Hello November!
Age: 56
I would like to lose 50 pounds and I'm giving myself a year (actually 14 months) to do this.
In the past I have set my goals too high too fast too strict and have inevitably failed to stay on track long term. This time I am taking a more gentle, gradual approach. I am adjusting daily calories up from before, giving myself more time to accomplish goals and changing eating habits. I will take my time getting back into exercise instead of aggressive plans I can't keep. I think if I break things up weekly by checking in on Sundays it may be easier to accomplish small goals that will hopefully add up to bigger goals.
So my goals for this week are to walk for 30 minutes outside for 5 days.
(this is totally doable! it's still lovely fall weather here!)
To avoid alcohol and sugary treats this week.
(only challenge here will be to account for one celebratory meal out this Sunday at a friend's house.)
Take a progress picture once a week on Sunday for one whole year
(Hopefully this will be encouraging)
To weigh in on Sunday mornings.
This month I would like to think about evening activities for the winter months that do not include too much screen time. I would like to come up with one creative hobby, one hobby to learn something new, and one hobby to engage in a new physical activity.
Here we go! See you on Sunday

@holdthefries Sounds like a great plan! Small changes really add up over time.3

Hi, my name is Cindy.
I had success on this app in September 2017. I stuck with it until year end of that year and lost 20-30 pounds. I did not like the process of logging food yet knew it worked. My starting weight at that time was 237 pounds.
Fast forward to 2022 my habits had not successfully changed. Just after my 54 birthday in September, I weighed in at 243.8 pounds, my heaviest weight. I had tried getting back on this app during the summer of this year yet lacked the desire to want to log my food. When I saw that number on 9/12/22 I decided to give logging and calorie counting a chance again.
On Monday I will have completed 8 weeks and am currently down 13 pounds. My goal weight is between 140-150 pounds. A healthy BMI for me is 180 pounds.
I am not giving myself goals weekly as my main focus is to cap at 1500 calories a day and no more than 1750, which is my BMR (basal metabolic rate).
Initially I was adjusting my calorie limit weekly to see how I felt and what progress I achieved. I lost continually consuming 1450-1600 average a week.
I have not resumed regular exercise at this point as I am a nanny eight hours a day and take care of my family’s needs when I come home and am often tired.
I am 5’10” tall.
I am a wife of 29 years and have three adult sons.

@FLMOM22 Hello, Cindy! Glad you've joined us! It sounds like you've got a good framework for success. Welcome!

Guys, I'm just out of the hospital - COVID and Guillain Barré.
I think I let down my guard too soon when I traveled these last few months.
I've recently learned that your health is everything - cherish and guard it !
It'll be a long road back to full function for me, but I am just so incredibly grateful for surviving this
ordeal that I'll try to be patient and work hard each day.
I spent two weeks in the ICU, barely ate, and only lost three pounds due to the supplemental
nutrition. So back at home, it's time to make every calorie count -- for my health and recovery.
Now that I've been given another chance in life, I'm more determined than ever to reach a healthy weight.
For me, that's no more than 150 pounds, so that's now my goal.
You all helped me make that flight weight for the float plane in Alaska to see the bears, for dancing at my daughter's wedding, and for that celebrity shindig -- Thank you!
I'll keep counting on your honest messages here, sharing both your triumphs and your frustrations, to
help me during my recovery and along my path to celebrating this life we're given -- by giving my body the best chance for health.
Take good care of yourself, everyone -- you're so worth it ❣️

Cindy, that is terrific progress! I have found that I cycle through a lot of the same types of foods, so tracking gets faster and easier over time. I also recently learned that every pound of weight exerts FOUR pounds of pressure on the knees and spine. By losing 13 pounds, you have reduced the force on those bones by FIFTY-TWO POUNDS!!! Yay you!!

