My name is Anna, Height: 5'4" Age: 40
September starting weight: 137.5
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
9/6 - 140
9/7-139.2
9/8 - 139.2, coming out of a weekend slump, but doing all the motivation things to get back on track.
9/9 - 139.2
9/10 - 137.8, 35" waist
9/11 - 137.2, on a roll!
9/12 - 137.8
9/13-138.5 - hoping just bloated
9/14 - 138.2 - definitely bloated, hoping for a decent drop once it goes away
9/15 - 138.2 - feeling good this morning, just going to keep doing the things
9/16 - 138.2 - still feeling good, just waiting for the scale to drop
9/17 - 138.2 - starting to get sick of this number, maybe tomorrow will be a breakthrough
9/20 - 140.2 - post-weekend bloating.
9/21 - 139
9/22 - 136.9 - I'll take it! Guess I finally de-bloated?
9/23 - 137 - feeling good, not bloated, need to keep on this track.
9/24 - 136.6
9/25 - 138
9/26 - 138
9/27 - 138.4
9/28 - 138.2 - I'm feeling good, so I'll just keep it up.
9/29 - 138.2 - I feel thinner, so it's possible I may have added muscle this month. Taking measurements tomorrow so I'll know for certain what is going on.6 -
WoW @TinaLeigh67 ... nice number to wake up to! Way to go2

@ashleycarole86 Thank you. I was shocked to say the least. I weighed twice. Grabbed a heavy dumbbell to recalibrate my scales. Stepped back on two more times. It was correct!
You are doing amazingly as well. You will be out of the 200's in no time at the rate you are going. Whatever you are doing works!5 -

Hi all
I am Dawn, 61, 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
9/3 - 135.3 - Self-induced, indulgence.
9/4 - 135.8
9/5 - 136.3 - Way too high. Possibly still climbing from one indulgent day.
9/6 - 135.5 - Right direction, but it never feels good to be above the start weight.
9/7 - 135.2
9/8 - 135.1
9/9 - 134.1 - Late dinners from long workdays the last couple, but burned a crapload of calories on my feet waitressing
9/10 - 133.7 -Ditto to yesterday, burned a lot, but ate dinner late.
9/11 - 134.1 - I see that I put the wrong number in yesterday, fixed it. Day off today, plan on being active.
9/12 - DNW - Up at 3am drinking water and then coffee. Didn't bother weighing.
9/13 - 137.8 - Wow, that is really high! I haven't seen this number since last November. Nobody said that this would be easy, but I am hoping that is is a temporary blip.
9/14 - 134.7
9/15 - 133.9 - 2 more workdays until my mini vacay
9/16 - 134.4 - Yes, it was a typo yesterday, fixed it. Thanks Donna
9/17 - 132.9 - Travelled right after work yesterday, hit construction for a standstill, and stopped a couple of times. I woke up too early considering how late it was once I went to bed. Not sure how long I am staying, the province that I am now in begins indoor restrictions on Monday, and that might impact public skating, which I am here to do. Skating today at noon : - )
9/18 - 131.8 - Skated yesterday in Canmore Alberta : - )
9/19 - 132.1 - I really overdid it activity-wise yesterday, hiking and then skating. Woke up at 5am still tired, but couldn't go back to sleep. Driving day today.
9/20 - 132.8 - My 61st birthday - Down 7.3 pounds since my 60th birthday, so I'll take it : - )
9/21 - 134.0 - Overall since I have been away I have burned way more than I have consumed, so once I get home later today I am ready for my body to start to show that over the next couple of days, not just the champagne and snacks from yesterday : - )
9/22 - 134.8 - Time to get off of vacay mode and get on top of this.
9/23 - 134.5 - So easy to put on, so hard to get back off.
9/24 - 134.1 - 6 more days to get this down
9/25 - 133.7
9/26 - 132.9 - Happy to see this number!
9/27 - 134.4 - Not sure why the gain, it doesn't make sense. I did eat late and will be almost all week because of my work schedule, but I was low in calories and very high in calorie burn. Hopefully it works itself out.
9/28 - 134.2 - Really expected/hoped to see this lower. Late dinners for the next 3 because I will be getting out of work late. My calorie inputs have been spot on, as has my calorie burns. Argh, I touch those 131s, but can't stick them this month.
9/29 - 134.8 - Can't help the late dinners with my new work schedule, otherwise I would be way too low on calories. It is what it is I guess.

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!
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 31): 186.8
Goal Weight: 181.8 (Five lb Loss)
Actual End of Challenge Weight on Sept 30, 2021:
09/01 –[/color=orchid…..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 changes nothing.
