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.
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.

With some big work travel and stressors Monday and Tuesday, I made it to the hotel gym once and managed a vegetable with each meal. I haven’t been logging same day, but catch up with logging by the next day— I want to reign this back in to daily. I have still had some unhealthy meals, but always add a vegetable to them. I’m proud of todays weight loss, but still nervous whether I can keep it up. It’s a little too fast for my liking, however, I might have started 11/2 weighing in full of water (and cookies 😋). Writing here is very helpful.

Plan for today, Thursday and Friday:
- vegetable with every meal
- Brush my teeth after dinner/ commit to no snacking after dinner (an observation: I am eating bigger balanced dinners to make sure I’m full and won’t be hungry later)
- Log daily
- Today and Friday: minimum 30 min exercise

Hi everyone, Here I go. It wasn't as bad as I thought (I only regained 0.6 lbs.), but here are my initial stats and key measurements for Day 1 of my 6-week, New Year Countdown:

B: 40"/W: 37"/H: 39"/P: 43"

I will update weight change weekly including week loss/total loss (since today) and will post side-by-side, before/after stats and measurements for January 1, 2025, when I get back to the office after New Year's Day. I'm hoping to average a pound loss per week (or more) so I can be in the 140's by 1/1/25!

Have a great week everyone!
💗Carole

HW 206 lbs. Summer of 2023

11/1/24 171.1
11/4 170.1
11/7 170.6
11/15 170.1
11/20 171.1

I am stalled. I assume my body is saying, "I like it this way." So, I have not lost any weight these last few weeks.

I just came back from yoga, and it was so wonderful. The lighting was low, candles lit, calming music, etc.

That yoga class sounds lovely, @RubyRed427! Is all about balance and quality of life, right? You're still way down from last summer!💞

Wish there was a class like that here. I may need to buy some candles and do a youtube yoga in the living room!
