    Sep 6: 179 ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธWe are refinishing our hallway/pantry floor this week, so emptied the pantry, washed the shelves and painted. Busy day - starting refinishing the floors today. It's surprising how much stuff I had in that pantry closet. My living room is filled with junk! Can't wait for it to be finished so I can put my house back in order. Met my 1,600 mile marker yesterday! ๐Ÿ˜
    Sep 7: 178.6 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Had a snag in the refinishing yesterday - After sanding for a couple hours yesterday, realized the floors are in worse shape than we thought. The machine we rented wasn't powerful enough to go down as far as we need; so we returned it. Renting a different kind today - hoping it will work! If not, I think we'll need to rip it up and put down a new floor. Regardless, when they are done I will be happy- now a dusty, messy house! YUCK!
    Sep 8: 179.6 ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ‘ฃ ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ It's what I "sort of" expected. Didn't eat all day yesterday until dinnertime. (Working on the floors). I didn't want to cook when were done, so we order a plain cheese pizza. Under my calories for the day, but the sodium gets me every time. On a good note, we finished sanding the floors, and they came out really nice. Today we put the polyurethane one (keeping natural); it has to dry for a couple days and then I can move the stuff back in. Then a full day (or two) of cleaning the rest of the rooms. Even though you put up plastic to keep the dust out - it travels everywhere! Can't wait!
    Sep 9: 179.8 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐ŸงถDon't like the direction I'm going. Hoping it will swish down when I get back into my normal routine. Although I walked yesterday - it was in little spirts - a mile at a time. Although I stayed within my calorie budget, didn't have time to make healty things and didn't eat at regular times. Was ravenous at the end of the day and had salty cashews before I went to bed. On a better note, two coats of polyurethane down. Two (or three if we need it) more today. It's getting close!
    Sep 10: 179.6 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐ŸงถThe floor has one more coat to go - then touch up any spots at the end; it needs to dry overnight and then I can start moving the stuff back in. Last night I woke up and couldn't sleep - since there is only one more light sand left I cleaned the family room (the farthest room from the foyer). There was even dust INSIDE the TV cabinet - had to take everything out, dust and put everything back. Hoping that it was worth my effort and it doesn't get dusty again today. Thinking about how much I needed to deep clean anyway and how sparkly my house will be next week. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Sep 11: 179.4 Floors done, kitchen and family room (second time) cleaned. Today can put the shelves back in, and filled. Just need to keep the stuff off the floor. Also is Hubby's birthday today, so will celebrate tonight with dinnre of his choice.

    Hi, I'm a 50 yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. Iโ€™m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

    Heaviest Weight: 221 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165
    Starting Weight Aug 2023: 212.7

    September Goals:
    Lose 2 lbs. | Consistently log food | Bike &/or Treadmill 4 days a week | Aim for 7 hours sleep/day

    1 Sep: 207.1
    2 Sep: 206.6
    3 Sep: 207.1 - We had chips+ with our salads yesterday. Still logged it all, but knew the number would go up. Also entering cycle bloat, so this will fluctuate over the next week. Cycles are in sometimes mode, and irregular with M, so who knows right now. : )
    4 Sep: 208.6 - Bloat + an open bag of pretzels. But it's back to food & exercise plan today. :)
    5 Sep: 207.6
    6 Sep: 206.7
    7 Sep: 206.8
    8 Sep: 206.9
    9 Sep: 208.2 -- Pizza & sodium. I haven't had pizza in weeks and to be honest, when we went to bed last night, both my husband and I felt gross after greasy food and we both said we're looking forward to salads tomorrow. :) This morning I'm going to Instapot a bunch of chicken breasts that we can use on salads and in soup for the week ahead. I'm glad we've detoxed enough to notice how less healthy food feels when we have it. It's been a while since we could tell the difference.
    10 Sep: 208.1
    11 Sep: 209.8 :|
    12 Sep:

    Today is my busy day of the week, so I'll be running around and hopefully still get my workout in. Not sure what's going on with weight, water retention? While I haven't been perfect with diet, we also managed to go to the farm stand in town and didn't come home with a pie or sweets -- we came home with two fresh Honey Crisp apples to have this week as snacks. Small wins I guess. I'll tweak my foods today to see if I can get back on track.

    @ddainiak I hope your husband has a happy bday!

    Sept. 1- 141.0 I logged :)
    Sept. 2- 139.2 I logged :)
    Sept. 3- 138.6 I logged :) I think I'm experiencing some quick weight loss that can happen when I simply start watching what I eat and drinking more water.... Nice to see; it will probably steady out.
    Sept. 4- 138.8 I logged :) A potluck yesterday and out to a restaurant today; determined to log
    Sept. 5- 139.4 I liked yesterday's weight better. Oh well, keep moving forward.
    Sept. 6- 138.8 I logged! :) Did not finish logging yesterday. It was cycle day 1 and I totally blew it on calories. Next time I plan to adjust my calorie goal to maintenance on cycle day 1... maybe that will help...
    Sept. 7- 138.0 I logged :) MIL cooked a big huge dinner for us, with dessert... I went over on calories, but logged anyway.
    Sept.8- 138.2 I logged :)
    Sept. 9- 138.0 I logged :)
    Sept. 10- 138.2 I logged :) potluck... kinda hard to log, but I logged anyway. I think I ate at maintenance.
    Sept. 11- 138.0

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ 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!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™s



    Starting Weight (from Aug 31st): 191.8
    Goal: 187.8 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    09/09-192.0-(Trend Weight 193.6)-

    09/10-194.2-(Trend Weight 193.7)- I had a very good day yesterday but I stayed up way way too late and ended up hungry enough for another meal that was unplanned for and put me over budget, so to speak. Today I will choose one of my lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zag plan to get back in line. I really need to get in more steps and movement today somehow also. Iโ€™m expecting my DD and DGS over this afternoon so that may be difficult. Based on my starting weight for September and my loss goal, this is the month I am supposed to enter into the 180's and join the 180 club. Going backward will put me walking uphill both ways but there is still plenty of month left. I got this!