Yesterday definitely brought its challenges. This past week as a whole. I’ve got to learn to be patient with the process. I did not get to this weight overnight and have not had any real set backs this far. However, yesterday my eating was out of control. There are several factors currently going on in our lives and I stress/comfort ate. I had been avoiding certain foods these past week as I struggle with over consumption on certain foods. Because I am physically and emotionally tired I believe I was looking for a fuel source today. Trying not to defeat myself in my thoughts. It’s 1 am here in Florida and I’m not asleep yet. One of the things I do on my diary is if I overeat and don’t know how many calories I ate I log that food and what I was thinking/feeling in my food notes. At least I am being honest with myself that I had some trouble that day and I can see the food I sought for comfort or energy. Thanks for reading.3

Good morning, everyone!
175.0 today, which I still can't quite wrap my head around. I'm firmly in the 170's. It's a little surreal, even though I've been here for a while. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up in the 180s again.
This week has been busy, what with Halloween (the kids had a great time, I didn't eat too much candy), appointments, the gym, we had a cleaning service come (! it was amazing, to have people clean my house for me, an absolute privilege, joy, and a treat to have that time back), and I'm working on reducing the clutter in my house/setting up systems where the clutter doesn't get bad in the first place, since having a clean house brings me this much delight.
Goals for this month. I feel... pretty good about where I'm at, diet-wise. My high calorie days are only 1800-2000, which is not enough to slow my progress, as long as it's not every day, and my rate of loss is slow but steady with my normal days between 1400-1600 cal.
I'm back in the gym after the whole family got sick a few weeks ago, and it really makes a difference for my mood when I make a commitment to be there.
So anyway. I was very bloated on the first day of this month, so it looks like I've lost almost three pounds since then. It was just bloat, lol. But I have made progress. So given that I'm 175 right now, I feel comfortable setting a goal of 173 for the end of this month, and we'll see where I land. That would put me in the overweight instead of obese category, which would be incredible. I won't be heartbroken if I don't make it, as long as I don't end this month higher than I started, but we're going to try.

🍁 November Goals! 🍁
🍂 November GW: 173
🤎Log everything in grams ✅
🤎Do at least three pole classes a week ✅
🤎More than 100g protein every day
🤎No doomscrolling after 7PM each night ✅
🤎At least 64oz of water a day ✅
Tag party time! Geez, lots of tags to catch up on.
@RavenStCloud Tricks for putting myself first- hm. I used to struggle with this, but I would always feel kind of resentment toward my family when they were relaxing while I was working hard, so when I feel that coming on, I stop everything and go sit down and do something for myself, tell my partner what I'm stressed about, and he'll either help right then or make a plan to help later, and that usually works for me. Unless something *must* be done, there's no point in stressing yourself or feeling bad about things that don't *have* to be done. My house is not always perfectly clean this way (lol, one reason I hired a service, lol), but I am a much happier person. And if we had family around, I would reach out for help for childcare or just to hang out while I cleaned instead. Help is great, it really does take a village, and this day and age, we don't have enough community support for everyone.
I love your chart! It's so pretty, I hope you've got some digital stickers or fun emojis to fill it! I'm participating in NaNo as well, although I only ever get motivated to write on my trash novel around ovulation time, so I'm riding that wave, lol.
@pamperedlinny your daughter's costume is so cute and I'm OBSESSED with her lip gloss. I love hearing about your various get-togethers, neighborhood book club sounds so fun.
lol your muffin story. Been there! And I hear you about when I sit and don't get movement for too long, I start to feel bad physically and mentally.
RE:Aldi: I loved the transylvanian cave cheddar! I think I've still got some, actually...
Good for you, trading mental demons for dumbbells! I love that, again, community stepped in to cheer you on.
I totally get you on having favorite instructors. I sure do, for my gym, and luckily it's set up where I can sign up just for their classes, lol.
@Mom2Cubs welcome! ten pounds by the end of the year around this time of year is lofty, but you very well might make it! Just remember that progress is progress, even if it's slower than expected!
I would say, just for fairness, that depending on your workout when you go to the gym, you might benefit from rest days. If you're doing cardio or walking, it's not as important, but if you're doing resistance training, rest is important for muscle repair. But you've got this!
@sandielewis2001 you've been doing such a great job at maintenance, I've loved reading what you share about it, gives me a lot of hope for maintenance time myself.
Wine tasting! Taste some for me, lol. I had a lovely italian pilsner last night.
@KacyCarpe I love this: Overriding Question: Will this choice help me become the person I want to become? it's a great stop-the-train-let's-think question.
@delillolauren welcome! I hear a lot of negative talk in your post "drag yourself to the meeting... chicken out..." I just want you to know that these past few years have been hard, and you should remember to give yourself some grace, too. We're all doing what we can given a much-less-than-ideal situation. I look forward to hearing more, and that you went to the interview!
@vbeez 30 miles! it's a lot, but doable, and it's beautiful weather for a run, where I am. Welcome! I love getting that music pumping and pounding the pavement, as I liked to say.
@holdthefries I love your talk of hobbies! It's so important to stay busy to prevent mindless snacking, for me. I love to knit, crochet, read, play video games, all kinds of things, and if I'm not feeling one thing, I can move to the next, so important.
@FLMOM22 welcome Cindy! I know you can do this, as you have before, so welcome to the best thread on the site!
I totally get eating your feelings, and I love that you log it with the feelings you were feeling at the time. You talk about how tired you are- is there anything you can do to give yourself a little room? You say you're married, can your partner help out with anything at home that might be stressing you out? I tend to be very open with my partner about my struggles, so when I say that "there's a lot of candy around and I'm stressed out, I need x to be clean," he'll get the girls and start doing it while I'm making dinner or something. That kind of thing?
@tahitig I'm so sorry to hear about all that, oh my gosh, that must have been so scary. I'm so glad you're still here with us, and that you're motivated to make the most of your one precious life after that. You've always got a community and a cheerleading squad here. Health is important, and remember that sometimes for recovery from illness, you might need to eat a little more, toward maintenance.
Whew! Caught up! Have a great, beautiful, wonderful day, everyone. As @tahitig said, let's celebrate the life we're given- just not always with food, lol.

