Hi everyone! I'm Denise, live in Oregon and I'm in my early 70s.

Round 3 for me! This round I’m treating myself like a scientific Guinea pig project using this free National Institutes of Health “Body Weight Planner”. Link: https://bit.ly/3gddENO (We’ll see!)
Goal: reach about 126 lbs this round (-10), stay with my plant-based diet, keep using weights, and lower my cholesterol in the process.

F41, 5'4
Heaviest: 180.8 (5th July '21)

Challenge GW: 133.4lbs (1st May '22)(7lbs)
UGW: 122.4lbs

I've been drifting for the last couple of months, managing to maintain but not really making much progress. I lost 5.4 last time but with lots of ups and downs (6.4 if you count the 1lb I lost from yesterday!). I'm now at a healthy bmi so losing any weight from now on will take a lot of effort so I'm setting a goal of 7lbs which should put me at 10lbs from my ultimate goal weight.
I need to make every day count and up my calorie burn through exercise and activity, no more slow mornings and lazy evenings!
It's a new year and the days are getting longer so time to seize the opportunity. I have my 10 year anniversary at the end of May, possibly planning a 2 week road trip in Canada (I'm in the UK) so I want to be happy and in strong health for that, time to get on it!

Feb 1: 140.4 (trend 140.1) Slightly above my trend weight but I'm happy with that as a starting place

Original starting weight - 293 (01/28/22)
February start weight: 178
Challenge goal weight: 160.6
(My original goal weight was 168 - top end of normal BMI - but as I approach it I know I won't be done there. What exactly is happening beyond that is a little outside my planning range yet but I'm estimating as best I can)

Hi, I’m Karen
I am 64 yrs young, 5'1” female from Oregon

Today, my ‘weight loss’ plan is to eat in range and eat early.
Reading the book, That To Eat When by Roizen & Crupain and this was the first suggestion.

“Eat only when the sun is up; eat earlier, less later.” 

I know I said no more books, but they put out a cookbook and now I also want that one 😏

Hello I'm new to "myfitnesspal". I'm hoping with keeping track of my food intake I can see what I need to do to improve my "healthy choices" I think this is a great group to be held accountable for. Seems like a good time line too.
