This group sounds great! I'd like to join. Just logged back into MFP after a year and now wanting to lose 10 lbs.

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 weigh weekly but also on the 1st and last day of each month for a full month’s account.

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM July 31st): 189.0

CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 9.2 lbs to land at 179.8

CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: 184.0

TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE: 5.0 lbs

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜ULTIMATE GOAL: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)

I AM TRYING SOMETHING LATELY. MY GOAL FOR THE CHALLENGE WILL BE 0.1 lbs PER DAY. THAT WILL USUALLY COME TO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 9 AND 10 LBS TOTAL LOST MOST CHALLENGES. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT BUT I DON’T FEEL IT IS TOO MUCH TO ASK, EVEN GIVEN MY AGE, MY MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT SET ME BACK AND MY MEDICATIONS. IF I GET BEHIND ON ANY GIVEN DAY, WEEK OR MONTH, I’VE ONLY MADE IT HARDER ON MYSELF AS I HAVE TO THEN CATCH UP. THE SPECIFIC GOALS NUMBERS MAY CHANGE AS I GO ALONG ONLY TO KEEP IN LINE WITH MY GRAND TOTAL LOSS GOAL. IN THE END IT SHOULD BE EQUAL TO 0.1 LB PER DAY OR MORE. I KNOW IT’S A MIND GAME I’M PLAYING WITH MYSELF, BUT IT ALSO FEELS LIKE I’M NOT BITING OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW. LET’S SEE HOW THIS GOES!

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

CURRENT MONTH:

10/01 – 183.0 ↔️ (Trend Weight – 183.9)

10/07 – 184.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.7)

10/14 -- 181.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 183.7)

10/21–10/21—185.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 183.8)

10/28 – 183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.1) It’s been a rough week again but this number is a bit better. I guess I pulled it off at the very end and just in time for today’s weigh-in. But I’m not gonna lie….. I’m very weak right now. Hanging in there by a thread. I need more motivation! Some household and paperwork projects are zapping all my energy and the fall yard work is taking everything I have in me. No planning time and too tired for structured exercise. I’ve got to try harder! Just 3 more days until my final weigh-in. I know it's too late to make complete goal but I am proud of the progress I've made since day one. I just don't need to get complacent!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 10/31 – 184.0 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.2) Once I got off the rails, I had a hard time finding my way back. I gained one pound this month instead of losing. I’m disappointed in myself as I have no valid excuses. But although I sometimes give IN, I never give UP so I’ll move into the November, December, January challenge with head held high and hope in my heart. Nice job to everyone for showing up and doing your best. Your best is always good enough!
