Hi all. Hope everyone in LA is ok - if anyone is there.
I made my goal of exercising 4 times this week! Went to a gym class yesterday- just Pilates/yoga, struggled immensely but body is less tense today.
Scales went up yet again despite all the exercise and reasonable calorie intake this week. Blah 😑

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's Point

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

01/20-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I’m feeling very heavy and bloated today. No TMI x 2, I forgot to take the Lasix yesterday so I know I’m retaining a lot of fluid and I am just feeling uncomfortable overall. I’m hoping to have a better day today than yesterday. I ate 3 meals instead of my standard 2 and I ate way too late. That is bad habits creeping back in. I’ve got to get a grip on the good ones!

Hi everyone,
Still haven't seen my new cat come out of hiding yet, but guess what? "MJ" used the litter box last night! This morning I scooped out two, large clumps (no feces, just urine). We didn't even show her where the box was! She found it on her own. I also heard her meow last night. Four, quick, tiny meows. (I think she was dreaming.) I was right - she is hiding under my bed. I hope she comes out today! This is supposed to be our "bonding time" and go back to work on Wednesday.
The cat's vet report says she was just over six pounds mid-November. She looks about seven pounds right now. She's fully adult, but her mom had her when she was only about 7 months old. She was the only kitten in the litter, which is quite unusual. I think that's why she's so small. She's over three years old now. My other two cats averaged about 12-15 lbs. in their adult lives, and they weren't even fat!
Boston ended up getting just over 4 inches of snow; so on the low end of the prediction. It's only 19 degrees out right now and tomorrow night is supposed to go down to about 3 degrees! Brrrr!
Have a great day

Hi All!
🎉🎆Happy New Year!!🎆🎉
I am a mom of five, trying to lose my last few pounds.
Goals for January:
Pre-log my day's food every morning! And update logging before dinner.
Check in to this group every morning.
January 1: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 2: 127.6
January 3: 127.6 Yesterday the last of the Christmas cookies, chocolates, and egg nog got hold of me.
January 4: 127.6 I've been pre-logging in the mornings; but then I get derailed sometime between 3-7PM. I'd like to tackle that; maybe if I take the time to update logging right before dinner. There's always a lot of shuffle and/or chaos right before dinner, but if I can manage to take some time to update my logging during that time, I think that will help. So, I'm adding that to my goals above.
January 5: 127.6
January 6: 128.6
January 7: 127.8
January 8: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 9: 127.6 Yesterday I actually logged the way I'm supposed to. (As in, pre-logging and then keeping up with the logging during my challenging hours of late afternoon/early evening.) I increased my calorie goal by 200 calories and kept my laptop handy.
January 10: 127.4 ❄️ I logged
January 11: 127.8
January 12: 128.8
January 13: 129.4 I want today to be the day that I change my habits.
January 14: 129.8 ❄️ I logged! Yesterday was the same old same old. But I am proud of how I did today. I had a really busy day with plenty of excuses to not log or to throw in the towel, but I logged and did pretty well. I have been reflecting on why I have been repeatedly failing & falling into the same bad habits. I think a lot of it might have to do with meal timing. Since August we have been on a different schedule; a much later schedule, with dinner often happening very late. I think it's really causing a problem for me. I get sooooo hungry in the afternoon; throw in the towel and overeat; then eat a lot *again* at dinner. Starting today I'm trying to have dinner earlier; and trying to eat enough in the morning and afternoon so that I don't get so hungry that I go nuts; and, in the afternoon, reminding myself that dinner is happening soon. At any rate this worked today and it's my new plan for now.
January 15: 128.4 ❄️ I logged! I did it again. The plan from yesterday worked again. Ate more in the morning and afternoon, didn't get overhungry or hangry in the late afternoon, and ate an earlier dinner. 👍

Took the most beautiful walk the other day at Hammonasset State Park. We took three trails that we haven't taken before - the first Meig's point a 1/2 mile trail (1 mile in and out) along the rocky shoreline to the point (Meig's point). The second the Willards lsland Trail, a 1 mile loop. It's a paved trail - not much to look at - but when you get to the farthest point you see the salt marshes. Our last walk was the Cedar Island Trail, just a half mile in and out. There are a couple bridges that take you to the small island in the middle of the salt marshes. A perfect photo shoot for Monty. He is getting a little scruffy - looks like he need a grooming! Pictures in the spoiler.Meig's Point

