Starting weight - 85kg (eek) - 187lbs ( 8/1/24)
Goal weight - 65kg - 143lbs
January loss 1.2kg - 2.6lbs

Feb 23 - 83.9 kg - a pretty relaxed day and finished off with steak, mango salsa and a red wine. Our son just told us he is going to propose to his partner while they are on holiday next week. So excited after all the medical worries with our daughter7 -
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. 💖

January Ending Weight 159.8Feb 1: DNW 📝 💦Feb 18: 157 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Whoosh! That was nice to see. Finally got outside for a walk yesterday; it was lovely!
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).
Feb 4: 160.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Beautiful day yesterday. Took out AM walk, went to the thrift store and bought a food scale (forgot to pack mine), 8 shirts, 1pair of pants, and a golf club - all for under $15 dollars. Then our friends came to the house (we are staying in for a couple days while Monty adjusts to the new place). Played pinochle, played farkle, chatted, sat in the sun. Couldn't be any better. We got take out for lunch, but stayed within my calorie goal.
Feb 5: 159.6 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 It's temporary, but I'll take it. We have been staying in the first few days of our vacation so Monty can get used to the new digs - but we have a few outings scheduled in the next few days that will test my willpower! Had a nice day yesterday - working on the Chain of Lakes Trail - it is a lot different than what we are used to - but we will complete it. Basically a walk through the city of Winter Haven. Then we found a trail around Lake Wailes that was nicer for the afternoon. Hung out with the friends again, always a treat. Then watched Oppenheimer - which my husband has been dieing to see. I liked it a lot more than I expected, but am so glad we didn't see it in the movie theater - it's THREE hours long!
Feb 6: 160.2 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦Another beautiful day in Florida. We finished the Lake Wailes trail. One more day with Monty all day to make sure he was comfortable staying alone in a strange home. We think he will be fine. Today, Hubby is golfing this morning. I'm staying in, catching up on MFP, working out. Then we head to an oyster bar for lunch. This evening we are going out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle who winter in Florida and actually live one town over.
Feb 7: 161.4 📝 💦 Tracked everything, but dinner out last night put me over the top - and the sodium! Out again tonight for dinner with the friends. Expect that number to climb before we head home on Friday. Today we are headed to BOK tower - a garden and bird santuary - one of the highest points in Florida (it's pretty flat here), and it's Dog friendly!
Feb 8: 160.6 📝 🥗 💦 Our last day in Sunny Florida. Heading on our drive home tomorrow AM. Yesterday was a nice day - ended up on a different Trail as Greg wanted to try something new (we have been to BOK Tower multiple time on different visits. Went out to dinner again last night, here is the crew.
Feb 9: 159.8 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Feb 10: DNW 📝 💦 One more day on the road and then we'll be home. I packed the scale, so won't weigh in until Monday AM.
Feb 11: DNW 📝 💦 Traveling is a tough one - you would think just sitting in the car all day, I wouldn't be over in the calories - but am ravenous when we get to the hotel and don't make the best choices for dinner. Also, snacking in the car instead of having a healthy lunch. Tomorrow is a new day - back to the routine. I love being on vacation, but it's always nice to get home. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 I am over the moon with this. I weigh the same as I did when I left on Jan 31. The first vacation ever that I didn't gain! It did help that we stayed in a VRBO so I could cook some of my own meals. Now to focus for the rest of the month. Doubt I'll make my 4 pound goal - but I am going to give it a shot!
Feb 13: 160.2 📝 💦 Was over my limit yesterday - abd didn't meet my step goal. Not good way to "get focused".
Feb 14: 158.8 😁👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦 Yesterday was a productive day. Got it all done; we had a big snow storm so didn't leave the house - nothing to distract me from my goals - and got some exercising shoveling snow.
Feb 15: 159.2 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦 Had a nice valentine's dinner with hubby. It was bitterly cold yesterday - so inside all day - I really like my outside walks. There is one park that shovels the trail, hoping it was done so we can go later today if it warms up. It's only 15 degrees now. 🥶
Feb 16: 159 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Still too cold to get an outside walk, I'm watching Young Sheldon on Netflix and caught up on a few episodes on the treadmill. Hubby did a strength workout routine with me yesterday. He thought it was fun - so hoping he will do it with me in the future. It's much more enjoyable with others. Another cold one today - maybe it's telling me it's time to clean the house -now if only there was a challenge for that! HA!
Feb 17: 158.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Snowed again last night. I should have gone to Florida a week later (or stayed another week).
Feb 19: 157.4 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Sat on my butt yesterday most of the day. Did the taxes, watched TV, played on the computer, etc. Another blustery cold day - didn't get outside for my walk. Finally got some motivation in the afternoon and jumped on the treadmill - but just until I heard my 17K buzzer and then jumped off. I understand how my body works - if I eat all of my calories gained by exercise I either stay the same or go up. If I don't eat any - I usually stay the same. The sweet spot for me is to eat half of what I gain by exercise. Walking alone doesn't give me too may extra calories, so I ate every bite yesterday - ! I fool myself sometimes, as I still count that as staying under my calorie goal even though I know that it doesn't make my scale move.
Feb 20: 157 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Productive day yesterday, got all my accomplishments done, cleaned the house, and tried a new recipe. https://www.saltandlavender.com/ground-beef-stir-fry/ I did go over my sodium limit yesterday, but drank plenty of water. Might show up on the scale tomorrow. We'll see.
Feb 21: 157.4 👣 📝 🥗💦 I'm on this new exercise schedule. I read the book Younger Next Year (for women) and am trying to incorporate some of the suggestions. I love my walks, but they suggested mixing it up with long and slow (my long walks), 3 days and Aerobic steps (like Get fit with Rick, or Leslie Sansone walking) 3 days. So I am alternating days - one day long walk, one day aerobics. They also suggested at least threes days of strength - which I was already doing - BUT, I am probably using too little of weights. Yesterday was a long and slow day and the weather cooperated. A beautiful walk outside - Monty was very happy - he's been stuck in the house too long. Switched Bingo night with Mom to tonight. The Wednesday night bingo hall is giving away their big prize this week, so Mom wanted to go to that one. The good news is that the Wednesday night hall does not allow outside food! No goodies all over the table to temp me all night long; the bad news is that it is always packed - harder to win and the people who run it aren't as nice as the Knights of Columbus guys. Wish me luck!
Feb 22: 157.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Another high sodium day, buy way under on the calories. If I'm on track today (I always plan to be LOL!), hoping for some kind of swish tomorrow. We got Subway yesterday for an early dinner before I went to Bingo, so high in sodium. Mom wasn't feeling well, so it was just my sisters at bingo last night - my older sister won a game - I'm not so lucky. Hoping to make it to the beach today for a nice walk by the water; in the winter Dog's are allowed on the beach so we try to get there once a month when the weather cooperates. So far - that's the plan!
Feb 23: 158.8 📝 💦 So much for best laid plans. Yesterday was a wash out. I was out of control. First time in forever; all red. But at least I logged it. Today is a new day and will exceed all my goals. I did make it to the beach - that was lovely. Then we picked up pizza on the way home - had a beer, and the rest is history - munch, munch, munch.