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…..
09/06 -…..187.2(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I had an extra low calorie day yesterday and managed to fit in some extra movement. It payed off.
09/07 -…..187.6(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I did well with the diet and stayed in the green with my calories. However, absolutely no exercise whatsoever due to heavy schedule. Exercise/movement would have made the difference!
09/08 -…..188.8 (Trend Weight 187.9)…..I caved in to my emotional eating. And now, today, I travel for my CT scans. Restaurants and lots of inactivity. I am worried what tomorrow’s scale reading may be. I may skip the weighing until day after tomorrow to give myself a chance to recoup. I just don’t need anything else on my plate right now. Well man is coming in the morning so that is good news at least.
09/09 -
09/10 –…..DNW…..CT scans under my belt. Now, to wait on those results. Truly, I am way more nervous about the long trip back down to the cancer center on the 16th for the breast cancer issues. These scans just feel like another wrench thrown in. I had to stop my diabetes meds on Wed night before the scans and will begin taking them again Sunday morning. In the meantime, I really need to watch my food choices as my glucose already runs dangerously high. I’ll have to cut back on the carbs drastically. Hungry already after yesterday’s splurges. That is how it usually works. My body liked it, now it wants a repeat. Sorry body, today is my day, not yours!
09/11 -…..189.(Trend Weight 188.3)…..CT Scan results came up good. Liver lesions are cysts that look okay. Lung nodule has grown again, however, they still feel it is not growing fast enough in comparison to all scans since 2019 to merit an invasive biopsy or to call it cancer. They will have me rescan at a later date to see if it remains stable. Whew! The big worry, of course, is the breast cancer in remission and some of the complications I am having at the surgical site. I’ll know more after the 9-16 appointment. Well company never showed up, never called and cancelled, and no sign of him today. This is frustrating! I’m going to try to take an easy day today but I do want to get in more simple movements in small increments that will add up.
09/12 -…..188.4(Trend Weight 188.3)…..I ended up skipping that relaxing easy day yesterday and opted instead to start of a huge endeavor. Taking windows apart upstairs and cleaning them out by the hose outside. Up & down stairs. Fitbit counted 144 flights of stairs! I have many to go and will try to coordinate it better today but I am happy it helped my scale today!
09/13 -…..189.0(Trend Weight 188.4)…..This weight is how it looks when you are up cooking at 1:00 AM after logging out of MFP. I burned a ton of extra calories the last two day and my body was starving and screaming for calories. More windows to clean today, I’ll have to plan better.
09/14 -…..187.6 (Trend Weight 188.3)…..The easier half of the main floor windows and frames are scrubbed, windexed and re-installed. The harder half may have to wait. Thunderstorms today and the scrubbing is being down outside by the hose and bucket of soapy water. I will have to get creative today for movement. Workers will be here – no privacy again.
09/15 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 188.0)…..Finally all this window cleaning is paying off. TMI helped too. More window work is likely today. I have several more windows to finish on the main floor, then I do the basement windows and storms. Travel tomorrow to the cancer center to find out about the breast issues. My posts may be late tomorrow night. My weight will be up on Friday but should be stable by Sunday if I keep my nose clean!
09/16 -…..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. 09/17 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.6)…..I’ll be required to have a 5 cm incision to surgically excise the rest of the skin anomolly within the next month. I am waiting for scheduling to call. They will test it for cancer and pathology will let us know. In the meantime, the appointment worked out good. I was really afraid they were going to try and remove the rest of the breast. The drive was 4 hours each way. My friend chose the restaurant – Golden Corral – which is, of course an all-you-can-eat buffet. I tried to stay reasonable but just the aroma alone was over my 1400 calorie limit so I am happy with only a one pound gain. Still trending down.
09/18 -…..187.8 (Trend Weight 187.8)…..Well, I guess that is the rest of the uptick I expected after the travel and dinner out. I knew only a one pound gain wasn’t right because that’s just not how my body works! Many different types of repairmen are coming today and even a real estate agent to discuss a nearby strip of land I would love to acquire that ajoins my property. Busy, busy, but I hope to fit in a small walk or two if possible.
