    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!

    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    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.

    08/19-198.0-(Trend Weight [b196.3[/b]x)- I’m In a very confused state about my diet and mfp goals. Too much restriction just seems to be causing me to throw in the towel every few days. I need to seriously rethink it all, especially when life gets busy. What can be sustainable, help my diabetes but keep me from bingeing? I dunno. Lots to consider! Was super busy until very late again last night. When it’s that late, meals are in the middle of the night and I’m too tired for exercise. I’ve got a lot to figure out! But I’m so happy to be getting some remodeling projects started with my new handymen.

    08/20-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Went to the County Fair yesterday with oldest daughter and my 3 DGS’s. It’s not my county (we don’t have a fair with rides etc). It was one county over but a HUGE fair for a town bigger than mine but that would still be considered small by most. Ate from the food trucks which is never a good thing for plan.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 Funny - I had a dog named Woody - a feisty dalmatian.

    I got almost 23K steps today! Monty and me on the boat today. I've come a long way - would never share pictures of me in the past!

    Congrats on getting so many steps in on vacation! That's really great. I remember you told me about your Woody before...my Woody is a Labradoodle and a sweet boy. Your Monty really does look a lot like Brutus. Give him a big hug for me.

    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!

    There was a chocolate binge before bed last night, resulting in 300 calories, 200 of which were over goal.

    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 6 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 close to 37 lbs. in the last 6 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, and I’m doing very gentle aerobics.
    Recently, I even travelled for the first time in years.

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

    Monthly Weight Loss:
    March-10 lbs.
    April- 8 lbs.
    May- 5 lbs.
    June- 4.4 lbs. (trip to Europe)
    July- 5.6
    August-
    September-
    October-
    November-
    December-

    Aug. 16- 193.8 lbs. starting this challenge 1/2 way through. I’d love to get into the 180’s by the end of this month. Don’t know what to expect. DH has a knee replacement surgery in a week. I’m his caregiver.
    Aug. 17-193.8 swam for an hour. Haven’t been swimming as the pool has been closed for 2weeks. We had a horrific incident and a man drowned. I feel a bit strange because of it. It’s terribly sad.
    Aug. 18-DW gentle aerobics class
    Aug. 19-194.4 ate some junk food last night, lots of salt, swam for 55 min.
    Aug. 20-192.4 woo hoo ! I hope it stays. This is a huge loss for me.
    Aug. 21-192.6. Still happy, aerobics, DH has surgery tomorrow, his knee replaced.

    08/19-198.0-(Trend Weight [b196.3[/b]x)-

    08/20-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Went to the County Fair yesterday with oldest daughter and my 3 DGS’s. It’s not my county (we don’t have a fair with rides etc). It was one county over but a HUGE fair for a town bigger than mine but that would still be considered small by most. Ate from the food trucks which is never a good thing for plan.

    08/21-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Yesterday was a huge birthday party for my DGD age 3. Pizza, chips, cake, ice cream was the menu. Soda too, but I stuck to water. Everything feels tight around the waist and I know that it’s more than just water retention, even if that is a part of it. I think I’ll hold off from weighing until all my flurry of back-to-back-to-back events are over. Too depressing. And I don’t need the scale numbers to tell me to watch my choices and portions! Today is a day at home with the handymen but tomorrow I travel 4 hours each way for my mammogram and oncology appointment at the University Hospital. Lunch and dinner will be at restaurants. So I go on the 22nd, am home but will skip the following morning weigh-in on the 23rd, give myself a buffer day on the 24th (have an appointment but it’s semi-local so no restaurant necessary). I’ll weigh in on the 25th after one buffer day and see what all the travel, birthday celebrations, festivals and County Fair has yielded. In the meantime, I am going to tweak my MFP goals (again). It really is necessary. What I am doing is not sustainable even if it sounds good on paper.