Congrats on your success to date! I like that you have the calorie range like I do. Knowing your upper limits so as not to get out of control continually and your sweet spot where you try to target for daily calories.
As far as my husband and asking for help, I’m grateful for your insight. It spurred a conversation between he and I that went quite well. That will help going forward.
I chose to weigh today as it has been an up/down week for me on the scale and remaining consistent in calories without overindulgence. I gained .9 in two days. My regular weigh in day is Monday so we will see at that point how my week went as a whole. Checking the scale has helped me refocus this week to monitor my choices results on my overall plan to be fit and healthier as well as identifying my why’s to my food choices this week.
Thanks to all of you for being such great encouragers!0 -
Hello to everyone! I know it’s been a looooong time since I’ve posted but I’ve had my struggles. In September of 2020 I was injured in a hit and run accident that left me with a spinal cord injury and paraplegic. I battled with my depression by eating and gaining back the 125 lbs I’d lost before the accident. The good news is I’m progressing. I’ve moved into my own place. I’m progressing with walking so I’m not exactly confined to my wheelchair. I unfortunately am borderline diabetic so I HAVE to lose weight to continue my progress. This group was so supportive and instrumental to my success before so I had to come back to you guys again. I was prescribed Ozempic to help with weight loss. I’m battling with exhaustion but hopefully that will go away soon.

🍁We've still got time to make a dent in our goals and to continue working hard. What do you hope to accomplish this month or before the year is out? I want to re-establish a good routine making meals at home and exercising with working full-time.
🍁What are some tips and tricks you have for staying motivated and remembering to put yourself first?
I think it is establishing healthy habits that work over motivation. Take one habit at a time that is achievable. That helps motivate you and gives you confidence.
🍂 NOVEMBER GOALS!
🍁 Log daily on MFP and track on my spreadsheet - I am struggling with this after starting back to work
🍁 Aquafit 3 days a week and walk between - We are going to Aquafit but need to work on walking more.
🍁Plan and cook healthy meals at home - I am struggling with this too. My youngest and husband need to chip in more now that I am working fulltime.
🍁 Eat at a sensible deficit - Once I get back to logging this should improve.
🍁 Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep – I am getting up earlier to get to work and going early to the Y 3 days a week. Saturday is my only sleep in day.
I was doing well last month not gaining despite having less time for myself until last week and Halloween. I really have lowered my sugar intake but I have not eliminated sugar from my diet. I used to love Halloween but I am not sure it is the candy that is the problem. It is the extra busy-ness.
Last Sunday we went to Aquafit in the morning and then my youngest asked me to go to the pumpkin bash at the zoo since her date was sick. I did it. I walked a lot and was very sore most of the week. I hadn’t been walking as much so I was surprised I was able to walk as far as I did.
However last week was quite busy. We had a Halloween Lunch at work.
I am working on each of us making a meal or 2 so we eat at home. However my youngest got a job offer (Yay!) so they will be going through some transitioning as well in a while. I am too busy on Monday and Tuesday when I commute to work.
Anyway I am looking forward to getting back into a healthy routine or establishing one. I am not logging now. I am concentrating on exercise, meals at home, and getting enough sleep. I bought a new water bottle that is easier to take around with me. Once I get these things accomplished I'll concentrate on logging more. I weigh everyday.
@tahitig I am so sorry that you were so sick. I am glad you are better. I think I like your perspective now too. We are doing this for our health. Make sure you lose healthily.
@pamiede I am so glad to hear you are progressing. I have faith in you. You have been such an inspiration. Take care.
I read everyone’s posts.

