    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.

    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
    Sept. 12- 138.6
    Sept. 13- 138.0 I logged ;)
    Sept. 14- 138.2. I did not finish logging. MIL cooked for us again... whoa, she is such a good cook. How am I ever going to lose weight with these dinners she cooks for us?
    Sept. 15- 137.4. I logged :) That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!
    Sept. 16- 136.4 I logged :) Yesssss! Now to just stay 136ish to the end of the month!

    Today marks two weeks since I was lucky to find this group. This find helped me kickstart a new beginning with MFP. With your support and encouragement, I feel I can continue to pay the attention required for my fitness to improve for the remainder of September and beyond. I look forward to our daily visits.

    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!

    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.

    09/16-190.6-(Trend Weight 192.4)- Thanks so much for all the nice comments yesterday as I dipped into the 180โ€™s. I am sure I will be in and out of them with fluctuations until I hit 187.X, but Iโ€™m on my way. Yesterday was a banner day. It was the lowest calorie day of my zig-zag week. I also switched up my exercise a bit and took a nice but challenging walk. Today is day 3 of no TMI so Iโ€™ve pulled out the Metamucil this morning. That probably explains the uptick. I feel like Iโ€™m really on the ball right now so Iโ€™m running with it. My highest calorie day in the upcoming week will be Tuesday when I travel for my dental cleaning. I will try to keep it within the zig-zag specifications as my experiment with this continues.

    09/17-190.4-(Trend Weight 192.3)- It was a less than perfect day for sure, but I managed to keep the diet reasonable and I got in a few extra minutes of exercise and strength training. Today I need to have a spot-on day even though Iโ€™ll be trying to do that on the 3 hours of sleep I got last night. Ugh!

    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.

    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 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– 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 dinner of his choice.
    Sep 12: 179.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ We ended up going out to dinner on the lake. I had a lovely peach and Burrata salad, but with the glass of beer and dessert (and a couple of hubby's fries), went over my calorie limit. When I got home, I worked off the extra so I could end the day under. This was the view of the lake with a beautiful rainbow.
    Sep 13: 178.6 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“–And look at that! A little normalcy and whoosh! The pantry is back in order - just my office left to clean (my old dining room). It was messy to begin with so it will be nice to get it done. Here's my organized pantry!
    Sep 14: 178.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Trivia last night; made some good choices. I had a burger, without the bun, and a side salad instead of fries. A seltzer with lemon instead of the beer. We tied for third place with a score of 0! LOL. For the last question, you can answer and get it right to double your score for the whole game, do nothing and keep your score, or answer and get it wrong and lose all your points for the game. A lot of teams guessed, we all got it wrong, so we all tied for third. The top two teams didn't answer. Unfortunately, we lost the tie breaker so didn't come up with a prize this week. (They give gift certificates to the restaurant to come back another time). We haven't been in a few weeks, I forgotten what great fun it is.
    Sep 15: 178.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ We made 2 gallons of homemade salsa yesterday with the abundance of tomatoes and peppers in the garden. Yummy; but ate a few chips - made sure I drank plenty of water to compensate and it looks ok so far. Sometimes it shows up the next day though, we'll see tomorrow.
    Sep 16: 177.2 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง˜ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Woo Hoo! I still don't understand the body - but I'll take it. I've offically (for today anyway) lost 50+ pounds since I started this journey in January. Today we are going to the Goodspeed Opera House to see a musical. Every year we get tickets to see some show for my daughter for her birthday (in May). This year she picked "The 12 -Jerusalem. The disciples are in disarray. Torn apart by the unthinkable death of their leader, see how twelve ordinary individuals come together to create one of the most powerful movements ever known. A universal story of love that you will never forget!" Really looking forward to it. Also celebrating Greg's birthday again today with her - He decided Thai Food - so am looking to see what is the best option. Any suggestions?
    Sep 17: 177 ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– Went to my husband's cousin's house today - It's an all day affair. She is in her 90's and lives alone, no children; hubby passed a couple of years ago and she doesn't drive. Greg calls her every day to make sure she is ok, I shop for her groceries and necessities. Unfortunately, she lives an hour and a half away so can't get there as much as we would like. But she is doing well, and fortunately has wonderful neighbors. It's always a nice visit. Had to walk on the treadmill last night instead of my morning walk - managed to get in my 4 miles (my new mini goal), but didn't get my 16K steps.
    Sep 16: 166.8 ๐Ÿ˜ Tonight is bingo night with Mom. I always leave a little wiggle room on the calories when I go, because somehow there is always some kind of dessert that end up nibbling on.