09/19 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.5)….. So looking back over the month so far, I see that I have been battling up & down the same couple of pounds. So to have this back down by 1.6 doesn’t really impress me unless it sticks! I know how the death and the medical appointments, travels and scares have affected me. But it is time to move on and not let anything stand in the way of what I need for my own health. I feel like I am at a turning point today. I am inspired by all of you! @Lilylady3k I love your reminder which also serves me as well:
"REMINDER:
Why I want to get in shape
* Better health
* More active & outgoing
* I'll look better in pictures
* Not always biggest person in room
* Fun shopping for clothes
* Example for my adult kids
* Live longer & enjoy those years more
09/20 -…..185.2 (Trend Weight 187.3)….. Very low activity and movement yesterday but portion control payed off. Dreaming of the 170’s. I love to be firmly planted in them (177 point anything) by Halloween!
09/21 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 187.1)…..Well, on one hand I’m trending down. However, the scale is up and I’m a bit surprised. My fitbit was down all day yesterday and I finally had to reset it as if it was new to get it working. I had slept funny on the button and totally drained the battery and messed it up. I know that yesterday was hardly any activity as I had the handyman with his family and also the drywall finisher and it rained most of the day. However, I kept diet good so I guess I can blame the uptick on the lack of activity. More rain today but it is supposed to be clear tomorrow. Then rain again on Thursday. The trees are stocking up for winter…..
09/22 –…..187.6 My trend weight is tied to my fitbit. Because I had to restart/reset my fitbit my trend weight is totally skewed right now. I put in my original starting weight on fitbit so the stats would be correct and that throws the current off. It will be a few weeks before I can start accurately listing my trend weight again. Last night I ended up eating one cup of soup and 6 cookies with 8 oz of milk after I logged out of MFP. The amount of increase in weight is ridiculous but it is what it is I guess. I’m going for more movement today which will have to be outside, but it’s cold here in northern Michigan today. Travel tomorrow.
09/23 -…..187.6 Traveling today to get paint. The refinisher is almost done with the drywall prep. Debating on colors. I guess I’ll decide in the store. Right now it feels difficult to make decisions of any kind. Not enough movement yesterday. Meals were great, snacks. Ummmmm….not so much. I’ve got to keep away from the grandkids snacks (and the handyman’s kids snacks I buy) or not bring them in the house at all! Ridiculous since I already have some low cal things for myself that are pretty good. I expect scale will be up again tomorrow due to travel and lack of movement. I’ll spend another weekend trying to get it back down.
09/24 -…..188.8 An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
09/25 -…..188.8…I ate a nice diet dinner yesterday…..twice. No weight loss today and no surprise. Gotta get my head out of my A%# and make it happen!
09/26 –…..188.8…..I am struggling with portion control but my choices are spot on.
09/27 –…..187.6…..Better.
09/28 –…..188.4…..Worse. A mini binge last night brought on by extreme hunger. Even in a binge (not glucose related), the choices could AT THE VERY LEAST been better.
09/29 –…..185.6…..Finally a TMI (potty) that helped. Also, I was careful for dinner and late-night snacks. I just need more water and more movement. But I’m happy to be back to “normal” in my weight. Now….On to some real progress. One more September weight to go. I am already below starting weight and I hope to drop a little more after today. Wouldn’t it be nice if I saw 184 point anything?

Sept GW: 214
9/1 - 223.4
9/2 - 222
9/3 - 222.4
9/4 - 221.4 - 10 lbs down since 8/23
9/5 - 222.6 - UGH!!! I'm really not happy with the scale today since I was really strict with my nutrition yesterday; however, I'm hoping it's bloating due to my monthly visitor coming any day now. I'm still mad tho!
9/6 - 222.4 - Trying to keep my focus!
9/7 - 221.8 - I have to figure out something to stop eating that one little bag of Cool Ranch Doritos with 3 oreos at night! Any suggestions for the late night snacker while watching tv??
9/8 - 222.4 😑
9/9 - 222.2
9/10 - 220.4 Wow 😮 But not too shocked because I wasn’t feeling well yesterday so I may have a rebound.
9/11 - 219.6 Still a sick day but I’ll take it. Feeling better today. Already did a 4 mile walk before 9am today.
9/12 - 218.4
9/13 - 219 - 5 more lbs to go to meet Sept GW!
9/14 - 219.8 - I know it’s a small fluctuation, but I was surprised given the day I had. Guess I did have “sick” weight loss.
9/15 - 219.2
9/16 - 220.4 Geez 🙄 I’ve been staying under my calorie and carb goals.
9/17 - 220.4 Same as a week ago 🙄
9/18 - 221.2
9/19 - DNW
9/20 - 222.1 - Arrived on an Island where I’ll be for the next 2 weeks so it’s going to be tough since I won’t really know how many calories I’m consuming at their restaurants. There is no nutritional information available. It’s so hard being on vacation and not indulging like I used. Hit the gym this morning and felt great to finally do some strength training. The gyms in my city have been closed for a long time so I’ve was previously walking and doing home workouts. Hope I can make some magic happen the last 10 days of the month.