OOPS! Wrong direction on the scale this morning. I think I'm still full of soup? I played pickleball for 2 hours, Threw a softball for 15 minutes, and bowled for 3 hours yesterday. I ate what I thought was a reasonable amount of soup and combined with all that activity I was expecting to maintain or lose.

Hello, it's nice to meet you all! My name is Kat and I'm 32, 5'1". My goals for February are mindfulness around food, mini-exercises throughout the day, and no logging(I get way too competitive with myself and burn out!). SW: 123 | UGW: 110 | No specific goal weight for Feb., just to see consistent downward movement! I'm excited to join you all and stay accountable!
2/8: 122.6
2/9: 121.6
2/10: 121 I'm assuming the water weight is off and now the real work begins. Happy weekend everyone!
2/11: 120.8
2/12: 120.8 I worked out all throughout the day and even did some work outside which got me sweating, so I'm pretty disappointed in the stagnation. I am feeling some muscle growth though so the soreness isn't for nothin'!
2/13: 119.4 This ended up being an inadvertent rest day. I'm still tired and sore, but feeling a bit more ready to get back to it. I hope everyone has a great day!
2/14: 119.2 Happy Val/Gal-entine's Day!
2/15: 119.0 Well I've been very consistent the past few days haha! If that keeps up it'll make predicting timelines pretty easy.
2/16: 118.2 @jm216 Happy Birthday! Tomorrow I'm going on an *all day* drive and shopping trip so I'm trying to make a plan since I'll need to keep my energy up. It may need to end up being a "cheat day"...
2/17: 118.4
2/18: 118.8
2/19: 120.0 Hello again, it's been a busy weekend! I'm feeling incredibly frustrated because I spent nearly 5 hours laboring outside yesterday only for the scale to keep going up. I only seem to lose when I do my mini-exercises, but when I'm actually active all day working hard - nada. We'll see if I can get back on schedule tomorrow.

