I'm kinda annoyed because I am weighing in tomorrow and I wanted to be losing something. But I guess I just have to take care of my stress levels right now.
Sorry to hear. Hope everything is okay. Take care of yourself. ❤️

@Toronto6fan Onederland Yessssss. 3 days of social occasions this week (which always include food) but I am hanging onto the Onederland keys, even if it's a bumpy ride this week. Thanks for the shout-out. It's been a very long time since I've been in the 100's. I'm not letting it go......4 -

Weigh-in from this morning …
Start (Dec14 2020)165 lbs
Last weigh-in 143.0 lbs
Present 139.8 lbs
Goal 140 lbs
Total loss 25.2 lbs
I’ve haven’t posted in a while as I’ve been doing a lot of traveling to visit family (all my daughters live out of state, all across the country). In fact, I’m just back from a vacation with all our adult children and their families. Fortunately it was a very active vacation and I’m very pleased to return home having met my goal weight. Woohoo!!!
I am now at a “normal” weight based on BMI. My plan is to continue as I have these pass six months and see where my weight settles.
I so appreciate everyone’s support here. I believe experiencing the journey with others is a great help.8 -

My name is Donna and I am 61 in May. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.
My goal in this challenge is to lose pounds and land firmly in Onederland.
I would love to join! Here are my weights so far:

May 10: My Birthday! 208.8 I am celebrating this upcoming Sunday with family. This new higher weight is from travel and bad choices. The buck stops here!
May 17: 206.8 I’m happy with this after multiple day celebrations. I chose better than I thought or it is going to catch up with me. We shall see which.
May 24: 210.8 Wow. 4 pounds in one week! Can you tell that my daughter and DGS moved back in? This is going to be difficult!
May 31: 206.4 Better than last week. I worked hard for it. Praying for continued success.
Jun 01: 205.6 A nice way to start the month.
Jun 07: 204.2 Clearly I’ll never make the 20 pound loss but a girl can dream, right?.....Onward for any progress this old girl can get. Good health is the overall goal and continued weight loss is a huge part of that plan.
Jun 15: 201.8 This has been a good week for me. I am down quite a bit overnight due to a very low calorie day yesterday. Today I will increase them but with all thoughtfulness to my plan.
Jun 21: 199.0 Onderland by a thread. I don’t want to drop this ball. I will focus in the short-term on getting it a little further away from the 200 mark.
Jun 28: 197.6 I had to cancel trip today. I was so sick yesterday evening and all night. A little better today but not 100% Possible gall bladder or diverticulitis attack, probably from too many almonds day before yesterday. Horrid pain. This is a big overnight drop on the scale. Probably from such little eating yesterday (it hurt too bad) and from dehydration. We’ll see what the next few days bring as this is probably a little lower than my weight realistically is.

Tough weekend as I lost my sweet 16yr old kitty😔🥺Took refuge in a Dominos pizza and all 12 Fudge Brownies on Sat night.
Very very hot & humid which I hate!!
But got out for 5.7km walk yesterday morning and heading out now after being inspired by MFP friends😉11 -
I'm back! The App stopped working on my old phone (phone too old- no longer supported). So I now have a new phone and I am glad to be back with familiar faces (and all our new ones). You are all inspiring.
Since I am starting this challenge late I hope to lose 5 lbs with my usual Sunday weigh ins. I have a lot of catching up and I gained weight when I didn't have access to MyFitnessPal.
Wish me luck!

Didn't meet my goal this month but was only .8 away so I'll still take that as a win! Seemed to plateau for awhile mid month. Total loss of 4.4lbs this month and just shy of a 25lbs loss since I started in March. No complaints! On to our final challenge month!10 -

Jun 30: 196.4 Back in the saddle and doing good. Feeling much better. Wow, the tummy pain was horrendous! I have no idea what was wrong, but I won’t be eating handfuls of nuts again as a snack! Weight has been going great. I probably lost the extra pound due to the 24 hour illness I had so we’ll see how it keeps panning out. In the meantime, I continue with good clean eating habits and try to stay away from sugery snacks! I am down 11.2 pounds since the start of this challenge. Pleased as punch!