9/21 - 220.8
9/22 - 220.5 Incredibly sore from my first 2 days of hitting the weights. Going to relax by the pool today since it finally stopped raining and allow my body some recovery.
9/23 - 219.2 Right direction and hoping it keeps going!
9/24 - 219.6 Ate more than my normal yesterday so not upset 😀
9/25 - 220.9 More increase in carbs with the different hotel food. Need to get back home so I can cook my own food. One more week to go.
9/26 - 219.7
9/27 - 219.4 Thankful for this number because I really enjoyed myself too much yesterday 🥃🍹
9/28 - 219.9
9/29 - 219.4 Hoping to be here or less for my final Sept weigh-in tomorrow. We’ll see!
9/30 - 219.1
Total Sept Loss - 4.3 lbs! I’m so happy! This happened while I’ve been on vacation for 12 days so far! I’ve never lost weight on vacation and I came to the island on 9/18 so I’ve lost 2 lbs while being here! Ready to get home in a couple of days and tackle October!!!
Great job everyone! Love to see many of you hit your goal and the mindset of those of us that may not have hit goal, but we keep going!7 -

August results: -.6
August end weight: 134.2
September starting weight: 135.2
September goal weight: 132 (maybe this is the month)
Ultimate goal weight: 128
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!
9/05- ???? / 134.1 trend
- Did not weigh. Away from home. No scale. Spent the day at an amusement/water park. A lot of walking but not the best food. Hoping the two counteract each other.
9/06- 133.8 / 134.1 trend
- Much better than I expected. Yesterday was full of French toast, pizza, fries and ice cream! Wonderful day though.
9/07 -134.0 / 134.1 trend
9/08 - 133.6 / 134.0 trend
9/09 - 136.4 / 134.3 trend
- was expected. Mexican restaurant for dinner last night. Over did it. Darn chips! Back on track today and will be working at flushing that added weight off.
9/10 - 134.8 / 134.4 trend
- happy to see the drop
9/11 - 133.4 / 134.2 trend
9/12 - DNW
- was out of town visiting my daughter in college. Ate out twice today, scales won't be happy
9/13 - 136.6 / 134.8 trend
- Too many meals eaten out this weekend and no tracking. Screwed up my goal this month of tracking everything, every day. Back on track today. Need to be vigilant all week. Festival in town this weekend and it will be tough to stay on track again. Need to fix this weekends damage before going into the next.
9/14 - 135.8 / 134.9 trend
9/15 - 134.8 / 134.9 trend
- 3+ mile walk last night as well as an upper body dumbbell workout. I was feeling motivated last night. I also did a bit of cleaning. Hope it continues
9/16 - 135.4 / 135.0 trend
- Chinese food last night.
9/17 - 134.8 / 135.0 trend
- up and down, up and down
9/18 - 133.4 / 134.7 trend
9/19 - DNW
9/20 - 136.6 / 135.2 trend
- weekend was going so well. I managed two long walks and thought I did well on my food, but obviously not. I ended up not logging all weekend. That was my problem. It was a fun town festival weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now it is time to get back on track
9/21 - 135.2 / 135.2 trend
- good walk and a short leg workout
9/22 - 136.4 / 135.3 trend
- little bummed about this. Ate well yesterday and got a good workout in. Sore this morning from the last two days exercise. Hoping it is just water retention due to that. Tomorrow may tell. Hate that I'm weighing higher than the first of the month
9/23 - 136.4 / 135.5 trend
- a little frustrated. Had hoped to see a little drop. Only one week left of the month and I'm heavier than I started the month
9/24 - 135.4 / 135.5 trend
- happy with the drop. I have worked out 3 times this week plus two evenings of relaxation yoga/stretching. I really need to continue with the exercise. I did notice after last nights stretch, the sore muscles felt much better this morning
9/25 - 135.4 / 135.4 trend
9/26 - 137.6 / 135.7 trend
- very bad day of eating yesterday. Just one of those days. Too close to the end of the month to be making these poor choices. Will probably not see a loss this month. Only have myself to blame
9/27 - 136.4 / 135.8 trend
- if I can just end where I started I will be happy-ish
9/28 - 136.2 / 135.9 trend
- late night snacking. Not sure what the issues are. I'm not stressed. Not PMSing, that is no longer a concern. Just get hungry and water doesn't curb the growling stomach. Schedule is so screwed up right now. I like a set schedule with meals and my sons soccer schedule has everything thrown off. Dinner hits at random times anymore. It's either too early and then starving by bedtime or very late and I end up snacking to get me through to dinner. I'm having a hard time spreading the calories out and keeping satisfied. It shouldn't be so difficult! Just one more week and soccer should be over.
