    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 Sept 30): 198.4
    Goal: 193.4 (Five lb Loss)
    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.


    10/01-198.6-(Trend Weight 198.8)- Hmmm….198.6 ……Well, that makes a better temperature than a weight, doesn’t it? Normal fluctuation this morning with no TMI. I went to a fundraiser dinner last night which was in pretty good alignment with my plan. I plan an excellent day today. Lots of in the house movement is expected – I’m babysitting the 4 yr old DGS. I have not made my 5 lb loss in this challenge for a very very long time. Going for it!!!!!

    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.

    10/03-199.2-(Trend Weight 198.8)- I ate up my DGS’s snacks. Not good. I’ll work harder today.

    I ended September at 95 lbs, but my weight jumped by October 1. Hoping to get to a pound below September's ending and to incorporate more exercise to my routine.

    October Start Weight: 99 lbs
    October Goal Weight: 94 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 89-94 lbs

    Oct 1- 99 lbs
    Oct 2- 96.5 lbs
    Oct 3- Didn't weigh. I went to My Chemical Romance's concert on Oct 2, came back quite late, had a sudden 3 am urge to draw some greeting card designs, and got 1.5 hours of sleep. Then I had a rushed morning trying to get to school on time. Maybe not the best life decisions.

    Hi there!
    My name is Ashley, I'm 35 years old, and in early 2021 I weighed 293 pounds.
    I have spent a good portion of this year in my maintenance range (160-165). However, after a big trip in September, I'm above it. Time to get back to under 165!

    October Start Weight: 172.2
    October Goal Weight: 165 or less

    October 1 - 172.2 (I ended September in a big fury of work related stress. Happy October 1! Looking forward to setting a positive tone for this month.)
    October 2 - 171.4 (Yesterday we biked over 40K in the mountains and today we are going to hike around 5K. The fall weather in Alberta is gorgeous right now.)
    October 3 - 171.4 (Worked from home, walked my dog at lunch, rode the Peloton after work, and then ate salad for supper. Good day.)

    I’m glad to have this inspiring group of people to share this journey with!

    My October goals are the same as my September goals because those didn’t get met at all. September went sideways on me. I would like to get more movement in, especially on work days and more self care, 3 out of 7 days per week.

    OSW: 250 lbs
    UGW: 150 ish
    December 2022 GW: Onederland
    CW: 207.4 lb
    10/31 GW: 203 lb

    10/1: 207.4
    10/2: 209.4
    Yikes!
    10/3: 205.8
    I weighed myself 3 times. The body is a weird thing.
    10/4: 205.3
    Trying to catch up from all of last month’s drama. I could sleep for three days and still be tired!

    October
    Initial Starting Weight: 225.2
    October Starting Weight: 205.5
    October Goal Weight: 200.6
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 180.0

    Me again, I 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.

    OCTOBER GOALS (DAILY):
    ⚖️ Weigh in
    👟 Walk 5,500+ steps (Starting September 15th- nice to add something to the daily goal)
    1-205.5 Welcome October! Bought dance tickets for the 27th of October, so I will be looking for a costume for the first time in a couple of years, and I would like to meet my Oct goal by then.
    2-204.8 👟 1.1 km

    Ok. Actually remembering to check in.👍
    47f, 5'5".
    ~ ugw: 137 cw:170(?) No idea actually
    Month goal: 165.
    ~today first weigh in since Aug. 170.8!
    Only weighing in every 4 days (for sanity). Infinitely better than I expected!
    ~1.6 mile walk today. ✅
    ~tracking all food ✅
    ~Mini exercise happening after this post and finishing my homemade pho. Couldn't figure out how to track it, so chose the best guess in the app.
    ~slept 8 hours in a row last night! First time in ages!!! ✅

    Does anyone here use the Garmin App? I've joined a couple of challenges on there for Rock'tober which I'm so excited about... Steps, Running (sl'ogging on my part), and something else.

    Also started using the Evidation app. It's a tracking system that gives you points for healthy choices that eventually add up to micro amounts of cash or a donation to a charity, which is pretty awesome.

    See you all tmrw! 🍀

I brought home no junk food even though I was in a city with so many stores! Nothing, Nada. Not even snacks or treats for my grandchildren.

    So far this months goals have not been being met unless you count an hour nap on Sunday as self care. I guess it is because I needed it for my “self.” I’m actually not sure how to meet these goals. They are harder to do than expected.

    6-204.2 I slipped a little yesterday, skipping that tiny treadmill 1km and being sloppy with my eating, and didn't log my food. It is probably good that there is a bit of a gain to snap me back in line, even if it is maybe just a natural fluctuation lol
