Happy new year everyone! Iβm Athena. I am loving these challenges, they are helping me stay motivated!
My goal for this month is to start to focus on my physical activity, this is where I struggle the most. I plan to wake up and go to the gym on weekdays every morning for 45 minutes and occasionally do classes in the afternoon. Iβll also continue to push to only eat out on weekends/on holidays. I am going to try to lose 4 pounds each month.

January 3β214.5 - well - that's a number I never want to see again. Let's do this!
January 4β213
January 5β 213.4 - had sushi last night. Hit my exercise goal, plus 10,000 steps and only 1 glass of wine - so I think it's the sodium.
January 6β212.7 workout done
January 7β 213.4 - hmm - I see some tweaks I need to make
January 8β 211.9 - weight loss is weird - yesterday I had too many chips, had pizza for dinner with wine and I lose this - so bizarre!
January 9β213.4 - there's the pizza! Did better yesterday and got my workout done for today.
January 10β213.4 - not bad for the first week - down 1.2. Now for some tweaks for this week.
January 11β211.9
January 12β 211.9
January 13β 211.4 - a loss and I've stuck with this for 10 days - taking it one day at a time and reminding myself slow and steady wins the race.
January 14β 211.2
January 15β211
January 16β212.1 - pizza on Friday and burgers last night. All good - got my workout in today.
January 17β212.1 - I'll take it! That's 2.3 down in 2 weeks - slow and steady!
January 18β212.5 - not surprised - I had too much Skinny Pop popcorn. Makes me bloated.
January 19β212.7 - got injections in my knees yesterday which causes stress to the body. Hoping this goes down tomorrow.
January 20β213 - this is when I would normally quit. Not this time - sticking with it - a few bad days does not make a month. Today's workout is done!
January 21β212.5 - heading back in the right direction.
January 22β213
January 23β211.9
January 24β212.5
January 25β213.2
January 26β212.2 - just keep losing and gaining the same pound. I will be more focused next month - glad to have started this and am in it for the long haul.

