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!

10/22-192.2-(Trend Weight 192.5)- An expected jump on the scale after travel but much better than I had expected at less than a pound up. Perhaps that walk at the out-of-town park yesterday helped mitigate the extra calories from the restaurant. I’m still down from a week ago so I’m pleased overall. However, I’ll be much happier if I get off my bum and fit in a little exercise at home today too. I did call my lady friend and ask if she’d like to walk at the school today but she is unavailable. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t do some form of exercise myself, right? No excuses!
10/23-192.0-(Trend Weight 192.4)- I was hoping for a bigger drop after having such a good food day yesterday but I’ll take what I can get. I know I didn’t get any planned exercise in when I could have, but I did get in a bit of raking yesterday and I suppose that’s better than nothing. Busy day today running errands and I have 2 semi-local appointments as well. I won’t get any meaningful exercise in but I will adhere to my diet, even when taking my son and DGS out for a pre-planned dinner. I won’t be eating, except at home. Flexing my backbone here because I’m feeling strong today.

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.

I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

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%.

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!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

Made a beautiful chicken and delicata squash soup for dinner last night, and Greg made homemade bread to go with it. Delicious, but on the upper range of my sodium limit.
Oct 17 140.6 👣 🚶♀️➡️📝🥗🧘♀️💦🧂⚖️ 21.2K Steps, 🚶♀️➡️50 Min 2.8 Mile outside walk, 75 Min 4.2 Mile Treadmill, 45 Min 🧘♀️Full Body Stretch, 303 Calorie Deficit

Although I was in a calorie deficit, I had an off day - didn't reach my 8 glasses of water goal and ate a whole bag of popcorn putting me over my sodium limit. Just goes to show you that exercise cannot make up for a bad diet. Will be extra careful today - hoping to reverse the situation tomorrow.
Oct 19 141 👣 🚶♀️➡️📝🥗💪🫀💦🧂⚖️18.9K Steps, 🚶♀️➡️50 Min 2.5 Mile outside walk, 25 Min 1.2Mile Treadmill, 40 Min 🫀 Cardio HIIT, 45 Min💪 Strength, 456 Calorie Deficit
Washed the salt away, had to add another cardio workout at the end of the day to make up for calories - so still ended in deficit. Today we are going for our monthly visit to check on Greg's cousin - so away from the house for 10 hours, will get in a workout when we get home - but no outside walk today.
Oct 20 140.3 👣 🚶♀️➡️📝🥗🫀💦🧂⚖️15.8K Steps, 🚶♀️➡️35 Min 1.7 Mile Treadmill, 65 Min 🫀 Cardio HIIT, 126 Calorie Deficit
Nice day yesterday visiting Greg's cousin. She is doing well, made her Citron Fromage (a danish lemon mousse dessert) for dessert - gobbled up two huge servings. Listened to her stories from the old days (heard them 1000's of times - but that's ok). Talked about getting someone in a couple days a week just while she is showering - but she's not ready. She is actually getting out twice a week now. So happy that she is getting out - her husband died during the pandemic and she has been reluctant to go out except for doctor's appointments ever since. The elderly man who lives next door (he is also 90+) goes to Stew Leonards once a week - he has been getting a few things for her while he is there - but always asks if she would like to join him -she finally said yes - and she was glad to get out and get her own stuff (quote "he doesn't know how to pick out bananas"). We convinced her she should go every week. The young man who cuts her grass (he is the nephew of one of her close friends), keeps his sports car in her garage. He brings her for a ride once a week, she sees the "old" sites and then during they go for a an ice cream cone. Hoping it continues through the winter - maybe get a hot chocolate or coffee from dunkin.
I was careful what I ate - brought my own breakfast, portion controlled lunch, and then light dinner. Got in a cardio workout and a treadmill walk when I got home - happy to see the decrease today!

Busy day yesterday - our usual morning walk. Then went grocery shopping. It was a beautiful day, so we worked in the yard - still cleaning up the trees we dropped in the spring. Now that the leaves are falling off the trees, I can see them so I want them gone. Greg finished cutting one of them up into logs, and I cleaned up all the branches, and stacked the logs from the last one he cut up. There is one more that needs to be cut up, and two that need stacking. He's talking about getting rid of couple more - it never ends! Then got in my workouts, and it was time for dinner and the TV!

