I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

10/08-193.8-(Trend Weight 194.0)- Nice drop on the scale. Yesterday I called the lady who bought my local businesses when I retired and invited her to go over to the school to walk the hallways and she joined me. We put in 3 miles at a medium pace before leaving because we felt a little in the way due to a girls volleyball game that started (they were blocking off some of the hallways). I think what helped me the most is that I didn’t want to blow my calorie/carb counts later with useless snacks since it was a real effort to drive somewhere to exercise and put the time in. (No gyms to join in my county). We are going again today since Wednesday is out this week for both of us and I can never go on Thur or Fri due to meeting bus and babysitting DGS every week. However, this Thursday I travel out-of-town to complete my son’s dental procedure so I’m going to have to plan Very Carefully for that. I’m a little sore today after walking but that’s a good thing, right?

Diet: I made some deconstructed stuffed peppers yesterday, and they were amazing. I love broiling sweet peppers for a nice little char! I also oven-baked some poultry fritters, so we'll have those ready for lunches this week. Tonight is fish night, primarily because my daughter is working.
Exercise: I've been taking my morning walk near my office, and honestly it's been pretty great. After work, I'm going to squeeze in lower body work at the gym before I have a Bible study.3 -
Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!
Welcome to October!
Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.
My goals this October are to:
🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
🍃Get outside and 🚶♀️or 💃🏻 inside
🍃Enjoy the season
🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day
It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

Oct. 9 - 235.4 | Recovery day |
Diet: It looks like no shot this week yet while insurance is pending. Since I'm going up a dose, it's treated like a new prescription. However, because I was already taking 2.5, I couldn't put it in too early also per insurance. Patience is a virtue they say, but insurance is frustrating. Other than that, I'm having a better day with cravings and such.
Exercise: I was originally going to do my upper body over lunch, but I feel like my body is telling me to focus on recovery instead. Today I'm going to rest.3 -

Pros: been getting more protein and fiber through experimenting with more protein bar recipes. Salt is a perennial problem. Had a yearly physical yesterday; everything is good except my cholesterol. If I lose the extra 20 pounds that will come back in line. More motivation to lose, because I don't want to be on a cholesterol med. Struggling a bit with staying up too late, plus a mountain of stress. Working on managing it.
The cons: my husband got laid off. So we have some pretty major life decisions to make, on whether he steps into full retirement, semi-retirement, or another full time job.2 -

Yesterday I called the lady who bought my local businesses when I retired and invited her to go over to the school to walk the hallways and she joined me. We put in 3 miles at a medium pace before leaving because we felt a little in the way due to a girls volleyball game that started (they were blocking off some of the hallways). I think what helped me the most is that I didn’t want to blow my calorie/carb counts later with useless snacks since it was a real effort to drive somewhere to exercise and put the time in. (No gyms to join in my county). We are going again today since Wednesday is out this week for both of us and I can never go on Thur or Fri due to meeting bus and babysitting DGS every week. However, this Thursday I travel out-of-town to complete my son’s dental procedure so I’m going to have to plan Very Carefully for that. I’m a little sore today after walking but that’s a good thing, right?
10/09-192.6-(Trend Weight 193.8)- I didn’t walk at the school after all yesterday as my new walking partner had to cancel. I went to visit my older friend instead. Not good news. While her main lung tumor shrunk considerably from her chemo and radiation treatments (that ended in early Sept), she is now showing multiple new small tumors. She has opted to forgo any more treatments. At 79 and in a very frail condition, I don’t know how long she will make it. She has not been given a prognosis and her family has signed her up for general Hospice right now. She’s been my local BFF for 26 years now. I’m so sad. Tomorrow begins the challenging times of my week diet-wise. Tomorrow I travel out of town with son for dental (and shopping) and then home with DD and DGS’s standard stay time with me until about 7:00 pm Sunday. I don’t want to lose any progress so I hope to stay strong. Clearly I am already worried.

I love the start of a new month, the optimism that it brings, leaving those negative thoughts behind, reflecting on my prior months accomplishments, a fresh start, a clean slate. And fall is my favorite time of year - a slight chill in the air - the beautiful fall colors on the trees in Connecticut, no bugs. Happy Otober - a special welcome to all our new people - I hope you love this group as much as I do, and for all the returning members - so glad to see you back for another month.

