@RubyRed427 i thought of you several times this week when I went off the rails & then again when I came back . It was a good thing to think I don’t want to be a disappointment to Ruby ‘ the group . Thanks fir being there virtually for me !
That is sooo nice! I went off the rails, too.... potato chips for dinner. Anyways, let's get back on track this week. I promise to eat more veggies and less carbs.5 -

Been doing well with my exercise(walking @ least 5 miles, 3 days/week, on non-work days), water intake and calorie/carb restrictions. As long as I see progress, I'm bullheaded enough to stick with about anything!6

Starting weight in August -133. Sound low but I am 4’9”and age 70. I have a goal to lose 15 lbs to get to pre covid weight, then go from there. Encouragement welcome as I am just starting this site.9

My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. 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.
I would love to join! Here are my weights so far:
Start Weight: 192.4 (Weight on July 31st)
Goal Weight: 177.4
End Weight: xxxxx
Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Aug 01: 191.4…..(trend weight 194.6) A nice way to start but it may not stick. Very little food yesterday due to an emergency with my well. No water again today. This is horrid!
Aug 03: 190.4…..(trend weight 193.7) A little topsy-turvy and moving all around. I am hopeful that August will be a good month. July was good to me.
Aug 10: 189.6 (trend weight 192.0) Progress. I hope the long travel day which will include at least one restaurant will not derail me too much.

May 28th 2021 Weight 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)
Challenge starting weight- 220.4lbs
Challenge end goal- 205lbs
Sunday is my weigh in day
08/01- 220.4lbs
08/08- 216.2lbs -4.2lbs Surprising amount of weight loss this week, I didn’t exercise a few days this week due to fun time and am thinking was probably backed up a bit last week
08/15- 226.6 +.4, total -3.8. Had a 2lb gain in middle of week, not sure why exactly beside random body fluctuation, only had one day was over calorie goal, by about 300. I was tired and had a lack of motivation this week, did exercise 4 days so that’s something.

You have a significant amount of weight to lose ultimately (although not as much as I did!), but it looks like you've chosen a reasonable weekly loss goal. For me it's been a year-long long hard grind, and I'm not there yet. But you can do it. Just keep that ultimate goal in mind when you're tempted to indulge yourself. And don't lose that bullheadedness when you don't see progress, because that can be a temporary plateau. Good luck. We're all rooting for you!Been doing well with my exercise(walking @ least 5 miles, 3 days/week, on non-work days), water intake and calorie/carb restrictions.

Congratulations on your weight loss!
I did it once before and swore then I'd never be that heavy again! But it did happen. So I know I can do it! The other time it took me 12-13 months to lose that 133 lbs. I had something else going on that time(a stressful situation) that made it quicker than it will be this time but I need to stick to it! And thank you for the encouragement!6 -
@swimmom_1, I can so relate: In 2015, I went from 320 to 270, then had a medical issue. I gained all that back, and then some, until I hit 330 last July (2020). Like you, I knew I could do it again. It was a real milestone for me when I dropped below 270. Now, I'm around 237... and my goal is 220. We can do it!

Congratulations! You are so close now!5

A little late to the party but joining the fun.
Heaviest ever - 195
August 19 start weight - no access to a scale today. Will post tomorrow. Also, hate weighing after a weekend
October 31st goal weight - 180 but would be really happy with 178.6 -
When we arrived Friday to visit my Aunt in North Carolina, after not seeing her for more than a year (Covid restrictions of course) the first thing she said to me and my husband was, "Well I was feeling self conscious about getting fat over the past year but I see I am not the only one." The woman is blunt but I am used to it. BUT it made me realize, no there is nothing wrong with my mirror or scale. Sigh. Anyway, we ate plenty of yummy southern food but the diet resumes today. My scale is awaiting me back home
I cannot imagine what it will reveal to me. I did drag myself to the hotel gym yesterday and walked 20 minutes on the treadmill so there's that. Back on track today! 11 -
8/7 - 154 lbs
8/16- 151 lbs.
I realize the pace will slow… first week is a boon but it feels gratifying anyway. 😀 Paying attention to food and exercise is helping. I am asking myself how to maintain good habits this week and then the big test will be the week of 8/23 when I return to work full time after being home all summer. With a change in childcare and schedule, I’ve got to make a plan for a healthy balance! Anyway, thanks for the group. Love to see people’s progress and honest comments …really motivating!6 -

Wow Jen- that must have hurt a little. I can't believe she said that. Sending you a big hug.6
