Definitely went over on calories yesterday. Some days I just eat for comfort. It's ok to occasionally have one of these days. It just has to be an exception, and not the normal way of eating.

I will be doing daily weigh-ins this month.

Notes: I’m worried that with no workouts my muscle mass is going down hence the loss. I can’t wait to get track to the gym.

My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I am from the Midwest USA. 5’ 5
I will be keeping the Thursday weigh-in (in addition to the 1st and last day of the month for the full tally)
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Original Starting Weight (2016) 253.0
Sept start Weight: 186.8 (Weight on August 31, 2021)
Sept Goal Weight: 181.8 (5 lb loss)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know 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


STARTING WEIGHT August 31 : 186.8…..(trend weight 188.3)

Sept 02:…..185.2…..(trend weight 187.5) This is my stats for Sept 2nd. I don’t trust the weight on the first. It was too low and unrealistic. While I would love to claim it, I know it was a fluke or a weird fluctuation. I didn’t lose 6.4 pounds in two days!

Sept 09:…..188.8…..(trend weight 187.9) I have been totally posting on the wrong dates. This whole month is wacko for me! Anyway, here I am after a tremendous weight gain over the past week. Cancer scares, medical testing and travel, well keepings stopping leaving me with no water, a very bad and unexpected death in my extended family. What else can go wrong? And does eating cookies really help any of that? Well, I think we all know the answer to that! More travel today for two CT scans and I already know that will push the scale up even more. I will begin to turn around this ship on Friday. That is the only for sure thing in my life right now!

Sept 16:…..185.2…..(trend weight 187.8) A good day yesterday. More windows cleaned and I’m almost done with that calorie burning project. Travel today. I don’t think I can make goal this month, but I am working hard to come up with a good number, whatever my best can be under the circumstqnces.


Sept 23:…..187.6….. Well, Drats! After travel weight biting me in the behind and there’s more travel today. I’ve got to read those menus more carefully when on the road. Perhaps more stops with small walks.

Sept 30:…..186.4…..Okay. That’s better. Only down 0.4 but I’ll take any progress, especially after what I’ve been through in September! October will be even rougher (medical issues) but I’ll get through them, and hopefully without a gain. See you there!

Total Weight Loss for Sept: 0.4 lbs


Final Challenge Thoughts: This has been a rough month with plenty of travel due to some breast cancer scares and remission issues. Surgery is scheduled in October. However, ending the month with no gain is a plus. There was plenty of travel and stress eating, for sure!

Hey everyone. I think after this week is done I’m going to head into a new tread. I’ll join if Samantha makes a new one but I won’t post in this one for October. I found a couple that are similar so will be posting in those.