January weight lost so far: 10.4
December 30β190.6
December 31β188.6
January 1β190.6
January 2β188 (First day of 2022 was mostly spent in the car driving the 11+ hours to my Dad's. I had gotten up before the drive to ride my Peloton and got a PR on my 45 minute time. I have to be more creative while I'm here to get my exercise in but you can bet I'll be doing just that!)
January 3β188 (Enjoyed the second day of 2022 at my Dad's house. It's cold here but I got my 10K steps by walking inside. I also did a short dumbbell workout and yoga session. He cooks lots of veggies with his meals so that's been great.)
January 4β186.8 (Finding ways to stay active at Dad's. We had supper at my Aunt and Uncle's house last night - homemade lasagna. Finding ways to stay on track despite being out of my normal routine.)
January 5β188.2 (Back on the road today, heading home from Dad's. Last meal was Chinese food and I ate a little more than planned. Back to normal routine tomorrow. Overall my weight is down on this trip which is great.)
January 6β187 (Great drive home yesterday, did my longest Peloton ride ever when I got home. Back to normal routine but not back to work until tomorrow.)
January 7β186.8 (Work day flew by, Peloton ride on my lunch break, video chat with my mother-in-law tonight. Happy weekend!!)
January 8β185.2 (Up early but hoping to doze a bit more as I had a poor sleep which is unusual for me. We shall see what fun we get up to today!)
January 9β185.4 (Had a nice and relaxing day around home yesterday but did also manage to get outside for my first walk of 2022 - the cold had finally settled just enough to make it bearable! Looking forward to the same again today.)
January 10β184.8 (Yesterday my husband and I went out to trying snowshoeing for the first time. Had a blast! Busy day at work today but I had my 100th Peloton ride live before I started and got a shout out... fun milestone for me!)
January 11β184.6 (Good day of eating, sun was out, walked and biked, showered and planning to read and rest up for the rest of the evening.)
January 12β183.4 (My days seem to have a rhythm to them this week - work, Peloton, supper, MFP, a bit of TV/reading, bed. Whatever works!)
January 13β184.6 (Broke the pattern and started the day with the bike instead. Work has been tough this week. Looking so forward to the weekend.)
January 14β183.2 (At last Friday is here. The weekend is going to be a welcomed break. Lazing around in bed this morning before work so my workout will have to be right after work.)
January 15β182.2 (Up to drive just over an hour north to get our dog groomed. Husband and I will have a great breakfast at a cute little tea house nearby.)
January 16β184.4 (Ate just above maintenance yesterday as my husband made some special food for the Bills playoff game. Today we got out to the mountains to snowshoe and I'll hop on the bike right after this. It was a lovely weekend and I feel recharged and ready for another work week.)
January 17β185.4 (Pretty straightforward day... work, a walk at lunch, exercise after work. Good meals today, no calories left over for snacking. Will tuck in with a book or a bath or something else to take my mind off things.)
January 18β184.4 (Cold weather is back so I didn't walk but I did ride the bike at lunch. Going to walk a bit while I watch TV to get my step count up as I spent most of the day sitting.)
January 19β183.2 (Just keeping things moving. Did my ride, got through work, and enjoyed my meals.)
January 20β181.4 (Got a difficult situation dealt with today, did a Peloton ride, some dance cardio, and now I'm about to relax for supper with my husband. Feeling so glad it's Friday tomorrow!)
January 21β183 (Day off the bike today to rest up for the PeloFondo event tomorrow where I'll ride my longest daily distance ever. Looking forward to the challenge!)
January 22β185 (PeloFondo is underway! I've done about 60% of my distance and my husband is currently finishing up his day. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I'll finish mine before and after, depending on time.)
January 23β185.2 (Cycling event went super well yesterday, both my husband and I met our goals. Mostly rest with some walking mixed in for today. And football!)
January 24β186 (Did my Peloton retest of the FTP and I'm very happy with my improved results. Cooked a nice chicken dinner for my Mom and I as my husband is out of town.)
January 25β183.8 (Breakfast made, about to start work, walk at lunch and an easy salad that's premade, Peloton after work, and a healthy supper. Then hoping for a bath or hot tub!)
January 26β180.2 (Had a super challenging Peloton ride yesterday and felt so accomplished afterwards. My husband got home this afternoon, yay!)

01/20.β¦..192.6β¦..(Trend Weight 193.0)β¦..
01/21.β¦..193.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.0)β¦.. Great dietary choices yesterday and nice quantities within my limits. Still a lack of movement and low water. The water part I can work on. A slice of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip very late last night likely accounts for the major part of the uptick. That was my only lapse yesterday. Today my goal is to not be influenced to over eat or eat the wrong things. My daughter is off work for her normal 3 day weekend and she eats constantly!
01/22.β¦..193.6β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. Pasta for dinner but all within calories. Only 5000+ steps due to reno restrictions. It must be that.
01/23.β¦..196.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesnβt make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and Iβm trapped down. Iβve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.5)β¦.. Diet and Calories about the same as yesterday. One day a double huge gain. The next day a nice loss. Go Figure! Moving onβ¦β¦
01/25.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦.. I guess no change is better than a gain. Fitbit shows over 7000 steps and 20 flights of stairs although Iβm very sure it was more flights than it captured. Livingroom reno is moving s..l..o..w. I will be involved in renoβs for YEARS. This is about 3200 or 3300 sq ft of finished house and it ALL has to go. Bye-bye 1970βs. Some things I am doing are cosmetic until we can get back to the big stuff in the spring when the roads are better for the long hauls from the big box stores. It is looking much better though. The areas we are working on are the most restrictive for actual living. Another week maybe?
01/26.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦β¦ Same lack of movement as yesterday. I did get in 15 flights of stairs (mine are long and steep) according to fitbit but I swear it was more. A little of 7000 steps again. That is low for me. Handymen were off today because I traveled to out-of-town dentist for a cleaning. Got in some shopping and hit a hobby lobby. Next time I am taking a tent and making it a vacation. So much inspiration in that place. I couldnβt get out without spending $200 + dollars and that was with everything I purchased at 50% off. Hopefully the steps throughout that one store alone today will make up for the Applebeeβs.