9/29 - 133.8 / 135.6 trend
-was expecting some loss but not this much. I didn't feel I drank any more than usual yesterday but I was visiting the bathroom more often throughout the day. I figured at least a pound, so this was a very pleasant surprise
9/30 - 135.0 / 135.5 trend
-well that was short lived. Lost all control last night. Did not eat the best of food for dinner and made the mistake of taking "a few" pieces of candy corn. I should have known better. A few always leads to just a few more. Oh well. Next month will be my month

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!
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 31): 186.8
Goal Weight: 181.8 (Five lb Loss)
Actual End of Challenge Weight on Sept 30, 2021:
09/01 –[/color=orchid…..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 changes nothing.
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…..
09/06 -…..187.2(Trend Weight 187.9)….. I had an extra low calorie day yesterday and managed to fit in some extra movement. It payed off.
09/07 -…..187.6(Trend Weight 187.9)…..I did well with the diet and stayed in the green with my calories. However, absolutely no exercise whatsoever due to heavy schedule. Exercise/movement would have made the difference!
09/08 -…..188.8 (Trend Weight 187.9)…..I caved in to my emotional eating. And now, today, I travel for my CT scans. Restaurants and lots of inactivity. I am worried what tomorrow’s scale reading may be. I may skip the weighing until day after tomorrow to give myself a chance to recoup. I just don’t need anything else on my plate right now. Well man is coming in the morning so that is good news at least.
09/09 -
09/10 –…..DNW…..CT scans under my belt. Now, to wait on those results. Truly, I am way more nervous about the long trip back down to the cancer center on the 16th for the breast cancer issues. These scans just feel like another wrench thrown in. I had to stop my diabetes meds on Wed night before the scans and will begin taking them again Sunday morning. In the meantime, I really need to watch my food choices as my glucose already runs dangerously high. I’ll have to cut back on the carbs drastically. Hungry already after yesterday’s splurges. That is how it usually works. My body liked it, now it wants a repeat. Sorry body, today is my day, not yours!
09/11 -…..189.(Trend Weight 188.3)…..CT Scan results came up good. Liver lesions are cysts that look okay. Lung nodule has grown again, however, they still feel it is not growing fast enough in comparison to all scans since 2019 to merit an invasive biopsy or to call it cancer. They will have me rescan at a later date to see if it remains stable. Whew! The big worry, of course, is the breast cancer in remission and some of the complications I am having at the surgical site. I’ll know more after the 9-16 appointment. Well company never showed up, never called and cancelled, and no sign of him today. This is frustrating! I’m going to try to take an easy day today but I do want to get in more simple movements in small increments that will add up.
09/12 -…..188.4(Trend Weight 188.3)…..I ended up skipping that relaxing easy day yesterday and opted instead to start of a huge endeavor. Taking windows apart upstairs and cleaning them out by the hose outside. Up & down stairs. Fitbit counted 144 flights of stairs! I have many to go and will try to coordinate it better today but I am happy it helped my scale today!
09/13 -…..189.0(Trend Weight 188.4)…..This weight is how it looks when you are up cooking at 1:00 AM after logging out of MFP. I burned a ton of extra calories the last two day and my body was starving and screaming for calories. More windows to clean today, I’ll have to plan better.
09/14 -…..187.6 (Trend Weight 188.3)…..The easier half of the main floor windows and frames are scrubbed, windexed and re-installed. The harder half may have to wait. Thunderstorms today and the scrubbing is being down outside by the hose and bucket of soapy water. I will have to get creative today for movement. Workers will be here – no privacy again.
09/15 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 188.0)…..Finally all this window cleaning is paying off. TMI helped too. More window work is likely today. I have several more windows to finish on the main floor, then I do the basement windows and storms. Travel tomorrow to the cancer center to find out about the breast issues. My posts may be late tomorrow night. My weight will be up on Friday but should be stable by Sunday if I keep my nose clean!