We have had company all week. Our best friends moved to Florida a few years back, but their family lives in Connecticut. When they visit, they use our house as their lodging. The husband of the couple came up to visit family and friends this week. It has basically been a "boys" week; but the influences I have been at the upper limit of my calorie and sodium levels (going over on the sodium one day) which affects everything. He leaves tomorrow and things will get back to normal - hoping I'll get back down under that 140 mark by my next weigh in (Wednesday).

I have been experimenting this week - first true week of only weighing bi-weekly and with company here - and wanting to see what it did to my weight I ate back all my exercise (ok a little more some days, a little less others) to see what would happen. I am up a pound this week. So here is what I'm going to do this week. Still bi-weekly weigh-in, but get back to the losing mentality for a couple weeks. Hoping to get back to my goal weight, and then try maybe 75%.

Unexpected whoosh, 💧 that's nice to see. 😀 I made an egroll filling protein bar experiment the other day; top them with Chinese mustard and Thai Sweet chili sauce, or General Tso sauce, and they're quite reminiscent of the real thing but without the gluten or deep frying. I think that recipe will be a keeper.
@deepwoodslady nice to see your scale drop, as well; thinking of you as you travel today.
@ozdeelite hoping your bloodwork shows your kidney function is up a notch.
@ilive2walk thanks for sharing how you're experimenting with finding what is sustainable for you for maintenance mode. I would imagine each person's maintenance will look a bit unique, but it gives us ideas on how to experiment when we reach maintenance.
Newbies - hi, I have been reading your posts even if I haven't been mentioning you a lot, and I just wanted to encourage you too!

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

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.

10/09-192.6-(Trend Weight 193.8)- I didn’t walk at the school after all yesterday as my new walking partner had to cancel. I went to visit my older friend instead. Not good news. While her main lung tumor shrunk considerably from her chemo and radiation treatments (that ended in early Sept), she is now showing multiple new small tumors. She has opted to forgo any more treatments. At 79 and in a very frail condition, I don’t know how long she will make it. She has not been given a prognosis and her family has signed her up for general Hospice right now. She’s been my local BFF for 26 years now. I’m so sad. Tomorrow begins the challenging times of my week diet-wise. Tomorrow I travel out of town with son for dental (and shopping) and then home with DD and DGS’s standard stay time with me until about 7:00 pm Sunday. I don’t want to lose any progress so I hope to stay strong. Clearly I am already worried.
10/10-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.6)- A nice drop on the scale today even without much sleep or water yesterday so I’m pleased as punch. However, today begins the weekly 4 day obstacle course that is my DD and DGS coming to stay until Sunday night. I’ve realized that it is not just her “duffle bags of treats” that make it difficult. It’s having meals to cook (or be present for) that are not within my own daily plan. I don’t know how you Superheroes do it…..diet and feed a family too! Have a great Thursday everyone and please keep those impacted by the Hurricanes in your prayers. I’m praying for people, pets, wildlife and property as I hope everyone will have a home to come back to.

Diet: My insurance FINALLY approved 5 mg, and I was able to get it yesterday right on time. No other major diet changes though I'm focused on keep my net carbs closer to 50 than 80. I'm pushing the water HARD right now. I have a blood draw tomorrow, and I'm a notoriously hard stick unless I'm over-hydrated. I started a few days ago, and I am peeing all the freaking time.
Exercise: Arm day is my favorite day of the week. I walk away feeling freaking invincible! Today was a nice walk pre-work and gym time over lunch for arm day. Yes, I feel AMAZING!4 -
@cattherien yes hoping so. Last test said 52%. It’s going to be an annoying long wait to see if there’s any permanent damage.
I went for a walk yesterday- first one since having my catheter. It wasn’t easy and rather uncomfortable. But pretty outside.

Met my 2,024 miles in 2024 goal yesterday! Three and a half weeks quicker than last year's pace, even with the meniscus tear at the beginning of summer (counting all steps); now to work on the intentional fitness miles goal - I'll need to average a little over 100 minutes of intentional exercise daily to make it - might be a stretch - but doable!
@deepwoodslady - That pink is looking good on you! Don't let the weekend tip you up! Stay strong! Log what you eat before you eat it (might make you say no).
@fazizzle Ah, the water issues! At one point in order to remind me to drink, I had another glass every time I peed! LOL I'm just the opposite of you - don't like my strength training days, prefer the cardio - but I do them anyway! Today is a 🏋️♀️ day for me!
@ozdeelite Glad you got out for a walk - it may be uncomfortable, but it is a means to an end. As hard as it is - follow doctor's order (Mom speaking here) we want you back to a healthy self! Beautiful pictures.
@koeitjiesa Kicking butt and taking names! 😁
@cattherien I am amazed at your ability to create your own recipes! I love to cook - but need a recipe for anything to come out tasting good!