Crazy day yesterday, went for our usual morning walk - 39 degrees, coat and mittens. Then, bright sunshine so we took the kayaks out for a ride on the river. Wore my wet suit, but was so hot had to unzip and take the top down. Got in the car for the ride home and it was 80 degrees! Voted (the first day of early voting in CT), and then bingo with Mom last night. Mom and I were losers, but both my sisters won so a good night.

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!

October 13: 214.3–Wellness Day 3:
✍️💃🏻🚶♀️💊…I just squeaked in my exercise by walking and dancing around the house. I feel better when I can get exercise in before going to work.
October 14: 214.8– Wellness day 4: ate too much watching football, but I logged all of it, and that is a win!
✍️💃🏻🚶♀️💊… Happy Monday, friends! We can do this!!
October 15: 214– Wellness day 5:
✍️🚶♀️💃🏻💊 Time for a walk and talk with my mom-in-law then off to run errands on my day off. It’s currently 42 degrees Fahrenheit/5.56 degrees Celsius. Brisk and refreshing kind of morning.
October 16: 214.4–Wellness day 6:
✍️💃🏻💊 Hoping to get the grass cut today and finish edging in prep for winter and finish organizing the garage so we can squeeze in 2 cars. Time to Tetris the garage! Happy Wednesday!
October 17: 214.3– Wellness day 7:
✍️💊 Didn’t get in my intentional walking or dancing today, and I’ve felt off all day. I did make turkey chili this morning though. All good.
October 18: 214.2–Wellness day 8:
✍️🚶♀️💃🏻💊 Feeling more like myself after a chilly walk today. Feeling very refreshed and energized. Happy Friday friends!
October 19: 214.2–Wellness day 9:

October 20: 215.2 Wellness day 10:
🚶♀️Crazy day at work today. My sales partner and I are now working together in our new “collaborative” work space in the den of our model home. Demolition of The sales office and converting it back into a garage starts on Monday. Lots to do!
Monday, October 21: 215.2 Wellness Day 11:
Demo is in full swing at work and I managed to drive by my new community this morning. It was farmland, so the excavators are out working on installing the underground utilities. It’s so fun to watch! Spring 2025 is our estimated start date for sales.
Tuesday, October 22: 214.7 Wellness day 12: my day off.
Laying low today. Got my flu shot and Covid booster after work yesterday. Feeling achy and chilly.
Wednesday, October 23: 217.3 ✍️💊Wellness day 13. My day off. Feeling better today. Hoping today’s weigh in is a glitch from drinking so much water. Today is my daughter’s 20th birthday!🥳 she’ll be home from college this weekend and I can’t wait to just hang out with her. 🥰 Tomorrow morning I’ll get back to walking.
Thursday, October 24: 216.3✍️💊🚶♀️Wellness day 14: Feeling better overall. Ready to get back to a healthy routine. Have pre-logged, taken vitamins and will get my 25 minutes of walking in before work. Happy Thursday!

I know I didn’t get any planned exercise in when I could have, but I did get in a bit of raking yesterday and I suppose that’s better than nothing. Busy day today running errands and I have 2 semi-local appointments as well. I won’t get any meaningful exercise in but I will adhere to my diet, even when taking my son and DGS out for a pre-planned dinner. I won’t be eating, except at home. Flexing my backbone here because I’m feeling strong today.
10/24-191.0-(Trend Weight 192.3)- Finally back down and just below the pre-travel weight. Now to hold onto my progress! I try to pre-log my day the night before but didn’t get to it yesterday. I’m off to make sure that gets done now….before it’s too late!!!!!

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%.

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!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

Although I was in a calorie deficit, I had an off day - didn't reach my 8 glasses of water goal and ate a whole bag of popcorn putting me over my sodium limit. Just goes to show you that exercise cannot make up for a bad diet. Will be extra careful today - hoping to reverse the situation tomorrow.

