Damn.

Keep sticking to it.

@mtaratoot If anyone can turn it back around it's YOU! You got this my friend. Keep Going!

Thanks @deepwoodslady. We are all works in progress. Mine just has been progressing the wrong way lately. The good news is that I'm technically still at a "healthy" weight. I'd still technically be in the healthy BMI range if I gained another pound and change. I'd also still technically be at a healthy weight if I lost 40 pounds, but I would be way too tiny in my estimation. My sweet spot is about 15 pounds less than I am currently. I maintained that weight for three years before slowly slipping back up. I've been up and down since then. I just need to stay focused if it really matters.

Yes, I am back. I haven't given up. Looking forward not backwards.

July 26: 198.5 lbs
August 2: 195 lbs I have been hovering at this weight for a couple of months.
August 9: 199 lbs 😲 overnight 4 lbs. Keep cool look at your 7 day trend weight of 195.7lbs.

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 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018. I weigh weekly but also on the 1st and last day of each month for a full month’s account.

Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx

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

08/03 – 187.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 187.8) I’ve been battling extra hunger daily since my travel day/weight gain. My body just wants to hold on or get back to what it was at it’s highest level. Caveman level self-preservation at work I guess. Yesterday was filled with very bad choices. I had company including extra grandchildren and it was nice to have a movie night and other fun activities but I behaved (around food) like one of the children! My portions were good even if the choices were bad. So does that even count? I grade myself a solid D+. Weight is still down some today so all progress was not lost. Today is another big day with all the folks still here. I’ll do better than yesterday!

⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️08/10 – 183.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 186.0) It’s been a pretty good week for me with the exception of one day that set me back for a minute (or two). I’ve pulled it back and am seeing the fruits of my labor. I’m aiming to stay on course and have another good week. I just have to keep asking myself, “how bad do you want and need this Donna?”

08/17 – xxxxx (Trend Weight – xxxxx)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

WOO HOO! That feels good!

I didn’t expect week 1 to go this well. Thursday I ended up throwing up my dinner, but not sure why. And, Saturday was house cleaning day. I burned almost 3000 calories, but I allowed that to be a deficit and ate my calorie goal which pu me in the negative.

I’ve already met my initial August goal, but I’m not going to change it to a lower number. I’m just going to keep going. If I lose more, good. If I don’t lose anymore in August and maintain this weight, that’s ok too. Just going to try not to gain the rest of August.

Did a really strenuous workout on Saturday, and I've been systemically inflamed and puffy since. This will go down in the next day or two.

Keep up the great work, everyone! I had a small overeating episode last evening—I basically wanted to hoover the fridge and I'm not sure why…maybe I didn't eat enough calories during the day. Anyway, today is another day and here's Wonder Woman to help you fight off those urges! *k-pow!* You can do it!
