My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 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!

08/07-198.2-(Trend Weight 200.7)- Glucose has remained very high these past few days (since surgery). Logging every bite the last few so I know I’m not missing anything and weight is dropping. Why so high? I don’t get it! The only change is the lack of exercise until I am allowed. But I am moving pretty steady with simple housecleaning, stretches etc. Baffled!
08/08-196.4-(Trend Weight 200.3)- A very nice drop after a very good day. I’ve been working pretty hard to make my scratch-off chart listed above a little more honest after I drifted back up into the 200’s. Travel today and tomorrow, both involving food but I will try to be reasonable. I’m officially allowed more movement starting tomorrow, but I did sneak on the exercise bike for about 16 minutes last night. It must have pushed the scale.

I am Dawn
5'2", 61 and 5/6th : - )
I have been on MFP since October 2018.
I am close to 10 pounds heavier than this time last year.
Hoping to drop weight this month, but have extended company coming, an old friend who is a chef and cooks amazing meals. So much for my grilled chicken with veggies or salad. I will do my best.
I gained 0.6 last month
Monday August 01 - 139.2 - Using last month's EW. A holiday in my Province today, but not a food holiday. I am working.
Tuesday August 02 - 138.6 - Hoping to continue to see drops before my company arrives on Saturday so that I have a "cushion". Feeling pretty lean this morning.
Wednesday August 03 - 139.0 - I had planned a cleanse for later in August, but Wild Rose has been discontinued. It is a bunch of herbs and a food plan. I do know the food columns of what to have 80% of each day etc. The herbs are organ specific. I will be looking into what else is available. Does anyone have a good kit that they use?
Thursday August 04 - 138.8 - Going to keep it very light for the next couple of days before my company arrives. He is a chef and I expect to be eating more (and richer) food than usual starting Saturday for 8 days
Friday August 05 - 139.9 - Quite surprised at this jump up, I had a very good day exercise and food wise. Going to try to take it in stride, actually feeling lean this morning.
Saturday August 05 - 138.1 - That was the last of being "good" for the next 8 days. I am going to try not to be rude and sit at the kitchen table at my laptop reading and writing into these forums while I have company (in a couple more hours from now). I will be logging and weighing, just not sure if I will make it on here or not.
Sunday August 06 - 136.2
Monday August 07 - 138.3 - eating amazing meals
Tuesday August 08 - 138.8 - Surprised (but glad) that it wasn't more, especially since I was up and weighing at 5am. Getting stuff done before my company wakes up : - )4 -
Hi! My name is Shannan. I am not new to MFP but I am getting started again the past couple months. I made good progress in July and my birthday came and beings that I have wonderful friends and family I celebrated for more than just one day. Since then I have found myself up and down on the staying focused and food tracking. I am hoping having some accountability will help me get back on the path I was on. Thank you for this group.

Travel canceled for today so I hope to keep it extra clean. Having a dinner reunion of sorts this weekend with my group of best friends when I was growing up. I haven’t seen most of them in 45 years except in my heart. This will involve travel and food, and I am admittedly very anxious about how I’ve aged and how I look, but I’ve missed them for too long!

I fully understand Donna, but just remember, they have aged right along with you. You will have fun and that is the most important thing! Enjoy the get together2 -
My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
July end weight: 130.0
July results: +1.4
August goal: maintenance of 128-132
My goal this month is to maintain weight as well as increase activity. I will be moving at some point this month so I will be doing a lot of packing. Have been waiting for a definite start date on a new job, but they are still going through the process of doing background checks and such. I currently work for the State and have been accepted for another position with the State. Unfortunately, they won't just open my personnel file and retrieve the information they already have, they are doing it all over again from scratch. It has been over a month since they began. It's very frustrating. Anyway, somehow I am hoping to find time to increase workouts/walks while packing and preparing for a wedding.

8/09: DNW missed it again! Up till 2 am with my son. Spent the evening in the emergency room. He decided two days before school starts (a new school at that) to fall and break his collarbone. Slept in a bit this morning and didn't get on the scales. My plan is to get it done tomorrow. A little worried about what number will show up!4 -

Sorry to hear about your son's fall. Hope he heals well, sounds painful...3 -

Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.
Height: 5'4"
Age: 45

Goals: Plan and Log all food, Quit sugary drinks, Manage midnight eating, increase gym time, stretch.
08/01: 190.1 - Mindful midnight eating.
08/02: 188.7 - Went swimming. Limited my iced tea/lemonade consumption to 1 glass at work.
08/03: 190.1 - Later dinner with family, heavy carbs in that meal, stress ate before bed. Sigh.
08/04: 188.6 - Stayed within my calories.
08/05: 190.0 - Came home from busy day at work to dinner made by my hubby. I thought I could "guestimate" the calories since I was starving, but once I went back and entered everything that was on that dish, I was way over calories.
08/06: 190.5 - Still combating late night hunger/cravings.
08/07: 190.5 - Zumba day. It was a lot of fun, but my left hip isn't having fun today. Lol!

08/10-197.0-(Trend Weight 199.8)- I had an excellent eating day yesterday and got in a little mild exercise which I am easing into. I rode the exercise bike for 20 minutes. Amazing considering that just a few short months ago I thought that 3 minutes felt like hours and could only do the 3 minutes at a time! My glucose remains much too high since surgery with no explanation. I have been very weak and sickly these past couple of days and I think it’s related to that and possibly the new meds. Stress doesn’t help either and with the wedding planning for my daughter, well, let’s just say that very little is going right. Today my handymen will start the process of putting an Egress window down to my son’s apartment in the basement. I will feel much safer because of his disabilities to have it in place. Pics are below, sorry I don't know how to make these smaller.

August goal - to not gain
With my right leg in a beautiful walking boot due to a stress fracture from March that I finally got diagnosed/xrayed in late July, my exercise is nil. My entire goal for the month is to not gain. While in Orlando for work, my focus is going to be protein + veg.
8/1 - 197.8
8/2 - to Orlando for work meeting, no scale
8/3 - Orlando
8/4 - Orlando
8/5 - Orlando, late flight home
8/6 - 197.8
8/8 - 200.2
8/9 - 200.0
8/10 - 200.4
8/11 -
8/12 -
8/13 - to Cincinnati for a Reds vs Cubs baseball game with my family, in honor of my dad
8/14 - home from Cincinnati
8/15 -
And here I am, posting weights for the last 3 days. I have no idea why I jumped after I got home but I do know my feet/ankles are still swollen from the flight... I have managed to completely break my habit of check in here daily, I know I was much more motivated when I checked in here every morning and caught up with everyone.4 -

How was your son's first day of school?
(It seems early for that by the way.. is it not?)2 -
@ashleycarole86
His first day went well. It's a much larger school than he's use to. His sophomore class is the size of his previous school! He's a cutie and injured, so he had a lot of assistance from the girls in his classes.
Yes, it seems early, but all the schools around here start this soon. I miss the good ole days of starting right after Labor Day weekend. They have more "holidays" and breaks than I had in school. Thank you for asking! 3