Happy new year everyone! Iβm Athena. I am loving these challenges, they are helping me stay motivated!
My goal for this month is to start to focus on my physical activity, this is where I struggle the most. I plan to wake up and go to the gym on weekdays every morning for 45 minutes and occasionally do classes in the afternoon. Iβll also continue to push to only eat out on weekends/on holidays. I am going to try to lose 4 pounds each month.

Aaahh Iβm so close! Iβm at 156 even today again, so maybe Iβll see that 155 again soon. Happy with the progress Iβve made either way this month. Been running consistently and am really feeling a difference and I can already run much longer. I could barely handle 3 minutes at a slow pace at first without a break and today I went for a fast pace for about 20 minutes. I also legit do feel happy for a while after running and my anxiety is feeling in check too. My therapist recommended this thing called a βlong runβ where you choose a day and run longer to build endurance. She was saying that would make me feel even better, itβs worth a shot! Going to try for that on Saturday. Iβm a bit worried about working out 7 days a week, Iβve not done that before and heard that break days are good, so Iβll just try to be careful and pace myself!

My name is Donna. I am 5β 5β 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!

01/20.β¦..192.6β¦..(Trend Weight 193.0)β¦..
01/21.β¦..193.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.0)β¦.. Great dietary choices yesterday and nice quantities within my limits. Still a lack of movement and low water. The water part I can work on. A slice of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip very late last night likely accounts for the major part of the uptick. That was my only lapse yesterday. Today my goal is to not be influenced to over eat or eat the wrong things. My daughter is off work for her normal 3 day weekend and she eats constantly!
01/22.β¦..193.6β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. Pasta for dinner but all within calories. Only 5000+ steps due to reno restrictions. It must be that.
01/23.β¦..196.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesnβt make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and Iβm trapped down. Iβve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.5)β¦.. Diet and Calories about the same as yesterday. One day a double huge gain. The next day a nice loss. Go Figure! Moving onβ¦β¦
01/25.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦.. I guess no change is better than a gain. Fitbit shows over 7000 steps and 20 flights of stairs although Iβm very sure it was more flights than it captured. Livingroom reno is moving s..l..o..w. I will be involved in renoβs for YEARS. This is about 3200 or 3300 sq ft of finished house and it ALL has to go. Bye-bye 1970βs. Some things I am doing are cosmetic until we can get back to the big stuff in the spring when the roads are better for the long hauls from the big box stores. It is looking much better though. The areas we are working on are the most restrictive for actual living. Another week maybe?
01/26.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦β¦ Same lack of movement as yesterday. I did get in 15 flights of stairs (mine are long and steep) according to fitbit but I swear it was more. A little of 7000 steps again. That is low for me. Handyment were off today because I traveled to out-of-town dentist for a cleaning. Got in some shopping and hit a hobby lobby. Next time I am taking a tent and making it a vacation. So much inspiration in that place. I couldnβt get out without spending $200 + dollars and that was with everything I purchased at 50% off. Hopefully the steps throughout that one store alone today will make up for the Applebeeβs.
01/27.β¦..196.8β¦..(Trend Weight 194.0)β¦β¦ Wow, what a jump overnight after travel. Yesterday was lots of sitting, too much spending and 3 meals instead of 2. Back to being restricted while babysitting today and during the continued work in the living room today. Back to climbing stairs for exercise. Pushing water because 2 Β½ pounds in one day over normal sized (but normal calorie) meals is crazy. Gotta be some bloat in there!

