I’m also a daily weigher so really happy to have found this group. I live in B.C., Canada, am 75 yrs old and focusing on staying active, toning and getting back into the 150’s. After retiring a few yrs ago I felt there was still “more” to my life so started working as a server etc at a local seniors’ assisted living home. It’s hard work but I love helping the elderly. My hugest challenge is evening / late night eating; this has been a lifelong struggle. A year ago I was 9 lbs lighter so that’s my 3rd milestone goal. I used WW blue plan as a guideline but had my best success with Noom; now pulling together the best parts of each program but the group wisdom and support I find with MFP is what really keeps me from straying too far off the plan.

1st goal: 161; 2nd goal – 158 (by end of Sept), 3rd goal - 156

Sept 1st: 164.4 stacked wood,
2nd: 164.4
3rd: 164 Plan is to start treadmilling today (15 minutes). Did 30 minutes
4th: 166..8
5th: 165 Crocheted instead of nibbling.
6th: 164.4 Sooo much stress but crocheted to get thru the evening. Shoulder started hurting, hope it’s not caused by my crocheting b/c it’s a difficult pattern. Ended evening the evening with a small glass of wine.
7th: 162.4 crossing my finger I can hold this wt drop.

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.)
Sep 4 - 166.2
Sep 5 - 166
Sep 6 - 165.6 (We had a fantastic time at the wedding. Definitely ate and drank way too much BUT that's the good thing about daily weighing.. doesn't turn into a 3 month binge. We are back on the road home today so it's another 11 hour day in the car. Tomorrow we start driving west for my husband's bike race but we are breaking that drive up so tomorrow and Thursday's jaunts won't be such long days. Lots of car time means when I'm out of it I need to be moving!)
Sep 7- 165.2 (Today we are driving west to Kamloops, BC. We are on our way to Vancouver for my husband's Gran Fondo on Saturday. I just had a diner meal that was much heavier than my normal choices. Getting a bit caught up in vacation mode decision making.)

Mary 65 from Pennsylvania. Goal weight 122 lbs. Was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for about 5 years and got lazy. I do low Carb 15+/- 3 Net Carbs/day(My body seems to hang on to Carbs/not burn them),1000-1200 calories daily, 2 meals on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days (4, long hours) and I only exercise on my days off due to the long work days.
Heaviest weight: 255 lbs, twice :-(

9/14/20-255 lbs. Started a new job without a micromanager.
5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
5/14/21-232.2 lbs. Started MFP, low carb and calorie restricted diet while recovering. Actively trying to lose now.
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212 lbs
9/1/21-200 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
1/1/22-168 lbs
2/1/22-157.4 lbs

7/1/22-157.4 lbs :-(
8/1/22-167.2 lbs :-(

Current weight: 176.2 lbs (Lowest recent weight was 147.6 lbs on 4/6 & 4/7)

Daily Goals:

🌱Drink @ least 90 ounces of water
🌱Plan meals and log in advance
🌱Log honestly and consistently
🌱Eat at or under my calorie goal
🌼 Weigh in each morning
🌼 Post each day under this challenge
🌼 Continue weight lifting.
🌼🌱🌱🌱🌱

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.
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!
9/5/22- 177.2 lbs :-( Stayed true to my plan today. Wanted something sweet so I grabbed a keto chocolate hazelnut cup to stay on point.
9/6/22- 176.2 lbs Still keeping on track. Did my Elliptical for 181 minutes/13.2 miles today. It hasn't bit the dust yet. Some squeaking but only occasionally. After a appointment at 3, I went out comparing different ellipticals. I need to get a new one sooner than later before it totally dies on me.

9/7/22- 176.2 lbs

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"

Hijacked by a friend’s gift of 12 mini bars of chocolate yesterday evening. I only ate nine of them 😛! I am about a week behind where I need to be to achieve my end of month goal, so some drastic action required. I’m going to fast from breakfast this morning to breakfast tomorrow morning and then repeat in a few days time to try to get my average calories down. I am 3,600 calories ahead of my target so I’ll need four fasting days over the next three weeks to bring me into line.

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...).