09/16 -…..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. 09/17 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.6)…..I’ll be required to have a 5 cm incision to surgically excise the rest of the skin anomolly within the next month. I am waiting for scheduling to call. They will test it for cancer and pathology will let us know. In the meantime, the appointment worked out good. I was really afraid they were going to try and remove the rest of the breast. The drive was 4 hours each way. My friend chose the restaurant – Golden Corral – which is, of course an all-you-can-eat buffet. I tried to stay reasonable but just the aroma alone was over my 1400 calorie limit so I am happy with only a one pound gain. Still trending down.
09/18 -…..187.8 (Trend Weight 187.8)…..Well, I guess that is the rest of the uptick I expected after the travel and dinner out. I knew only a one pound gain wasn’t right because that’s just not how my body works! Many different types of repairmen are coming today and even a real estate agent to discuss a nearby strip of land I would love to acquire that ajoins my property. Busy, busy, but I hope to fit in a small walk or two if possible.
09/19 -…..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.5)….. So looking back over the month so far, I see that I have been battling up & down the same couple of pounds. So to have this back down by 1.6 doesn’t really impress me unless it sticks! I know how the death and the medical appointments, travels and scares have affected me. But it is time to move on and not let anything stand in the way of what I need for my own health. I feel like I am at a turning point today. I am inspired by all of you! @Lilylady3k I love your reminder which also serves me as well:
"REMINDER:
Why I want to get in shape
* Better health
* More active & outgoing
* I'll look better in pictures
* Not always biggest person in room
* Fun shopping for clothes
* Example for my adult kids
* Live longer & enjoy those years more
09/20 -…..185.2 (Trend Weight 187.3)….. Very low activity and movement yesterday but portion control payed off. Dreaming of the 170’s. I love to be firmly planted in them (177 point anything) by Halloween!
09/21 -…..185.8 (Trend Weight 187.1)…..Well, on one hand I’m trending down. However, the scale is up and I’m a bit surprised. My fitbit was down all day yesterday and I finally had to reset it as if it was new to get it working. I had slept funny on the button and totally drained the battery and messed it up. I know that yesterday was hardly any activity as I had the handyman with his family and also the drywall finisher and it rained most of the day. However, I kept diet good so I guess I can blame the uptick on the lack of activity. More rain today but it is supposed to be clear tomorrow. Then rain again on Thursday. The trees are stocking up for winter…..
09/22 –…..187.6 My trend weight is tied to my fitbit. Because I had to restart/reset my fitbit my trend weight is totally skewed right now. I put in my original starting weight on fitbit so the stats would be correct and that throws the current off. It will be a few weeks before I can start accurately listing my trend weight again. Last night I ended up eating one cup of soup and 6 cookies with 8 oz of milk after I logged out of MFP. The amount of increase in weight is ridiculous but it is what it is I guess. I’m going for more movement today which will have to be outside, but it’s cold here in northern Michigan today. Travel tomorrow.
09/23 -…..187.6 Traveling today to get paint. The refinisher is almost done with the drywall prep. Debating on colors. I guess I’ll decide in the store. Right now it feels difficult to make decisions of any kind. Not enough movement yesterday. Meals were great, snacks. Ummmmm….not so much. I’ve got to keep away from the grandkids snacks (and the handyman’s kids snacks I buy) or not bring them in the house at all! Ridiculous since I already have some low cal things for myself that are pretty good. I expect scale will be up again tomorrow due to travel and lack of movement. I’ll spend another weekend trying to get it back down.
09/24 -…..188.8 An expected uptick of 1.2 today after travel. Let’s hope there isn’t more lingering that will show up in the coming days. I hit Walmart while out of town yesterday and brought home NO JUNK. Not even for guests or grandchildren. Score! Today will be a good day.
09/25 -…..188.8…I ate a nice diet dinner yesterday…..twice. No weight loss today and no surprise. Gotta get my head out of my A%# and make it happen!
09/26 –…..188.8…..I am struggling with portion control but my choices are spot on.
09/27 –…..187.6…..Better.
09/28 –…..188.4…..Worse. A mini binge last night brought on by extreme hunger. Even in a binge (not glucose related), the choices could AT THE VERY LEAST been better.
09/29 –…..185.6…..Finally a TMI (potty) that helped. Also, I was careful for dinner and late-night snacks. I just need more water and more movement. But I’m happy to be back to “normal” in my weight. Now….On to some real progress. One more September weight to go. I am already below starting weight and I hope to drop a little more after today. Wouldn’t it be nice if I saw 184 point anything?
09/30 –…..186.2…..I think this is a normal fluctuation after an almost 3 pound drop overnight yesterday. I did go over a bit with 3 pcs. Of sugar-free dark chocolate. Very little movement yesterday as I spent most of my day standing in front of doors staining and having my hand at some painting. I’ll be doing the same today. I’ve just been too tired at night to do much after the handymen leave (one of them at 9:00 pm every night). I’m down 0.6 on this challenge so at least it’s not a gain, but I should be able to do better and will try in October to improve upon that.