January 2β188 (First day of 2022 was mostly spent in the car driving the 11+ hours to my Dad's. I had gotten up before the drive to ride my Peloton and got a PR on my 45 minute time. I have to be more creative while I'm here to get my exercise in but you can bet I'll be doing just that!)
January 3β188 (Enjoyed the second day of 2022 at my Dad's house. It's cold here but I got my 10K steps by walking inside. I also did a short dumbbell workout and yoga session. He cooks lots of veggies with his meals so that's been great.)
January 4β186.8 (Finding ways to stay active at Dad's. We had supper at my Aunt and Uncle's house last night - homemade lasagna. Finding ways to stay on track despite being out of my normal routine.)
January 5β188.2 (Back on the road today, heading home from Dad's. Last meal was Chinese food and I ate a little more than planned. Back to normal routine tomorrow. Overall my weight is down on this trip which is great.)
January 6β187 (Great drive home yesterday, did my longest Peloton ride ever when I got home. Back to normal routine but not back to work until tomorrow.)
January 7β186.8 (Work day flew by, Peloton ride on my lunch break, video chat with my mother-in-law tonight. Happy weekend!!)
January 8β185.2 (Up early but hoping to doze a bit more as I had a poor sleep which is unusual for me. We shall see what fun we get up to today!)
January 9β185.4 (Had a nice and relaxing day around home yesterday but did also manage to get outside for my first walk of 2022 - the cold had finally settled just enough to make it bearable! Looking forward to the same again today.)
January 10β184.8 (Yesterday my husband and I went out to trying snowshoeing for the first time. Had a blast! Busy day at work today but I had my 100th Peloton ride live before I started and got a shout out... fun milestone for me!)
January 11β184.6 (Good day of eating, sun was out, walked and biked, showered and planning to read and rest up for the rest of the evening.)
January 12β183.4 (My days seem to have a rhythm to them this week - work, Peloton, supper, MFP, a bit of TV/reading, bed. Whatever works!)
January 13β184.6 (Broke the pattern and started the day with the bike instead. Work has been tough this week. Looking so forward to the weekend.)
January 14β183.2 (At last Friday is here. The weekend is going to be a welcomed break. Lazing around in bed this morning before work so my workout will have to be right after work.)
January 15β182.2 (Up to drive just over an hour north to get our dog groomed. Husband and I will have a great breakfast at a cute little tea house nearby.)
January 16β184.4 (Ate just above maintenance yesterday as my husband made some special food for the Bills playoff game. Today we got out to the mountains to snowshoe and I'll hop on the bike right after this. It was a lovely weekend and I feel recharged and ready for another work week.)
January 17β185.4 (Pretty straightforward day... work, a walk at lunch, exercise after work. Good meals today, no calories left over for snacking. Will tuck in with a book or a bath or something else to take my mind off things.)
January 18β184.4 (Cold weather is back so I didn't walk but I did ride the bike at lunch. Going to walk a bit while I watch TV to get my step count up as I spent most of the day sitting.)
January 19β183.2 (Just keeping things moving. Did my ride, got through work, and enjoyed my meals.)
January 20β181.4 (Got a difficult situation dealt with today, did a Peloton ride, some dance cardio, and now I'm about to relax for supper with my husband. Feeling so glad it's Friday tomorrow!)
January 21β183 (Day off the bike today to rest up for the PeloFondo event tomorrow where I'll ride my longest daily distance ever. Looking forward to the challenge!)
January 22β185 (PeloFondo is underway! I've done about 60% of my distance and my husband is currently finishing up his day. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I'll finish mine before and after, depending on time.)
January 23β185.2 (Cycling event went super well yesterday, both my husband and I met our goals. Mostly rest with some walking mixed in for today. And football!)
January 24β186 (Did my Peloton retest of the FTP and I'm very happy with my improved results. Cooked a nice chicken dinner for my Mom and I as my husband is out of town.)
January 25β183.8 (Breakfast made, about to start work, walk at lunch and an easy salad that's premade, Peloton after work, and a healthy supper. Then hoping for a bath or hot tub!)
January 26β180.2 (Had a super challenging Peloton ride yesterday and felt so accomplished afterwards. My husband got home this afternoon, yay!)
January 27β179.8 (Pinch me, I've found a new decade today! Work is busy, so I'm just keeping things simple. Eating good food, getting my workouts in. Trying to sleep well and keep my stress down. Checking in with you lovely folks here!)

