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! 💗
Carole
@Walela617 I will tell you what helps me a whole lot.... and what got me hooked on daily weighing... I use a graph that tracks the trend, not just the daily weights. The trend line shows whether your weight is trending up or down, despite the fluctuations. It's not just a simple line graph, which really doesn't tell you anything other than what you already know. But it does the math to show the overall trend. If you weigh-in one day and your weight is up, but the trend line on the graph is still going down, it means your program is still working. I don't know if I explain it very well. I will show you my graph for the past 3 months. There are many weights that are above the trend line, but the line is still headed down, until right after Christmas (when I took a break from logging and ate all the cookies, truffles, heavy food, and eggnog), when my weight was trending up. Now it's about to start trending down again.
I'm using weightgrapher.com. But there are many others. Not trying to pressure anyone into using it; you have to do whatever works for you! But anytime I hear someone getting discouraged by daily fluctuations, I want to tell them about trend weight. I love entering my daily weights now because I can see what's going on better than before.

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.

01/05-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Back to my school bus schedule for DGS in Kindergarten. Up at 6:15 which is about 4 hours earlier than usual so I typically do not weigh on Fridays. Yesterday I worked on finishing up removing and packing up the Christmas décor. So many steps! It felt like the old days when I worked before retirement!
01/06-183.0-(Trend Weight 180.5)- I have not been doing well since Christmas. I have let the festivities get the best of me. I have abused the leftovers. I have done way more sitting than moving. It’s time to get my butt in gear. I usually get “on a roll” and do well. I go in streaks and right now I’m on a bad one. It’s time to get back on the good side of the tracks. I know I can do this if I try harder. Sometimes I just get burned out. Today I take my grandsons out for haircuts and then to lunch. I think I will just watch them eat and not order anything. I can eat at home later. I can’t afford (physically) to have a bad day today.

They won’t do it at their homes, but insist on coming here🤔. They know what they’re doing👵🏻.

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). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

December Ending Weight 164
Jan 1: 163.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Happy New Year!
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).
Jan 4: 162.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦
Jan 5 : 163.4 👣 📝 💪 💦 Couldn't sleep, got up, raided the pantry. When I posted last night it triggered me to stop, but a little too late. Today is my rest day. Off to visit my husband's cousin, celebrate Christmas. Will try to get a small walk in this afternoon. Won't be able to weigh everything, but we are bringing lunch with us, so should be able to estimate and log everything.
Jan 6: 162.8 📝 🥗 Spent yesterday at my husband's eldery cousins house -5 hours in a car, and sitting all day with her - so not much movement yesterday. I did log everything, and used estimates for measuring. I jumped on the treadmill when I got home - got 2 miles in - counting it as my rest day.
Jan 7: 162.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Just a quiet day at home - hubby was out all day. Finished the book I was reading, waiting for the winter storm to arrive - it came - not as much as expected. Just enough to make it pretty, and for me to get a little strength exercise today shoveling the driveway, but not enough to kill me. Actually looking forward to it. Probably won't get an outside walk today.
@jm216 Thank you for sharing the video. I'm always looking for a new channel to add to my list of favorites.
I you want another "step" like channel - check out "Get Fit with Rick" - he's similar to the fitnessguyuk.

I am excited to be in this group. As I've gotten older, it seems like the health journey is a little lonely. I have a lot on my plate now and my goals are to move 30 minutes, log my food daily, and stay within my calorie goals. Good luck to you all.5

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