Hi All!!!
So I slacked off last the last two or so weeks of January.... I stopped logging and checking in, and ate a lot more freely; however I did not gain. This is good.
This is the month that I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, whatever that is, LOL. I'm starting the month at 126.8 pounds; my goal will probably be somewhere around 123-125. I'm hoping to know when I get there. Just to have a concrete goal to shoot for, let's say it's 124.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for February: 124.0 lbs
February 1: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 2: 128.0 Hopefully just a temporary gain from our big meal last night.
February 3: 128.2 💗 I logged
February 4: 127.8
February 5: 126.6 💗 I logged Phew!!
February 6: 127.8 💗 I logged OK, this first week of February is just going to suck as far as weight loss goes.
February 7: 127.0 💗 I logged
February 8: 126.8
February 9: 127.2 💗 I logged
February 10: 127.6
February 11: 128.0
February 12: 127.8
February 14: 127.4
February 15: 127.0
February 16: 127.6. 💗 I logged Ugh, I'm looking at my log and I remember yesterday was 127.2, and the day before was 127.0. I got off somewhere in my log. Anyway, I have not yet rediscovered my motivation. Every morning I wake up super motivated, and then it always goes out the window somewhere between 2:00-6:00 PM. I'm kinda happy with my weight so there's some complacency there too. But I really do want to lose a few more pounds. And I need to get back to exercising. Reassessing my goals here in the middle of the month: I'm not going to be so concerned with losing x amount these last two weeks. My goal now is to just pre-log every morning or the night before. Every night or in the morning, to pre-log the following afternoon/evening.
February 17: 126.8 💗 I logged Pre-logging, herbal tea, and protein powder are my friends.
February 18: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 19: 126.2 💗 I logged Finally, my weight is below my starting weight of the month.
February 21: 125.4 💗 I logged Yes! 🎉🎉
February 22: 124.8 💗 I logged This is a new low for me. 🎉
February 23: 125.2 💗 I logged
February 24: 125.6 Scale, go back down again! LOL.

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).