Washed the salt away, had to add another cardio workout at the end of the day to make up for calories - so still ended in deficit. Today we are going for our monthly visit to check on Greg's cousin - so away from the house for 10 hours, will get in a workout when we get home - but no outside walk today.

Nice day yesterday visiting Greg's cousin. She is doing well, made her Citron Fromage (a danish lemon mousse dessert) for dessert - gobbled up two huge servings. Listened to her stories from the old days (heard them 1000's of times - but that's ok). Talked about getting someone in a couple days a week just while she is showering - but she's not ready. She is actually getting out twice a week now. So happy that she is getting out - her husband died during the pandemic and she has been reluctant to go out except for doctor's appointments ever since. The elderly man who lives next door (he is also 90+) goes to Stew Leonards once a week - he has been getting a few things for her while he is there - but always asks if she would like to join him -she finally said yes - and she was glad to get out and get her own stuff (quote "he doesn't know how to pick out bananas"). We convinced her she should go every week. The young man who cuts her grass (he is the nephew of one of her close friends), keeps his sports car in her garage. He brings her for a ride once a week, she sees the "old" sites and then during they go for a an ice cream cone. Hoping it continues through the winter - maybe get a hot chocolate or coffee from dunkin.
I was careful what I ate - brought my own breakfast, portion controlled lunch, and then light dinner. Got in a cardio workout and a treadmill walk when I got home - happy to see the decrease today!

Busy day yesterday - our usual morning walk. Then went grocery shopping. It was a beautiful day, so we worked in the yard - still cleaning up the trees we dropped in the spring. Now that the leaves are falling off the trees, I can see them so I want them gone. Greg finished cutting one of them up into logs, and I cleaned up all the branches, and stacked the logs from the last one he cut up. There is one more that needs to be cut up, and two that need stacking. He's talking about getting rid of couple more - it never ends! Then got in my workouts, and it was time for dinner and the TV!

Crazy day yesterday, went for our usual morning walk - 39 degrees, coat and mittens. Then, bright sunshine so we took the kayaks out for a ride on the river. Wore my wet suit, but was so hot had to unzip and take the top down. Got in the car for the ride home and it was 80 degrees! Voted (the first day of early voting in CT), and then bingo with Mom last night. Mom and I were losers, but both my sisters won so a good night.

Higher calorie day and the extra exercise just can't make up for it, even though it says I was under my calorie limit (even with my intake adjustments). Went for a walk at one of usual favorites in the AM, but then found a new preserve to explore in teh afternoon
- Turtle Creek Preserve. A nice day!

I love autumn...it was hot yesterday here in the South, but in the 70s not 100°. I'm planning to take a really long walk this afternoon.

Hi,
I'm Cindy. I am 5'4" just turned 51. Have a wonderful husband of 27 years and a soon to be 19 year old daughter.
Happy October!
September was a not so great month with a gain of 1.6 lbs. October will be better.
July starting weight : 164.2
October Starting weight : 158.2
Goal : 154
10/1: 158.2 - Made it to they gym after work!
10/2: 158.6
10/3: 157.6
10/4: 159.2 self sabotage? I ate a not so healthy big meal last night of something I had been craving. At least I worked out before I did it. I will be back at trying to eat healthy today. Its my first Friday off on my new work schedule!
10/5: 158.2
10/6: DNW
10/7: 158.6

10/15: 159.6
10/16: 159.6
10/17: 159.8
10/18: 160
10/19: 159 - Ugh! Finally catching up on entering my daily weigh in. I have not done so great so far this month. Only went to the gym twice this week. I have been tired trying to get use to my new work schedule. 9.5 hour days and then trying to go to the gym and coming home and cooking dinner has been a challenge. On the upside for this week my daughter got rid of her useless boyfriend! My FitBit pretty much bit the dust so just order a new Apple watch this morning. Best Buy has them on sale through tomorrow. Never had one before. Only reason I can justify it is because it was on sale. 
10/20: DNW
10/21: 160.2
10/22: DNW
10/23: 160.8
10/24: 160
10/25: 160.2 - Ugh! This new work schedule is hard. I love it, but working 9.5 hrs a day and then gym and then cooking dinner is rough. We have been eating out more than eating in and of course its not high quality eating out when you are feeding 4+ people. This week has been a little crazy. I meal prepped for breakfast and lunch and pretty much stuck to it. Its dinner I need to do better on. My daughter's useless ex is still trying contacting us. Yes, even me. He just needs to go away and move on. I just got my Apple watch Wednesday evening, so yesterday was the first day I wore it. Its so complicated, so still need to figure it out. I did find a new piece of gym equipment I like. The stair climber! I got on it for the first time this week and I like it better than the elliptical. I was able to do it for 9 minutes yesterday. I'm a treadmill girl.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!

