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!

@fourathomej Great news on your scans! That’s a relief! I would love to pick your brain some time about the journey that is Tamoxifen but maybe you don’t want to share, which I understand.
@deepwoodslady Donna, I am so sorry. I know there are many frustrating things about cancer but the unknown has to be the worst. Maybe work on getting a second opinion? But don’t listen to me, this is your body, you get to do what you want with it. You are in my thoughts ❤️1 -
@fourathomej - Happy to hear your news!
@ddainiak - I hope ypu had a wonderful anniversary!
@deepwoodslady - Not hearing those "all clear" words had to be disheartening, but at the same time, with this being a part of the aging process, there is still hope that all is well. I am glad they are following up with another scan to be on top of this to make sure things are good.
@melwillbhealthy - I am so happy that you are enjoying swimming. The thought of being (almost) weighless in the water sounds amazing right now. I am sorry that you are having this reaction though. What are uour thoughts on trying to eat something before exercising? Maybe your body needs a little something in it for that extra umph?1 -
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!

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!

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.

08/23-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I will weigh in tomorrow. I just needed this one buffer day at home to stick to plan and mitigate the damage from all the travel and festivities. I received confusing news at the cancer appts yesterday. They have found calcifications in my left breast (the cancer free one). While some calcifications can be normal in women, it is a concern due to my cancer history. They are not recommending a biopsy just yet which is good news. But they do want another mammogram in 6 months instead of a year to follow any changes or growth. So now, 6 months of worry. I should have just had them both lopped off with the original cancer but I had 3 kids still in school at the time and my hubby was very sick with constant travel for dialysis. Honestly there was no time for me as it would have required so much travel and processes. And I likely still would have needed the chemo anyway. I’m thinking about seeing a breast surgeon now and just get it over with. This is draining. Anyway, today is National Prayer Day so maybe you guys can say one for me.
08/24-195.4-(Trend Weight 197.0)- I am down 2.6 lbs from my last weigh-in. Boy-oh-Boy what a relief! I was hoping to see the probable water weight come off on this reading and I am very pleased. I just wasn’t in a state to see a higher weight another day. Now to take the ball and run with it since this is still higher than my lowest in August. Yesterday I worked on tweaking my calorie and carb goals with MFP. I am going to try to be a little less restrictive but still very mindful of carbs due to my T2D as well as its effectiveness for weight loss. I’ll keep working and tweaking until I find the sweet spot. I will be like a dog looking for a bone, I won’t give up and I’ll dig where I have to! I start babysitting tonight until Saturday night so that means constant interruptions in my ability to exercise but it also means lots of stairs on a steep staircase. I’m going to take advantage of being home and really watch my P’s and Q’s.

@deepwoodslady thanks for the advice about the scan. If it continues to happen, I’ll probably do that.
@BittersweetVita yes, I just love the pool💕. Today, I did my first water aerobics in about 5 years. What fun! I was a bit depressed when I first went in , and came out feeling downright happy. I’m usually not hungry until noon, but I’ve started eating something small in the morning. My doctor told me to have a tbs. Of peanut butter. Yum, I love peanut butter!
@Buckeyebabe7l7 congratulations on your new grand baby👶🥰. There’s nothing better!2 -

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.
My DD pointed out that despite no joy on the scale, my strength and endurance have increased, which is part of cardiovascular health. She pointed out my face has lost weight: ha!

Aug 3 - 185 The bloat is ending! 😁
Aug 4 - 184.2 😁 Woo Hoo! I'm back to my low.
Aug 5 - 183.4 😁
Aug 6 - 183.2 😁 I probably shouldn't say anything to jinx it, but I have been working really hard so it's nice to see that it has paid off!
Aug 7 - 183.4
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!
Aug 11 - 184.2
Aug 12 - 183.8
Aug 13 - 184.8 (Corrected)
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 one 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.
Aug 15 - 182.8 😁See what little accountability does for me.
Aug 16 - 182.6 😁
Aug 17 - 182.8
Aug 18 - 182.6 Packing up today - we rented a house on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. Taking the boat (and Monty of course), leave tomorrow morning. There a lot of nice trails we are going to try, so should get in a lot of steps. With Monty with us, won't be going out to dinner, don't know if I'll be under my calorie limit - but at least I be able to log everything and control the salt. I'm bringing my laptop, so will be checking in every day, but won't be weighing in.
Aug 19 - 183 The good thing is that they have a scale, the bad thing is they have a scale. This is my view for the next week.
Aug 20 - DNW took @joans1976 advice

