    I knew darn well that last week was a weird fluke of being dehydrated and literally hungry. Keeping up with tracking for the last 3 weeks which is a big deal for me - it's amazing the difference it makes!!

    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)-

    09/19-190.0-(Trend Weight: 191.9)- I’ve been feeling grateful for the losses on the scale but am very excited about my trend weight changes. It really affirms that I’m on the right trajectory and that some of the things I am doing are really working overall. I don’t think I will make my goal for September since having to post such a large overnight gain on the 1st of September, but I’ve reduced my weight every single week since then and I’m happy about that.


    09/26-187.6-(Trend Weight: 190.1)- I have exercised a little more and a little harder for most of this past week. On the food-front, most days I actually have a hard time eating enough calories. That seems very strange when I am eating a lot of healthy fat foods which tend to have more calories. I guess when they say that fat fills you up, it’s true. It must be helping me to cut my portions. Anyway, I am tweaking my MFP diary to make sure I get as close to my calorie goals as possible. I don’t want to slow up my metabolism by eating too little! I am still experimenting with zig-zagging too. It is going pretty well.

    09/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


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

    Fat do fill for certain. when I started to purposely add fat, Losing fat became easier.
    Especially with me being a lower weight than before. Yes full fat things are high calorie. However they are worth it in the long run.

    @deepwoodslady and @Lullaby2021 I second the fat = fullness thing. I eat a low-carb, high-fat diet and the weight is coming right off and I never feel deprived or starved. No cravings either. (I do make sure to get mostly plant fats, from olive/walnut/flaxseed oils + seeds and nuts. Plus fish and meat, and limited dairy/eggs.)

    September Start Weight:133.7
    September Goal Weight:131.8lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight:122lbs

    Septemeber5th:133.7lbs
    September 6:134.1lbs(+0.4lbs) Had a complete high sodium week. I ate an average of 2,700mg seven days. yesterday particularly 2,900mg. So I'm not at a lower weight this week. Working to get my averages down to the recommened 2,300mg per day.

    Septemeber 12:134.7(+0.6lbs) for a total (+1.0lbs) up to date.I figure I'd be up or close to same from last week weight. Body feels a bit heavy. Is holding onto water for repair, of a rough leg workout,Constipation,and not enough sleep.I still have tomorrow to weigh in also. Don't think much more will change..
    September 13:134.4lbs(-0.3lbs) Not much has changed from yesterday. It's Nothing but water loss. Hope for some real fat loss later in this month.

    Septemeber 19:134.2
    September 20:133.1(-1.1lbs) I wasn't expecting any lower. Expected to be a much heavier weight. with all the extra salt, carbs, and sugar I was eating. Also I over ate my calorie goal by a lot. For 5 days leading up to my two weigh ins. which were yesterday and today. My calories had averaged about 1,950 everyday for seven days. The week before.I was very hungry and crave.
    Now I am (1.3lbs)away from my September goal .

    Septemeber 26:132.5(-0.6lbs)
    Septemeber 27th:132.7(+0.2lbs)
    I've lost a total of 1.0 pound this month.Ofc I know this isn't a true reflection. Because my women cycle(water retention+very bloated). It'll be here sooner than later. Didn't make my goal of 131.8..off by (0.9) lbs. there's always next time to get it. I'm closer to it than before : ).
