    Hi everyone! :) My name is Dianna, and I'm new to this challenge. I'm hesitant to join as I've joined and failed so many of these types of challenges in the past. I'm a yo-yo dieter, as is evidenced by my starting weight with MFP, and my current weight (with lots of fluctuations in between). I really want to be done with all that!!

    I'm looking to eventually lose 30-40 pounds of fat, but for this Fall challenge, I think I'll shoot for 10 :wink:

    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:142
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:135

    ~October 7th-142

    *I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and typically order one entrée, no sides or soup and salad
    *I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days and cut down on wine/beer and buying cake, cupcakes
    *Also, I have a meal plan with vegetarian meals at least 3 or 4 days per week. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.

    Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🌻🎃

    Week 1 weigh-in! It felt like a "good" week. I stayed in macros all days but one, got in some good movement. Sleep was not great but that has been an ongoing issue (thanks stress). Have to be honest I was bummed to only see -.4 loss. BUT, part of the reason I'm here is to keep myself going even when it's slower going than I would like. I've put on 20lbs in the past two years from bad eating habits and emotional eating. Family illnesses and caregiving really got me off balance. so I'm here - grateful for this loss and looking forward to the next week of this journey! Glad to be here with you all.

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Sept 30th): 193.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 181.6
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
    TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:

    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.


    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.8)- I’m stalled today on the numbers, but looking back I seem to be hovering around these same numbers for a good two weeks now. It’s time to get serious and put a dent into it. I’d like to be back in the 180’s by the end of October. Time to have a good month. Let’s do it!

    10/07-194.4-(Trend Weight: 193.8)- I found that extra weight I was looking for from the travel/movie adventure on Saturday. Or shall I say that it found me? Yeah, I guess sometimes it does take a day or two to show up. Humph…… Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Into The Water! I have one travel day later this week. I’ve got to be vewy vewy cawful.

    Hi everyone! Okay; here we go. Although my regular weigh-in day is Wednesday, I'm going to follow along with the suggested dates for this board in order to be consistent with everyone else.

    All Time Highest Weight: I'm not sure about MFP initial weight, but my highest was 217.0 lbs. on 2/29/2008
    Challenge Starting Weight for this Group: 156.0 on Monday, October 7th, 2024
    Weight Loss Goal for this Challenge: 12-15 lbs. by 12/30/2024 [Wt. Range: 104-141; "Ideal" Wt. 133]

    I will post updates weekly as we go, but will only paste scale stats once below in this post and again with a first/last, side-by-side, before/after progress comparison on 12/30/2024.

    10/07/24: 156.0 lbs./Current Loss: 0.0 lbs./Total Loss: 0.0 lbs. Below are my "Day 1" (initial) scale stats:
    6kiligtty662.jpg
    I found two good links to try to calculate weight loss target dates: (Try it! It's very interesting!):
    https://www.fitwatch.com/calculator/weight-loss-target-date OR:
    https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/weight-loss-calculator.asp
    I think if I can keep up my activity and keep my caloric intake to ~1425-1500 I should be able to arrive within my goal weight by the end of this challenge.

    We're in the home stretch to 2025 - only 12 weeks from Wednesday, October 9th!

    Best wishes everyone, and have a GREAT week!
    <3 Carole

    Challenge final weight:

    I had major surgery at the end of September, which of course came with a bit of weight gain due to fluid retention. My goal is to slowly get back to the weight I was just before the surgery (188.4 lbs) but not lose any more weight until the end of the year, in order to give myself time and energy to heal fully. Doctor’s orders :)
