Hello Downsizers.

I'm Darlene, 63-years-old, retired since 2020, married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson) and one goldendoodle (Monty). In January I vowed lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, and take some time for me for a change. Something actually clicked this time (have tried numerous times in the past), and I am more determined than ever to meet my goals. I started at 228 pound, and am currently around 171 (57 pounds lost). I am just a couple pounds away from leaving the obese stage for good. My ultimate goal is to get to ideal (another 30 pounds - give or take a few).

My November goals:

• Lose 4 pounds (4 pounds is always my goal) which would also move me from obese to overweight ⚖️
• Get 200 miles logged on my fitness tracker - I was on a mission to get 2,023 miles in 2023. I will make that goal the first week in November - so now upping it to 2,400! 👣
• Strength Train - 3 days a week💪
• Flex train - 1 day per week 🧘
• Continue with couch to 5K (I'm on week 3) - I do two rounds of each week - 3 times a week🏃‍♂️
• Log Daily 📝
• Stay under my calorie range 🥗
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water daily 💦
• Read daily 📖
• Do something fun or creative daily 🧶 🖍️🎮 🎉
• Be better about checking in daily with this thread! ✅

@lindamtuck2018
Can I change my weigh in days to Sunday please? My new job has caused me to be late on weigh ins, so Saturday has become a challenge for me

Hi there! Finally able to type more than three words now I'm on my computer haha.

I am going into my second month here really (i joined the month before I think but I wasn't quite ready so it doesn't count)

Last month I started a medical bariatric program which is a specific food plan with weekly group therapy sessions. Just before starting the program, I hit my highest weight ever, at nearly 400lb. My physical health was a mess- barely could walk, can't bend, painful to get in and out of bed, personal hygiene being an impossible task at times.

I am down nearly 25lb already and feeling some benefits. I can't wait to see what happens in the coming weeks and months!

I have an important event in February where I have to fly to Utah. I have to buy certain clothes at that time and I would love to be a couple of dress sizes down.

Goals for November:

* Be in the 350's (about a 13lb loss, so a big task)
* Average 7,000 steps a day
* Swim/Youtube workout 3x a week

Non weight loss related goals
* finish current school course
* read scriptures daily, at least 1 chapter.
* daily gratitude

Oct 30: 🏃‍♂️👣💦💪📝🥗 🧶 🖍️🎮 18K Steps (yesterday's accomplishments). Our morning walk yesterday got finished early - started to rain about 2.5 miles in - had to finish it on the treadmill (not as fun). Today will be the same - raining all day. Something about being in the fresh air that makes the walk so much more enjoyable. On Monday nights I accompany my 81-year-old mom to bingo at the knights of columbus hall. Tonight is a special bingo night - Halloween bingo. Most will dress up, and they give candy as well as money to the winners (and to us losers as well). I will be a doctor, mom will wrap her head up in gauze and be my patient.

Congratulations Downsizers for being on top of the leaderboard!
