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"

Very stressed last three days and blew my calorie intake quite significantly due to comfort eating. I have to accept that it’s going to take a little longer than I planned to achieve my goal. I cannot deprive myself of food in order to achieve my goal - anything less than 1,200 calories just isn’t healthy.5 -
SEPTEMBER
Initial Starting Weight: 225.2
September Starting Weight: 210.6
September Goal Weight: 205.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 180.0
I am late to the game, but weigh every day due to heart failure and fluid issues. I am finally making a daily weight check part of my morning routine (It had been doctors advice for a couple of years now but I just could not get in the routine of it)
For reference, I am 55f, 5'11" tall, and August 1st got back to a low carb menu in my house after losing a bunch and gaining it back 2 years ago.
SEPTEMBER GOALS (DAILY):
⚖️ Weigh in
👟 Walk 5,500+ steps (Starting September 15th- nice to add something to the daily goal)

September 23:206.4 The fact that I checked in at all after seeing this is a win. Mid week bloat from too much salt I suspect. My heart failure can give my weight a swing of sometimes 3-8 pounds in a week. Laying off the salt and staying on track for the weekend. (Hurricane Fiona headed for us but we are outside the cone)

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

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.
9/4: 213.1
9/5: 212.6 Hello!
9/6: 214.9 Yowch! In some serious pain, helping my parents pack and move all weekend has finally caught up with me. I am not in my 20s anymore!
9/7: 213.9 Ups and downs
9/8: 213.4 Bad sleep last night, lots of stress, feel like I will never get away from 213!
9/9: DNW When I remembered the day was already half over. I’m really struggling with stress and my health has taken a back burner. I don’t like this
9/10: 214.9 Lots of stress and had to eat out yesterday which I never do and that’s a lot of sodium. Hopefully some yoga this weekend.
9/11: 213.1
I got some yoga in yesterday which was nice, more for stress relief and stretching than calorie burn. I have some other self care planned today.
I’m in the US so am remembering all we lost so tragically 21 years ago.
9/12: 212.1 A little frustrating as I’ve only lost 1 pound this month and that’s not the rate I’ve been losing at for the past 5 months. However, I had some really stressful days this month and wasn’t able to be as active and I think stress causes me to retain water. I’m hoping for an easier October!
9/13: 210.7.
Last nights sleep debacle makes sense now, I was up so many times to relieve myself and it’s showing on the scale. I’m hoping my body is letting go of some (or all) of its stress while letting go of it’s water.

My older girlfriend will travel with me and I will take her shopping while out of town. I am so glad to see I am staying in Onederland, even in spite of everything. Very motivating! I ended up having an echocardiogram (ultra sound of heart) yesterday. I had it all mixed up (thought it was just an EKG) so there will likely be more answers coming. Also had the leg dopplers. I await results.
09/23-199.8-(Trend Weight 198.7)- Hanging on by a thread. No travel today after all. Maybe Home Depot will have my order ready by tomorrow. Danced 4 songs yesterday (carefully) and rode the exercise bike for a bit. Meals were good but I ate an extra one last night with extreme hunger. It showed up. It’s such a tattle-tale.

Another difficult day yesterday. Consumed a lot of carbs. It appears I’ve put on a kilo in four days. Just praying that its due to carb intake and that I’ll lose it over next few days. Otherwise net loss for month is only 0.2kg ☹️.3 -

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.)
Sep 8 - 167 (Up and on the road again this afternoon. Almost in Vancouver. Tonight is the Bills home opener so we are going to go out to watch the game.)
Sep 9 - 168.6 (We watched the Bills win and then went out for supper to an Italian restaurant. I track on holiday so the weight going up is expected based on the overconsumption. Unfortunately yesterday was a day of low movement as well.)
Sep 10 - 171.4 (Started the day with a 60 minute Peloton app ride on the gym bike. Then I drove from Vancouver to Whistler in insanely bad traffic to cheer my husband on as he completed his second Gran Fondo of the season. We had an absolutely delicious meal out. The restaurant food has been very indulgent this trip.)
Sep 11 - DNW (ATV trip today. Enjoying coffee on our patio before we go.)
Sep 12 - DNW (Today we leave Whistler and head towards Victoria for a funeral tomorrow. We will see what activities we get up to on the way.)
Sep 13 - 172.6 (In Victoria, BC where I have not been in well over 15 years. Leaving shortly for the celebration of life.)
Sep 14 - 171.4
Sep 15 - 170.4
Sep 16 - 170.8 (We are driving East now with our final stop of the vacation planned for Penticton, BC before we head home Sunday.)
Sep 17 - 172.4
Sep 18 - 174.4 (We are driving home today and back to work tomorrow. We live in a beautiful country. Our vacation was full of many lovely memories.)
Sep 19 - 173.6 (Back to work and back to routine. Husband is on a business trip. I will get on the Peloton after the football game.)
Sep 20 - 172.6 (Had to work through my lunch break but I got on the Peloton tonight and took my dog for a short walk too so my exercise turned out fine. Food is under too.)
Sep 21 - 172.4 (Today I donated blood on my lunch break so I've been taking it easy otherwise. Work was busy and after work I got my stuff done as quickly as I could around home so I can just enjoy my husband's company when he gets home from his business trip.)
Sep 22 - 170.4
Sep 23 - 168.4
Sep 24 - 169.4 (Got through my crazy stressful work week. Definitely overate Thursday and Friday nights. Last weekend at the lake for the season.)4 -

