    Yup @mari_moulin
    Back on to that horse for you! Can't have all of that hard work undone.
    Posting daily and tracking is key.
    Hope that you are nicely settled into your new place now.

    Back to my Sept starting weight. While I haven't seen a real change in weight, I have lost 5 inches since I started my workout challenge 10 days ago.

    I love working out for so many reasons, loosen up the old joints, erase thoughts from my mind as I concentrate on the movements, and yes...a more trim body!

    Which workout are you doing?

    Super crabby this morning. Last Friday I was SO close to the next decade (170.POINT TWO!) I'm waiting to get back to! I did everything right...I tracked, I exercised, I drank my water, I did, I did, I did. Weigh in today...
    170 POINT ZERO! You've got to be kidding me! I am so over this menopause crap!

    Yes, I really wasn't able to start losing any weight until my menopause was over several years ago and the hormones normalized.
    I was at 160.1 in January this year after all of the Christmas eating (I was 158 in December).
    I vowed to get out of the 160s and never look back.
    Here I am today really striving to get out of the 140s, even if it takes a couple of more months.
    You are completely right, it is hard work indeed, and takes some attention and commitment.

    You are so close to getting out of that decade! I am not sure what your goal weight is. So nice to see you posting daily again : - )

    MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
    June goal was 146.7 - Actual end weight 148.1
    July goal was 143.4 (realistically I would be happy with 147.1 since I normally only lose one pound per month)
    August goal was 142.9
    September goal 141.9
    Ultimate goal: 112-115 - Age 59, height 5'2"

    Wednesday July 01 - 148.4 - Up just a titch from June EW, but really pleased to be starting the month in the 140s for the first time.
    Friday July 31 - 145.0 - The long weekend has started here, going to try my best to not derail.
    July - Lost 3.4 pounds

    Monday August 31 - 145.2
    August Kind of a bust of a month, gained 0.2 from last month.

    It would be great if we had a new month to post in for September. If not we can still keep posting here on the July thread.

    Okay, parking here on the July thread again.

    Tuesday September 01 - 144.9 - Staying the course and trying to be patient
    Wednesday September 02 - 143.8 - 18 days until my 60th birthday - my goal was to be 130 which obviously won't be happening. MFP has been saying "137 in 5 weeks" since January of this year. Yesterday it said "133 in 5 weeks". 2 pounds in 18 days might be realistic, I am a very slow weight loser. Yes, I do plan to be indulgent over my birthday getaway, but not out of control indulgent after all of this hard work.
    Thursday September 03 - 143.7
    Friday September 04 - 142.3 - Wow, super happy to see this number after all of my diligence.
    Saturday September 05 - 143.1
    Sunday September 06 - 142.5 - 1.5 pounds away now from a 50 pound weight loss. It could take awhile, but I am definitely going to work at it.
    Monday September 07 - 143.1 - Hit those 142s twice, so hoping to return there tomorrow.
    Tuesday September 08 - 143.2 - On track, and sticking with it.
    Wednesday September 09 - 143.6 - Went off track a tiny bit last night, dusting off and will work out extra today.
    Thursday September 10 - 143.9 - Maybe I will see a drop tomorrow. Hope so.
    Friday September 11 - 142.0 - Yahoo for the scale reading, but a terrible day historically. I was probably around 165 pounds back then before I started packing on the menopause pounds. I couldn't carry 165 these days as my body weight shifted around with age.
    Saturday September 12 - 142.0 - I usually get more workouts/activity over the weekends, hoping to be able to sustain this number.

    Which workout are you doing?

    I am doing Nita Strauss Body Shred Challenge. She is the lead guitarist for Alice Cooper, a fitness buff, and all around awesome. She does these challenges a few times a year. It comes with a workout plan, some recipes, and nutrition info. There is a pretty cool community on Facebook which is really supportive.
    I have been enjoying it and it is making me be active everyday when I want to be lazy. :)

    I just saw a photo of her, shredded indeed!!! How long of a workout is it? How much does it cost?
    Yep, having something that you look forward to doing is the key.
    Looking forward to hearing about your results doing this workout : - )

    Total loss for August + 1.5 LBS

    This has been the worst weekend ever. We got some very bad news from my I laws Saturday evening.

    My husbands brother and our twin nieces died in a plane crash Saturday afternoon. They were on a small tourist plane. The girls had won a plane ride in their club and it alL went horribly wrong. There is an investigation going on. My in-laws are devastated and my husband and I are in shock. My boys are being strong but it’s been hard on them as well. Please keep us in your thoughts.

    @mari_moulin I am so sorry to read your post today! Such sad news. My friend too just lost an aunt and uncle in a small plane crash in Iowa. To lose so many family members at one time is just too much to comprehend. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

    @dawnbgethealthy

    She does this challenge a few times a year and you sign up for 12 weeks. I think her next one will be in January. You can do a $20 plan that is just the ebook and workouts, $35 plan that is ebook, workouts, and a shirt, or $100 that is ebook, workout, shirt, and nutritionist information. I did the $35 so I don't know what all is included in the nutritionist plan.

    The strength workouts are about 30 minutes a day and she recommends getting cardio in as well.

    I hope this helped!

    This has been the worst weekend ever. We got some very bad news from my I laws Saturday evening.

    My husbands brother and our twin nieces died in a plane crash Saturday afternoon. They were on a small tourist plane. The girls had won a plane ride in their club and it alL went horribly wrong. There is an investigation going on. My in-laws are devastated and my husband and I are in shock. My boys are being strong but it’s been hard on them as well. Please keep us in your thoughts.
