    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. 💖

    My Goals for January

    ⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal)
    👣17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
    📝 Log Daily
    🥗 Stay under my calorie range
    💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
    🧘‍♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
    💦 6+ glasses of water

    👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦

    Highest Weight 228

    SW Dec: 228 | Jan: 217 | Feb: 212 | Mar: 207.6 | Apr 200.2 | May 194.8 | Jun: 189.6 | Jul: 187.4 | Aug: 179.8 | Sept: 174.2 | Oct: 169.6 | Nov 164.6 | Dec 164

    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.
    Jan 8: 163.6 ☹️👣 📝 🥗 💪 Doesn't make sense, but that is what the scale says today - so that's what I am posting.

    Jude, 66YO, 5'2" SW 147

    Hi, this is my first time in this challenge and I'm very happy to be here! I'm 66 YO, 5' 2" and officially overweight (again). I've dieted since I was 11 YO and my mom had a chart on the broom closet wall. I've been through the yo-yo weight gain and loss too many times and it's not healthy. Been as high as 165 (2007), as low as 115 (2008). I gained and lost 15-20 lbs at least 3 times in the last 15 years and that's self-defeating- and not healthy. My main goal now is to lose the weight (yes!) AND change my habits to a sustainable lifestyle that allows me to eat well and maintain my fitness.

    Wk 2: 1/8/24:
    My goals for this week:
    continue my exercise plan
    tea after dinner- no food after
    weigh every day- and be aware it won't always make me "happy"
    log in here every day

    1/8: 142.6
    1/9:
    1/10:
    1/11:
    1/12:
    1/13:
    1/14:

    1/8: First week of my first challenge down! Weighed every day, which is a huge step for me! Learning to use that number as a signal, not a moral judgment. Also, making Monday morning my end of week was a good change- I checked my portions all weekend, made new and interesting recipes that changed things up. Learning to make this a sustainable way of life, not a diet! Only took me 66 years!

    @ jm216: I love this group too- super encouraging, positive and helpful. Thank you for being here!


    Week 1: 1/1/24:
    1/1:
    My goals for this week:
    * to the gym 4-5 times a week (keeping consistent)
    * tea after dinner- no food after.
    * weigh every day- which I avoid and then gain
    * log in here every day


    1/1: 146.6
    1/2: 145.8
    1/3: 144.2
    1/4: 144.2
    1/5: 143.2
    1/6: 143.4
    1/7: 142.6

    1/7: Met my goals for the first time in a year and a half. Yay! On to week 2!

    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 ❄️
    January 4: 127.4 The scale was acting wonky today... it did this last month but settled out and started acting normal again.
    January 5: 128.6 I logged ❄️

    Billy and Darlene, you have both turned weather-related problems into opportunities.

    Billy your progress has been amazing. Losing 11.7 pounds already this year is epic. I applaud your progress and envy your weather. Don't let the rain dampen your spirit and take advantage of your weather to have fun playing tennis outdoors in the AZ sun.

    Darlene, you have turned walking into a healthy lifestyle that everyone should appreciate. You are an inspiration to us all. You even turned a snowstorm into an exercise opportunity. You are my hero Darleen. You put the FUN into FUNctional Fitness.

    Hello, I’m Heidi. I’m 55, 5’5” and I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area.

    My goals for January:
    1 - Weigh in daily
    2 - Begin light cardio/stretch/weight exercises
    3 - Maintain current weight or lose a little

    Weight:
    01.01.24 - 165.9 (.1 over my post surgical low)
    01.02.24 - 166.5 (swelling is going back up)
    01.03.24 - 167 (swelling is continuing to go back up)
    01.04.24 - 167.5 (calling surgeon to see why I am blowing up like a balloon)
    01.05.24 - 167.2 (surgeon says I am okay - here's to hoping it was just water retention!)
    01.06.24 - 166 (much better)
    01.07.24 - 165.1 (almost back to my post surgical weight)
    01.08.24 - 164.2 (swelling weight gain GONE plus .7 more!!)

    Exercise:
    1 - Started small stretches (arms above head, side twists) which are going well. The pulling on my
    incisions was horrible at first but are less so after a week. I also started doing some modified
    bridges in the hopes that my healing abdominal muscles would start strengthening up. I am
    walking much better and even walked the entire trip to Costco and pushed the cart. The hubby
    still won't let me lift much except the small laundry basket!

    Highest weight Sep 2004: 315
    Gastric Bypass weight Jan 2005: 281
    Lowest weight Nov 2005: 142 (told to gain weight)
    Highest recent weight Jun 2023: 228.8 (lost and gained throughout the years - oops)
    Skin removal surgery weight Nov 2023: 175
    Goal weight: ??? (I'm okay where I am but wouldn't mind losing a little more)