Beautiful pictures @iLive2Walk ! I like walking too, but can't much right now bc of a hip injury.
Ah well I missed a couple days tracking, but here today! Although today I am having dinner out and going to a basketball game, so I suppose calories will be up. I'm more excited about the dinner than the basketball game lol.
Anyway I weighed in this morning. 160.8. Bit disappointed the numbers aren't a bit lower, but given my limitations I suppose it's ok.
Weighins
Jan 1- 162.2
Jan 8 - 160.8
Jan 14-160.2
Jan 15- 160.6
Jan 21- 160.8
January goals:
** Weigh in weekly on Wednesdays.
**Track calories every day.
**Stick to my calorie goals (1600, plus 100 on days I go in to the office- more movement/longer day)
**Do the approved exercises I can do.
Weigh in Jan 1- 162.2 lbs.
Goal weight in Jan- 159 (I know this isn't much, but I really feel like I need to start with baby steps and not set myself up for failure right now)..

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!

01/20-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I’m feeling very heavy and bloated today. No TMI x 2, I forgot to take the Lasix yesterday so I know I’m retaining a lot of fluid and I am just feeling uncomfortable overall. I’m hoping to have a better day today than yesterday. I ate 3 meals instead of my standard 2 and I ate way too late. That is bad habits creeping back in. I’ve got to get a grip on the good ones!
01/21-193.2-(Trend Weight 192.9)- Oh, how I start each day with such gusto! With the innocence of a child, really. I pre-log my food, plan some exercise and feel full of such hope and obedience! Then it all seems to go south-to Hell in a hand basket as they say (whoever THEY are). Today I am here to try again to save myself from obesity, high A1C diabetic numbers and so much more (yes, knees included). I’m entering today with reckless abandon and hoping I remain as strong as I feel in this moment. Cocky me, with coffee in hand. It’s easy when you are not hungry yet! But my promise to myself and my pledge to all you hardworking people is that I will give it my very best again today. I will throw it hard against the wall and hope it sticks. -11 F degrees actual out there right now. -28 F Windchill factor. Day 2 of schools being closed. Brrrr…. Maybe I will shiver off some calories today!

Hi everyone,
(Sorry if this is a copy/paste from other boards you visit and you have already read these updates.) My new cat has started coming out! Here's a copy of the update reports I texted to her foster mom:
Oh! She just snuck out into the living room - just now! But when I spoke softly, like, "Oh look, it's the pretty one!", She bolted. I think I was so quiet, reading something online, that she didn't realize I was on the recliner! Lights are off but fountain light is on and candles are burning. Her tail looks so skinny! I hope she ate some of the food I put under the bed! (There's food in the kitchen too.) I'll let you know if/when she comes back.
She just came back and jumped up on the living room windowsill for about...two seconds, then jumped down and ran! (It's cold on there, maybe I'll put a blanket.)
She's in the living room again, under the window. I put an electric blanket on the windowsill (not plugged in), but she hasn't gone up there yet; she's behind one of the tied curtain panels. She thinks she's hidden, but her butt's sticking out!🤭
Now she's been out here a few times and went back to on the window for awhile. It's getting late so I'll be in bed soon. Hopefully, tomorrow she will show gradually less anxiety as she gets more used to me to adjusts and to her new home!
I hope she comes out again soon!
Today is my last day off until l return to work on Wednesday. It's so cold, but I will dress for it. Hopefully, the new cat will have a chance to explore while I'm gone and acclimate to her surroundings.
Have a great day

@Walela617 thank you @iLive2Walk wow snow ❄️ not something you see here in many parts of Australia. It’s currently summer.
Finally got those scales down - now I’m less than when I started at least even if it is by 100g! Super tired this week so rest has been my priority. Hoping to get 3 days exercise in still.

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been with group for a while. I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. With the help of this group I made it to the ideal weight loss range. Logging in Daily really keeps me on track. Now I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again. This round, I am going to change things up a bit - going to post my goal accomplishment daily, but only weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

I have been working on Improved Health's 25 days to a Stronger You program on youtube. Just finished the program yesterday - really enjoyed it and I do feel stronger. It's five days of strength (alternating body parts), with a plank every day then two days of rest. Each session is just 10-15 minutes. I liked it - but going back to strength every other day and a full body longer session. Just easier to keep track of my weeks!