January Ending Weight 159.8Feb 1: DNW 📝 💦Feb 17: 158.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Snowed again last night. I should have gone to Florida a week later (or stayed another week).
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).
Feb 4: 160.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Beautiful day yesterday. Took out AM walk, went to the thrift store and bought a food scale (forgot to pack mine), 8 shirts, 1pair of pants, and a golf club - all for under $15 dollars. Then our friends came to the house (we are staying in for a couple days while Monty adjusts to the new place). Played pinochle, played farkle, chatted, sat in the sun. Couldn't be any better. We got take out for lunch, but stayed within my calorie goal.
Feb 5: 159.6 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 It's temporary, but I'll take it. We have been staying in the first few days of our vacation so Monty can get used to the new digs - but we have a few outings scheduled in the next few days that will test my willpower! Had a nice day yesterday - working on the Chain of Lakes Trail - it is a lot different than what we are used to - but we will complete it. Basically a walk through the city of Winter Haven. Then we found a trail around Lake Wailes that was nicer for the afternoon. Hung out with the friends again, always a treat. Then watched Oppenheimer - which my husband has been dieing to see. I liked it a lot more than I expected, but am so glad we didn't see it in the movie theater - it's THREE hours long!
Feb 6: 160.2 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦Another beautiful day in Florida. We finished the Lake Wailes trail. One more day with Monty all day to make sure he was comfortable staying alone in a strange home. We think he will be fine. Today, Hubby is golfing this morning. I'm staying in, catching up on MFP, working out. Then we head to an oyster bar for lunch. This evening we are going out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle who winter in Florida and actually live one town over.
Feb 7: 161.4 📝 💦 Tracked everything, but dinner out last night put me over the top - and the sodium! Out again tonight for dinner with the friends. Expect that number to climb before we head home on Friday. Today we are headed to BOK tower - a garden and bird santuary - one of the highest points in Florida (it's pretty flat here), and it's Dog friendly!
Feb 8: 160.6 📝 🥗 💦 Our last day in Sunny Florida. Heading on our drive home tomorrow AM. Yesterday was a nice day - ended up on a different Trail as Greg wanted to try something new (we have been to BOK Tower multiple time on different visits. Went out to dinner again last night, here is the crew.
Feb 9: 159.8 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Feb 10: DNW 📝 💦 One more day on the road and then we'll be home. I packed the scale, so won't weigh in until Monday AM.
Feb 11: DNW 📝 💦 Traveling is a tough one - you would think just sitting in the car all day, I wouldn't be over in the calories - but am ravenous when we get to the hotel and don't make the best choices for dinner. Also, snacking in the car instead of having a healthy lunch. Tomorrow is a new day - back to the routine. I love being on vacation, but it's always nice to get home. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 I am over the moon with this. I weigh the same as I did when I left on Jan 31. The first vacation ever that I didn't gain! It did help that we stayed in a VRBO so I could cook some of my own meals. Now to focus for the rest of the month. Doubt I'll make my 4 pound goal - but I am going to give it a shot!
Feb 13: 160.2 📝 💦 Was over my limit yesterday - abd didn't meet my step goal. Not good way to "get focused".
Feb 14: 158.8 😁👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 💦 Yesterday was a productive day. Got it all done; we had a big snow storm so didn't leave the house - nothing to distract me from my goals - and got some exercising shoveling snow.
Feb 15: 159.2 👣 📝 🥗 🧘♀️ 💦 Had a nice valentine's dinner with hubby. It was bitterly cold yesterday - so inside all day - I really like my outside walks. There is one park that shovels the trail, hoping it was done so we can go later today if it warms up. It's only 15 degrees now. 🥶
Feb 16: 159 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Still too cold to get an outside walk, I'm watching Young Sheldon on Netflix and caught up on a few episodes on the treadmill. Hubby did a strength workout routine with me yesterday. He thought it was fun - so hoping he will do it with me in the future. It's much more enjoyable with others. Another cold one today - maybe it's telling me it's time to clean the house -now if only there was a challenge for that! HA!
Feb 18: 157 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Whoosh! That was nice to see. Finally got outside for a walk yesterday; it was lovely!
Feb 19: 157.4 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Sat on my butt yesterday most of the day. Did the taxes, watched TV, played on the computer, etc. Another blustery cold day - didn't get outside for my walk. Finally got some motivation in the afternoon and jumped on the treadmill - but just until I heard my 17K buzzer and then jumped off. I understand how my body works - if I eat all of my calories gained by exercise I either stay the same or go up. If I don't eat any - I usually stay the same. The sweet spot for me is to eat half of what I gain by exercise. Walking alone doesn't give me too may extra calories, so I ate every bite yesterday - ! I fool myself sometimes, as I still count that as staying under my calorie goal even though I know that it doesn't make my scale move.
Feb 20: 157 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Productive day yesterday, got all my accomplishments done, cleaned the house, and tried a new recipe. https://www.saltandlavender.com/ground-beef-stir-fry/ I did go over my sodium limit yesterday, but drank plenty of water. Might show up on the scale tomorrow. We'll see.
Feb 21: 157.4 👣 📝 🥗💦 I'm on this new exercise schedule. I read the book Younger Next Year (for women) and am trying to incorporate some of the suggestions. I love my walks, but they suggested mixing it up with long and slow (my long walks), 3 days and Aerobic steps (like Get fit with Rick, or Leslie Sansone walking) 3 days. So I am alternating days - one day long walk, one day aerobics. They also suggested at least threes days of strength - which I was already doing - BUT, I am probably using too little of weights. Yesterday was a long and slow day and the weather cooperated. A beautiful walk outside - Monty was very happy - he's been stuck in the house too long. Switched Bingo night with Mom to tonight. The Wednesday night bingo hall is giving away their big prize this week, so Mom wanted to go to that one. The good news is that the Wednesday night hall does not allow outside food! No goodies all over the table to temp me all night long; the bad news is that it is always packed - harder to win and the people who run it aren't as nice as the Knights of Columbus guys. Wish me luck!
Feb 22: 157.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Another high sodium day, buy way under on the calories. If I'm on track today (I always plan to be LOL!), hoping for some kind of swish tomorrow. We got Subway yesterday for an early dinner before I went to Bingo, so high in sodium. Mom wasn't feeling well, so it was just my sisters at bingo last night - my older sister won a game - I'm not so lucky. Hoping to make it to the beach today for a nice walk by the water; in the winter Dog's are allowed on the beach so we try to get there once a month when the weather cooperates. So far - that's the plan!
Feb 23: 158.8 📝 💦 So much for best laid plans. Yesterday was a wash out. I was out of control. First time in forever; all red. But at least I logged it. Today is a new day and will exceed all my goals. I did make it to the beach - that was lovely. Then we picked up pizza on the way home - had a beer, and the rest is history - munch, munch, munch.
Feb 24: 157.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪🫀💦 I worked SO hard yesterday, and it paid off. It usually takes me a couple days to get rid of the water weight gain when I go off plan. It was one of my big exercise days (both cardio and strength day); but I didn't eat any of my exercise calories; I also made 25.5K steps yesterday (a little over 11 miles). I'm not thinking I'll make my four pound goal this month, but when I look at my weight week over week, I have been losing - I'll take that!