Aug 25 - Not going to weigh until Sunday when I have a mandatory weigh in for the Hogwarts Challenge. Vacation was wonderful but am glad to be home sweet home. No more social situations until October 😁.
It's amazing how much happens in 6 days. Missed you all!
First this is for everyone who is frustrated and/or discouraged. We have all been there - the key is to keep coming back.
@Joans1976 - You can swear - you are entitled, but you've been in the 190s for 9 days in a row.
@BittersweetVita We are in the same point in our weight loss journey and have seen the 80s for a little too long - we can do this. Let's both kick the 80s butt and get to the 70s in September together!
@deepwoodslady You are definitely in my prayers.
@imaginemary You made me chuckle. The good thing is that everyone LOVES their pets.My body seems like a big pet, unruly, has issues, loved.
Needs training.
@littlelily76 Welcome to this wonderful group
@jm216 I think you can say a permanent goodbye to the 200s!
@fourathomej Looking good. I'll bite on the ask me anything! Can you share your weight loss story? How did it all start? What food plan do you use - calories, ww, keto, etc?
@melwillbehealthy How is hubby doing?
@Tassieboy So glad you keep showing up! We don't say it much - but glad you are here with us!

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.

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.
Aug. 22- DW surgery went well!
Aug. 23- 193 up we go! One of those things😳 DH is 🏡
Aug. 24- 193.4 first class of water aerobics in 5 years
Aug. 25- 192.2 My weight loss is full of fluctuations . Sometimes , I know the reasons for it. Other times I’m baffled. It’s taken me a long time to accept the fluctuations and just be able to move forward.

Darlene, hubby is home and doing very well. He’s doing all of the exercises that have been suggested. I have our apartment set up for him to get around easily. The second bedroom is his personal gym. I fill his ice machine 2 or 3 times a day, and give him his medications. I’m cooking healthy food for him. I do like to cook. He’s 12 years older than me, but in better shape. He was always very physical, played tennis 3 days before his surgery. Loves, swimming. He’s 6 ‘ tall. I’m 5’2” tall. I weigh more than him!
I think I need to change his bandage today. I’m supposed to keep it on as long as possible, but it
needs changing. It’s only been a day and a half since his knee surgery. I’ve been told it’s a long recovery, but I’m expecting he’ll do really well. I think he’s Superman 🏋️♂️
Unfortunately, I’m not getting as much daily exercise as I normally do.3 -
@Melwillbehealthy Glad to hear that he is being a good patient - sounds like he has a great nurse. 😉1

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

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.

08/24-195.4-(Trend Weight 197.0)- I am down 2.6 lbs from my last weigh-in. Boy-oh-Boy what a relief! I was hoping to see the probable water weight come off on this reading and I am very pleased. I just wasn’t in a state to see a higher weight another day. Now to take the ball and run with it since this is still higher than my lowest in August. Yesterday I worked on tweaking my calorie and carb goals with MFP. I am going to try to be a little less restrictive but still very mindful of carbs due to my T2D as well as its effectiveness for weight loss. I’ll keep working and tweaking until I find the sweet spot. I will be like a dog looking for a bone, I won’t give up and I’ll dig where I have to! I start babysitting tonight until Saturday night so that means constant interruptions in my ability to exercise but it also means lots of stairs on a steep staircase. I’m going to take advantage of being home and really watch my P’s and Q’s.
08/25-195.6-(Trend Weight 196.8)- Just a normal fluctuation in my weight. Dinner and snack was rather late so that could be it. I tweaked my MFP macros in the “Goals” section. I’m going to give it a few weeks and see if it helps my bingeing problem at all. I am trying to be less restrictive but still mindful/counting my calories and carbs at new amounts. We shall see. I have to keep an eye on my blood fasting numbers to make sure it is aligned with what I need to be accomplishing there too. It’s a science really and that was not my strongest subject in school! LOL. I am so tired of doing well for a few days, then going off my rocker, then back to doing well again…… over and over. I need to be able to sustain my weight loss efforts for longer periods of time. Especially when I am at home and in full control of my menus. Anyway, have a great day everyone! I will be babysitting DGS until tomorrow night and dealing with my handymen all the while.
