Well hello August! Summer seems to be flying by!
I am Amanda, I am from Michigan. I lost 50 pounds last year but have been stuck at pretty much the same weight for about 7 months. This month I would like to put a dent in that number! Hooray for willpower!

Aug 8 - 185 My own doing. My sister brought cake to Bingo with Mom night for my birthday (yup turned 63 today) and I ate more than I should. Also rained yesterday and didn't get my steps in. All around not a good day. Today my daughter is taking me out for lunch, but am going to try to stay in check the rest of the day. Hoping for a quick turn around.
Aug 9 - 184 😁 Had a really nice day. Started the day with my usual walk "after" the rain. Half way through it poured, was kind of refreshing and made us laugh. My daughter took us out for a nice lunch, and then just a quiet day at home the rest of the day. Tonight is Trivia night. We haven't been in a long time, so really looking forward to it.
Aug 10 - 184.2 4th Place in Trivia; waitress must have known that I was on a diet - never brought our dinners - just the salad! But - she brought me two beers I didn't order - yes I drank them. HA!

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!

08/12-192.6-(Trend Weight 195.2)- Handyman was very nice and seems like he’s going to work out. So far, so good. He also has resources for what he is not licensed or knowledgeable in. Happy camper here! Stuck to my guns on the diet front, got in a few minutes of strength training and got in 32 minutes of dancing. I pick very random songs that have the right “beat”. A bit slower for the warm-up and cool-down. A little more challenging ones in the middle of my set. One song I chose as a bit of a warm-up was “Cry to me” by Solomon Burke. It was one of the songs in the movie “Dirty Dancing”. Aw Come On, give it a try!
08/13-194.2-(Trend Weight 195.1)- Well I guess a year has gone by very quickly. I got a call from my childhood best friend that she is on her annual vacay back to Michigan to visit family and friends. I have (since growing up) moved about 3 ½ hours north so we are coordinating when she can come stay a night or two. She understands the renovations that have just begun and that I can’t leave. So….. the self-sabotage has begun. I did not eat well yesterday but I did make sure that I offset my stupidity with some HIIT in my workout. Why can’t I just be good to myself? My trend weight still went down a bit so I’m hoping the upward change is just water retention. We’ll see.

Aug 14 - 184.2 I have been out of my normal routine too long - never really got back into the full swing since coming home from Nashville. Starting fresh today! The timing was terrible in that the two competition challenges that I was in ended at the same time - nothing to keep me structured and accountable, so I would be on track on day and then off the next. I need someone to tell me what I need to do and then I will do it. Kind of like handing in my homework at school - I need to check the boxes! The competition challenges do that for me. LOL. One starts up again today the other the following week; so excited to get started again - hopefully will get to the 170s soon.4 -

I started with this group in July. I am Mary, 69 years old, CW 170 lbs, HW 185, GW 150, or maybe UGW 140. It would be great if my blood pressure improved with weight loss. I've lost 15 lbs this year, and lost another 6 but gained it back after a trip and haven't been able to get back down to 164. Logging and weighing might help me see how to make more progress. MFP isn't easy for me to work with but I'm starting to get used to it -- I'll be putting in my daily weight and checking for any change in my measurements. Still trying IF 16/8 with Keto but not married to it, if I don't make progress. I am coming to believe exercise is the missing component for me, and I'm working on regaining strength from long-lasting leg and ankle problems resulting from Guillain-Barre syndrome so I can get more steps.
Continuing with focus on nutrition:
veggies and fruits. Still a bit keto, a bit IF.
Hydration.
Walking despite ankle pain – have to push myself.

Thank you so much! I now have 10 more pounds to my goal weight. So I will probably adjust my diet next month to more maintenance. That will be very interesting. I haven't really done that before so it will be a learning experience. 🧐2