10/25-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Today is my no-weigh Friday due to my extra early schedule and my special once-per-week with water medication. I woke up extra tired today and probably would have given a couple of my teeth to crawl back into bed but I guess it is what it is. My contractor will be here in just a bit. So here I am to support you all and wish you a wonderful Friday and a great weekend.

@FaZizzle My daughter also suffers from depression. It is so scary to watch them go through it. We ended up with a hospital visit when she was 16 for cutting. She was on medicine for a couple of years, but didn't want to continue to take it. She also suffers from ADHD and from my research depression is common in teens with ADHD. She is turning 20 next month. She still has occasional boughts of depression, but now has the tools to manage it thanks to her therapist. She still sees her therapist as needed. Finding a good therapist is key. Rhonda has been invaluable to her and our family.
Being a teen these days is so hard. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family.2 -
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 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.

I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

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%.

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!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

Although I was in a calorie deficit, I had an off day - didn't reach my 8 glasses of water goal and ate a whole bag of popcorn putting me over my sodium limit. Just goes to show you that exercise cannot make up for a bad diet. Will be extra careful today - hoping to reverse the situation tomorrow.

Washed the salt away, had to add another cardio workout at the end of the day to make up for calories - so still ended in deficit. Today we are going for our monthly visit to check on Greg's cousin - so away from the house for 10 hours, will get in a workout when we get home - but no outside walk today.

Nice day yesterday visiting Greg's cousin. She is doing well, made her Citron Fromage (a danish lemon mousse dessert) for dessert - gobbled up two huge servings. Listened to her stories from the old days (heard them 1000's of times - but that's ok). Talked about getting someone in a couple days a week just while she is showering - but she's not ready. She is actually getting out twice a week now. So happy that she is getting out - her husband died during the pandemic and she has been reluctant to go out except for doctor's appointments ever since. The elderly man who lives next door (he is also 90+) goes to Stew Leonards once a week - he has been getting a few things for her while he is there - but always asks if she would like to join him -she finally said yes - and she was glad to get out and get her own stuff (quote "he doesn't know how to pick out bananas"). We convinced her she should go every week. The young man who cuts her grass (he is the nephew of one of her close friends), keeps his sports car in her garage. He brings her for a ride once a week, she sees the "old" sites and then during they go for a an ice cream cone. Hoping it continues through the winter - maybe get a hot chocolate or coffee from dunkin.
I was careful what I ate - brought my own breakfast, portion controlled lunch, and then light dinner. Got in a cardio workout and a treadmill walk when I got home - happy to see the decrease today!

Busy day yesterday - our usual morning walk. Then went grocery shopping. It was a beautiful day, so we worked in the yard - still cleaning up the trees we dropped in the spring. Now that the leaves are falling off the trees, I can see them so I want them gone. Greg finished cutting one of them up into logs, and I cleaned up all the branches, and stacked the logs from the last one he cut up. There is one more that needs to be cut up, and two that need stacking. He's talking about getting rid of couple more - it never ends! Then got in my workouts, and it was time for dinner and the TV!

Crazy day yesterday, went for our usual morning walk - 39 degrees, coat and mittens. Then, bright sunshine so we took the kayaks out for a ride on the river. Wore my wet suit, but was so hot had to unzip and take the top down. Got in the car for the ride home and it was 80 degrees! Voted (the first day of early voting in CT), and then bingo with Mom last night. Mom and I were losers, but both my sisters won so a good night.

