Here we go. Starting weight 205 (had a fun time in NYC though). Shooting for that 15 lb loss. Wouldn't be upset about more. I'll check in on Mondays.
02/05: 205. Let's get it!
02/12: 201. A fair bit of that was just not having all the vacation food in my guts. And losing all that salt related water weight.
02/19: 204. Kinda bounced off that 200# floor. I was right at 200 for a couple of days, then food happened. I've hit that stage in weight loss where my workouts are suffering. Lifting much less weight despite still going to the gym regularly. My joints ache. Had to do a bit of a refeed to feel better about the workouts, but it had consequences.
02/26: 199!!! Finally under that 200 mark. I fluttered between 196.5 and 199.5 over the last few days, so I'll take it!9 -

Hello all
I’m late to join as February is almost over, but I have had so much success here before, I’m back!
I have 68 days until I go back for my 6 month testing/appointments at the Mayo Clinic and I need to lose the 10ish pounds I have gained from them tripling my prednisone dosage in October. I have been voraciously hungry. 😩.
Anyway, I’m committed. Ideally I should be less than 197 fully clothed by May 6. I actually need to refocus and lose about 50 pounds, but one step at a time…

Ok well I didn't do great for February but I will take it.

Good: I did lose 2.2 lbs. I have drastically cut back on alcohol, even having zero drinks the last 8 days. This obviously helped with mindless snacking that usually accompanies drinking.
Not so good: Didn't exercise as much as I should. Too much sugar. Too many carbs.
Goals for March: Lose 5.8 lbs. Eat as clean and unprocessed as possible. I have a physical April 6 and want my blood work and weight as good as they can be.
Overall, I am pleased.9 -
For February I released 1.6 lbs
Next month I'm visualizing a few more
✅ February 1st: 124 released 1.6 lbs
✅ March 1st: 122.4
Best wishes as we continue our journey

My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Jan 31): 181.6
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 169.6
CHALLENGE ACTUAL ENDING WEIGHT:
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
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)-
02/06-183.0-(Trend Weight: 183.2)-
02/13-182.0-(Trend Weight: 181.5)-
02/20-179.4-(Trend Weight: 180.6)-
02/27-179.4-(Trend Weight: 180.2)- 7 whole days of all we go through on these journeys and not one dribble or drool of progress. The night time snacking has really gotten to me during this past week and there have been some emotional situations to deal with. But I had hoped that my good habits were a bit stronger. My meals have been on target and my exercise pretty steady. It’s the night time snacking, specifically the cravings for chocolate. I am no closer to conquering that demon than I was 20 years ago. Sugar, Chocolate. Pure Evil and they don’t fight fair in the battles. I am happy to see that my trend weight has dropped this week which reflects that I did hit some good weights along the way. I must strive for lasting results and better habits. It needs to be a sustainable way of life.
02/29-177.0-(Trend Weight: 179.5)- My lowest weight since the 2020 Pandemic shutdown! For the next couple of months I will be eyeing the 160’s and dreaming, longing and yearning for that new decade which will bring me even better health. Nice round everyone! The final count is a 4.6 loss for me in February. I will continue to make a 4 lb loss my monthly goal as I would love to lose 4 pounds a month even on the months when it just seems my body has a different idea. So any progress is very good and I am very happy to end with a loss and make goal this time around.

Still on Vacation in Kona Hawaii. Have been here for just over 2 weeks and are still here for 6 more days. No weigh-in so hopefully didn't gain to much weight. I'm little scared to step on the scale next week when I get home.
I did try weigh myself on a scale at Walmart but it was really off. Might try again somewhere else or adjust the scale at Walmart.4 -

Wow! I'm seeing some great losses this week on the board! Looks like many of you are ending February really strong. I worked out at the gym for 7.5-8hrs this week but no budge on the scale. I'm just going to continue to work at it, eat clean and push through. Here's to March!

03/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- No weigh Friday as I get up extra early to get grandson ready for the bus. I only weigh later if I lay back down but today I can’t. Also I take my once-per-week Fosamax on this day with 8 oz of water upon waking. Yesterday was a good clean eating day but hardly any movement or exercise so my calorie burn overall was very low. Today will probably not allow me much better. One of the new windows was put in yesterday in the bedroom and floor in bath was prepped for new sub=flooring. A flurry of activity here. Well, my friends, Its a new month. Time to “March” into better health and a more optimal weight (for most of us). Let’s go!
