9/1/22- 175.2 lbs Here's to a better Autumn!
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.

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 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!

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!

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.)
Sep 3 - 162.8 (Hotel breakfast and then I hit the hotel gym for a treadmill session. Lunch was fairly indulgent and there is a reasonable amount of alcohol around for pre-wedding socializing. Trying to pace myself.)

9/3/22- 176.4 lbs

9/4/22- 175 lbs 45 minutes on my elliptical while my roasted butternut squash was roasting. At a wedding today. Tried to be pretty careful and only take a taste of some of the items. Was a impromptu wedding, planned a couple weeks ago for a girl from work, who has been with her beau for 10 years. We all brought a side dish to share. It was very nice for going from a original zoom wedding a few weeks ago to this with a 5-10 minute discussion at a summer work party. As others have said, these things are hard to calculate calories. But I think I did fairly good other than the piece of cake. But you have to have some wedding cake!

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...).