Higher calorie day and the extra exercise just can't make up for it, even though it says I was under my calorie limit (even with my intake adjustments). Went for a walk at one of usual favorites in the AM, but then found a new preserve to explore in the afternoon.
- Turtle Creek Preserve. A nice day!

@jm216 Have a wonderful time with your daughter this weekend.4

Hi,
I'm Cindy. I am 5'4" just turned 51. Have a wonderful husband of 27 years and a soon to be 19 year old daughter.
Happy October!
September was a not so great month with a gain of 1.6 lbs. October will be better.
July starting weight : 164.2
October Starting weight : 158.2
Goal : 154
10/1: 158.2 - Made it to they gym after work!
10/2: 158.6
10/3: 157.6
10/4: 159.2 self sabotage? I ate a not so healthy big meal last night of something I had been craving. At least I worked out before I did it. I will be back at trying to eat healthy today. Its my first Friday off on my new work schedule!
10/5: 158.2

10/15: 159.6
10/16: 159.6
10/17: 159.8
10/18: 160
10/19: 159 - Ugh! Finally catching up on entering my daily weigh in. I have not done so great so far this month. Only went to the gym twice this week. I have been tired trying to get use to my new work schedule. 9.5 hour days and then trying to go to the gym and coming home and cooking dinner has been a challenge. On the upside for this week my daughter got rid of her useless boyfriend! My FitBit pretty much bit the dust so just order a new Apple watch this morning. Best Buy has them on sale through tomorrow. Never had one before. Only reason I can justify it is because it was on sale.
10/20: DNW
10/21: 160.2
10/22: DNW
10/23: 160.8
10/24: 160
10/25: 160.2 - Ugh! This new work schedule is hard. I love it, but working 9.5 hrs a day and then gym and then cooking dinner is rough. We have been eating out more than eating in and of course its not high quality eating out when you are feeding 4+ people. This week has been a little crazy. I meal prepped for breakfast and lunch and pretty much stuck to it. Its dinner I need to do better on. My daughter's useless ex is still trying contacting us. Yes, even me. He just needs to go away and move on. I just got my Apple watch Wednesday evening, so yesterday was the first day I wore it. Its so complicated, so still need to figure it out. I did find a new piece of gym equipment I like. The stair climber! I got on it for the first time this week and I like it better than the elliptical. I was able to do it for 9 minutes yesterday. I'm a treadmill girl.

10/25-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Today is my no-weigh Friday due to my extra early schedule and my special once-per-week with water medication. I woke up extra tired today and probably would have given a couple of my teeth to crawl back into bed but I guess it is what it is. My contractor will be here in just a bit. So here I am to support you all and wish you a wonderful Friday and a great weekend.
10/26-191.6-(Trend Weight 192.1)- I just realized (it just dawned on me) that I usually do well at home because I don’t usually keep anything tempting or off-plan in the house. Not because I choose to make good choices or I practice good portion control when I have treats. This is very likely why I always gain when I am out of my “safe zone” and in restaurants or other social situations. I can already see that maintenance would be a disaster, if I ever even get there. I’m not trying to be gloomy or pitiful. Just honest. It’s always a challenge on weekends when my daughter is here but this weekend was a little worse with Real Junk such as Halloween (orange centered) Oreos and such. Honestly, I can’t expect that others around me like my DS or DGS or DD never get treats or holiday festive foods just because I’m on a diet, or even because I am a diabetic. I’ve truly got to learn self-control and how to make good choices for Me, no matter what everyone else is having. I haven’t even COME CLOSE to learning any of that yet. I really had a moment of clarity this morning on this. It doesn’t make things easier in knowing this, in fact, it may even make things worse as it is not up to me to deny anyone around me anything. That includes my 100 lb soaking wet daughter who knows how to take one mini Reeces and then stop. It’s not anyone else’s fault I eat them by the handfuls if I’m going to eat them at all. Not their fault I haven’t learned self-control even at the age of 64! I’ve got such a long long road ahead but I hope to approach it with a different attitude going forward. I am going to start researching on how to look at food differently etc. It really does all start and end with me and should have nothing to do with what is going on around me! ANYONE can eat less if they are in a room with no food! I can do better!

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!

