Good morning!
I haven’t been logging food consistently and it shows on the scale. I am focusing this week on logging everyday and staying within my calorie range. As much as I hate to admit it, that is the ONLY way I will get this weight off. 😆 And I don’t want another week of gaining!
Starting weight: 186
Challenge Goal: 176
8/8: 185.1 (-.9)
8/15: 182.8 (-2.3)

Not as good as I hoped but a loss is better than a gain. I know where I could improve so my goal for September is to work on those areas.6 -

My name is Nikki, and I'm 5'4" (on a good day!). I'm based on the south coast in the UK. I'm in my 50s and work full time as a teacher. I'm pretty active - but there's always room for some more. A friend reminded me of MFP - and seeing that my weight is creeping up, I thought I would give it go...again! My aims are to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and to reduce my carbohydrate intake.
My CW (15 Aug) is 148
My GW is 133
My UGW is 126 - although that is very optimistic!
I weigh in on Thursdays.

- it has been a good week!
I have been mindful of how many starchy carbohydrates I eat and trying to eat less - this seems to be working well. I have been tracking my meals and exercising more - using every excuse to walk a few more steps. Does anyone have any recommendations on upping the amount of protein?
29 Aug - 147 - not such a good week!
I have been tracking, but it looks like I need to keep an eye on what I am eating at lunch times - if I eat more at lunch then have a big dinner, it doesn't work well on the scales. Unfortunately, we had some gorgeous bread and cheese for lunch - and I ended up eating lots! I did lots of walking, and body combat classes, but this isn't enough! I'm now back at work, so hopefully being busy will help to keep me focused.

I'm feeling pretty good. Lately, I've been walking a neighbor's dog who is so calm and sweet. It gets me outside of the house.
I also finally utilized my Fitbit subscription to do a 12 min. Pilates arm and core workout on their app.
I've been doing my "Sword" (name brand) physical therapy exercises. Through my insurance company, I signed up for free physical therapy. You get a monitor, sensors, etc. And you do a 16 min. workout.
Yoga on Wednesday is a highlight for me.
It is all adding up!
Nice to see all of you posts! They keep me motivated!

Thank you, @RubyRed427 !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired, however...we watch our Grandsons during the week. Collin is 18 months and is our Morning Duty. Ronan is in 2nd Grade and is our Afternoon Duty.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out. The boys can be exhausting...

My weight has been hovering round the 151 level the last couple of weeks. And I've not been tracking, I've got out of the habit.
Plenty of exercise though. And my Ballet teacher noticed yesterday that I've lost some weight (I think she has too) so that was nice.
I'm on my own this week, husband is away, so there's less food in the house, and I've only myself to cater for, so it's back to tracking properly, to get below this 150lbs barrier for good.7 -

DD and DGS were here an extra day & night due to the holiday. They left last night and won’t be back until Thursday evening. I have one hair appointment this week which is local and won’t affect my eating so I hope to make some impact on the scale this week. I started my day today with a Youtube exercise video so I’m off to a good start.

29 Aug - 147 - not such a good week! (+1.6lb)
I have been tracking, but it looks like I need to keep an eye on what I am eating at lunch times - if I eat more at lunch then have a big dinner, it doesn't work well on the scales. Unfortunately, we had some gorgeous bread and cheese for lunch - and I ended up eating lots! I did lots of walking, and body combat classes, but this isn't enough! I'm now back at work, so hopefully being busy will help to keep me focused.
05 Sept -145.6 (-1.4lb)
I have been tracking which is easier now that I am back at work and I'm so busy that I can't hear the call of chocolate or the chance to rummage in food cupboards! I've been eating fewer starchy carbs at lunch which seems to work well. It would be nice to get into the 130s!!!