Before weight loss we ate out a LOT; with it came appetizers, the meal, dessert, and drinks. I have also given up drinking except for an occasional drink while on vacation, or a special occasion. It was too much of a temptation for me so we rarely go out now, and the alcohol buzz makes me forget about my goals and resist all temptations. Now that I have gotten to my goal weight, I keep saying that we should go out on a date once a week - hoping to figure out how to go out without blowing the whole week. Figured Wednesday after my weigh in would be a good day - that way I have all week to recover. So we are starting that today. My plan - eat only half of what they serve - save the rest for leftover breakfast or lunches. Split a dessert - one drink!

This looks like a great group!
I like the idea of daily habit checking, with posting weight weekly.
I need to :
1. Exercise at least 3 hours a week. 1/3.
2. Eat at or below tdee daily. 4/7
3. Eat minimum protein daily. 7/7
4. Be in bed by 12 pm.
5. Be up by 8.
6. Dressed, teeth brushed, bed made 30 minutes after waking.
Jan 1 184.2
Jan 15 181.2
Jan 22 184.2 I've been here before!
1st goal = 170
I had a good few days, then I just fell apart. Hopefully I'll get it together soon.

Weekly catch-up with the gang!
@tbris4 Thanks for sharing the pilates plan - I checked it out. I don't know if I could fit the "plan" into my routine - but will definitely use her channel for my weekly "stretch-type" workout. Yes, I find that maintenance is just as hard as losing and the daily posting of my goals keeps me honest and accountable. By the way - Melting Pot - not sure how you can log - but I am so jealous. I haven't been to one in a while - but so much fun and YUM!
@deepwoodslady So glad you found a new contractor - hoping this one works out and gets the job done. It has been a really long time that you have had the contractor chaos in your home. I bet if you look at your journey - the weight loss slowing will match up perfectly with the rennovation. Let the old contractor and his issue go - it's a new day, as you say one day, one step, one decision at a time! By the way - I will stop complaining about my frigid temps - negative 11 is rediculous!
@ozdeelite Nice progress photo! It's amazing how much a photo shows all the hard work. I couldn't see any progress until I starting taking them monthly. Looking good! Wising it was summer here - the bitter cold is depressing.
@walela617 Hope kitty get's used to the new surroudings. I am sure that she will venture out while you are gone and warm up to you gradually. Don't know her story - but am so happy that you rescued her.
@corina1143 Good for you for coming back even with a small gain. Prior to your committment all days were off plan, am I right? Just keep coming no matter what - small steps are better than no steps and it will all come together. Soon the on plan days will be a habit!
@jm216 I love to shovel too. We have a snow plow - but I always make Greg leave me a bit just so I can do it (unless its the really heavy wet stuff). Funny, when I am shoveling I don't even thing of the cold.
@its_cleo I had a knee injury last year that made my exercise routine tough. Is your hip injury permanent, or is it something that you have to deal with for the rest of your life. Paul Eugene's you-tube channel got me through my injury - he has a LOT of seated, and wheelchair exercise routines.

Hi everyone,
The scale showed a gain from last week, even though I've been extra careful over the past five days, but - at least I'm still not drinking any alcohol ("Dry January" and beyond)!
My new cat is still adjusting. She came out late last night again. Her rummaging around kept waking me up; so I only got about 5.5 hours sleep last night, but that's okay; I'll go to bed earlier tonight. (Hopefully, while I'm at work today my cat will explore a bit and get more used to her new surroundings.)
Well, I promised to report honestly; so here goes:
01/01/25: 153.0
01/08/25: 156.4
01/15/25: 153.6
01/22/25: 155.4 (Loss this week: UP 1.8, Loss for Challenge so far: UP 2.4)
It doesn't look like I will meet my initial goal of ten pounds down goal by Spring. At least I hope to take off five pounds by March 19th; then I will start up another challenge for the Countdown to Summer! For this challenge, with ten days remaining, I hope to take off about 2-3 lbs. by the end of this month; so that I'm at least back down to my January 1st weight.
Have a great day!