January 1β190.6
January 2β188 (First day of 2022 was mostly spent in the car driving the 11+ hours to my Dad's. I had gotten up before the drive to ride my Peloton and got a PR on my 45 minute time. I have to be more creative while I'm here to get my exercise in but you can bet I'll be doing just that!)
January 3β188 (Enjoyed the second day of 2022 at my Dad's house. It's cold here but I got my 10K steps by walking inside. I also did a short dumbbell workout and yoga session. He cooks lots of veggies with his meals so that's been great.)
January 4β186.8 (Finding ways to stay active at Dad's. We had supper at my Aunt and Uncle's house last night - homemade lasagna. Finding ways to stay on track despite being out of my normal routine.)
January 5β188.2 (Back on the road today, heading home from Dad's. Last meal was Chinese food and I ate a little more than planned. Back to normal routine tomorrow. Overall my weight is down on this trip which is great.)
January 6β187 (Great drive home yesterday, did my longest Peloton ride ever when I got home. Back to normal routine but not back to work until tomorrow.)
January 7β186.8 (Work day flew by, Peloton ride on my lunch break, video chat with my mother-in-law tonight. Happy weekend!!)
January 8β185.2 (Up early but hoping to doze a bit more as I had a poor sleep which is unusual for me. We shall see what fun we get up to today!)
January 9β185.4 (Had a nice and relaxing day around home yesterday but did also manage to get outside for my first walk of 2022 - the cold had finally settled just enough to make it bearable! Looking forward to the same again today.)
January 10β184.8 (Yesterday my husband and I went out to trying snowshoeing for the first time. Had a blast! Busy day at work today but I had my 100th Peloton ride live before I started and got a shout out... fun milestone for me!)
January 11β184.6 (Good day of eating, sun was out, walked and biked, showered and planning to read and rest up for the rest of the evening.)
January 12β183.4 (My days seem to have a rhythm to them this week - work, Peloton, supper, MFP, a bit of TV/reading, bed. Whatever works!)
January 13β184.6 (Broke the pattern and started the day with the bike instead. Work has been tough this week. Looking so forward to the weekend.)
January 14β183.2 (At last Friday is here. The weekend is going to be a welcomed break. Lazing around in bed this morning before work so my workout will have to be right after work.)
January 15β182.2 (Up to drive just over an hour north to get our dog groomed. Husband and I will have a great breakfast at a cute little tea house nearby.)
January 16β184.4 (Ate just above maintenance yesterday as my husband made some special food for the Bills playoff game. Today we got out to the mountains to snowshoe and I'll hop on the bike right after this. It was a lovely weekend and I feel recharged and ready for another work week.)
January 17β185.4 (Pretty straightforward day... work, a walk at lunch, exercise after work. Good meals today, no calories left over for snacking. Will tuck in with a book or a bath or something else to take my mind off things.)
January 18β184.4 (Cold weather is back so I didn't walk but I did ride the bike at lunch. Going to walk a bit while I watch TV to get my step count up as I spent most of the day sitting.)
January 19β183.2 (Just keeping things moving. Did my ride, got through work, and enjoyed my meals.)
January 20β181.4 (Got a difficult situation dealt with today, did a Peloton ride, some dance cardio, and now I'm about to relax for supper with my husband. Feeling so glad it's Friday tomorrow!)
January 21β183 (Day off the bike today to rest up for the PeloFondo event tomorrow where I'll ride my longest daily distance ever. Looking forward to the challenge!)
January 22β185 (PeloFondo is underway! I've done about 60% of my distance and my husband is currently finishing up his day. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I'll finish mine before and after, depending on time.)
January 23β185.2 (Cycling event went super well yesterday, both my husband and I met our goals. Mostly rest with some walking mixed in for today. And football!)
January 24β186 (Did my Peloton retest of the FTP and I'm very happy with my improved results. Cooked a nice chicken dinner for my Mom and I as my husband is out of town.)
January 25β183.8 (Breakfast made, about to start work, walk at lunch and an easy salad that's premade, Peloton after work, and a healthy supper. Then hoping for a bath or hot tub!)
January 26β180.2 (Had a super challenging Peloton ride yesterday and felt so accomplished afterwards. My husband got home this afternoon, yay!)
January 27β179.8 (Pinch me, I've found a new decade today! Work is busy, so I'm just keeping things simple. Eating good food, getting my workouts in. Trying to sleep well and keep my stress down. Checking in with you lovely folks here!)

