It’s amazing what logging everything and exercise can do! Feeling fabulous. 🥰 Time to do some quick exercise with Up to the BEat fit with Gina B on YouTube then it’s time to take down the Christmas tree and decorations before heading back to work tomorrow.

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a while now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty).

Jan 2: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Met my New Year's goal - did a 10K walk yesterday AM. Was ravenous all day, but managed to stay under my calorie limit by 5 calories. I would say a successful day. I'm still .2 pounds away from my lowwest weight (just before Christmas).
Jan 3: 162.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Funny thing happened to yesterday. Greg, Monty and I started the Airline Trail today (I am feeling nostalgic so want to do it again, and we started off with a big one day 6.2 miles. When we got back to the car, Greg noticed he didn't have his wallet. Thought he left it on the counter at home. Got home, no wallet, now we think he must have dropped it on the trail as we were walking, so we drove back to the trail at the half way point. Greg went one way - I went the other looking for the wallet, another 3.7 miles and didn't find it. When we got home - Greg remembered he took the truck out yesterday - left it in the center console. LOL! So, my 6.2 walked turned into 9.9, silver linings I guess! Here are some pictures from the walk (the first time).

Happy birthday, @ozdeelite !
Welcome to even more new faces. Inspiring to see so many people working toward similar goals. Best to everyone having the courage to show up, post weight, and keep going. You can do this! You can see from folks further along in this thread (and other threads), that it takes time, patience, and persistence. But it can be done. Keep going - you've got this!7 -

Hi Stormy,
It’s the very beginning so I expected a decent loss in the first few days. No way this could or should continue but I’m not unhappy with the initial results.
I’ve been juicing, one low calorie meal a day, 19-hour fasting and upped the exercise with gym sessions and tennis every day. The diet is the big change though. I’ll be upping the calories tomorrow to balance out more as 1000 calories a day isn’t enough according to both MFP and my wife!

Hi All! I'm a 46-year-old married mom of five. I started this group in September at 141 pounds (overweight for me at my height) and have lost about 11-12 pounds overall since then. I always gain some weight around Christmas; I love the cookies, truffles, and eggnog etc. I allowed myself to just enjoy those things and slack off some; however, it's time to get back to the routine! My goal for January is to log and weigh every day, and to lose 3 1/2 pounds. I'm setting my goal a tad on the aggressive side because I suspect that some of my gain from the end of December is not only fat but water and such.
Ultimate starting weight 160.0 pounds
January goal: 126.0 pounds
January 1: 129.6 I logged ❄️
January 2: 128.6
January 3: 128.2 I logged ❄️

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” 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 Dec 31st): 183.8
Goal: 179.8 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx**********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************
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.
01/01-181.6-(Trend Weight 180.3)-
01/02-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.4)-
01/03-181.4-(Trend Weight 180.5)- Carbs were a bit high yesterday but calories were in check. I made a large dinner, skipped the dinner roll but had a regular potato instead of sweet potato yesterday. I haven’t had a baked potato in a very long time. I was pretty good on exercise and tried a new walking video that was much faster and longer. I liked it but will have to hope my breathing can keep up. Not enough water or steps overall for the day so that is my goal for today, to improve these two areas. I’ll have to be patient with the scale but we all know that persistence pays off so the goal is to keep moving forward and wait for pay day!
01/04-182.0-(Trend Weight 180.7)- My Christmas Dinner was on the 30th. I always suffer from intense cravings after people-gathering holidays. Last night I satisfied my craving for Pasta. I wish I would have stuck to the roast beef I had planned. I’ll have that tonight, it’s already in the crock pot. I need to be a good girl as the scale is getting out of hand. I’ve been working at taking down the Christmas decorations and all the Christmas trees (5 of them). I hope to finish up today. At least I’m getting lots of steps in and climbing lots of stairs!

@deepwoodslady thank you! I’m really depressed about my weight this year. It is going up again. I haven’t managed to be active this week because I’m in pain and fatigued so I’m just trying to do squats and use dumbbells. Need to get on top of this before it gets worse. It takes so darn long to lose anything and now I’ve got to re lose weight I already lost. 😞 sick of this happening.
How are the rest of you doing? Does anyone else have extreme difficulty with weight loss?

Hi everyone,
Forgive my weakness, but I just can't weigh myself every day - the fluctuations are making me crazy! Basically it's been like this:
DEC 31: 146.2
JAN 01: 146.2
JAN 01: 147.2
JAN 03: 147.4
JAN 04: 148.2
WHAAAT?! I definitely haven't eaten enough to gain any weight, let alone two whole pounds! It's too discouraging and I'm afraid I'll give up!
I will just stick with my weekly weigh-ins every Sunday (on Jill's other board); so my next weigh-in will be Sunday, January 7th.
Best wishes to all! 💗

I don't weigh daily either! It's not great for my mental health. I check my weight once a week. I check in here daily with an update on which goals I worked on. And chatting with everyone is a great bonus 😁3 -