Hi All!
🎉🎆Happy New Year!!🎆🎉
I am a mom of five, trying to lose my last few pounds.
Goals for January:
Pre-log my day's food every morning! And update logging before dinner.
Check in to this group every morning.
January 1: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 2: 127.6
January 3: 127.6 Yesterday the last of the Christmas cookies, chocolates, and egg nog got hold of me.
January 4: 127.6 I've been pre-logging in the mornings; but then I get derailed sometime between 3-7PM. I'd like to tackle that; maybe if I take the time to update logging right before dinner. There's always a lot of shuffle and/or chaos right before dinner, but if I can manage to take some time to update my logging during that time, I think that will help. So, I'm adding that to my goals above.
January 5: 127.6
January 6: 128.6
January 7: 127.8
January 8: 128.6 ❄️ I logged!
January 9: 127.6 Yesterday I actually logged the way I'm supposed to. (As in, pre-logging and then keeping up with the logging during my challenging hours of late afternoon/early evening.) I increased my calorie goal by 200 calories and kept my laptop handy.
January 10: 127.4 ❄️ I logged
January 11: 127.8
January 12: 128.8
January 13: 129.4 I want today to be the day that I change my habits.
January 14: 129.8 ❄️ I logged! Yesterday was the same old same old. But I am proud of how I did today. I had a really busy day with plenty of excuses to not log or to throw in the towel, but I logged and did pretty well. I have been reflecting on why I have been repeatedly failing & falling into the same bad habits. I think a lot of it might have to do with meal timing. Since August we have been on a different schedule; a much later schedule, with dinner often happening very late. I think it's really causing a problem for me. I get sooooo hungry in the afternoon; throw in the towel and overeat; then eat a lot *again* at dinner. Starting today I'm trying to have dinner earlier; and trying to eat enough in the morning and afternoon so that I don't get so hungry that I go nuts; and, in the afternoon, reminding myself that dinner is happening soon. At any rate this worked today and it's my new plan for now.
January 15: 128.4 ❄️ I logged! I did it again. The plan from yesterday worked again. Ate more in the morning and afternoon, didn't get overhungry or hangry in the late afternoon, and ate an earlier dinner. 👍
January 16: 127.8
January 17: 128.4
January 18: 127.4
January 19: 127.8
January 20: 127.8
January 21: 127.8 I think. I think I weighed but forgot to record it. I'm pretty sure it was the same old same old.
January 22: 127.8

@iLive2Walk Hard to forget the old contractor when he keeps bothering me through texts or keeps ringing my cell phone and my house phone. I'm trying to just ignore him on every level! I love hearing your new "date night" plan. I'm learning so much from you about maintenance. I can't wait to get there. Have fun tonight! @jm216 I'm right there in the shovel club with ya'll. I also love to do it though I have to limit myself due to my heart issues. Jill knows that in Michigan we might as well love it. We really don't have much choice here! Lots of snowing going on out there this morning and below zero temps again here in Northern Michigan. Day 3 of schools being closed.
@Walela617 Thanks for the updates about your new kitty. It gives me such joy!

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

01/21-193.2-(Trend Weight 192.9)- Oh, how I start each day with such gusto! With the innocence of a child, really. I pre-log my food, plan some exercise and feel full of such hope and obedience! Then it all seems to go south-to Hell in a hand basket as they say (whoever THEY are). Today I am here to try again to save myself from obesity, high A1C diabetic numbers and so much more (yes, knees included). I’m entering today with reckless abandon and hoping I remain as strong as I feel in this moment. Cocky me, with coffee in hand. It’s easy when you are not hungry yet! But my promise to myself and my pledge to all you hardworking people is that I will give it my very best again today. I will throw it hard against the wall and hope it sticks. -11 F degrees actual out there right now. -28 F Windchill factor. Day 2 of schools being closed. Brrrr…. Maybe I will shiver off some calories today!
01/22-191.4-(Trend Weight 192.8)- I’m surprised at the drop. Meals were good again but sneaking into the night time snacks is still happening and needs to stop. I have identified it as intense sugar cravings and emotional self-sabotage eating. I’m still going round & round with the old contractor. My only relief is that the new contractors are moving along very well though they do have many prior commitments that sometimes brings things to a stall. Weather is ridiculously cold here and they are dealing with helping multiple people or small companies with frozen pipes etc. Day 3 of no school here due to below zero temps. I have not been sleeping well or sleeping enough as the emotions affects that too. I feel like I’m just a mess. However, TMI cooperated so that explains the scale read this morning. Stay warm folks! And for those in warm temps, stay cool. Stay cool…..Hmmmm……That sounds like something I would have written in the 1970’s in a high school year book! I hope you older folks got a chuckle there!
