Female 58 yrs old –My name is Donna 5’ 5” Midwest USA
WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT LINEAR.
THIS MUCH I KNOW……..WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN.
Starting weight -235
September starting weight – 178.8
Current weight – 175.2
December goal by the end of December : 157.2 (18 pounds)
Ultimate goal – 145 (by Valentines Day)
I will be weighing in on Tuesdays based on the challenge starting day. I will also weigh on or near the first and last day of each month for a monthly total. In December I will weigh on the morning of the 24th instead of the 25th. I will be experiencing lots of water bloating foods on Christmas Eve night with family which would only be temporary weight gain. I don’t want one night to undo the entire month’s stats. Besides, I will be waiting for Santa on the morn of the 25th and too busy to weigh as I listen for those sleigh bells.
My Stats:
Sept 25 - 175.2 Challenge Starting Weight Hefty 18 pound goal through the most challenging Food Smacked holidays in the USA. Okay. Let’s do this folks!
Sept 30- 173.8
September Weight Loss………………………….. - 1.2
Oct 02- 174.0 Not proud of my last couple of days.
Oct 09 - 174.8 Bad choices. Not enough movement or water. I don’t like this, but I deserve this.

Oct 23 - 177.8 Not proud of this. Out of town unexpectedly most of the week to the big city to help DB after his surgery. Lots of take-out and way too many carbs for my own good. So much has been taking me away from home (my safety zone when it comes to food). The next few days continue to be a heavy “away from home” schedule. Pray for me. This never goes well. I yearn to have things settle down again.

@cpanus and @cdavisdeva ..... We are the only 3 left. Even our host jumped ship. Shall we abandon this particular challenge and just stick to "Just give me 10 days" and some others?0
-
1) Thank you for creating this challenge. For now, my goal would be to lose 2 pounds a week, (on average) from today, 10-27 till 12-27.
2) My starting weight, when I first used a weight loss app (Lose It) was 142 pounds with a BMI of 30 (11/5/2014). By March of 2015, my BMI was 41. Every year, I gained weight... till my 5’3 frame was carrying over 200+ pounds...
3) I (finally) stopped doing the YoYo routine (weight gain/weight loss) this Summer... nearly 4 years later... (I learned what works, for me.)
4) My Starting Weight in 2018 -212 lbs
July 25, 2018 - 206
Aug 29, 2018 - 197
October 25, 2018 starting weight -186 (39 BMI)
December goal - 170
Ultimate goal - Unsure somewhere between: 115-135 lbs & a BMI in the low 20’s.

Welcome! No rules. Just post your weight once a week on day of your choice. You can copy/paste one of our date formats if you like. It's always nice to read how your week went. Any motivations you've had. Share your strengths and weaknesses if you like so we all can learn, and also realize we are not alone in our journey. Very happy to meet you.