Sounds like you have a workable plan in place.
Are crockpot meals an option for your family on the long days?
I know returning to work changes family dynamics as this has happened in our family in the past few years as well. Responsibilities being more dispersed among the family members.
Best wishes as you take these steps toward a healthier you 🎼

Hi again all. Hope you're all well. I've been walking as my exercise lately with my friend and her dog but I'm moving house early December so I'll have to find new routes on my own or do laps in my new garden! 😁5

Hey all!
I rarely check in over the weekends but I'm trying to get better about hitting the community boards on days other than just Monday thru Friday. Last night I went over to a friend's house for "Wine & Whine" complete with a quickly tossed together charcuterie plate. Sometimes letting the calories slide just to vent about things going on in life and to be a sounding board for someone else without any judgements and just offering advice if it's asked for... otherwise just being an ear.... is just as important for our mental health as eating well and exercise is for our physical health.
I weighed in this morning but didn't log it in since it's up about 2 lbs. Since I was out with friends Friday night and then had the wine & whine last night that's to be expected. I'll work on getting it back down again the rest of the week.
Tag Party!!!
@holdthefries It sounds like you’re doing everything right. Plenty of time, progress photos, etc. I really should have started doing photos in the beginning. I keep thinking that would have been really rewarding to see the physical differences that way.
@FLMOM22 I love that you log how you were feeling when you overate. That’s an excellent plan.
@tahitig I’m so sorry you’ve been sick!!! I hope you feel 100% soon.
@CupcakeCrusoe I was wondering where you’ve been. You were quiet so far this month. Congrats on being firmly in the 170s!!!!!
@pamiede That’s a lot to overcome. It’s amazing you are walking and not confined. I know that had to have been hard work.
@KeriA Congrats on your youngest getting the job offer!

Sunday Week One
So I decided to look at each month with a set of fun objectives that utilizes three areas
one mind, one body and one heart
So for November this is my plan
For mind
I thought it would be fun to embrace one creative and one more cerebral task
For creative this month I have signed up for a 5 week beginners pottery course to do something new to me one night a week
For intellectual exploration I decided to pick two totally random subjects and look into them and read as much as I wanted to about them. I used Longreads to help me find the subjects this month and came up with Eminem and Honeybees! I could watch a doc, read a book, find articles or movies related to these subjects.
For heart
I decided this month to connect with a friend I haven't seen in a while and check in, spend some time and strengthen our friendship if i can. I'd like to focus on being a better friend to this person.
For Body
I decided to take baby steps towards focusing on one new exercise area each month. I'm not ready to join a gym. I hate running and I am very out of shape so I found a 30 day arm challenge on you tube that i can do for free 4 or 5 times a week. I dusted off my small weights and I can do this challenge for 30 days. I'll switch it up each month and see which activities I most enjoy.
I also picked one part of my body to take care of better this month. This month I chose nails. Maybe I will treat myself to a mani pedi. Maybe I will think about food and vitamins that will strenthen my nails and keep them healthy. It will be a small treat and a little focus that means I can start to take better care of myself.
I weighed myself today too and will do on Sundays. I'm down two pounds since last week
and I will take a picture of myself this afternoon. Once a week for a year so I can remind myself of changes that may not be obvious when I'm feeling discouraged. I pledged to walk 25 days for 30 minutes this month too. Im at 3/25.
See you next Sunday everyone. Have a great week!

Thanks so much for sharing your self care plan- how wonderful!
Congrats on your success to date 🙌🏻
I would love it if you would share your arm workout plan. Thanks in advance!