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
9/8/22- 176.2 lbs :-( Was hoping for some movement. Stayed on plan, no cheating.
9/9/22- 174.6 lbs :-) Finally!!! Downward movement helps me stay motivated & on track. Off today, did 181 minutes for 12.5 miles on my Elliptical.
9/10/22- 173.6 lbs :-) Yes! 195 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.45 miles.
9/11/22- 173.6 lbs :-| 185 minutes on my elliptical for 12.76 miles.
9/12/22- 173.6 lbs :-|
9/13/22- 174.2 lbs:( Didnt get into my driveway from work till 9:02 PM from 6:15 AM. Ate some cashews that I keep in my car for my dinner on the drive home. Came into the house, showered and went to bed. No time to post.
9/14/22- 173 lbs :-)
9/15/22- 171.2 lbs :-) Best motivator ever to stay on point!!!! Off today and tomorrow but have to babysit both days, so I need to be careful without doing my elliptical workouts as my norm.
9/16/22- 173.2 lbs :-(

9/22/22- 180.2 lbs :-)
9/23/22- 181.6 lbs :-(
9/24/22- 184 lbs :-( I've fallen off again as you can see. Elliptical today, (my screechy one) 180 minutes for 12.01 miles.
Yesterday no elliptical but I did go shopping for a new one. Christian's Fitness Factory in Lancaster, PA, that buys, re-furbishes and re-sells, gently used, gym quality equipment, just off lease &/or gym closures, and ships all over the country. I bought a Precor EFX 835 Cross trainer with converging ramp. Over the next 5 days they will go over the whole machine, take it apart and lube, tighten and replace anything not up to PreCore standards and I will get it after that. (So probably about 2 weeks with my work schedule.) And for about 25-30% of a brand new one. This commercial one will hold up to my hours on a elliptical. And a workout, with using the ramp, I may have to do shorter times anyway. The guys that came to look at my old elliptical have worked with this store and will do the pickup, delivery and setup in my basement and get rid of my old one for me.4 -
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"

Passing out on Tuesday really spooked me out and led me to believe that I haven’t been eating enough. But I’m not sure that’s the case. Truth is I’ve probably been over extending myself. That’s pushed me to eat more calories this week and put weight on, breaking my trend. I’ve added an additional 2,830 calories above my target, or 1,330 above maintenance, so that should equate to a net gain of around 0.25kg.4 -
SEPTEMBER
Initial Starting Weight: 225.2
September Starting Weight: 210.6
September Goal Weight: 205.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 180.0
I am late to the game, but weigh every day due to heart failure and fluid issues. I am finally making a daily weight check part of my morning routine (It had been doctors advice for a couple of years now but I just could not get in the routine of it)
For reference, I am 55f, 5'11" tall, and August 1st got back to a low carb menu in my house after losing a bunch and gaining it back 2 years ago.
SEPTEMBER GOALS (DAILY):
⚖️ Weigh in
👟 Walk 5,500+ steps (Starting September 15th- nice to add something to the daily goal)
DAILY LOG:
September 1:210.6

September 19:205.2
September 20:205.2
September 21:204.2
September 22:205.6 Trust the process trust the process trust the process lol
September 23:206.4 The fact that I checked in at all after seeing this is a win. Mid week bloat from too much salt I suspect. My heart failure can give my weight a swing of sometimes 3-8 pounds in a week. Laying off the salt and staying on track for the weekend. (Hurricane Fiona headed for us but we are outside the cone)
September 24:207 No fancy bold text for my gain today because hurricane Fiona has left us without power. I'll come back from this
September 25:208.2 I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday. I suspect it is fluid because my breathing is affected and I have not significantly changed my eating from when I was posting losses. I still have five days to end September at 205.6. Hopefully laying off the salt and less stress will be enough.

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.
9/4: 213.1
9/5: 212.6 Hello!
9/6: 214.9 Yowch! In some serious pain, helping my parents pack and move all weekend has finally caught up with me. I am not in my 20s anymore!
9/7: 213.9 Ups and downs
9/8: 213.4 Bad sleep last night, lots of stress, feel like I will never get away from 213!
9/9: DNW When I remembered the day was already half over. I’m really struggling with stress and my health has taken a back burner. I don’t like this
9/10: 214.9 Lots of stress and had to eat out yesterday which I never do and that’s a lot of sodium. Hopefully some yoga this weekend.
9/11: 213.1
I got some yoga in yesterday which was nice, more for stress relief and stretching than calorie burn. I have some other self care planned today.
I’m in the US so am remembering all we lost so tragically 21 years ago.
9/12: 212.1 A little frustrating as I’ve only lost 1 pound this month and that’s not the rate I’ve been losing at for the past 5 months. However, I had some really stressful days this month and wasn’t able to be as active and I think stress causes me to retain water. I’m hoping for an easier October!
9/13: 210.7.
Last nights sleep debacle makes sense now, I was up so many times to relieve myself and it’s showing on the scale. I’m hoping my body is letting go of some (or all) of its stress while letting go of it’s water.
9/14: 210.7
9/15: 210.7
9/16: 211.2

9/24: 207.3
Planning tomorrow to be self care Sunday, hoping to unplug. Raining here today, hopefully walkable weather tomorrow.
9/25: 208.4