October 13: 214.3–Wellness Day 3:
✍️💃🏻🚶♀️💊…I just squeaked in my exercise by walking and dancing around the house. I feel better when I can get exercise in before going to work.
October 14: 214.8– Wellness day 4: ate too much watching football, but I logged all of it, and that is a win!
✍️💃🏻🚶♀️💊… Happy Monday, friends! We can do this!!
October 15: 214– Wellness day 5:
✍️🚶♀️💃🏻💊 Time for a walk and talk with my mom-in-law then off to run errands on my day off. It’s currently 42 degrees Fahrenheit/5.56 degrees Celsius. Brisk and refreshing kind of morning.
October 16: 214.4–Wellness day 6:
✍️💃🏻💊 Hoping to get the grass cut today and finish edging in prep for winter and finish organizing the garage so we can squeeze in 2 cars. Time to Tetris the garage! Happy Wednesday!
October 17: 214.3– Wellness day 7:
✍️💊 Didn’t get in my intentional walking or dancing today, and I’ve felt off all day. I did make turkey chili this morning though. All good.
October 18: 214.2–Wellness day 8:
✍️🚶♀️💃🏻💊 Feeling more like myself after a chilly walk today. Feeling very refreshed and energized. Happy Friday friends!

Monday, October 21: 215.2 Wellness Day 11:
Demo is in full swing at work and I managed to drive by my new community this morning. It was farmland, so the excavators are out working on installing the underground utilities. It’s so fun to watch! Spring 2025 is our estimated start date for sales.
Tuesday, October 22: 214.7 Wellness day 12: my day off.
Laying low today. Got my flu shot and Covid booster after work yesterday. Feeling achy and chilly.
Wednesday, October 23: 217.3 ✍️💊Wellness day 13. My day off. Feeling better today. Hoping today’s weigh in is a glitch from drinking so much water. Today is my daughter’s 20th birthday!🥳 she’ll be home from college this weekend and I can’t wait to just hang out with her. 🥰 Tomorrow morning I’ll get back to walking.
Thursday, October 24: 216.3✍️🚶♀️Wellness day 14: Feeling better overall. Ready to get back to a healthy routine. Have pre-logged, taken vitamins and will get my 25 minutes of walking in before work. Happy Thursday!

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.

I did it - made it to the normal BMI range! Six hundred and thirty-three days since I started my journey - averaging just shy of a pound a week. I am over the moon with happiness. Now to keep it this way for the rest of my life.

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%.

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!

Didn't really want to look at the weight today - switching my weigh in day until tomorrow. Took the boat out for probably the last spin. Beautiful day, but not as colorful as I would have expected. Picnic on the water and a heavier dinner put me over the top.

Funny thing - worked out a lot yesterday (it was a workout relay race weekend for the Hogwarts Challenge) and for the first time in a LONG time - didn't meet my step goal. A lot of strength workouts, and boxing where I didn't move my feet. LOL! Today is going to be a rest day to recouperate - but I will get in my walks! Then Bingo night with mom - celebrating my sister's 66 birthday tonight.

Nice night at Bingo for Mom - she won twice. Always puts her in a good mood. I saved room in my food intake for dessert last night and had a piece of cake. Don't know if it is because I haven't had it in a long time, or it was just great - one of the best pieces of cake I have had in a long time - just a vanilla cake - but the raspberry mousse filling was to die for.

Made a beautiful chicken and delicata squash soup for dinner last night, and Greg made homemade bread to go with it. Delicious, but on the upper range of my sodium limit.

Although I was in a calorie deficit, I had an off day - didn't reach my 8 glasses of water goal and ate a whole bag of popcorn putting me over my sodium limit. Just goes to show you that exercise cannot make up for a bad diet. Will be extra careful today - hoping to reverse the situation tomorrow.

Washed the salt away, had to add another cardio workout at the end of the day to make up for calories - so still ended in deficit. Today we are going for our monthly visit to check on Greg's cousin - so away from the house for 10 hours, will get in a workout when we get home - but no outside walk today.