    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.

    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
    Sept. 12- 138.6
    Sept. 13- 138.0 I logged ;)
    Sept. 14- 138.2. I did not finish logging. MIL cooked for us again... whoa, she is such a good cook. How am I ever going to lose weight with these dinners she cooks for us?
    Sept. 15- 137.4. I logged :) That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!
    Sept. 16- 136.4 I logged :) Yesssss! Now to just stay 136ish to the end of the month!
    Sept. 17- 136.6 Two social functions this afternoon/evening; I won't log today. I'll just pick back up tomorrow.
    Sept. 18- 137.8 Not surprised in the increase. Surely all the social eating w/out logging would show up. My goal is to log every day for the rest of the month, including any potlucks/social gatherings/grandma dinners/etc!!

    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.

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.

    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.

    09/18-190.4-(Trend Weight 192.1)-I guess I canโ€™t expect the scale to change every single day. It was a good day and I plan another one today because tomorrow is a travel day which means lots of car sitting and likely lots of sodium and hidden sugars in the restaurant foods. But it too shall pass. No worries. I mixed up my exercise routine with a little dancing last night. Just trying to keep it light and fun! My trend weight is still going down so Iโ€™m happy to see that.

    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.

    We are over halfway through September. I hope this thread continues beyond September. The next few months are the most difficult for me to manage my weight. I love the holiday season but it is full of food temptations. I call it the "Eating Season". Hopefully. with the help of my scale and this weigh-in challenge I can get through the "Eating Season" without gaining weight.

    Sep 4 - Sep 10: 190.0 -185.2 (4.8 Lbs) week-one
    Sep 11-Sep 17 185.2 -184.0 (1.2 Lbs) week-two Total (6 lbs)
    Sep 18: 183.4

    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 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– 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 dinner of his choice.
    Sep 12: 179.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ–๏ธ We ended up going out to dinner on the lake. I had a lovely peach and Burrata salad, but with the glass of beer and dessert (and a couple of hubby's fries), went over my calorie limit. When I got home, I worked off the extra so I could end the day under. This was the view of the lake with a beautiful rainbow.
    Sep 13: 178.6 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“–And look at that! A little normalcy and whoosh! The pantry is back in order - just my office left to clean (my old dining room). It was messy to begin with so it will be nice to get it done. Here's my organized pantry!
    Sep 14: 178.6 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Trivia last night; made some good choices. I had a burger, without the bun, and a side salad instead of fries. A seltzer with lemon instead of the beer. We tied for third place with a score of 0! LOL. For the last question, you can answer and get it right to double your score for the whole game, do nothing and keep your score, or answer and get it wrong and lose all your points for the game. A lot of teams guessed, we all got it wrong, so we all tied for third. The top two teams didn't answer. Unfortunately, we lost the tie breaker so didn't come up with a prize this week. (They give gift certificates to the restaurant to come back another time). We haven't been in a few weeks, I forgotten what great fun it is.
    Sep 15: 178.4 ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ–๏ธ We made 2 gallons of homemade salsa yesterday with the abundance of tomatoes and peppers in the garden. Yummy; but ate a few chips - made sure I drank plenty of water to compensate and it looks ok so far. Sometimes it shows up the next day though, we'll see tomorrow.
    Sep 16: 177.2 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿง˜ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Woo Hoo! I still don't understand the body - but I'll take it. I've offically (for today anyway) lost 50+ pounds since I started this journey in January. Today we are going to the Goodspeed Opera House to see a musical. Every year we get tickets to see some show for my daughter for her birthday (in May). This year she picked "The 12 -Jerusalem. The disciples are in disarray. Torn apart by the unthinkable death of their leader, see how twelve ordinary individuals come together to create one of the most powerful movements ever known. A universal story of love that you will never forget!" Really looking forward to it. Also celebrating Greg's birthday again today with her - He decided Thai Food - so am looking to see what is the best option. Any suggestions?
    Sep 17: 177 ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– Went to my husband's cousin's house today - It's an all day affair. She is in her 90's and lives alone, no children; hubby passed a couple of years ago and she doesn't drive. Greg calls her every day to make sure she is ok, I shop for her groceries and necessities. Unfortunately, she lives an hour and a half away so can't get there as much as we would like. But she is doing well, and fortunately has wonderful neighbors. It's always a nice visit. Had to walk on the treadmill last night instead of my morning walk - managed to get in my 4 miles (my new mini goal), but didn't get my 16K steps.
    Sep 18: 166.8 ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿง˜ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“–Tonight is bingo night with Mom. I always leave a little wiggle room on the calories when I go, because somehow there is always some kind of dessert that end up nibbling on.

