🍃🍂September Daily Log & Weigh in Challenge 🍂🍃

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
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
Starting Weight (from August 23, 2021): 187.4
Goal: xxxxx (Six lb Loss): 181.4
08/24 – …..187.4…..(Trend Weight: 188.6) Thanks to Jill for offering this challenge! I am hoping to lose about 5 pounds per month but I added an extra pound (total 6) because I am starting in August. I, too, lose more weight when I log my food and exercise so I am hoping that doing so daily will keep me accountable. Good luck to all!
08/25 – …..187.0…..(Trend Weight: 188.5) Down a bit today. I know yesterday could have been filled with better choices and no last minute snacks. I will be traveling today so I will be eating dinner out which usually causes an uptick. I will push water and make up for any overages in the coming days. I am 100% committed to enjoying life, but getting healthy too!
08/26 – …..188.4…..(Trend Weight: 188.5) Thank Goodness for trends because the scale really jumped after the travel yesterday. I feel very sluggish today-no energy. A result of my bad eating and my sugar ingestion yesterday. As a T2D, I knew this was bound to happen and I didn’t listen to my own reasoning. Today I pay the price. Pushing water, walking and all healthy low cal and lower carb choices today. Part of my new lifestyle is to treat my body well after I’ve screwed up. Today is “be good to Donna day”. I will be eating right.
08/27 – DNW. Forgot to step on the scale before I started drinking cups of coffee. Early travel today to take a friend for a medical procedure. I’ll be eating at the hospital cafeteria. Hopefully something on the healthy side…..
08/28 – …..188.4…..(Trend Weight: 188.4) Scale weight the same but trend weight down slightly. I didn’t do to bad considering the huge amount of sitting during the travel and the food away from home. Today I hope to be back on track with my carefully planned meals at home. Thunderstorms are raging and expected rain all day. Renovation workers will be here all day and evening so there is a serious lack of inside privacy. My house has stairs so I will focus on go up and down all day just for steps and exercise.

08/29 - 224.6 Yesterday I had a few ice cold Corona's, which went down a treat after I finally tackled trimming the overgrown hedges and mowing the side lawn. Arms are aching today.
I've been watching the Paralympics this weekend, which is inspiring me to keep on track. Today I am visiting family. Dinner will be pork roast with all the trimmings. I'm on Yorkshire pudding duty 👍🏻2 -
OK my week was a binge of eating out. So my weight went the opposite direction.
I was at 185 lbs but now as of
August 29th 187 lbs
But I did force myself to step on the scale to see the damage.1 -

I easily closed all my circles on fitbit and was in the green on MFP. Hopefully I will see a change show up tomorrow. Sometimes it takes a couple of day either way.

08/30 - 222.8 Not sure how accurate this weigh in is. Seems a big jump. Yesterday was a lazy day, with sport and a few beers. Logged well and stayed within goal. Today I'm off for a walk in Weardale. It might be 5 miles, it might be 8 depending on how I feel. Have a great day everyone.2 -

Welcome Cpsld!
This is the place to get going on your dream.
I keep saying it’s time to lose the baby weight…and it’s been 16 1/2 years since my daughter was born!

Congrats on the loss! As you know, sometimes weight loss doesn’t make sense, so enjoy the ride.

I’m with you!
I’ve used this week to start getting myself back into a good routine. I’m ready for September to start as well!

Good Morning friends,
We’ve got 2 days until the official start of our September challenge, and I’m ready for it. This past weeks jump start… for those of us starting early… has given me insight into my eating habits.
With packing and moving my son back into college this past week. I’ve realized that I’m an emotional cleaner and eater. I both stress clean and stress eat chips…but I think by logging, I was better able to let the stress eating not get totally out of control. The positive result is that my house and cars are clean! Mind you, I’ve been over my allotted calorie goals all week, but I didn’t jump off the deep end. This is contained chaos. 😂
Yesterday I did log everything and weigh-in.
I’m down a little from yesterday, so I see this as a win!
Have a great Monday!

Staying on track today and keeping some of my calories in the balance today in case it happens again tonight. Preparation is key!
