    @deepwoodslady Thank you. I'm really trying to get this weight up off me. I have arthritis in my hip and I have been limping around for too long.

    You're still down 2.6 pounds for the "month" (four weeks). That's over a half pound a week. At that rate, your goal will find you in eleven short weeks - just a couple months! Slow and steady. Keep sticking to it!

    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 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018. I weigh weekly but also on the 1st and last day of each month for a full month’s account.

    Start Weight (from June 30th): 189.0

    Goal Weight: (4 pound loss) 185.0

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Day 60β€”07/13β€”192.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.1)

    07/20 – 187.8 πŸ’  (Trend Weight – 190.4)I was slowly bringing the numbers down this past week and then I had a big whoosh a couple of days ago. I did have a high weight day after some travel but I managed to even it all out and begin progress again. That whoosh really helped! I am feeling pretty good about the days ahead (Except for upcoming Tuesday’s long day of travel). I think I can get this number a little lower for next weigh in. I am still 2.8 lbs over my goal for this month and I really don’t think I can reach that in time for my final weigh-in on July 31st but I am going to get as close as I can.

    πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ 07/27 – 186.2 βœ… (Trend Weight – 188.9) My weight jumped back up mid-week after my travel day and my DGS’s surgery but I’ve been slowly getting it back down. I do like the way my trend weight is dipping. I love it when it has faith in me and my future! I’m going to stick to my guns and keep at it while I have the momentum. If you are handed the ball…..Run with it! My goal for the month was 185.0. I don’t think I can lose another 1.2 lbs in the next 4 days for my final July weigh-in. Not after the drops I’ve made the past few days. But I’ll put the biggest dent I can in it and try not to self-sabotage, which is always a real danger.

    07/31 – xxxxx (Trend Weight – xxxxx)

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

    I hope July goes better than June as far as mobility. I had major knee and back pain issues in June and my walking etc was very limited. Now things are more normal and I hope to get out and move more. I have 8 lbs left to my goal wt which will be -73 lbs when I get there in hopefully late august. My goal for July is -1.0 lb per week. Have a great month everyone.Β

    πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ 07/31 – 188.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 188.1) As you can tell by my falling trend weight that I had a huge overnight jump up in weight after traveling yesterday. Sitting…. Restaurant food….. all the usual day travel stuff. I’ve been doing pretty well in July, especially the 2nd half. I just have to focus on getting this sudden jump back down and keep moving forward. See you all in August. 0.2 lb loss for the month based on today's scale weight .