Nice day yesterday visiting Greg's cousin. She is doing well, made her Citron Fromage (a danish lemon mousse dessert) for dessert - gobbled up two huge servings. Listened to her stories from the old days (heard them 1000's of times - but that's ok). Talked about getting someone in a couple days a week just while she is showering - but she's not ready. She is actually getting out twice a week now. So happy that she is getting out - her husband died during the pandemic and she has been reluctant to go out except for doctor's appointments ever since. The elderly man who lives next door (he is also 90+) goes to Stew Leonards once a week - he has been getting a few things for her while he is there - but always asks if she would like to join him -she finally said yes - and she was glad to get out and get her own stuff (quote "he doesn't know how to pick out bananas"). We convinced her she should go every week. The young man who cuts her grass (he is the nephew of one of her close friends), keeps his sports car in her garage. He brings her for a ride once a week, she sees the "old" sites and then during they go for a an ice cream cone. Hoping it continues through the winter - maybe get a hot chocolate or coffee from dunkin.
I was careful what I ate - brought my own breakfast, portion controlled lunch, and then light dinner. Got in a cardio workout and a treadmill walk when I got home - happy to see the decrease today!

Busy day yesterday - our usual morning walk. Then went grocery shopping. It was a beautiful day, so we worked in the yard - still cleaning up the trees we dropped in the spring. Now that the leaves are falling off the trees, I can see them so I want them gone. Greg finished cutting one of them up into logs, and I cleaned up all the branches, and stacked the logs from the last one he cut up. There is one more that needs to be cut up, and two that need stacking. He's talking about getting rid of couple more - it never ends! Then got in my workouts, and it was time for dinner and the TV!

Crazy day yesterday, went for our usual morning walk - 39 degrees, coat and mittens. Then, bright sunshine so we took the kayaks out for a ride on the river. Wore my wet suit, but was so hot had to unzip and take the top down. Got in the car for the ride home and it was 80 degrees! Voted (the first day of early voting in CT), and then bingo with Mom last night. Mom and I were losers, but both my sisters won so a good night.

Higher calorie day and the extra exercise just can't make up for it, even though it says I was under my calorie limit (even with my intake adjustments). Went for a walk at one of usual favorites in the AM, but then found a new preserve to explore in the afternoon.

Ordered pizza last night, was very high on the calories, but did a couple extra workouts to try to make up for it just over my calorie limit in the end. It tasted good, but was it worth it- not sure. Over my sodium limit too.
Today throwing a big party for my sister who will turn 60 this year. Her birthday isn't until mid November - but having it early so she doesn't suspect anything. We rented a hall, and have about 40 people or so coming; should be fun and I hope she is surprised. It's the first big party I have been to in a long time - so we'll see how I do with all the temptations. I'm hoping that a light breakfast today, quick walk before I go, a big workout when I get home, and then a light dinner will make up for the day.4 -

10/19: 159 - Ugh! Finally catching up on entering my daily weigh in. I have not done so great so far this month. Only went to the gym twice this week. I have been tired trying to get use to my new work schedule. 9.5 hour days and then trying to go to the gym and coming home and cooking dinner has been a challenge. On the upside for this week my daughter got rid of her useless boyfriend! My FitBit pretty much bit the dust so just order a new Apple watch this morning. Best Buy has them on sale through tomorrow. Never had one before. Only reason I can justify it is because it was on sale.

10/25: 160.2 - Ugh! This new work schedule is hard. I love it, but working 9.5 hrs a day and then gym and then cooking dinner is rough. We have been eating out more than eating in and of course its not high quality eating out when you are feeding 4+ people. This week has been a little crazy. I meal prepped for breakfast and lunch and pretty much stuck to it. Its dinner I need to do better on. My daughter's useless ex is still trying contacting us. Yes, even me. He just needs to go away and move on. I just got my Apple watch Wednesday evening, so yesterday was the first day I wore it. Its so complicated, so still need to figure it out. I did find a new piece of gym equipment I like. The stair climber! I got on it for the first time this week and I like it better than the elliptical. I was able to do it for 9 minutes yesterday. I'm a treadmill girl.

10/27: 159.6 - ? I don't understand my body at this point. Didn't eat the greatest yesterday, but did get sleep last night. Maybe its sleep?3 -