Great job to all - you stuck it out through the entire month! Consistency is a huge part of success in life, no matter the topic.
I hope you participate again in October!6 -
Nikki, 52 years old, 5'6"
WL history: ups and downs for years
Exercise: Y workout 3x/week, walk with or without the dogs 5x/week
Goal: truly give up gluten and avoid it (not allergic, just pick up many pounds of fluid for days)
Goal: put myself on the things-to-do list, and the take-care-of list
Goal: lose it and maintain it
Goal weight: 140
9/1 - 191.4 (result of gluten)
9/2 - 189.4 85min walk last night w/ a Hallmark movie, today planning on a Y workout
9/3 - 188.0 last night's workout felt good, it's been too long. Pounding water today to keep flushing things thru. Planning a lunch walk w/ the dogs.
9/4 - weighed but forgot to log, and now I don't remember lol
9/5 - 188.4
9/6 - 189.4
9/7 - 189.8 lovely walk yesterday while watching a Hallmark movie. Youngest son is getting tested for covid today, he's not feeling well and his close co-worker was confirmed yesterday. Which is really upsetting me because I'm supposed to go to a work conference and fly out next Friday. Obviously if he's positive I'm not going. Also, I'm coming to the realization that I'm not actually trying to lose weight. I typically focus during the week and then make bad food choices every weekend. I'm actually in maintenance, and the scale shows it. So if he's not sick and I go to the conference, then I have a new game plan for the minute I return. And if he is sick and I stay home then I have a new game plan for as soon as he's confirmed. Regardless, I have a plan. And I am walking again today, avoiding the Y workouts until I know if he's sick or not.
9/8 - 189.8 another walk yesterday during a Hallmark movie, planning a shorter walk today because I'm walking myself into a blister.
9/9 - 191.4 no exercise yesterday, too much sodium. Going to push water today.
9/10 - 190.4 keep on flushing!
9/11 - 190.4 Never Forget!
9/12 - weighed but forgot to record
9/13 - 193.4 yikes! bad choices this weekend, along with no exercise
9/14 - 189.4
9/15 - 191.4 gotta love the crazy bounces
9/16 - 190.4
9/17 - flying to Phily for a work conference...going to focus on good food choices and fitting in activity moments whenever/wherever possible.
DNW
9/23 - back home, weighed in at 193.4. OK, so not awesome by any stretch, but better than I was afraid of. Ton of water retention from flying, my feet are really puffy, so today's plan is to drink gallons of water, move, and eat well.
9/24 - 191.0 will keep drinking and flushing LOL. Going to a local street fair tonight, will walk a lot and eat a fruit kabob dipped in chocolate as my treat.
9/25 - 190.0 will keep flushing...
9/26 - weighed but forgot to note it and now I have no idea
9/27 - 191.4 a little bounce up again from the weekend. Planning a lunch walk with the dogs and better choices. I'm determined; it starts today. I'm starting a trend weight app today so am hoping it helps with motivation. Logging my food for the day now too.
9/28 - 189.6 will walk with the dogs again today at lunch. Got my food logged. Off to a good start!
9/29 -
9/30 - 187.0 I weighed yesterday but don't remember what it was; had an early-morning procedure so didn't eat much. Actually I slept the day away. So I'm not confident in this number at all, I think it's mostly a little dehydration. I will claim, however, that I maintained through September despite a business trip and other occasions - I take it as a win.

Hi all
I am Dawn, 61, 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
9/3 - 135.3 - Self-induced, indulgence.
9/4 - 135.8
9/5 - 136.3 - Way too high. Possibly still climbing from one indulgent day.
9/6 - 135.5 - Right direction, but it never feels good to be above the start weight.
9/7 - 135.2
9/8 - 135.1
9/9 - 134.1 - Late dinners from long workdays the last couple, but burned a crapload of calories on my feet waitressing
9/10 - 133.7 -Ditto to yesterday, burned a lot, but ate dinner late.
9/11 - 134.1 - I see that I put the wrong number in yesterday, fixed it. Day off today, plan on being active.
9/12 - DNW - Up at 3am drinking water and then coffee. Didn't bother weighing.
9/13 - 137.8 - Wow, that is really high! I haven't seen this number since last November. Nobody said that this would be easy, but I am hoping that is is a temporary blip.