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

01/21.β¦..193.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.0)β¦.. Great dietary choices yesterday and nice quantities within my limits. Still a lack of movement and low water. The water part I can work on. A slice of pumpkin pie with Cool Whip very late last night likely accounts for the major part of the uptick. That was my only lapse yesterday. Today my goal is to not be influenced to over eat or eat the wrong things. My daughter is off work for her normal 3 day weekend and she eats constantly!
01/22.β¦..193.6β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. Pasta for dinner but all within calories. Only 5000+ steps due to reno restrictions. It must be that.
01/23.β¦..196.0β¦..(Trend Weight 193.1)β¦.. WTH????? Okay, I know how to play this game and THIS doesnβt make ANY sense! I did have Chinese carry-out for dinner brought in by daughter so I expected a bump up even though I drank extra water and I only ate half leaving leftovers for today, but the rest of my day was very good. It has to be the lack of exercise. This project is not yet half finished . My poor grandson is trapped upstairs and Iβm trapped down. Iβve got to use the steps today for some extra movement.
01/24.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.5)β¦.. Diet and Calories about the same as yesterday. One day a double huge gain. The next day a nice loss. Go Figure! Moving onβ¦β¦
01/25.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦.. I guess no change is better than a gain. Fitbit shows over 7000 steps and 20 flights of stairs although Iβm very sure it was more flights than it captured. Livingroom reno is moving s..l..o..w. I will be involved in renoβs for YEARS. This is about 3200 or 3300 sq ft of finished house and it ALL has to go. Bye-bye 1970βs. Some things I am doing are cosmetic until we can get back to the big stuff in the spring when the roads are better for the long hauls from the big box stores. It is looking much better though. The areas we are working on are the most restrictive for actual living. Another week maybe?
01/26.β¦..194.4β¦..(Trend Weight 193.6)β¦β¦ Same lack of movement as yesterday. I did get in 15 flights of stairs (mine are long and steep) according to fitbit but I swear it was more. A little of 7000 steps again. That is low for me. Handyment were off today because I traveled to out-of-town dentist for a cleaning. Got in some shopping and hit a hobby lobby. Next time I am taking a tent and making it a vacation. So much inspiration in that place. I couldnβt get out without spending $200 + dollars and that was with everything I purchased at 50% off. Hopefully the steps throughout that one store alone today will make up for the Applebeeβs.
01/27.β¦..196.8β¦..(Trend Weight 194.0)β¦β¦ After travel weight. 3 meals instead of 2.
01/28.β¦..196.4β¦..(Trend Weight 194.2)β¦β¦ A small drop reinforcing the knowledge that it sure comes on faster than it drops off!
01/29.β¦..xxxxxβ¦..(Trend Weight xxxxx)β¦β¦

