    @mnhughes22 Don’t drive yourself crazy with your goal number. Losing 22 lbs over 11 weeks is an excellent result. Life happens. You dealt with the unexpected issue, and you still get to record a 4.5oz/day weight loss for the summer (so far). That’s 2lbs/week! Keep up the good work!

    Thank you Jeda for continuing to post these challenges. You always give me hope.

    I’m 76, from B.C. Canada. Have a terrible track record of never completing these challenges but committing to this one. My Life Goal is to remain fit and active well into my 80's. I love nature walks, kayaking and biking but recent arthritic and other muscle issues have been a challenge. Allowed “life” and other obstacles ( habitual procrastinator ) to interfere with a great event I’d registered for but had to withdraw from. Recognizing that I can’t ‘push through’ like I used to be able to do even 8 years ago has been hard.

    My highest wt was 183; two years ago I managed to get down to 156, but then a slow backslide began. April of this year I saw 173.6 ☹ . Currently yo-yoing in the mid 160’s; Wt Loss Goal for this challenge is to lose 10 lbs and return to 156.
    SP highest wt: 183
    MFP: Joined June 2021, 175lbs.
    Challenge Starting Wt: 166
    Challenge Goal: 155

    July 3: 166
    July 10: 167.6
    July 17: 168.6; July 19th recognized that long term use of MiO water flavorer was causing inflammation which was the cause of total body aches and pains & stiffness ( hard to bend to touch the floor).
