    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 5’ 5” 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 (I’ll know it when I get there!)





    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.


    08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)-

    08/08-194.6-(Trend Weight: 195.6)- I had 3 bad days this week and I’m 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 I’ve been putting in the work. I’m still one pound up but committed to doing everything I can before the next travel day derails me later in the month. I’ve 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. I’ve got to rethink my MFP goals and tweak.

    08/29-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    08/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


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

    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.

    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!
