    I'm excited for to start with this group tomorrow.

    I was very active on MFP for a few years before the Pandemic, weight training at my local gym.
    But with my high risk husband and children, I had to quit the gym.
    While we did purchase a good amount of gym equipment in my basement, I seem to like to workout AWAY from my house.
    In my house, I have too many distractions:
    - I see the basement freezer and think about defrosting chicken for dinner
    - washing machine reminds me to do the next load of laundry
    - then the dog wants to go out, or join me
    - I should load and run the dishwasher, etc etc...

    So I switched to walking/hiking and eating all sorts of crap, so loss of muscle mass and pounding on the weight.

    I started on 9/6/2022 to de-bloat off 7# so far.
    Oh, I'm wicked short 4'11", so 5# on me means a different pant size.
    So now I'm back to my starting weight (back to January 2020).
    I started with:
    1. tiny Daily WO Challenge: glute bridges and tricep pushups
    2. tiny weight training WO, working on increasing the duration, variety, and weight amount



    Goals:
    1. regain muscle mass/do more weight training

    2. be able to do 1 pull-up again (maybe do 5 by end of December? I did 8 in 3/5/2019)

    3. Lose weight
    - lose 1.5#
    - lose 5.5# (cumulative)
    - lose 9.5# (lowest weight since puberty)
    - lose 11.5# by 1/1/2023

    4. No LNS - late night snacking, which is my biggest downfall

    5. Eat mostly 90% plant-base (similar to Forks Over Knives) for my cholesterol,
    so I'm not going to be going crazy with the amount of protein I take in.


    Tell me about your goals.

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol, some osteoporosis and coronary heart disease with a stent in my heart. I am working to get healthier. I know losing weight and exercising more will help all of these issues.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at xxxxx
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM May 31, 2021): xxxxx
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    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



    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.



    10/01-198.6-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- I’ll be weighing in on Sundays to help me control things on the weekend. I also travel less a few days prior and that may actually help. I like to weigh on the 1st and last day of every month as well as weekly. Wow! That means a lot of weigh-in’s for October. I will look at it as a lot of opportunities! I had a normal overall fluctuation which is not a true gain, but rather a lack of TMI. I have a goal of losing 5 pounds per month. It’s been a very very long time since I have been able to make goal, although the last five months in a row I have shown some sort of loss in my monthly challenges. I appreciate progress but I do need to step it up!

    10/02-199.0-(Trend Weight: 198.8)- Last night was full of cravings and hunger and the late-night snacks are embarrassing. Aiming for a much better day today. My trend weight is sticking and giving me the opportunity to turn this ship back around. I think I’ll take that opportunity! Feeling hopeful.

    Linda
    40 years old
    5'7"
    SW: 300
    CW: 230.6 – (it was 226 last week but my birthday weekend shenanigans added 4 lbs in 3 days. I'm sure that will go down quickly since celebrations are over)
    Previous Low: 295 (2020)

    I have PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes. Goal is to be at 220 lbs before year end. I want to lose about 2 lbs a month but still enjoy activities with my daughter through the holidays so moderation is key for the next 3 months. I weigh in on Saturdays but don't usually post in the forums during the weekend so I'll be posting the updates on Mondays.
