My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.

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.
02/01-183.4-(Trend Weight: 183.0)- WTH? I did NOT expect this. Could it be the travel & restaurant from two days ago? Could it be the birthday celebration complete with cake/ice cream catching up? Could it be day 2 of no TMI? Could it be the worst sleep last night that I’ve had in years? Maybe it’s all one big ball of wax (or fat) all rolled up into one. In any case, I feel cheated when I probably shouldn’t. Looks like I’ll be spending much of this challenge chasing my own tail.

02/10-179.0-(Trend Weight: 181.9)- I think I have my dates all messed up but I am trying to weigh on Saturday’s so here I am. I’m not sure where the one on the 5th came from but it should be fixed now. I am down from the 5th but showed a small gain (under a pound) overnight for an unknown reason as I thought yesterday was on target. I ate a moderate day of about 1300 calories and 64 net carbs on my zig-zag diet. Sodium was about 2550 so it was a touch high. Fat and protein was in line or low. I did about 45 minutes of actual exercising and also tackled a home project which really helped me get extra steps in. TMI was good before weighing and my sleep was pretty good too. I know that weight standing still can be typical but an unexplained gain is always confusing. I will just have to trust my trend weight, which continues to go down, that I’m on the right track. I had two pieces of sugar-free dark chocolate last night that fell within my limits. Could that be it? I am glad to be back in the 170’s but it looks like I may be trying to hold on for dear life.

I am thrilled to show a 1.2 lb loss this week after such a hard battle. My final weigh in for February is on leap day in just 5 days. I hope to take a stand and make a mark on my goals.

Goal weigh 64 kg.
7th Dec 2023 83.5 kg
11th Dec 83.1 kg
12th Dec 82.5 kg
13th Dec 82.1 kg
18th Dec 81.8 kg, I need to lose 46 grams a day to reach goal weight by the end of 2024
19th Dec 81.6 kg
31st Dec 81.5 kg, anniversary dinner for my partner and I, and Christmas just delayed goal day by about 10 days, thankfully Christmas only comes once a year
6th Jan, 81.4 kg, New Year indulging delayed goal day by about 6 days. I am now getting into the weight loss proper. I'm tracking my intake and walking a lot.
8th Jan 81.2 kg
25th Feb 80.0 kg
I've decided to aim for goal weight day to be August 24th. Mark your calendars. That's because it means it took 200 days to lose the second half of my complete weight loss. Of course it depends on one thing - my control of how much sugar I eat. Back of an envelope calculation shows I'm currently losing between 82 and 270 grams a day. Those numbers will become more accurate over the next few weeks.

I never figured it that close. If I continue to lose at the same rate, 32.4 grams/day, I should reach goal in
277.5 days, or a little over 9 months.
That's funny. I just hope I make it--ever. Lol1 -
Hi everyone,
Okay, I'm jumping back IN! (If that's okay). I'm afraid I've not been doing so well, goal-wise over these past several weeks; so effective TODAY, I call a personal "DO OVER"! I will be weighing in on Sundays, beginning today:
02/25: 150.2 - Day 1 - Initial stats below:
Today is actually 25 weeks until my 66th birthday and I'm hoping to reach my goal weight of 140 lbs. or less by then in order to get my BMI below 25.0. That means I would need to lose an average of about 7 ounces per week or 0.42 lb. to 0.44 lb. per week. This is entirely doable!😸
Have a great week everyone (last week in February and only 23 days until SPRING!🌱0 -
Right so I feel like I'm just wasting time. I got below 81 kg on 12th January and 6 1/2 weeks later I'm at 80.0 kg today. There are two reasons for that - not tracking my intake (only 14 days tracked) and high dependence on sugary food which is the biggest cause of overeating. So I'm posting my intake numbers and aiming for an average of 6,000 kilojoules. I want to walk 90+ minutes a day most days. I don't actually know what 6000+90 produces - we're going to find out. For uncertainty I'm going to use the simple method of 500 grams divided by the number of scale measurements.
February
26 80.0 kg 45+20+45 minutes walking 6405 kilojoules of food. Today I overate slightly and had the dreaded sugar. Walking period is good.1 -

I waited until the end of the month to update. Not at all happy with February, but it could have been worse! Ready for March. I had only 4 days in January that I consumed alcohol. I need to aim for a dryer March as well. Alcohol is detrimental to weight loss. I know that ...but I also love wine.
I think I'm going to mix up my work out plan a bit as well and see what happens...

@deepwoodslady ~ Looks like you finished the month strong! Way to go. Conquer March!
@threewins ~ Good Luck with your target date of 8/24! Don't beat yourself up when the scale is not cooperating...(or we are not cooperating🙂 ) just take it one day at a time. This journey is forever!