    09/11-192.4-(Trend Weight 193.6)- I kept to plan and made sure my calories and carbs were extra low yesterday and it paid off. Luckily I was able to find some things that were high volume and/or high fat to keep me full on less calories and carbs. I got in some extra exercise yesterday too with 41 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT. Now, to have another good day.

    My name is Kelly. I am 52 and watch my grandkids 5 days a week. I watch 4 of them 5 days a weeks and 6 on Wednesdays so I keep busy with babies all week. They are all 3yrs and under. I weigh weekly. This daily group accountability is awesome! I absolutely love this group.

    Goals for September:
    Walk for 30 minutes a day 6 days a week
    Log all my food daily
    Hit at least 10,000 steps 6 days a week
    Strength training...what I can tolerate and build from there
    Hit my original goal weight of 150

    I am going to be transitioning slowly to a maintaining phase of my journey. But I think I do want to get into the mid 140's. So, I want to take this month to lose weight but slow the process down. I will be doing my morning 5 mile walks during the week but I won't push myself to get the same amount of steps each day. I think about 12-15k per day will be good. I will be adding strength training. I have never been good at maintaining so this will be a learning process and I want to slow my weight loss down and gradually get there.

    This is the start of my second week with you guys. Lots of interesting and inspiring stories in this group. I worked hard cleaning up my garage today on 9/11 day (4 hours). Probably the most exercise I've had since joining our Sep. Daily Weigh-in Challenge. Maybe it will show up on the scales tomorrow????

    @ManifestingToday I think the sodium will get you every time! Sometimes I think it pops up a day or two later. A couple days of being on track and I bet you come right back down to where you were.

    @deepwoodslady - Just want you to know that you are such an inspiration to everyone - with al that is going on you just keep chugging finding a way to make it work. You definitely got this!

    Here is the BLC53 Week 3 - September 13-19 Motivation. I'll post the challenge a little later today.

    znvx6f6fmizd.png
    It takes time and plenty of practice to plan for the future and your health.
    Everyday needs to be planned a little bit.

    Family and schedules, work, exercise, meals, water, and your down time.
    When planning ahead, take some time out of your busy day and make a plan for the week.

    Keep a journal to help you see the progress you are making, this will help motivate yourself to keep going.

    It didnโ€™t take a day or two to gain the weight, it will take some time to get back to a healthier you.

    Consistency is the ONLY key to achieving any desired result'

    One way to stay consistent is to create โ€œWHYโ€™s AND HOWโ€™s Listโ€

    Or create and have fun making a vision board. Hereโ€™s a great article

    1 Sep: 207.1
    2 Sep: 206.6
    3 Sep: 207.1 - We had chips+ with our salads yesterday. Still logged it all, but knew the number would go up. Also entering cycle bloat, so this will fluctuate over the next week. Cycles are in sometimes mode, and irregular with M, so who knows right now. : )
    4 Sep: 208.6 - Bloat + an open bag of pretzels. But it's back to food & exercise plan today. :)
    5 Sep: 207.6
    6 Sep: 206.7
    7 Sep: 206.8
    8 Sep: 206.9
    9 Sep: 208.2 -- Pizza & sodium. I haven't had pizza in weeks and to be honest, when we went to bed last night, both my husband and I felt gross after greasy food and we both said we're looking forward to salads tomorrow. :) This morning I'm going to Instapot a bunch of chicken breasts that we can use on salads and in soup for the week ahead. I'm glad we've detoxed enough to notice how less healthy food feels when we have it. It's been a while since we could tell the difference.

    @ddainiak Sounds like you and your husband had a nice birthday celebration for him and got a beautiful rainbow to boot!

    @ddainiak Thank you - I agree, sodium (at least for me), will show up higher the day after, and then higher still the day after that. At least it came down a bit with today's results. :) And hubby got a birthday rainbow, too? I hope it was a nice night.

    We are going to the beach next week for a few days and I'm going to be good at most times, with a few treats in the mix. We haven't been in years, and we'll also get some walking in to try to balance any heavier meals, but we've started planning what we can buy to have in the hotel room or for lunches (bagged salads, etc). I just can't wait to see the water, it makes me happy.

    I am inspired by those of you that have been working at this and have the historical data to show that with hard work, there is slow but steady success. I look forward to also being able to inspire others so they too stick with this journey too. Thank you for all the support.

    Weight in blue makes me blue because itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    09/11-192.4-(Trend Weight 193.6)- I kept to plan and made sure my calories and carbs were extra low yesterday and it paid off. Luckily I was able to find some things that were high volume and/or high fat to keep me full on less calories and carbs. I got in some extra exercise yesterday too with 41 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT. Now, to have another good day.

    09/12-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.4)- I love it when you can have a day where you are strong. There is no hunger. The meals work out perfectly. The exercise is easy and goes quickly even though the same routine is usually tough. Yesterday was one of those days. Iโ€™m hoping for more of those for myself and for all of you too, my friends. Have a wonderfully strong day yaโ€™ll.
