    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
    December 31, 2024 Weight: 158.0 (10-day average 157.2)
    July 26 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 155.4 (10-day average 155.4)
    August goal: Get below the top of maintenance weight range (153 pounds)
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    July 26: 155.4 (10-day average 155.4)

    Total loss for August: Posting a day early; I will be away from scale tomorrow. I'm down a third of a pound this month, which is better than a gain. I'm down 2.1 pounds for the year. Not great, but I'm still in a healthy weight range even if it's higher than I want.

    Keep sticking to it.

    For better or worse, I weigh daily and there were a lot of fluctuations this week. I was prescribed prednisone for a back issue and I'm in the tapering stages of it thankfullyβ€”I think that was the main cause of the roller-coaster ride. Also had an A1C drawn and it showed that I was "pre-diabetic" but at the lowest range of the scale (5.7%). The doctor didn't seem too concerned but I'm a little freaked out. πŸ˜• One last rant, the scale at the doctor's office weighed me in at almost 7 pounds higher than at home! Granted, I had shoes and clothes on, but wowza, what a kicker. I'm going to ignore that weight and keep on with my home scale because I'm not sure what else to do, lol. Have a good Saturday all! ❀️

    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 July 31st): 188.8

    Goal Weight: (4.8 pound loss) 184.0

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    08/17 – 184.8 ❌ (Trend Weight – 184.6)Well, you can tell by my trend weight that I did pretty well this week until I began to show a gain for several days in a row for no reason. In fact, I gained 3 pounds in two days. A few days prior to that I did have one 2500 calorie day, but otherwise, most days hovered between 1000 and 1200 calories and I worked out nearly every day too. Sometimes it just can’t be explained but I’ll trust the process and be grateful that I am still down a nice amount since starting weight for August. Keep going Donna, it’s bound to level off at some point!

    βš“οΈβš“οΈβš“οΈβš“οΈβš“οΈ08/24 – 187.6 ❌ (Trend Weight – 185.1) Well, the weight hasn’t β€œleveled off” like I’d hoped this week. And today’s is reflecting an overnight jump by 2 lbs after a birthday party yesterday. In the past two weeks, my body seems to be having a mind of it’s own that I couldn’t affect, no matter what I did. So to add this weight on top of it was disheartening. Time to roll up my sleeves, stick with the program, study my food diary and figure it out. 10 days ago on the 14th I weighed 181.8 so a 6 lb gain in 10 days just doesn’t make any sense. Especially when most of those days were spot on. Lot’s of homework to do here!

    08/31 – xxxxx (Trend Weight – xxxxx)

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

    That’s more like it! I knew it had to be a fluke last week!

    Still haven’t been able to really exercise. I’d like to incorporate a daily walk into my schedule, but it’s just not happening. Maybe September will be calmer.πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

    Keep sticking to it.

So in actuality, I have lost 3 pounds in the past two week which allowed me to not only finally achieve goal this month, but exceed it by a couple of pounds. I am happy how it all turned out in the end. The challenge in September will be to not only hang onto it, but to continue toward new goals. It’s been exciting, encouraging and inspiring to see all the progress and the efforts by everyone this month. We’ve got this! See you in September!
