    My journey began on the 30th of July at 142.7 kg (314.59 pounds)
    My current goal weight is 133kg (293.215)
    During August I lost 7.4 kg (16.3142)

    My goals during September are to:
    * Measure progress regularly (weight and waist circumference)
    * Log food and meet daily food goals each day
    * Be more deliberate about exercise, especially little exercises during the work day (I sit at a desk all day)

    30 / 8: 136.3 kg

    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!

    About Me

    My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.

    My Goals

    My initial target is 100kg by the end of October, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too. My calorie intake target to achieve that is 1,200 - 1,300 calories/day.

    For September my goal is 101.8kg, a loss of 1.8kg (0.45kg or 1 lb/week), and a waist size of 42.5"

    Today's update:

    31/8:103.6kg. Calories 1206. Body Fat 33.7%
    1/9: 103.6kg. Calories 1310. Body Fat 34.2% Waist size 43.5”

    Hello Friends,

    I’m Jill, and I’m officially an empty nester. My daughter is a freshman in college and my son is a senior in college. Feels kind of weird, but I’m so proud of them.

    My September goals are to:

    🍃Get back to logging everyday
    🍃Weighing in everyday
    Everything else is a bonus! I’m giving myself 30 days to get these good habits back in place.

    September 1: 225.5

    Happy September!

    Jill

    09/01-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.8)- A nice little drop without the water pill. I think it was from calorie burn. Had a problem with the garage freezer yesterday evening and I lost hundreds of dollars worth of food. I think it was related to when they were working on the electricity and I was unaware of the issue. Defrosted and re-organized now and I think all is well but keeping an open eye. Lots of mopping during defrosting. I burned a ton of calories and I did manage to save a lot of the food. Now, Dear God, just one question……can my trials stop already? I’m planning a good healthy eating day and waiting for my new exercise bike to arrive. I’ll be ready when I get the okay. Good luck my friends in this end of summer round. Let’s enjoy the weather and make everyday possible count!

    I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I work as an accountant at a gold mine, which basically means I'm chained to a desk for 9 hours a day! Not great for the waistline, so I try to get up and move my body throughout the day and I'm trying to source a stand-up desk (if my boss will fund it...).
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Initial Starting Weight: 138.3kg (304.9lbs)
    September Starting Weight: 131.2kg (289.2lbs)
    September Goal Weight: 129.5kg (285.5lbs)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 64kg (141lbs)

    SEPTEMBER GOALS (DAILY):
    ⚖️ Weigh in
    👟 Walk 5,500+ steps
    🥕 Eat 5 serves of vegetables
    🍎 Eat 2 serves of fruit
    🍽 Serve a smaller portion than "usual"
    🥞 Eat breakfast
    🍫 No snacking directly from the package

    DAILY LOG:

    September 1: ⚖️ 131.0kg (-0.2kg) 👟 3,812 steps 🥕 1 serve 🍎 1 serve 🍽 Yes 🥞 Yes 🍫 Yes
    Area for improvement tomorrow: Overall not a very active day. When I was leaving work at 4pm I hadn't even managed 1200 steps all day! That's how you know it's month end at work - I'm stuck at my desk and don't get much movement. Will work harder on that tomorrow.
    Today's Little Victory: Served a smaller portion for dinner, felt satisfied so didn't go back for anything else to eat which was a great thing for me.

    My September goals are to get more movement in on workdays-this is severely lacking and to be more mindful of self care.

Let’s enjoy the weather and make everyday possible count!



    09/02-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.7)- I made good choices yesterday but the quantities were a bit high. I am glad to see my weight stayed stable, my fat percentage went down and my trend weight continues to go down. Tomorrow is my daughter’s wedding. Hopefully even without that incentive to lose weight, I will still stay on track. My blood pressure continues to be too low and my glucose numbers are through the roof, even with the correct diet. And that is what is so concerning, when I know I have eaten all the “right” foods and my glucose numbers are not responding. The Endocrinologist is probably correct when he says I have become insulin resistant which means I will not respond to the normal oral medications for diabetes anymore. However, I don’t like him and I’m looking for another. So far, no other office within 2 hours of my house. I swear this doctor is at least 110 years old, practically needed help getting into the room, was a grouchy old man and won’t be around much longer anyway. Just being honest……
    Okay, I’m off to paint my nails with French manicure. Wish me luck that I can finish them and get them dry before DGS needs too much.

    Hi there!
    My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
    I'm now in my maintenance range (160-165). I have learned so much about myself through this process!

    Sep 1 - 163 (I knew I had a long day at work so I got up before 5 to ride the Peloton. Work did go late, but I managed to fit a dog walk and a strength session in tonight as well. Feels good!)
    Sep 2 - 163.8 (Checking in from the back seat of my vehicle as we drive across two provinces of Canada to get to my Aunt's wedding.)

