Hi, my name is Beth, I live in the UK, Manchester. I want to start at beginning of January. I’ve not been very well so today I start trying to lose a bit of weight. I’ve steadily been putting on weight the past year since I had my 40th birthday blow out and I’ve just not been motivated, but now I’m not feeling like myself anymore, I want to trim down for summer and going to Glastonbury festival so when I look at photos I can say I felt like my old self again!!! My old self who feels good and is fit and healthy !
So, here goes…
Monthly Habits:
Log all my food 😋
Work out 3x/week 🏃♀️
Drink more water💧
No alcohol Mon-thurs 🥂
Self Care Activity 🧶
Missed the first week !
Day (7) 68kg ✅✅✅✅👎

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

First week: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!
Wk1: 1/1/24:
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

1/7: Met my goals for the first time in a year and a half. Yay! On to week 2!
1/5: I know that this is mostly adjustment of bloat from the holidays, but it's encouraging to see the number drop. A good boost, but the real work will start when the number stabilizes or goes up.
1/3 Yay! Holiday bloat is going, better habits starting. It's as important for me to learn to eat correctly as to lose this weight. I always eat "healthfully" right through dinner and then pound the snacks after dinner, usually more calories in junk than in my daily meals. So my goal this time is to change this self-defeating- and self-deluding- habit.5 -
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.
Jan 8: 163.6 ☹️👣 📝 🥗 💪 Doesn't make sense, but that is what the scale says today - so that's what I am posting.
Jan 9: 163.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Had some salty soup (was delicious), so expected the scale to stay the same or go up and it did. Went to Bingo with mom last night - won the door prize ($10). Yahoo. Mom seemed a little down yesterday, hoping all is ok. The arthritis in her hip has been bothering her for years, they give her injections - but the last one didn't really help much. She has her annual appointment with her doctor today - hoping they can figure something out so that she isn't in so much pain everyday.6 -

Jan. 2- DNW
Jan. 3-182.4 lbs. fitness class
Jan. 4-181.2 lbs. morning swim
Jan. 5-182 lbs. bad night, didn’t sleep, so ate. Really weird behaviour as I really want to lose 3 or 4 lbs. before I go on a cruise at the end of January. Smarten up Mel🫨! Anyway, the good news is I swam for an hour this morning and am determined to get back on track. Have 2, sweet, 10 year old granddaughters coming over for a sleepover over today. They won’t do it at their homes, but insist on coming here🤔. They know what they’re doing👵🏻.
Jan. 6- 181 lbs. busy, fun day with granddaughters. Girls baked a yummy cake yesterday but I didn’t eat any. Good for me😢.
Jan. 7- DNW, not my best day, very tired
Jan. 8- 181.6 lbs. expected this. Visited friend last night, wine and cheese. Osteoporosis fitness class today. I’ll never give up. Need to refocus on eating habits. It’s one week into January and I’ve gained, not lost. Going to plan meals and start cooking again. That usually works for me. I enjoy cooking.
Jan. 9- 179.6 lbs. whoo whoo!🤩 Finally broke into the 170’s. I hope it stays.

Morning All,
Had a weird day yesterday as I was too busy in Dallas to stop so didn’t eat until 6pm. Thought the low calorie count, higher steps and gym session would see me right but alas, up I went. Did buy fancier new scales yesterday so this may be more accurate a measure. Either way, will keep on the case today. Punishing myself by not going to the breakfast at the hotel.
1/1 217.3 😱
1/2 212.7 (-4.6)
1/3 208.5 (-4.2) (-8.8)
1/4 206.7 (-1.8) (-10.6)

1/8 205.6 (-0.3) (-11.7)

Hope everyone has a great day!
Cheers,

We got a walk-in tub back in Dec. It was supposed to be for my wife because she uses the tub and I prefer the shower. I have to admit I
the walk-in tub. I still prefer the shower most days but the tub is like a mini-hot tub. It is a freshwater, low-maintenance modern miracle. It pairs well with all of the fun I've been having with pickleball, bowling, and softball. I play hard and it helps to soothe my sore muscles. I am a lucky man!

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 ❄️
January 6: 126.6 I logged ❄️
January 7: 127.2
January 8: 128.8 I logged ❄️
January 9: 126.6 My weight sure is flopping around a lot, but that's pretty normal when I've been eating a lot and am finding my way back to the routine.

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.

01/06-183.0-(Trend Weight 181.2)-
01/07-183.0-(Trend Weight 181.3)- Pizza yesterday that didn’t help my cause but I managed to keep it under my allotted calorie and carb limits. I did get off my lazy you-know-what and get some exercise in. Today I will work to improve my diet choices. The holidays are over and it’s time to get into the swing of things again.
01/08-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I woke up to a big disappointment. I got on my scales and they kept flipping from 174.8 to 175.4 which I know is impossible at this time. I haven’t even had TMI so they should be the same or even up slightly from yesterday’s weight. Also, it did not change over and show me the fat %, Water %, and all the other data it usually gives. It just went black after the weight every time I tried it. All the functions worked perfectly yesterday. I didn’t have another set of AAA batteries so I borrowed some from my TV remote and it still would not work properly. I’m afraid it’s time for a new scale. This one only lasted two years at most. Strange that it stays nicely lit but won’t perform. Anyway, I’ll be scouring Amazon for a new one today so I won’t be able to weigh until it comes in. I must stay diligent and not let my brain go into free-for-all mode just because I don’t have to weigh for a few days. Yes, I have common sense, but that could very easily happen anyway so I am going to pre-log all my food as soon as I am done posting on my challenges to help me stay in line. I will also force myself to exercise today as I could possibly get lax on that too, thinking I’m getting away with murder with no scale. It kind of feels like the teacher is absent today and I have a brand new very young substitute. As far as I think I have come in this weight loss journey, boy am I ever weak and boy oh boy, do I EVER have such a long way to go. Sometimes the physical part is easier than the mental part! Have a good day my friends. I am buckled down for our 6 – 10 inches expected snow storm. I went out yesterday for all the fresh stuff – eggs-bread-milk so my son & I are prepared.

Hi , I’m Sam (Samantha) 53yrs, 5ft 4 and from Adelaide in South Australia
I am really hoping to stick at this, this time around and lose the weight that should never have gone on in the first place
I aim to weigh and log in daily for accountability and it looks like this is the place to do it
Starting weight - 85kg (eek) - 187lbs
Goal weight - 65kg - 143lbs
January
8 - 85kg (187lbs) - 7km walk and food logged
9 - 84.6kg - 7km walk - got side tracked reading a book last night and did not log my dinner or post here so am posting this morning after I smacked my hand

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!!)
01.09.24 - 163.6
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)
