Oh my god!! I am almost back to where I started. I am 9 months sober and sometimes I eat ice cream when I want to drink alcohol. I ate a lot of ice cream on vacation. Although it did not show up on the scale, I am proud of how well I honored my health on vacation.

Pretty much same
Still being a caterpillar. Eating everything on the weekends. Sporadic excersice.
Good news is the puppy is getting bigger and bigger so it needs more walking. It is in that charming stage where it eats shoes.

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 Aug 31, 2023 ): 191.8
Goal Weight: 187.8 (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.
09/01-193.2-(Trend Weight: 195.0)-
09/05-192.0-(Trend Weight: 194.3)-
09/12-191.2-(Trend Weight: 193.4)- Weather turned quite chilly now for the past week. I’m hoping on Indian Summer but we shall see. It’s been a week of ups and downs but I finally reigned it in and am seeing more progress.
09/17-190.4-(Trend Weight: 192.1)- My trend weight continues to drop which means I am doing something right. 1 pound down this week. Of course, I wish it were 2, but “if wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches.” Have a great week my friends. See you next Monday.

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

I've been completely out of the loop with this challenge. I had a total knee replacement on July 19. In Aug my special needs daughter developed a kidney stone which will be destroyed with lithotripsy on Oct. 9 and was in the ICU with sepsis for a day and hospital for three more days. Yesterday we went to the ER with a large blood clot in her thigh. Also I've had a lot of planned work on my house while dealing with unplanned health crises.5 -

Much pain and generalized inflammation over the past several days, but still grateful the scale stayed put even at the evident increase in fluid and bloating. Hopefully the reading goes down once things are under control.3 -

@jedaschultz I'm sending UP prayers and sending OUT good vibes to you and for your entire family. Don't forget to take care of yourself too during these crisis'.1 -
Hi. I’ve been really busy with work and haven’t been able to devote as much time to food prepping and grocery shopping the way I normally do. I find it’s key to success. I have continued to keep up the walking however, and it’s so much more enjoyable now that a hint of Autumn is in the air. The weight loss has leveled off, and it’s getting more difficult to lose as much weight as I was during the summer. The scale is still moving in the right direction though, so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone as we head into the final week of this challenge.

@Juslilly I'd say you're doing just fine! It's normal for the weight loss to level off, even if you keep doing the exact same thing, because your calorie deficit is getting smaller relative to your current weight. You know, eating x calories at 200 lbs gives you more of a calorie deficit than eating the same amount of calories at 175 lbs. All perfectly normal and good. I always love seeing your updates because you've made such nice steady progress over the summer.
@jedaschultz & @zappa2017 Sorry to hear of your health issues (and your daughter's as well, Jeda). I hope you all feel better soon, so you can enjoy the fall and get back to your regular routine.
@deepwoodslady You're SO CLOSE to green! I'm convinced you can get there this month. Go for it!
@Cheery83 Your puppy's escapades have been making me smile for weeks. This too shall pass. Having a sense of humor certainly makes things easier, haha
@denanowotny Congrats on your 9 months' sobriety, that is an awesome accomplishment. I highly recommend this book: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Emotional Eating -- it has helped me solve my ice cream (and other sugar) problem once and for all. Hang in there, you got this!4 -
@takinitalloff I suppose that’s true. I just can’t see doing anything more than what I’ve been doing to move the numbers on the scale any faster. I am giving it my all, so it’s going to have to be enough. Thanks for the encouragement. Congratulations on reaching your Sept goal early. Heck of a job! Proud of you and the hard work you have put into it.2
