    I’m thrilled my weight is still below 200, two days in a row. Makes me believe it’s a real loss.

    Hi, I'd like to join this group. It looks like a lot of of encouragement and healthy weight loss. I'm 66 and am a retired elementary teacher. I gained at least 15 pounds over the last two years and would like to lose it. I joined a great group at the Y but oh, those pounds still keep coming. Here are my July weight goals:
    Lose 4 pounds
    Be consistent in tracking food
    Exercise 5X a week

    @jsann So nice that you are joining us. Welcome!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan 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 June 30th): 198.2
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


    **************************************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.


    07/01-197.8-(Trend Weight 197.4)-


    07/02-197.6-(Trend Weight 197.5)-

    07/03-196.6-(Trend Weight 197.4)-

    07/04-195.4-(Trend Weight 197.2)-

    07/05-195.4-(Trend Weight 197.0)-

    07/06-196.6-(Trend Weight 197.0)-

    07/07-195.6-(Trend Weight 196.8)- Because I stay up so late, if I don’t eat dinner very very late (10 pm – Midnight) I will get too hungry and will end up in a binge. I think the fact that I only sleep about 4 hours per night (leaving a 20 hour eating window) is the biggest culprit but I have never seemed to need more than 4 hours per night. About once per week I make up for it with a 6 hour night usually. So planning my meals and snacks can be difficult. This is how I have been handling it lately: I try to do Intermittent Fasting (if sugar doesn’t drop) making my first meal around 3 – 4:00 pm. Because of IF I usually only eat two meals. Snack about 7-8:00 pm. Dinner 10-Midnight. Snack about 2 hours after dinner (usually 1 oz nuts and 1 square of 90% cacao dark chocolate.) The last snack is pretty close to bedtime but I’m usually getting a bit hungry again by then. The fat content usually shows up on my scale in the morning (like it did today) which is frustrating. I have tweaked and tweaked but my stomach seems to be the boss. I’ve ABSOLUTELY got to avoid hunger at night or it’s not pretty! I’ll literally clean the pantry out! Something I’ve noticed that I found strange: If I haven’t eaten yet (during my IF) I can go without food with no problem. But once I eat my first meal at 3:30 or 4:00 pm, I am hungry more frequently for the rest of the day/night. I also obsess about food more often once I’ve had it. Very weird.

    07/08-195.8-(Trend Weight 196.7)- Fluctuation uptick. Trend weight has been looking good. I am on a new personal challenge for myself. It is listed at the top in red. On paper it is very do-able. In reality, um….well…..hmm….

    My name is Kelly. I am 52 and watch my grandkids 5 days a week. I watch 4 of them 5 days a weeks and 6 on Wednesdays so I keep busy with babies all week. They are all 3yrs and under. I weigh weekly. This daily group accountability is awesome! I absolutely love this group.

    Goals for July:
    Walk for 30 minutes a day 6 days a week
    Log all my food daily
    Hit at least 10,000 steps 6 days a week

    I am not sure how I lost that much this week. I hope it's not muscle loss since I didn't walk quite as much. I am beat this evening because I helped my hubby put up a wood board ceiling in our basement most of the day and used muscles I don't usually use.

    Welcome @jsann ! There seems to be so many new faces here this month if I didn't welcome you already I am now! The more the merrier 😊

    Here is a picture of the ceiling we were worked on...I will say our basement is big and this is only the smaller half. This picture has an optical illusion...the angle I took it makes it look like the lights are random. They are not. Those lights were a pain, too! I will try and add pictures on the progress we make in the basement improvements.

    But I do consider it a NSV that I was able to help. Just 6 months ago that would not have been possible.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 I look forward to future pics of the basement reno. I would love some ideas and pics. I will be redoing my finished basement eventually.........

    07/10-194.4-(Trend Weight 196.4)- Whoop, there it is! Was looking for it yesterday but it was nowhere to be found! Today is travel. That is always dangerous with the diet and activity and I wish it was on a different day since I’ve hit a weight that I haven’t been at (or maintained more than 24 hours) since late May. Ugh. Today I need to focus on BOTH choices and portion control. My mini-goal is to make it back into the 180’s by the end of summer (Labor Day). I did not succeed in my last mini-challenge. I’d like to make this goal. I really want to show my endocrinologist that I can control my blood sugars without insulin. In the 180’s my glucose levels and A1C will be much improved. In the low 170’s or high 160’s I’ll probably go into remission and not need treatment at all (no more diabetes!) I really have a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. I just need to reach for the stars. I’m down 3.8 lbs so far this round. That is remarkable for me. Gotta keep going! I am enjoying and appreciating all the inspirations I am getting from this group.