Hi! I’m Jill and I absolutely ❤️ this group of like-minded friends. If you’re here, then you’re our friend!
Welcome to October!
Fall is my favorite season. I live in Michigan, and I love the chilly mornings and evenings.☕️ I love the sunny days and love watching the trees change colors 🌳 🍃🍂🍁… and the smell of fall. I don’t even mind the rainy days.
My goals this October are to:
🍃Log daily- consistently and happily. This is the key to success.
🍃Get outside and 🚶♀️or 💃🏻 inside
🍃Enjoy the season
🍃15 minutes of intentional exercise each day
It's time to get everything in sync this month. I'm no longer going through the motions. When I log...I lose weight. It takes time to build up consistency and momentum, but when it works, it's beautiful! Let’s go!

Yesterday I experimented with taking a gluten free box brownie mix, adding oat fiber and quadruple the eggs for a fluffier texture and more protein, and then blending it with a chocolate peanut butter oatmeal fat bomb recipe. I baked scoops of it in silicone donut molds, to make a hybrid brownie-fat bomb-donut kinda thing. Ha! It's delicious. Purely a treat, but a higher fiber and protein one than a traditional treat so that it slows down the carb absorbing, and hits that chocolate craving pretty well.
@deepwoodslady I wonder... Would your DD and DGS be willing to share cooking responsibility with you, when they visit? That way, you could mainly have your on-plan meals, but still be able to take small servings or tastes of what isn't on plan. Plus making memories while enjoying cooking together.
@FaZizzle great news to hear that you got the insurance approval. Smart idea to over hydrate before a blood draw.
@ozdeelite how long do you have to wait to get the results of your blood draw? Are your clothes beginning to feel any looser as you lose the abdominal fluid? I'm glad you were able to get outside yesterday.
@ilive2walk congrats on meeting your walking goal for the year. Fabulous. I wish you the best with your next goal. Good advice to Donna on logging before eating - I needed the reminder. On recipes, I don't really find success completely starting from scratch per se; it's more like Frankenstein cooking, what if I attached this goat hoof instead of an ear, kinda mindset. I guess having so many dietary allergies has made me have to constantly experiment with substitute ingredients and make multiple versions of a food to try to tweak it.

@iLive2walk I definitely always pre-log my food the day before except when traveling because I'm never sure what restaurant my son will pick or where we will land exactly. Pre-logging does help keep me in line with meals. I still have to be very careful though that I don't deviate my night time snack. Congratulations to you on reaching the 2024 mile goal. Impressive!
@ozdeelite I'm enjoying all the pics of your new food recipes and also the scenic ones. It seems you are feeling a bit better under your circumstances. I'll continue to hope and pray for you kidney function to continue improving.3 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

10/10-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.6)- A nice drop on the scale today even without much sleep or water yesterday so I’m pleased as punch. However, today begins the weekly 4 day obstacle course that is my DD and DGS coming to stay until Sunday night. I’ve realized that it is not just her “duffle bags of treats” that make it difficult. It’s having meals to cook (or be present for) that are not within my own daily plan. I don’t know how you Superheroes do it…..diet and feed a family too! Have a great Thursday everyone and please keep those impacted by the Hurricanes in your prayers. I’m praying for people, pets, wildlife and property as I hope everyone will have a home to come back to.
10/11-193.8-(Trend Weight 193.6)- Well, there’s the massive jump-up from the travel and the Chinese Food. It’s actually much higher than I expected since it didn’t seem that I ate a whole lot. Hopefully a lot of it is sodium induced retention. All the more reason to try to be extra careful while DD and DGS are here during the weekend. Clothing has just been getting tighter and tighter since Feb/Mar and this merry-go-round isn’t feeling too merry right now. I’m committing to a good day today No Matter What!

Diet: Yesterday was just a mess. The move to 5 mg has been smooth, but the nausea hit hard in the evening. I had to fast for the blood draw, but I also needed to go to the store after work. As a result, I ended up way under my calorie goal. Today's already been a better start. :-)
Exercise: I walked home from dropping the car off at the shop, and thought it was warm, it was fine. Nothing remarkable. I'm hoping that the car gets done in time to go to my class, but we shall see!
