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.

09/29-188.6-(Trend Weight 189.6)- I was way under calorie but way over carbs. Just not the right food combinations for my macros and it was such a busy day that I didn’t have time to keep tweaking. I wondered what this would mean for the scale. Weight up a tad, trend weight down a tad. Up early this morning for the school bus with DGS. Today I take him in for a haircut as we prep for school pics next week. I love the time I get to spend with him although I always dread the early mornings/lack of sleep on Fridays. Gotta push water today. I realized I’ve not had more than 4 or 6 oz per day for the past couple of days which may have contributed to the explained uptick day before yesterday that I’m still fighting.

09/30-188.2-(Trend Weight 189.5)- Down 3.6 lbs this month, just shy of my 4 lb goal. I am shocked and pleased at the scale reading today after having a horrid snack last night. I hope it doesn’t catch up to me in the coming days. I’m going to work really hard to stay ahead of it. I really want to get to the mid 180’s soon. I’m sure last night was self-sabotage since it was the end of the month and the final reading for the challenge. Luckily I didn’t do too much damage as the day was spent clean eating. Oh, those night time snack monsters! I’m proud of all of us for showing up and for doing what we could when we could. See you all in the next one!

@buckeyebabe7l7 So glad that you are feeling a little better. It must be very difficult watching the little ones when you are feeling under the weather. And I know you - you still got it all done! No rest for the weary right!

Wishing everyone a wonderful and successful October!

For sure...I am not sure I could have kept up but my husband is off work right now because his knee is bad and next week will be getting a knee replacement. So I had his help and was able to manage. Thank God!

Wishing you the same for October!!!!

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.
