    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
    January 1, 2024 Weight: 150.0 (10-day average 146.8)
    August 31 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 156.0 (10-day average 157.4)
    September goal: Get back to lower end of maintenance weight range
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    August 31: 156.0 (10-day average 157.4)
    September 7: 155.0 (10-day average 157.0)
    September 14: 158.0 (10-day average 157.5)
    September 21: 158.0 (10-day average 158.1)
    September 28: 158.0 (10-day average 157.7)
    October 5:

    Total loss for September: I may have stopped the annoying gains; I am down a half pound from last week and that means I'm still up a third of a pound for the month. The context is that last week I reported I'd gained 2/3 of a pound, so I've dropped half of this month's gain.

    I am clearly trying to put a positive spin on this because I still need to get much closer to the bottom of my maintenance range. I am NOT giving up!

    Stick to it!

    Thanks for putting up the October challenge. Can’t believe September’s nearly over.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    I’m happy to report that I had a woosh this week (after a BM :D ). I doubled down on making sure I kept up with my daily 10k steps and really monitored calories.

    My name is Donna. I am 64 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.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Start Weight (from Aug 29th, 2024 ): 190.0

    Goal Weight: 186.0 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx





    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.


    09/01-

    09/08-189.6-(Trend Weight: 190.9)-

    09/15-193.2-(Trend Weight: 191.6)-

    09/22-193.8-(Trend Weight: 193.5)- It was a rough week filled with more travel than even expected. Bad meal choices at the restaurants and the typical lack of movement while traveling has really wreaked havoc on the scale. I feel bloated, puffy, and have a muffin top that I’m not very proud of. Even the pull-on shorts are feeling tight. Time to get serious and show myself some love again in the form of exercise and smart healthy choices in my meals. Snacks are my biggest downfall and I simply must get control.

    09/29-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.6)- DD and DGS has been at my house since Wednesday. Her ice cream got hold of me or was it the other way around? 2 days of delights does nothing for the hips! Clearly I’ll show a gain this month. Things could have been different.

    09/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Total loss for September: Well what do you know? I ended my "month" just a little lighter than I started. Less than a pound, but it's a lot better than continuing those annoying gains. I am down almost a pound from last week. Maybe I've turned the bus around!

    Onward to October! Stick to it!
