Been a bit off the track this month, carbs creeping back up and also not been logging consistently. Logging weight here really helps !

My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall.
Start Weight (from July 31, 2023 ): 193.8
Goal Weight: 189.8 (4 pound loss)
End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (Iβll know it when I get there!)
Weight in blue makes me blue because itβs a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itβs a loss. Weight in black means no change.
08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)-
08/08-194.6-(Trend Weight: 195.6)- I had 3 bad days this week and Iβm really paying for it. The scale went even higher earlier in the week because of 1 travel day, one festival day and one cereal binge day, but Iβve been putting in the work. Iβm still one pound up but committed to doing everything I can before the next travel day derails me later in the month. Iβve been pre-logging, focusing on water and putting in 30 minutes of straight exercise along with my mild strength training. It adds up.
08/15-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-
08/22-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Very early travel today for routine mammogram and oncologist appt. 4 hour drive each way. Hopefully I am still in full remission. Diet & Exercise has been horrible. What I am doing is just not sustainable. Iβve got to rethink my MFP goals and tweak.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hello again!
I am Ana, 39 years old. 5'5" reaching out from Greece...
Last two years I gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and learning to set realistic goals! Trying to make it a lifestyle choice, rather than a punishment !!
August Start Weight: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)
August Goal Weight: 164 lbs (74.6 kgr) Adjusted after the first week...
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125lbs (57kgr)
August 1: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)
August 7: Posted today since tommorow will be off grid!173.2 lbs (78.6kgr) A bit slower than I wanted.. I have concluded that I need to majorly adjust my goals, ( Ξ already made a change in my August Goal weight) or make huge changes for food and activity.. I find that as I get older, just food moderation, no longer works.. So consistently exercising seems to be the only way... Next week will show!
August 16: 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) I am very happy with this number, since I was on vacation the last 5 days, with no scale, and not much restriction on food! Back on schedule, I hope next week reflects that!
August 22: 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) I thought it would be lower, but I will keep expecting for the drop... At the past I would be so frustrated, I would go drown my sorrows on ice cream, nuggets, or burgers.. Now I am just waiting for my body to start responding! A week to go!

Wow you've done a great job this month. Do you mind me asking which method you're using to drop the weight?? Calorie counting & exercise?? I don't think I've seen a weekly drop like yours. Amazing job!! Keep up the great work.

I don't think I've seen a weekly drop like yours.
FYI that was 10 days, not a week. Still an amazing amount of progress in such a short time, obviously! But I did a double take too because I thought it was a week, and then I saw the dates.2 -

Hi folks - I"ll open up September's thread and link it here momentarily. I'm about to head out for about 2.5 weeks of travel where I won't have a scale and perhaps no internet for part of the time so I wanted to make sure there was a thread for the new month ready to go. I'll see you over there mid-September!4 -