    I am a 5'4", 46 year-old married female with four kids. There is a lot totally out of my control right now, but I am trying to find ways to manage what I can control...and get ready for the start of a new school year for my kids. I am so grateful for this wonderfully supportive group!

    Goals for August:
    Take it one day at a time by logging and checking in daily.
    Daily steps goal: 8K to start

    8/06: 183 - 5K steps - late night snacks and wine from a get together with our neighbors.
    8/07: 181.9 - 12763 steps - my part-time job is a lot of moving!

    8/21 - 184.9 - I had issues with allergic reactions 2 years ago, but allergy testing could not find the culprit, and I've been fine for 2 years. A few days ago, I started having an allergic reaction. To what, I am not sure, but Benedryl did the trick. Yesterday, I was apparently playing a game of hide and seek with some hornets while gardening. I found them. Stings/bites to my right ankle, right hand, and one decided to chase me and bit my face. I was in pain and had some swelling, but able to be a trooper nevertheless. I pushed through my part-time job, but at 11pm I started having an allergic reaction and ended up in the ER. Not sure if it was due to the stings or something I ate. .and here we go again. Lol! I am a walking medical mystery and wonder all at the same time.

    I started with this group in July. I am Mary, 69 years old, 5’5”, CW 170 lbs, HW 185, GW 150, or maybe UGW 140. I want to lose weight to bring my blood pressure down and to improve my cardiovascular health. I saw the notes from the orthopedic doctor on my medical record which said my BMI is a contributing factor to my mobility pain. I also feel all the usual feelings about my appearance at a higher weight not being as attractive, wanting to feel more energy, move more gracefully.
    Late August and my weight loss is super slow to the point of non-existent! I look at August 4: 170.6 and today: 170.2. I log my food diary and exercise to MFP daily. Eating 4-5 servings of vegetables and fruits, and drinking more fluids. It’s good to have the log and that’s a way to note what is going on (not much). Inspiration comes more from seeing others’ progress over time. I do see I lost a bit when I had several days’ higher step count. New goal: 10K / day.

    August 4: 170.6 Steps: 1,467

    Hi

    I’m Melanie getting on track haven’t logged food in a loooong time and managed my weight pretty easily. Out of whack hormones plus a new berry stressful job has me 20 lbs higher than what feels good for me.

    The hormonal stuff is making it tough but without really trying to build awareness of what I’m eating I can’t continue to blame that.

    So here I am:
    August 21: 192.6
    Ultimate Goal: 175

    August goal: 189

    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 July 31st): 193.8
    Goal: 189.8 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

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

    08/21-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Yesterday was a huge birthday party for my DGD age 3. Pizza, chips, cake, ice cream was the menu. Soda too, but I stuck to water. Everything feels tight around the waist and I know that it’s more than just water retention, even if that is a part of it. I think I’ll hold off from weighing until all my flurry of back-to-back-to-back events are over. Too depressing. And I don’t need the scale numbers to tell me to watch my choices and portions! Today is a day at home with the handymen but tomorrow I travel 4 hours each way for my mammogram and oncology appointment at the University Hospital. Lunch and dinner will be at restaurants. So I go on the 22nd, am home but will skip the following morning weigh-in on the 23rd, give myself a buffer day on the 24th (have an appointment but it’s semi-local so no restaurant necessary). I’ll weigh in on the 25th after one buffer day and see what all the travel, birthday celebrations, festivals and County Fair has yielded. In the meantime, I am going to tweak my MFP goals (again). It really is necessary. What I am doing is not sustainable even if it sounds good on paper.

    08/22-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I’m hitting the road very early this morning. Hopefully good news today at the cancer center.

    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!

    Sooooo it looks as though I’m eating for a maintenance goal. My calorie goal is set pretty low and if I set it any lower, I will be miserable and binge. It’s time for exercising more. Hard to do sitting at a desk 40-45 hours per week but others can do it, why can’t I? If only there was a magic pill…
