    I did not expect to lose this much weight so fast. It's only been 3 weeks since I joined but I think it's due to cutting gluten out of my diet? I've been sick for the last 2 years and on Sept 8th after my weigh-in, I also decided to experiment and cut it out for a month and see what happens. Since then, no significant bloating, burning intestines, and clear-headed among other positive changes. I'm in the process of getting bloodwork done to test for gluten intolerance/celiac.. but 5 lbs a week seems a bit too fast?

    It could be the gluten that is the cause of all your issues. I've never tested for an intolerance but when I cut it out I feel good. Then when I add it back it I get the body aches. So now I try to eat as little as possible. I'd say if it eliminates the bloating, burning and you feel more clear headed....cut it out. JMO.

    I had a big 5 lb. drop last week but some it came back this week. You might find the same for you next week. It seems to even itself out.

    You have to be eating gluten for the bloodwork to show anything.

    I have a wheat allergy (not celiac) and I do think it helps when I am not eating it.

    Total loss for September Down a bit more than a half pound for the week, but up a full pound for the month. In other good news, I'm just a wee bit down for the quarter (since July 1). Bad news is that since mid-May, I'm up almost eight pounds. Oh my.

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Start Weight (from Aug 31, 2022 ):200.0
    Goal Weight: (5 pound loss) 195.0

    End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    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)-

    09/06-196.8-(Trend Weight: 198.9)- I just noticed that from (basically) the start of last fall 2021 to the end of the Michigan winter in 2022, I gained 12 pounds! I CANNOT let that happen again! In fact, I am STILL NOT BACK DOWN to where I was on Sept 19 which was 187.6 . 10 more pounds to lose just to break even. How sad. On a good note, I am starting to feel my hip bones poking out. They are still in there afterall.

    09/13-195.8-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- I managed to pull off an overall loss this week with a big overnight drop. I had plenty of travel this past week and that made the week extremely challenging. I’m really trying and some days are just much easier than others. I can stay away from the restaurants most of the time when I’m at home. But when I’m on the road……….

    09/20-199.0-(Trend Weight: 198.6)- Bloated with water around the ankles this morning which brought in a higher weight. Today is water pill day (for the heart) so it should help the scale be more accurate tomorrow. It’s so hard to gauge when there are heart problems involved. Frustrating, but it’s not stopping me!

    09/27-198.4-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- It’s been an up and down week, but I ended our challenge week with about ½ pound loss. I’ll take it! But I must say, the progress needs to be much deeper. This teetering back and forth is getting me nowhere. I need to see something under 195.0 to feel like I’m back on the road again and getting somewhere.

    09/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    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

    Female, 5’7”
    HW: 181 pounds (Dec 30, 2019)
    September Start Weight: 133.2 pounds
    September Goal Weight: 130 pounds
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-135 pounds

    Total weight loss/gain to date this month: - 2.0 pounds
    I'm being slightly aggressive in my September goal weight because I want to be at the low-end of my maintenance range before going on vacation in October. Not because I'm trying to fit in to anything, but I want to have a good solid buffer for all that travel time (less workout) and eating out (difficult to track).

    I don't think I'll make my goal by tomorrow. I am eating out at lunch and have a second social gathering after dinner. I've scanned the menus, but even the low cal stuff is still on the higher side for me.
