    I'm Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". I've yoyo-ed my whole life and I’m looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.

    * February goals:
    * pay attention to my nutrition to make sure I'm eating the correct calories and nutrients
    * continue to weigh/track/log as I did in January- it's working well for me

    I woke up this morning weighed in and saw my own shadow across the scales. I think it is an omen that I will have more losses than gains for the month of February???? x3zq5wkah40f.gif

    Hello, I’m Karen. 🥰I’m 62, 5’6” and I live in eastern Washington State. Just east of Spokane

    My goals for February :
    ⚖️Weigh- in daily
    📝Log daily, MFP and bullet journal
    🙆‍♀️ Continue my personal daily push up/sit up/squat progressive challenge, 2 days a week at the gym, 3x a week on peloton.
    Get back down to under 200 pounds

    Starting weight 2/1 ⚖️ 214.8
    2/2 ⚖️ 215.6. ✍️ way over calories for the day. Logged it all. Putting my food in the diary this morning helped lift the weight off my shoulders and start today fresh. The popcorn probably ∆ my weight today

    Hi all, I'm Kim from Ohio a new member.

    As a Nanny and school Transportation Aide, I have noticed I'm in need of accountability. Eating what's left on the kiddos plate, wonderful cooks and bakers at the bus garage bring in good great food has been difficult to turn away from.
    My goal for this month is to stick with logging all I eat and trying to stay accountable on here. Meet accountability partners. March is my bday month. Hopefully I can lose 8 to 10 lbs by then.

    @kimfurry68 Welcome. It's so nice to have you here. That bus garage food.....well that certainly would be hard to pass up. For starters, maybe you can not worry about saying no. Say yes, to Very Small Portions of Only The Most Tempting. You can always graduate from there later when you get tired of seeing the same old foods. Sometimes when I do this sort of thing I just look at it as a much needed exercise in food control. Something I do need to practice and get good at. Just an idea but I hope it helps.

    Okay, so I need some help here.

    What is on my mind: As a diabetic I want to protect my kidneys (protein is tough on them). However, as an older person over 60 and someone trying to lose weight, I want to protect my muscle.

    When I google my recommended protein intake, all the calculators and manual mathematical calculations put me at about 65 or 66 grams per day. That seems low to me and so very easy to reach. And yet I read all the posts on so many challenges where people are eating protein bars, drinking protein shakes etc. trying to reach their goals. I'm confused. Even Harvard Medical School is recommending 65 gr per my weight.

    I would love it if those of you that have time will chime in on this for me. I'm looking for your opinions as well as your knowledge and/or experience with it. I need to know if I should tweak my macros. Right now I have mine set for 25% which gives me grams that are often much higher than the recommendations.

    Thanks for any help you guys can give. I am posting this on a couple of my challenges and look forward to any and all responses.

    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 February

    ⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal), but will be happy just maintaining this month, as I am on vacation for 11 days of the month.

    Feb 2: DNW 📝 💦 Stiil traveling, scheduled to arrive tonight. Eating terribly on drive down, sure I'll be up from my ending Jan tomorrow.
    Feb 3: 160.6 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Not as bad as I expected. We arrived in Florida, my home for the next 7 days. Beautiful 70 degrees. We are kind of in the city and no treadmill, so think I will be doing most of my steps in front of youtube. We are going to conquer the Chain of Lakes Trail while we are here 4.7 miles (one way).
