My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 176.2
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Sept 30th): 188.2
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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
10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight: 189.2)- It was a very good day yesterday. Everything fell into place. Diet, Exercise, Water, Potty. Wouldn’t it be nice if every day went so smooth?
10/02-187.0-(Trend Weight: 189.0)- I stuck to my plan pretty well again yesterday although I did have a hard time getting in enough calories before I ran out of carbs and fat for the day. Both of those are important since I’m diabetic (carbs) and a heart patient (fats) so I’ve got to figure out how to make better choices I think that won’t put me over on the latter two. Sometimes I look ahead and think how far I have to go, other times I look back and see how far I’ve come. I like it much better when I see the cup as half full and I’ve been in that place lately so it is good. I am wishing you all the very best of luck this round. It’s a tough round with all the foodie holidays coming in the next 90 days but we got this, right? I’m your biggest cheerleader.

I do better when I weigh and track calories but I find it difficult to continue this habit. I am not sure why. Although I eat healthy and exercise, I also binge. I have quit this addiction many times and have learned a lot about myself.

Will join, again, in November 2023...
Taking a break for a bit to get health back on track for October 2023. Haven't been counting calories and weight has gone up due, I think, to quitting smoking, completely. So, very happy about not smoking on the positive side! It was more important to me than losing weight, right now. Good luck for October, see you in November!6 -

I would like to invite you (and anyone else interested) to check out the Ultimate Accountability Challenge. The focus of the UAC is on building healthy daily habits, rather than on weight (loss) and numbers. I've been a member of the challenge since July and it has helped me so much in re-framing what I'm doing (and also in losing weight, although that is not a requirement to join). It's a friendly and supportive group, too. Come check it out and see what you think.2 -
@anneliz35 Congrats on breathing clean air, that's wonderful
Well done. See you in November. 3 -
@denanowotny I'm a binge eater too. It's maddening. 😕4

Sorry you're having a rough week... this, too, shall pass! I will admit I got a little giggle out of your comment that you're "down from 200 lbs. on July 1 2024." Welcome to the future In all seriousness though, I keep thinking it's 2024, too. I've been struggling to get the date right all year this year. 3 -

It's water. If you gain that much in one day. I know it's hard to remember that. But there is where little chance that you ate the 21 00 calories needed to gain 6 pounds.Bemybestby60 wrote: »STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP(MY FITNESS PAL): Nov 17, 2016 200 lbs