02/24-178.4-(Trend Weight 180.2)- A bit of a swing up today which is disappointing but I’m not totally surprised. I got very hungry very late last night and when a handful of almonds didn’t do the trick I made a healthy low cal / low carb sandwich. It put me over on my macros and was too close to bed. But I’m very proud that I didn’t find “off plan” food to fill my belly. Today I am eating the same things I ate yesterday as I have leftovers for lunch and then a whole other leftover dish of another type for dinner. I will try to change my eat times later and hope I won’t need another sandwich tonight! I just want to get rid of those on-plan leftovers!

Hi All!!!
So I slacked off last the last two or so weeks of January.... I stopped logging and checking in, and ate a lot more freely; however I did not gain. This is good.
This is the month that I'm hoping to reach my goal weight, whatever that is, LOL. I'm starting the month at 126.8 pounds; my goal will probably be somewhere around 123-125. I'm hoping to know when I get there. Just to have a concrete goal to shoot for, let's say it's 124.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for February: 124.0 lbs
February 1: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 2: 128.0 Hopefully just a temporary gain from our big meal last night.
February 3: 128.2 💗 I logged
February 4: 127.8
February 5: 126.6 💗 I logged Phew!!
February 6: 127.8 💗 I logged OK, this first week of February is just going to suck as far as weight loss goes.
February 7: 127.0 💗 I logged
February 8: 126.8
February 9: 127.2 💗 I logged
February 10: 127.6
February 11: 128.0
February 12: 127.8
February 13: 127.4
February 14: 127.0
February 15: 127.2
February 16: 127.6. 💗 I logged Ugh, I'm looking at my log and I remember yesterday was 127.2, and the day before was 127.0. I got off somewhere in my log. [***EDITED on 2/24: I see I left out February 13 in my list. Corrected it!!!**] Anyway, I have not yet rediscovered my motivation. Every morning I wake up super motivated, and then it always goes out the window somewhere between 2:00-6:00 PM. I'm kinda happy with my weight so there's some complacency there too. But I really do want to lose a few more pounds. And I need to get back to exercising. Reassessing my goals here in the middle of the month: I'm not going to be so concerned with losing x amount these last two weeks. My goal now is to just pre-log every morning or the night before. Every night or in the morning, to pre-log the following afternoon/evening.
February 17: 126.8 💗 I logged Pre-logging, herbal tea, and protein powder are my friends.
February 18: 126.8 💗 I logged
February 19: 126.2 💗 I logged Finally, my weight is below my starting weight of the month.
February 20: 125.4 💗 I logged Yes! 🎉🎉
February 21: 124.8 💗 I logged This is a new low for me. 🎉
February 22: 125.2 💗 I logged
February 23: 125.6 💗 I logged Scale, go back down again! LOL.
February 24: 124.8. 🎉