    9/2/22- 179.4 lbs :-( How one day can be such a big jump, must be water retention. Only 45 minutes/3.41 miles on my Elliptical. It kept seizing up on me. Hadn't happened before till 2-3 hours in. Guess it's about dead! Checked out another store today with ellipticals. Looked at Octane and Spirit brands today. Previously looked at PreCor and Matrix. Any insight from any of you would be appreciated. The repair guy that had come out 10 days ago said they see many repair needs on Matrix and very early on, that they shouldn't. And long waits for parts on them.

    I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I work as an accountant at a gold mine, which basically means I'm chained to a desk for 9 hours a day! Not great for the waistline, so I try to get up and move my body throughout the day and I'm trying to source a stand-up desk (if my boss will fund it...).
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Initial Starting Weight: 138.3kg (304.9lbs)
    September Starting Weight: 131.2kg (289.2lbs)
    September Goal Weight: 129.5kg (285.5lbs)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 64kg (141lbs)

    SEPTEMBER GOALS (DAILY):
    ⚖️ Weigh in
    👟 Walk 5,500+ steps
    🥕 Eat 5 serves of vegetables
    🍎 Eat 2 serves of fruit
    🍽 Serve a smaller portion than "usual"
    🥞 Eat breakfast
    🍫 No snacking directly from the package

    DAILY LOG:
    September 1: ⚖️ 131.0kg (-0.2kg) 👟 3,812 steps 🥕 1 serve 🍎 1 serve 🍽 Yes 🥞 Yes 🍫 Yes
    Area for improvement tomorrow: Overall not a very active day. When I was leaving work at 4pm I hadn't even managed 1200 steps all day! That's how you know it's month end at work - I'm stuck at my desk and don't get much movement. Will work harder on that tomorrow.
    Today's Little Victory: Served a smaller portion for dinner, felt satisfied so didn't go back for anything else to eat which was a great thing for me.

    September 2: ⚖️ 132.0kg (+1.0kg) 👟 4,563 steps 🥕 4 serves 🍎 1 serve 🍽 Yes 🥞 Yes 🍫 Yes
    Area for improvement tomorrow: Steps again, and freggies. It was a long, tiring week and I was exhausted last night, ended up with a migraine. I'd intended to make tacos for dinner but the mince took forever to defrost and it got too late, so eventually I just made a packet of mac & cheese for my son's dinner, and hubby & I had tomato on toast...not a great healthy meal.
    Today's Little Victory: Usually I pack my food to take to work the night before, but I didn't this time. So, in a rush in the morning, it would have been so easy to pack myself a baked muesli bar for breakfast, but instead I packed a couple of boiled eggs I had in the fridge, a piece of bread to toast at work, and some cherry tomatoes - a much more filling breakfast that easily got me through the morning!

    About Me

    My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.

    My Goals

    My initial target is 100kg by the end of October, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too. My calorie intake target to achieve that is 1,200 - 1,300 calories/day.

    For September my goal is 101.8kg, a loss of 1.8kg (0.45kg or 1 lb/week), and a waist size of 42.5"

    Today's update:

    31/8:103.6kg. Calories 1206. Body Fat 33.7%
    1/9: 103.6kg. Calories 1310. Body Fat 34.2% Waist size 43.5”
    2/9: 103.0kg. Calories 1250. Body Fat 34.2%
    3/9: 103.1kg Calories 2078 Body Fat 34.2%

    My first big blow out since beginning the programme. Just ate and ate, ignoring the inner voice telling me to stop. Some foods hanging around the house that were just too tempting! Surprisingly little weight gain this morning.

    My September goals are to get more movement in on workdays-this is severely lacking and to be more mindful of self care.

    OSW: 250
    UGW: 150 ish
    9/30 GW: 208
    December 2022 GW: Onederland
    CW: 213.1

    9/1: 213.1
    9/2: 213.8
    9/3: 213.8 In the middle of August I dropped 4 pounds in 10 days. I’ve been this weight since 8/19. It’s frustrating but I know what the culprits are, not enough movement and too much stress. I’m trying to work on these this weekend.

    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!
    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 Aug 31): 200.0
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 195.0
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    ******************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME****************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    09/01-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.8)-


    09/02-198.8-(Trend Weight 199.7)- I made good choices yesterday but the quantities were a bit high. I am glad to see my weight stayed stable, my fat percentage went down and my trend weight continues to go down. Tomorrow is my daughter’s wedding. Hopefully even without that incentive to lose weight, I will still stay on track. My blood pressure continues to be too low and my glucose numbers are through the roof, even with the correct diet. And that is what is so concerning, when I know I have eaten all the “right” foods and my glucose numbers are not responding. The Endocrinologist is probably correct when he says I have become insulin resistant which means I will not respond to the normal oral medications for diabetes anymore. However, I don’t like him and I’m looking for another. So far, no other office within 2 hours of my house. I swear this doctor is at least 110 years old, practically needed help getting into the room, was a grouchy old man and won’t be around much longer anyway. Just being honest……
    Okay, I’m off to paint my nails with French manicure. Wish me luck that I can finish them and get them dry before DGS needs too much.

    09/03-199.0-(Trend Weight 199.7)- No worries, normal fluctuation. DD’s Wedding day today! So exciting!