Hi, I'm Karen. I found the December challenge helpful so I'm back for January. Thanks for the accountability help!
Goals for January:
Weigh, track, stay within maintenance calories, exercise, gratitude every day.
Jan 1: 143.
Jan 2: 144.3. Didn't stay within maintenance calories last 2 days. Old problem of eating after I get home from a social thing. Need to go right to bed.
Jan 3: 142.4. Again above maintenance calories yesterday, but I avoided after dinner eating, so that was a success. Met my other goals.
Jan 4: 142.2. Met yesterday's goals.
Jan 5: 142.4. Over calorie goal and didn't walk yesterday.
Jan 6: 142.4. Met goals yesterday.
Jan 7: 142.0. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 8: 143.4. Missed exercise goal but met the others.
Jan 9: 142.4. Over maintenance calories but met other goals.
Jan 10: 143. Slightly over calorie target, but met other goals. I realized that the last few weeks have been teaching me what my maintenance calories are since my weight has been very steady. So if I really want to lose weight I have to cut out something. This is a good moment for me to rethink my nightly wine drinking.
Jan 11: 142.2. Met goals yesterday. I cut back my nightly wine by half. I'd like to cut it out completely for 3 or 4 nights per week but I need a little time to get my head around that. I'll think about health and taking care of myself and that will help me get there.
Jan 12: 143.4. Met goals yesterday except for the wine goal.
Jan 13: 141.8. Met goals yesterday.
Jan 14: 141.8. Wine goal is not happening. Health risks on this should be motivating me but they're not.
Other goals met.
Jan 15: 144.6. Ouch. Chinese food and some extra treats took me over calorie goal. Also missed exercise goal.
Jan 23: 143.6. A few days off line. Back on track today.
Jan 24: 141.8. Over calorie target a bit on Sunday. Met other goals.
Jan25: 144.4. Crazy amount of sodium yesterday. Met goals.
Jan26: 143.6. Met goals yesterday.
Jan 28: 143.6. No exercise yesterday. Met other goals.3 -

πLose .5 pounds each weekβ¦ 26 pounds this year
πWork out 3-5 days a week
πDrink less wine
πLog consistently
πEat at or under my calorie goal
πMove 30 minutes a day
Highest weight:214.5
Current weight:214.5
January Goal Weight: 209
January 3β214.5 - well - that's a number I never want to see again. Let's do this!
January 4β213
January 5β 213.4 - had sushi last night. Hit my exercise goal, plus 10,000 steps and only 1 glass of wine - so I think it's the sodium.
January 6β212.7 workout done
January 7β 213.4 - hmm - I see some tweaks I need to make
January 8β 211.9 - weight loss is weird - yesterday I had too many chips, had pizza for dinner with wine and I lose this - so bizarre!
January 9β213.4 - there's the pizza! Did better yesterday and got my workout done for today.
January 10β213.4 - not bad for the first week - down 1.2. Now for some tweaks for this week.
January 11β211.9
January 12β 211.9
January 13β 211.4 - a loss and I've stuck with this for 10 days - taking it one day at a time and reminding myself slow and steady wins the race.
January 14β 211.2
January 15β211
January 16β212.1 - pizza on Friday and burgers last night. All good - got my workout in today.
January 17β212.1 - I'll take it! That's 2.3 down in 2 weeks - slow and steady!
January 18β212.5 - not surprised - I had too much Skinny Pop popcorn. Makes me bloated.
January 19β212.7 - got injections in my knees yesterday which causes stress to the body. Hoping this goes down tomorrow.
January 20β213 - this is when I would normally quit. Not this time - sticking with it - a few bad days does not make a month. Today's workout is done!
January 21β212.5 - heading back in the right direction.

Hello Everyone from before and Newbies!
I'm Mary 64, 5'4" from Pennsylvania. My goal is to get back down AGAIN to 122 lbs. Kept it off for about 5 years and then got lazy. My body just stores Carbs too easily.

Great group of motivating members! Thank you Jill! My goal is 5 lbs for January. My other goal is 15 lbs for Nov, Dec and Jan. Welcome back everyone! JOIN US!

Had a weak moment and ate a couple donuts that someone brought into work, before I left one night. Disappointing but it will come back off. Maybe some water retention too from not enough sleep or as much water as I usually drink. Did 269 minutes on my Elliptical for 18 miles this AM!
1/24/22-165 lbs :-( Ugh! Going the wrong way! Disheartening. Enough said.
1/25/22-162 lbs :-) Not my lightest weight but at least whatever the gain was, the donuts, lack of enough sleep or just water weight, its heading in the correct direction again! Did 270 minutes on my Elliptical today for 18.13 miles.
