September 2021 - Daily or Weekly Check-In

06/19 starting weight 157 lbs
08/01 153.5 lbs
09/01 goal weight 142 (if I follow my diet and workout plan but don’t reach my weight loss goal this month, I am ok with that)
Ultimate goal weight 130-135 lbs

09/01 149.25 lbs
09/02 148.25 lbs
09/03 148.5 lbs

Hi all
I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
I gained a bit of weight in June and July, even more in August, which I started at 132.9. My goal is to get that off and beyond.
Before that I averaged a 1 pound weight loss each month throughout this journey.
MFP start weight October 2018: 191
UGW 112-ish

Wednesday 9/1 - 134.0 - Looking forward to lots of Autumn walks in nature
9/2 - 133.9

September staring waist: 34.5"
September goal weight: 133.5
September goal waist: 33.5"
Ultimate goal: 128 lbs, 32" waist

I take my waist measurement at the widest place around the love handles/below the belly button. I also do periodic skinfold tests to check my % fat loss, since that's really my goal rather than just scale weight since that doesn't tell the whole story.

9/01 - 137.5, 34.5" waist, 3 mile run, good eating day
9/02 - 137.8, 35.25" waist - might be bloated? just going to stick with the plan, 3 mile run, evening snacks

9/01 - 135.2 / 134.8 trend - up one pound from yesterday. A lot of mindless stress eating last night.
9/02 - 135.2 / 134.8 trend - Pizza last night so sodium was up. Hopefully see a change tomorrow
9/03 - ???? / 134.8 trend - Overslept and didn't step on the scales before I started rushing around.
9/04 - 132.2 / 134.1 trend - Stepped on the scale about a dozen times. Got this number every time but one. Not sure how it happened. Ate ok yesterday, low steps, no work out. I donated blood. Can't imagine that would cause a 2 pound drop. I like the number though!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 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!

Starting Weight (from August 31): 186.8
Goal Weight: 181.8 (Five lb Loss)
Actual End of Challenge Weight on Sept 30, 2021:


09/01 – 182.8 (Trend Weight: 187.8)…..I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and ½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

09/02 - 185.2 (Trend Weight: 187.5)…..This weight is probably more accurate, even after travel. I was very suspicious of the scale reading yesterday. It may have been real because my scale is very reliable, but was likely a temporary lower fluctuation or fluke. Traveling again today with a friend for her medical appointment. It is a longer trip and I will likely be home late. Hopefully before dark though (deer at night). I will be counting my Sunday weight as my true weight. That puts all travel behind me and allows for a day or two to shed water retention from travels. Plenty of more travel next week and the week after due to all the cancer checks and scans that became necessary after my yearly mamm exam. I also fit many appointments in the fall to avoid too much winter driving since all the specialists and hospitals I see are so far from my rural home. That leaves both spring and fall full of travel but better than icy roads and snow for those distances!
09/03 - 187.5 (Trend Weight: 187.7)…..Yikes. This travel really hurt! Back home and on track today. New cement being poured for new steps from the top of my hill at my house down to the road (my mailbox). Exciting day. I’ll stay on track and reverse this temporary damage. Staying positive here!
09/04 - 187.5 (Trend Weight: 187.8)….. Yesterday I found out that my ex-sister-in-law that I’ve known for 46 years died of Covid in South Carolina. She was fully vaccinated and had just turned 64. She was immuno-compromised. Her daughter found her unresponsive in her home (she lived alone). She was alive, but was later determined to be brain dead. She was lucky enough to get a ventilator for a short time since they are scarce, but she was taken off all life support measures when it was determined she would never wake up and never go home. Please, even if vaccinated, mask up in those highly public places. More people love you and don’t want to lose you than you even realize. I spent all evening and night eating my emotions and moving into the 2nd phase of grief = anger. I am surprised the scale didn’t go up. Today I will try hard to be more mindful. The food binges change nothing.

Hello again, everyone!!
My name is Ana. Some months after my husband passed away I was at my highest weight (180 lbs). I was 175 lbs when I started with MFP 5+ years ago. Using MFP I was able to get back to a healthy weight through diet and exercise and I kept the weight off for years.
Unfortunately, Corona times were tough on me (in many ways) and on June 16th on a visit to the doctor I learned that I was up to 156 lb so I am back to this community to encourage myself to reach 121 lb by July of 2022.

Wish me luck!!

Highest Weight: 180 lbs
MFP Start: 175 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156 lbs
June Starr/End: 156 / 151.8 (- 4.2)
July Start/End: 151.8 / 148.4 (- 3.4)
August Start/End: 150.2 / 146.4 (- 3.8)
September goal: 142.4 lbs
Ultimate goal: Weigh 121 lbs or less by 06/2022

09/05: 145.8 (- .6) I haven't been the best with food or exercise. A lot of emotional things, medical scares and chores going on have left me feeling exhausted to do as much exercise as I've been in the past 3 months. My body wants to go back to eating as means of comfort and I'm not letting it... For the most part...
So, yeah, without eating as a "coping tool" I'm feeling a little depressed and sometimes I don't know if it's real hunger or just psychological... I am working on healthier coping tools, like crafting, thinking about others and I started therapy. I'm also supposed to be on vacation y'all! What's wrong with me! 😂 😂
Honestly, I think my body is tired of dieting and exercising almost every day for the past 3 months and wants to go back to what it knows. I don't know if I should push through or give myself a break... I don't want to regain weight but I do need to regain my motivation!

After re-reading myself, I have to be realistic and look at the numbers. They keep going down, even if little by little, so that's good.
... I just wish there was a way to achieve my goal in a month, healthily, and go back to my regular eating when I was at a healthy weight.
Anyway... Thinking I'll give myself a diet break today. What do you think?

Drawing strength from you guys!!

09/05 - …..188.2 (Trend Weight: 187.8)….. I was slightly in the green until about 1:00 AM. I then ate 400 calories more which put me over. Part emotional eating and part hunger. My mind is so cluttered with the death of my sister-in-law, my own health problems and my extensive renovations (that are taking way too long) that I just am not planning as well as I should be. I could have walked more yesterday as I had some extra time and freedom to leave the house but I didn’t. My day was filled with phone calls and texts in regards to the death. I could have walked along the yard while I talked but I didn’t. I felt like I had been wrung out like a wet rag. BBQ today for Labor Day with family. I can’t make any promises…..
