For me, it is to get under 200 lbs. Another is to do 150 minutes of exercise a week. I am pre-diabetic, so I need to get in gear.7

After a routine blood test at the start of August 20, I was found to be healthy but pre-diabetes and scoring 66 when a diabetes diagnosis is 67. This has kicked me into action and 3 months later I am about to book another blood test but will be going into it 29lb’s lighter.
I’m 6ft 2 and my height helped mask that I had ballooned to 19st by skipping meals, snacking, eating at the wrong times, eating junk food. My fitness pal has put some structure back and made me think about how I eat. Gone are the four bags of crisps a day and eating two meals from snack vending machines. I feel and look so much better.
It does concern me though that the NHS website says my target weight is 13.5stone - I can’t imagine being that thin.
Good for you! 29lbs is already more than 2 stone down and that's really impressive, and very nearly into overweight category on bmi for your height. You might want to set yourself some mini-goals along the way to 13 stone 7 lbs and normal bmi?

tried to encourage the wife to eat healthy (she's on bed rest due to foot surgery) and she told me: YOU DO YOU11

My current mini-goal is 184. It's 4.6 pounds away and would be 50 pounds down. Once I get there, I'll likely take a maintenance break until after the holidays.6

I’m going the rest of November keeping my calories right and not missing a workout (barring Thanksgiving, of course). If I can do that I’m going to have a special one-time treat from a local edible cookie dough place I wanted to try

I made tofu stir fry last night and I was amazed by how good it tasted. I looked in the freezer and it's all frozen fruit and veggies. My scale rewarded me this morning! I have taken off all the weight I put on since Covid19 retired me from the workforce, probably permanently, I'm a senior citizen. Only 34 more pounds to go, that really feels doable. Climate change heat waves seem to have finally gone away, so walking for miles in a safer outdoors area will be possible again. So, for the calorie-laden Thanksgiving week I've made plans to camp solo in the desert.
Inertia has loosened its grip!11 -
With two more pounds of loss, this will be my most successful weight loss at 27 pounds.
My previous record was 26 pounds lost on Slimfast, which was unsustainable so I gained it all back and then some.
I also did Whole 30, lost 11 pounds, but was unsustainable so I gained it all back and then some.
Did keto, lost 15 pounds, rinse and repeat.
Did Atkins, lost 10 pounds, rinse and repeat.
This time I'm skipping the fad diets and going with what is sustainable for me, just regular old calorie counting. This time I'm getting to 27 pounds and beyond - and taking off what years of yo-yo diets packed on. This time I'm getting healthy for life, not just a month or three!18 -

Finally, finally the number on the scale starts with a 95! (95.6 this morning). Next up is a number starting 92
I say finally cause it feels like an age but it’s only 8 weeks or so which is just over a lb a week or .7 of a kg

Break into the next decade. I’ve been 1-0.4 for 2 weeks .3

Actually two things...
1) Getting back into control of my weight, after being in the hospital this last May
2) Target weight of 210, so I can not weigh so much when piloting a small plane.8 -
To fit into an airplane seat.13
-
To fit into the next size down by the end of this November.10

Congratulations! I have the 200 LB goal currently.7 -
Now that I have a bike at home, goal is to ride 15 minutes at a time. At the moment I have to break it up into smaller increments.10

to not gain any weight over the holidays, that would be a first!

My mini-goal is to reach next zero on scale 7.2# from this morning. Also a mini-goal of an extended fast soon.9

A little story; a little plan; a little kick in the butt.
The Story:
So over the last few months I've finally managed to get to weight that I haven't seen since 1998 at least and was on the consistency train. I got to within .8(!) of weighing less than my husband for the first time ever.
Ten days ago one college freshman fessed up to the fact that he's flunking his first semester.
Five days ago the other college freshman at a different school let us know that 3 of his 8 suitemates have COVID and the rest including him are awaiting results. Three days ago my husband and I came down with symptoms and got tested and are awaiting results.
I fell off the consistency train. I'm pretty sure I went from any sort of forward locomotion to carb fueled horse and buggy.
The Plan:
I will not let this happen, been there. I am up about a kilo, likely mostly salt. Back to taking care of me today. Healthy food, reacquaint myself with some water, get my kitten on the treadmill for the stress relief.
The kick:
I've spent decades making a bit of progress and losing the same 10 pounds. I've finally lost a substantial amount, feel fantastic and am so much healthier! No letting mental stress invade the good!
Mini goal: Get back to where I was by Tuesday and work on handling stress better

The ocean swells and ebbs all the time, unless you're in a tiny boat in the midst of a storm, you wouldn't even feel it. Don't let the ups get you! Sounds like you've got a plan! Take care of yourself and I hope you and your family continue to stay healthy!6
