    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.

    09/10-200.0-(Trend Weight 198.6)- Yikes, I guess it’s back to the drawing board! Hopefully all this travel and outside meals this week will AT LEAST keep up the metabolism! Today will be a very thoughtful and lean day! Doctor report from surgeon was very good. I still can’t breathe but they are banking on it being a lung issue, not the stent. The lung testing is in October. However, they did schedule another EKG to check blood flow for Sept 21st when I’m getting dopplers on legs. That should confirm that the stent is not struggling.

    09/11-200.4-(Trend Weight 198.7)- Wrong direction. I just couldn’t get full last night.

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn, I will be 62 in a few weeks.
    I joined MFP in October of 2018. I have lost weight for sure, but still have another 20-ish pounds to shed. It is slow going and sometimes very frustrating. I lost weight before, quit tracking every bite and gained 50 pounds, so I have pledged to myself to keep this tracking up forever. MFP makes that extremely easy.
    As my moniker would suggest, at this stage of my life it is all about getting healthy so that I can be active throughout my 60s and hopefully 70s. This means to me achieving a healthy body weight so that my organs and stuff are not overworked.

    I think most of us have been up and down and all around. Key here is to rock it at any and every weight : - )


    Thursday September 1st: 138.2 (I am using my endweight from August). This month will see me in Mexico, where I absolutely love the foods, especially the breakfasts. My usually eating style will turn upside down. I am going to pack my scale with me to keep me from exploding : - )
    Friday September 2nd - 139.8 - Ugh. I was at 1200 calories with lots of calorie burn, so am just going to take this in stride as some weird sort of fluctuation.
    Saturday September 3rd - 140.1 - I had 4 wings last night (300 calories, but likely full of salt) after working a split with my other job in between. I had a whopping 22,218 steps on my pedometre at the end of the night! That worked out to a 917 calorie burn at my current weight. I had a workout in the morning before work also. Hating seeing the 140s yet again, but I dreamt of hitting 140, and achieved that in 2020 so trying to keep it in perspective, as opposed to knowing that 2 years of very hard work have seen me right back there again whilst hitting 130.6 in 2021. Not giving up, well maybe a little bit while in Mexico : - )
    Sunday September 4th - 140.9
    Monday September 5th - 141.8 - Egads
    Tuesday September 6th - 139.9 - Ate exactly the same things and had the same activities as the last 2 days. Hmm.
    Wednesday September 7th - 138.6 - Really no rhyme or reason, but I will take any loss that I can get. I would love to be 136 or less to begin my travels next week!
    Thursday September 8th - 138.1 - I so seldom eat Pasta, but I had cooked some up and portioned it. I have been having it with fresh garlic from my garden, my own oregano, turkey meatballs (the frozen kind) and 2 tbsp of sour cream. So different than the hunk of meat with veggies that I normally eat. Like, should I be eating white processed pasta more often? I am somehow losing weight. The last portion of that will be tonight, we'll see the tale of the tape in the morning weigh in.
    Friday September 9th - 138.5 - Well, it really was nice to be seemingly continually losing. I guess that I have leveled out. I was stuck at around 131 for a long time, if I am going to be stuck around 138 so be it. There are several pieces of clothing that fit me on my last birthday that I won't even be taking with me on my trip this year, too tight.
    Saturday September 10th - 139.5 - Late dinner, and wings at that.
    Sunday September 11th - 139.2 -

    Start weight for the month: 138.2

    Hello!

    I just transferred to a new university 3 weeks ago, had an incident where I had to miss a week of class, and worked nonstop for a week to catch up. As it was, I didn't make any time to eat, sleep, or track. Now that things have calmed down a little (in time for midterms!), I am trying to get back on track for the fiftieth time.

    I got sick a couple weeks before class started and lost about 9 lbs in a week, but I am actually glad I was able to gain 3 lbs back by today. I'm a little farther away from the goal than before, but I am happier to lose weight at a more safe rate now.

    Sep 9- 98 lbs
    Sep 10- Didn't weigh today
    Sep 11- 97 lbs Maybe I didn't actually gain back 3 lbs? I recently ate and I'm rounding up, which probably makes my actual weight more like 96.5 lbs. It's hard for me to tell if I actually gained any weight, I suppose.

    Hi all.

    My name is Amy and I'm 44, really struggling with runaway weight gain. In 2013 I lost 50 lbs using MFP and running, but the past couple of years have really taken their toll, and I now have 70 lbs to lose. Having a place to check in every day will be very helpful, so here I am :) I've just started working out three times a week at a gym, will be working with a personal trainer once a week, and now I really need to dial in my food and drink. Looking forward to all the little victories along the way, and seeing you all succeed as well.

    Start weight (2022-09-12): 205 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

I’ve got to stop throwing all caution to the wind and then expecting doctors and nurses to fix it for me. No sleep last night (3 hours). I’m just so glad there was not a gain. Thank you Sweet Jesus!

    09/13-195.8-(Trend Weight 198.8)- A day off of travel allowed me to take the water pill. Wow! What a drop! I was also extremely careful with my diet. A stellar day! Nice way to end a challenge but it will be even more challenging starting next round with this number and still make progress. We all know the food holidays are on the horizon. I’ve got to keep diligent in order to venture into those ahead of the game. This was a great round for so many. Thank you all for sharing your journey, your ideas and your progress with me.

    Hello!

    I just transferred to a new university 3 weeks ago, had an incident where I had to miss a week of class, and worked nonstop for a week to catch up. As it was, I didn't make any time to eat, sleep, or track. Now that things have calmed down a little (in time for midterms!), I am trying to get back on track for the fiftieth time.

    I got sick a couple weeks before class started and lost about 9 lbs in a week, but I am actually glad I was able to gain 3 lbs back by today. I'm a little farther away from the goal than before, but I am happier to lose weight at a more safe rate now.

    Sep 9- 98 lbs
    Sep 10- Didn't weigh today
    Sep 11- 97 lbs Maybe I didn't actually gain back 3 lbs? I recently ate and I'm rounding up, which probably makes my actual weight more like 96.5 lbs. It's hard for me to tell if I actually gained any weight, I suppose.
    Sep 12- Didn't weigh today. I also didn't eat the greatest today; I had way too much sodium. That'll definitely show on the scale tomorrow.
    Sep 13- 97 lbs I should have drunk more water yesterday.
