🌺🌸July Daily Weighing and Logging Challenge 🌺🌸

@ddainiak - Thank you for the shout out. It's taken me soooooo many months to get on the right track of consistently taking my thyroid meds, cutting back on the calories my body obviously needs to be at to lose weight, and to stop eating so late at night. I hate how it took being really sick for a few days to reset my big appetite, but make lemonade out of lemons, right? I made some really good but difficult choices this week. I still want to eat seconds at dinner time, but seeing the difference on the scale every morning is very rewarding.

@joans1976 - I am sorry to hear about the lymphedema. I have a small amount of it on my mastectomy side that I am always monitoring. Do you wear a sleeve? I just know that it is something that the doctors recommended to me should mine begin to worsen.

@Melwillbehealthy - Wonderful progress! Congrats on staying on track while "cottaging". I don't think that is actually a word...but it should be. I have a calm and serene feeling while typing that word.

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

It's my 30 year wedding anniversary on Monday so we will be celebrating this weekend. I know I will be over calories at least one day this weekend. Hopefully I will still be able to lose at least a pound but I will try not to be discouraged if I just maintain.

My clothes and my lymphedema are telling me I’m gaining so I’m very surprised at a mere 2 pound weight gain. I’m trying not to be troubled by being out of Onederland.

Hi! I’m a grandma of 8 from Canada. I live near my kids and help out babysitting a fair bit. I was never overweight when I was young, but have probably been obese off an on for the past 20 years. Something changed in my mental outlook about 5 months ago when my doctor told me I was now diabetic. She had previously warned me, but I just didn’t pay attention. I listened this time and am taking it seriously. I’m determined to get healthy.
My goal is to be able to stop taking several prescribed drugs, and lower blood sugar levels. I believe it will take me over a year to do this, but I’m going to do it. I was always healthy before I got fat. I have over 100 lbs. to lose. I’ve already lost 35 in the last 5 months, decreased my bp medication, and my blood sugar level has decreased significantly.
I’ve made lifestyle changes, and I’m counting calories most days. I’ve started swimming more. Recently, I even travelled for the first time in years.

Starting weight: 230
Goal weight: 130 (maybe less)
Height: 5’2”

July 3: 202 lbs.
July 4: 201
July 6: 199.8 thrilled to be in ‘onederland’

I don’t really have a specific goal for July, but I would love to be out of the 190’s into the 180’s, as far away from 200 as possible. I never want to see that dreaded number again.

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.

07/21-194.4-(Trend Weight 197.0)- Well, the only way for me to stop my late night bingeing at this point is to eat late. Very late. I’m talking Dinner at midnight, snack at 2:00 or 2:30 am. I know that doesn’t put much time between my last meal and my morning weigh-in but that is the dilemma of a person who has a 20 hour eating window (and who sleeps only 4 hours per night). It’s working for now.

07/22-195.6-(Trend Weight 197.0)- My foodie daughter has been here since Thur evening although working during the day. I’m been babysitting DGS Age 5. I watched my portion sizes yesterday but Pasta always shows up on the scale for me. Leftovers today. I’ll probably freeze the rest. I didn’t get any exercising in yesterday technically although I ran after him all day and went to the park for awhile with him which fulfilled lots of steps for me. I did get in some minimal strength training.

@BittersweetVita I do wear a sleeve and a compression bra 24 hours a day. It’s lovely in the heat. They both were hurting so much last night though that I removed them and my swelling has gone way down this morning. I finally feel some relief! The lymphedema is no joke, I have to do my drainage exercises twice a day, I can’t lift anything heavier than 5 pounds with my right arm. I’m hoping some day I can put this behind me!

@Buckeyebabe7l7 Looooove the lion pic, hysterical!
