    hi everyone, I’m a little late to the party but would like to join in regardless. 10 lbs would just about put me back in my happy maintenance range and I’ve been losing and regaining the same 3 or 4 lbs for the whole year so far.

    I’m 5’ 7” 56 and menopausal, usually pretty active but can’t seem to quit sabotaging myself at the weekends, also usually due to making bad food choices after a glass of wine (or two…)

    Current weight 144.6, goal range 130-135. Let’s go!

    Re: "today, when I clicked on BMI in Fitbit's weight section, it said 24.9 with a green dot and the caption of "Ideal". Boy was that NICE to see. I realize I am at the high end of Ideal, but 189 days ago, I was obese. So going from obese (maybe even morbidly obese) to over weight, to ideal BMI — that is a big milestone for me."

    That's a big milestone for ANYONE. Congratulations for a job Very Well Done!

    @faurotann I'll be looking up the post you recommended!

    My name is Donna. I am 65 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253. I would like to lose a total of about 100 pounds and have been working on it for too many years (since 2018).

    CURRENT MONTH:

    05/01 – 196.2 ❌ (Trend Weight – 194.9) 1000 calories yesterday and 58 carbs. No planned exercise but lots of extra movement due to some serious house projects. This makes no more sense than it did yesterday. All I can do is trust the process and keep going.

    🎪🎪🎪 🎪 05/06-DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Contractor showed up bright and early waking me out of bed. I didn’t know he was coming since he’s missed the past week. I didn’t get to weigh but I still am feeling pretty bloated from the Chinese food the other day. I also brought home 2 quarts of Egg Drop Soup from the restaurant that day which I’ve been using for lunch (4 servings of 1.5 cups each). That is probably still containing too much sodium although the calories and carbs are very low. That’s why I usually bring some home. I may weigh tomorrow and come back and post. It depends on how tight my rings are.

    I lost 2 pounds since I joined. Logging the food does help my mind with portion control. I need to schedule a pilates session for Monday.