    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
    Sept. 12- 138.6
    Sept. 13- 138.0 I logged ;)
    Sept. 14- 138.2. I did not finish logging. MIL cooked for us again... whoa, she is such a good cook. How am I ever going to lose weight with these dinners she cooks for us?
    Sept. 15- 137.4. I logged :) That weigh-in is a miracle considering dinner last night. Nice! I'm encouraged... keep logging!
    Sept. 16- 136.4 I logged :) Yesssss! Now to just stay 136ish to the end of the month!
    Sept. 17- 136.6 Two social functions this afternoon/evening; I won't log today. I'll just pick back up tomorrow.
    Sept. 18- 137.8 Not surprised in the increase. Surely all the social eating w/out logging would show up. My goal is to log every day for the rest of the month, including any potlucks/social gatherings/grandma dinners/etc!!
    Sept. 19- 138.6

    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

    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.

    09/18-190.4-(Trend Weight 192.1)-I guess I canโ€™t expect the scale to change every single day. It was a good day and I plan another one today because tomorrow is a travel day which means lots of car sitting and likely lots of sodium and hidden sugars in the restaurant foods. But it too shall pass. No worries. I mixed up my exercise routine with a little dancing last night. Just trying to keep it light and fun! My trend weight is still going down so Iโ€™m happy to see that.

    09/19-190.0-(Trend Weight 191.9)- I went over to the school to walk the tracks in the hallways of the school for the first time this school year. My handymen cancelled the day so I was able to leave. By the time I left my knees were aching. Luckily I had already done my aerobic dancing. Today is travel so I may get some rest from the exercise. I expect the scale will go up but I know from experience it wonโ€™t last. What I do in the days following is what really matters. I just canโ€™t let it put me on a bingefest. I did really well last time I traveled so I hope to keep up the momentum.

    Today marks day 6 of my working 12 days in a row. My co-manager is on vacation in Africa and I'm holding the fort. (I did take 3 weekends off in a row prior to his vacation...so don't feel too bad for me!).

    During this time I decided to keep track of weighing in, logging, and finishing my logging for the day. I walked both dogs for 3 days in a row then hurt my shoulder...from pulling puppies... although today it feels much better.

    Anyway, logging has always been hard for me consistently...mostly because it puts everything that you put in your mouth right there in black and white.

    I know that I have to get my snacking under control...this is why I can stay consistently below 200 pounds. My first step is to get into the habit of logging everyday, then making small tweaks...like to substitute an apple for one of my many snacks...drink more water before having a snack, etc.

    I decided to share this with you all instead of immediately jumping into munching. This feels much better... Thanks for listening!

    Jill

    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.

    In addition to weighing every day, I've been taking my blood pressure since July 29th. Today my BP was 129/86. Although not perfect yet, it was the lowest it has been since August. Losing weight has been a big factor in lowering my BP.
