Can't even bear to list my weight. In the 90's is all I'll say. But going to track through Jan 20 and that is all I can commit to at this time. Sigh.0

Going to use this as my official starting weight for the Raging Lame Duck Challenge Nov 20-20 to Jan 20-21.0 -
I'm back. A tough time it has been with 4 years of the Orange One plus the Pandemic. I guess it's time to focus on my health rather than obsessing about the health of the world. Shifting the focus to my little world and things I have a bit of control of. Like moving my body and what I put in my mouth.
I feel like I have been hovering around 195+ for 10 years at least, with brief dips. Now, approaching my 70th birthday, I'm thinking I need to get serious again. If I could get back to the 180s by my birthday I would be so very glad! So finding friends to walk a few times a week and got my DNA recommendations for food choices, food allergies, macros. I know this works when I work it.
This challenge is from Friday, May 14th through July 9th, 8 weeks.0 -

Began seriously recording again and working to walk with friends (or by myself) three times a week. Trying to get used to my new information about food sensitivity. Moderate sensitivity to egg whites, clams, and coffee. Really? Mild sensitivity to egg yokes. Since eggs and egg beaters have been my go-to diet food for years, now what? Will give myself time to get used to this.0 -
daily tracking seems to be working although I am not staying within the guidelines. Just down slightly from Friday, from 196.7 to 195.9 on Sunday morning. Only taking seriously the Friday weigh-ins for better tracking. So glad I'm back to tracking!0

Getting up to speed, well, beginning to, with the instapot. So far have just cooked rice (great) and a "rotisserie" chicken (still cooking). Paid too much for an organic chicken but Target was out. Will do my weekly weigh-in tomorrow. Have been tracking faithfully and walking much more. Need to give myself time to gradually lose.0

Seems like it should be much more lost since I have been recording and moving more but have to be patient and go step by step.0 -

Slow, slow, slow, but sure. Walking most days at least 20 minutes. Breakthrough this week of walking by myself! I knew if I could get started walking with my friends that that would get me going.0 -

This is the number that matches my last recorded check-in. Felt lighter today. Need to love and accept my body exactly the way it is right now. Love the body I have, although working towards better health.0 -

OK, realize I need additional help. I've purchased an instant pot (good choice) and have been buying related cookbooks like mad for instant pot, inflammation, lectin-free, and keto. Getting my nutrition profile from the DNA people just has made me more confused. Can I really be sensitive to eggs?? Coffee I can let go of but eggs not so much. What about grain, wheat specifically? So joined Noom. 134.00 for 5 months. Feel like I don't need their food plans or exercise plans, just need a new way to think about food. Let's give it a try. Have a seven-day free trial.0 -

It's not my weigh-in day but wanted to see that number in black and white. I've been doing better with night eating, substituting grapes or lemon juice.0 -

I'm overjoyed by today's weight. My interim goal is to be out of the 90's by my birthday, July 7th, 2021. Doing well with just moving more and keeping my calories and carbs down. Some wheat, basmati rice, avoiding potatoes, and dairy for the most part. Vegis, chicken, turkey, fish. My body still wants eggs.0 -

OK, I'll take 193.9. Still pushing towards the goal of being in the 180s by July 7th. May resort to the lawyer's cabbage soup diet, but, as of July 7th: 180s. Going for size 12. Don't need to be a Skinny Minnie.

Looking like I might make my goal of getting out of the 190s by July 7th. Must walk at least three days and keep on recording.0 -
192.00 today!0

My 70th birthday today. Went out for lunch and dinner and went 900+ calories over with some bad food choices and my annual slice of carrot cake. But tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new personal year. I did not make it out of the 190s but have made a new plan: will make it out of the 190s by the end of July! Determined. Loving the Noom psychology lesson and have learned some new tricks. Here's to a healthier new year!0

Summer to Fall 8 Week Challenge. July 9th - Sept 3rd. Actually starting, myself, on the 11th but often do my weigh for the week on Saturday or Sunday when the time is just a bit later (which makes me just a bit lighter). Hope others will join in. If not I have plenty of experience talking to myself. Happy that I am with Noom now, love learning more about the psychology of dieting. Also got a fit-bit for my B-day and really helps to know my daily steps and calories burned! Short term goal is into the 180s by end of July. Long term is 165.0 -

kind of frustrating that the weight loss isn't faster. But little by little wins the race. Still hope to get out of the 190s by the end of the month. Walking 30 minutes most days.0
