Get to goal weight in 2024

Hi everyone,

I forgot to weigh in before eating today; so I will count my Monday morning scale weight as my Sunday weigh in.

Enjoy your day!

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.

Start Weight (from February 29th, 2024 ): 177.0
Goal Weight: 145

End of Monthly Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost or Gained this Month: xxxxx

I will weigh in on Saturdays and also on the first and last day of each month to get a monthly tally for myself. My weight swings back & forth a lot, mostly due to self-sabotage when I start doing well. However, I have managed to lose approximately 20 pounds since July of 2023. I expect the loss will begin to slow down a bit, but I am feeling pretty strong and confident that I can reach my goal in 2024.




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.

03/16-181.2-(Trend Weight: 180.4)- What a horrible week for both food and exercise this has been! This 3 room renovation in the primary/ensuite/closet area has really tied my hands. I’ve been given the task of the online shopping for every single item from shoe cubbies to towel rings. All sitting. And the cravings for sugar are through the roof! Is my body looking for quick energy since it feels I’m not moving around as much as usual? Sitting on the computer is making me lazy! I’ve got to begin to turn this back around at some point. I do long for the day that my king sized bed isn’t sitting in the middle of my livingroom (where I am now sleeping), totes and boxes of supplies, clothes etc. aren’t piled up to it and I have some floor space again to exercise. And a little privacy too would be nice! But I am excited about the project, just not the road it takes to get there! Kind of like a diet, isn’t it?

04/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Easter dinner was at Golden Corral all-you-can eat buffet. I didn’t need to weigh to know I overate and gained.

04/06-181.6-(Trend Weight: 181.2)- March was a horrible month for me with plenty of ups & downs on the scale. Overall, it looks like I’m up and I can’t just blame Easter. I have had an insatiable craving for sugar, and I mean A LOT of it. Something has got to give or April will be bad too. I don’t need to go backwards to the point where I get lost completely.

Hi everyone,

I dropped out for awhile and really slacked of, but now I'm ready to make a fresh start; so I'm jumping right back in! I forgot to weigh in before eating today; so I will count my Monday morning scale weight as my Sunday weigh in and will report my weight every Sunday going forward.

Enjoy your day!
❤️ Carole

Jumping back in (for a fresh start)!
Highest Weight: 217.0 (02/29/2008)

I will post weights and dates on Sundays. I will also post stats from my scale app to stay accountable and to show progress.

04/14: 155.2 Day 01

Weight loss for this week: 0.0
Current challenge loss: 0.0
Weight loss goal: 15.0 (or more)

I really don't like that it thinks my metabolic age is 70 when I'm only 65! (Gotta FIX that!)

I promise to stick with it this time!

Wishing everyone well,
Carole💗

My Mantra:

🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
