Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost 90 pounds. I got to my goal weight in the last quarter of 2024, and now tackling the maintenance phase. There aren't too many maintenance threads on MFP, so hopped on this thread in January. I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again, but will be happy just to stay in the ideal BMI range the rest of my life. I weigh/check in on Wednesday and the end of the month.
My Weekly Goals
- 🥅 Stay under Ideal Weight (140)
- 🎯 Work on buffer - (137) whenever I get there is fine.

Starting weight: 138.6
☔April 2: 138.8 All previous Weekly Goals Met! A tough week for me - my daughter came home unexpectedly for the weekend, which led to three of the seven days over my daily calorie goal and salty! I did manage deficit this week - a whopping 30 calories.
☔April 9: 137.8 All previous Weekly Goals Met.
☔April 16: 138.8 Over a bit on my weekly TDEE (98 Calories), Met all other GoalsContinued to work on the Hop River Trail - missed a few days but we made it to Mile Marker 13 (26 miles for us - as we have to go in and out).
Here are some of the highlights:
Day Six: 3.2 Miles - Chilly, and the trail was next to a busy road. Not my favorite part of the trail.
Day Seven: 3.5 Miles - Beautiful waterfall, and a walk through the Andover Sportsman Club.
Day Eight 3.4 Miles: Three towns, six bridges, pretty streams and gorgeous rock formations - This section had it all.
Day Nine 4.2 Miles: The CT Deep State Parks Division was conducting hazard tree removal along this section of the trail. It was amazing how many trees they took down. Logs piles every 50 to 100 feet for almost two miles. The trail did have some nice rock cut outs and streams, but the most interesting part, was the spooky tunnel that ran under route six.

If anyone is interested, the next round of the Biggest Loser Challenge will be starting at the beginning of May. I have been a member of the group since the Spring of 2023 (the beginning of my weight loss journey), and they helped me to lose 90 pounds and get to my goal weight. It's a fun and creative group, comprised of twelve different teams. It kept me accountable and motivated - a fun competition but in a very supportive way. I like it so much became a co-captain of one of the teams (Determined Desert Tortoises). Here's the link to the challenge if you want to check it out.

Dr. Halls bmi says 175 is healthy for me. Surely I can make it that far. I just need to try a little harder. I WILL do it.

@deepwoodslady That 5 lb loss was coming off a cruise vacation. I think it was mostly water weight coming off. Definitely an anomaly.

04/07 – 195.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 194.9)
04/14 -- DNW (Trend Weight -- DNW) Nopity-Nope to the scale today. Spent yesterday evening in self-sabotage mode and it was bad. Really bad. Every bit of worry and stress has seriously caught up to me. Perhaps tomorrow or the next day will see me back on the scale and if so, I’ll come back and report it so that I will have a baseline for next week. Snow expected today and tomorrow here in Michigan. SOS appointment today to renew license becoming Real ID compliant. Time to renew tabs before May birthday anyway. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I’ll pass the required eye exam with my eye issues including (but not limited to) that hole in the back of my right eye. Seriously worried.
☔️☔️04/21 – 195.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 196.5) Easter was very simple this year due to the ice storm issues at each family members houses. Of course, we made sure that all the grandkiddos got their gifts from the Easter Bunny. Dinner was simple but, as you might expect, salty. I plan on drinking lots of water today. Weight is down today on the scale. I’m very pleased as I was extra thoughtful of my partaking yesterday and it looks like it paid off. However, we all know it sometimes shows up a day or two later so I’ll be keeping a watchful eye. Tomorrow is family dr appointments for son and I. We will go out to lunch afterward as is his habit. They will be checking our glucose numbers. It won’t be pretty. I expect a scolding.

Hi. I'm Jennifer. 41. I started again December 20th at 308lbs. My highest weight. My first goal is 200lbs. Ultimate goal is 155lbs.
Struggling the last few weeks. Weight keeps fluctuating and I can't seem to reach the 270s. Very frustrating.

Starting weight: 138.6
☔April 2: 138.8 All previous Weekly Goals Met! A tough week for me - my daughter came home unexpectedly for the weekend, which led to three of the seven days over my daily calorie goal and salty! I did manage deficit this week - a whopping 30 calories.
☔April 9: 137.8 All previous Weekly Goals Met.
☔April 16: 138.8 Over a bit on my weekly TDEE (98 Calories), Met all other Goals
☔April 16: 138.6 - All Goals Met - under my TDEE 311 CaloriesWe finished the Hop River Trail. This was a fantastic experience. The trail doesn't compare to the Airline Trail that started my weight loss journey (IMO), but it was a very nice trail to conquer. I am already looking forward to planning our Summer adventure.
The official end mile marker says 20.4 miles. The Hop River State Park Trail documentation says 24.8 miles. I am guessing somewhere in between. My Tracker logged 42.93 miles (remember it's an in and out trail). We completed in twelve days, averaging about 3.5 miles a day.
Now I am working on a soft 75 challenge - actually started the same day as the Hop River Trail. I am 22 days in and going strong. It is a "soft" challenge that I made up on my own. Love the concept of the hard challenge (and in awe of anyone who can do it), but know that I am not perfect, and persistence not perfection was the key to my success (and making everything game). It's still hard!
Here are some of the highlights of the last three days on the trail.
Day Ten - 3.3 Miles
Things are starting to bloom, I found a jack in the pulpit - my favorite and the daffodils were abundant!
Day Eleven - 5.5 Miles
It was a workout - just to get to the trail. These are the stair to get up there from the parking lot.
And the bridge from below and above:
Day Twelve - Last Day - 5.17 Miles
A beautiful walk - you would never know that you were in the middle of a city.