9/14 - 134.7
9/15 - 133.9 - 2 more workdays until my mini vacay
9/16 - 134.4 - Yes, it was a typo yesterday, fixed it. Thanks Donna
9/17 - 132.9 - Travelled right after work yesterday, hit construction for a standstill, and stopped a couple of times. I woke up too early considering how late it was once I went to bed. Not sure how long I am staying, the province that I am now in begins indoor restrictions on Monday, and that might impact public skating, which I am here to do. Skating today at noon : - )
9/18 - 131.8 - Skated yesterday in Canmore Alberta : - )
9/19 - 132.1 - I really overdid it activity-wise yesterday, hiking and then skating. Woke up at 5am still tired, but couldn't go back to sleep. Driving day today.
9/20 - 132.8 - My 61st birthday - Down 7.3 pounds since my 60th birthday, so I'll take it : - )
9/21 - 134.0 - Overall since I have been away I have burned way more than I have consumed, so once I get home later today I am ready for my body to start to show that over the next couple of days, not just the champagne and snacks from yesterday : - )
9/22 - 134.8 - Time to get off of vacay mode and get on top of this.
9/23 - 134.5 - So easy to put on, so hard to get back off.
9/24 - 134.1 - 6 more days to get this down
9/25 - 133.7
9/26 - 132.9 - Happy to see this number!
9/27 - 134.4 - Not sure why the gain, it doesn't make sense. I did eat late and will be almost all week because of my work schedule, but I was low in calories and very high in calorie burn. Hopefully it works itself out.
9/28 - 134.2 - Really expected/hoped to see this lower. Late dinners for the next 3 because I will be getting out of work late. My calorie inputs have been spot on, as has my calorie burns. Argh, I touch those 131s, but can't stick them this month.
9/29 - 134.8 - Can't help the late dinners with my new work schedule, otherwise I would be way too low on calories. It is what it is I guess.
9/30 - 133.4 - Glad to be below my start weight for the month.
A slight loss for the month - 0.6, but still up higher than I was in the spring.7 -
My name is Anna, Height: 5'4" Age: 40
September starting weight: 137.5
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
9/6 - 140
9/7-139.2
9/8 - 139.2, coming out of a weekend slump, but doing all the motivation things to get back on track.
9/9 - 139.2
9/10 - 137.8, 35" waist
9/11 - 137.2, on a roll!
9/12 - 137.8
9/13-138.5 - hoping just bloated
9/14 - 138.2 - definitely bloated, hoping for a decent drop once it goes away
9/15 - 138.2 - feeling good this morning, just going to keep doing the things
9/16 - 138.2 - still feeling good, just waiting for the scale to drop
9/17 - 138.2 - starting to get sick of this number, maybe tomorrow will be a breakthrough
9/20 - 140.2 - post-weekend bloating.
9/21 - 139
9/22 - 136.9 - I'll take it! Guess I finally de-bloated?
9/23 - 137 - feeling good, not bloated, need to keep on this track.
9/24 - 136.6
9/25 - 138
9/26 - 138
9/27 - 138.4
9/28 - 138.2 - I'm feeling good, so I'll just keep it up.
9/29 - 138.2 - I feel thinner, so it's possible I may have added muscle this month. Taking measurements tomorrow so I'll know for certain what is going on.
9/30 - 137.5. Took final measurements and it appears that I put on a pound of muscle this month. Ending at 18.6% body fat. Waist measurement fluctuated from 34.5" to 35", but now I'm back down to 34.25" so feeling good going into October. See you next month!5 -

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 156.4 lb so I am back to this community to encourage myself to reach 121 lb by the end of July of 2022.
Highest Weight: 180 lbs
MFP Start: 175 lbs
2021 Highest (June): 156.4 lbs
June Start/End: 156.4 / 151.8 (- 4.6)
July Start/End: 151.8 / 148.4 (- 3.4)
August Start/End: 150.2 / 146.4 (- 3.8)
September Start/End: 141.2 lbs (- 5.2)
Ultimate goal: Weigh 121 lbs or less by 06/2022
09/05: 145.8 (- .6) Low motivation
09/11: 145.6 (- .2) Low motivation, close to TOM
09/18: 143.4 (- 2.2) Decided to be kinder to myself
09/25: 142.4 (- 1.0) Rached monthly goal!
10/02: 141.2 (- 1.2) This week I didn't try too hard and even had rest days from morning exercise. Still, I kept moving and my "indulging" choices were on the healthy side. Im so proud of myself!
Congrats to everyone who persevered till the end of the month!
