    Original starting weight: 271.9
    Challenge Starting Weight: 243.8
    Challenge Level: 5 stars (24 lbs)
    Challenge Goal weight: below 220 (218.8)
    Ultimate goal: 160

    Nov 1: 243.8
    Nov 8: 240.2
    Nov 15 239.0
    Nov 22 237.4.
    Nov 30: 241.2
    Month 1 stats: down 2.6 this challenge, best this month was down 6.4. Carrying about 4 lbs of excess water right now, so fun.

    Dec 5 237.6
    Dec 13 240.2
    Dec 20: 238.2
    Dec 30 240.0.
    Month 2 stats: down 1.2 this month, 3.8 this challenge.

    Jan 3: 239.6 dealing with personal/professional stuff right now. First of all, i hate my job so much. So, so much. Cried every time i thought about it for the past week. So bad. Next, one of our students was shot dead Wednesday morning (not my class, but still). Been counseling students while trying to deal with it myself. Which is hard no matter what, but it is my first time through this. The candlelight vigil was tonight and because of the location and situation i was really worried about retaliation gunfire, but it has been over an hour and no news has come up, so it probably ended without any more of my kids getting hurt...

    Jan 11: 236.0. Down 7.8 this challenge, 35.9 from my starting weight. I had been “stuck” at exactly 239 all week, and had a big woosh this morning. I started taking my iPad to the gym with me and have been watching Brooklyn 99 during my workouts. It’s lighthearted and fun and has been doing a good job at keeping me going. Been to the gym 3 times this week for a total of 80 workout minutes. Want to do at least 90 minutes this next week, and maybe even add in a 4th day.

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 59 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.



    Start date: November 1st, 2019
    Challenge Starting Weight: 188.0
    Challenge Level: ✴✴✴✴ (16 lbs.) Pretty ambitious during all the major holidays!
    Challenge Goal weight: 172.0

    November 01: 188.0 Good Luck Everyone!
    November 06: 186.0 Happy with the progress for this week. I can see that the right choices combined with some movement really does pay off. Just a little slower at my age than it used to be, but still so rewarding. I am traveling on the 11th, which will likely set me back. So I'm feeling a little trepidation about my next weigh in, but I'll do my best to recover quickly!
    November 13: 188.6 Emotional eating related to health issues and worries. I am going to focus on the positive and give it my very best efforts!
    November 20: 184.6 I worked hard this week. Especially in the calorie burning category. I am trying not to let things get to me in regards to my test results. Still waiting for more news since the last call 1 week ago today. No news is good news, right?
    November 27: 187.8 This is the morning after a travel day where I had lots of sitting in the car & a restaurant meal. I practiced portion control but the mashed potatoes & gravy & dinner rolls apparently had carbs. Seriously though, I did expect an increase this morning but yikes……. Working on it today. My Thanksgiving dinner is not until Saturday so that will affect the December weigh-in. I’ve got a few days to make November a little better!
    November 30: 182.4 Happy with weight but tomorrow is my Thanksgiving Day Feast so my weight will not likely be a number I’m proud to post!

    Total Loss for November……………… -5.6
    Total Accumulation of Weight Loss for Challenge………… - 5.6 lb Loss




    December 01: 187.4. Thanksgiving dinner last night with my family was wonderful. I ate child-sized portions but I did sample a few desserts. Even very small samples add up. But 5 pounds overnight when my calories in were less than my calories out? Humph! Okay, carbs hate me and I hate them right back so the real battle begins. My weight will be back down very soon!
    December 04: 182.6 Okay, that’s better! Only 0.2 lbs over my lowest weight before the Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration. Travel this upcoming week. Lots of car sitting, but lots of walking & shopping involved too. There will be restaurants but I am going to knock down every pound that pops up as a result of my travels. No worries. I feel pretty strong.
    December 11: 188.8 I guess I wasn’t so strong afterall!
    December 18: 188.2 Not doing well at all. Just standing in the same spot wrapping most of the time, or doing year-end paperwork required for my business. No exercise in sight. This is seriously depressing!
    December 24: 192.0
    December 31: 191.2 Look out January, Here I come with my boxing gloves on!

    Total Loss for December……3.8 GAIN……..
    Total Accumulation of Weight Loss for Challenge………… 3.2 GAIN



    January 01: 189.2 Happy New Year Everyone!
    January 08: 190.6 From bad to worse. Time to get serious!
    January 15: 189.7 Finally in the right direction.

I’ll be lucky to be back at starting weight this challenge, but if glucose can be brought back into submission, next round will be better.

    January 29: 191.8 Obviously a complete failure and totally derailed during the holidays. My final weigh-in is always the last day of the month. I will strive to get it a little lower by then. I want to start the next challenge at the possible lowest so I can get even lower from there! That is the only way I can get anywhere so I will be working my little tail off the next couple of days!

    This Challenge has given me the impetus to actually keep going, when in the past I have slipped back each time I got near to my goal weight. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. It has been invaluable to me.

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 59 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.



    Start date: November 1st, 2019
    Challenge Starting Weight: 188.0
    Challenge Level: ✴✴✴✴ (16 lbs.) Pretty ambitious during all the major holidays!
    Challenge Goal weight: 172.0

    November 01: 188.0 Good Luck Everyone!
    November 06: 186.0 Happy with the progress for this week. I can see that the right choices combined with some movement really does pay off. Just a little slower at my age than it used to be, but still so rewarding. I am traveling on the 11th, which will likely set me back. So I'm feeling a little trepidation about my next weigh in, but I'll do my best to recover quickly!
    November 13: 188.6 Emotional eating related to health issues and worries. I am going to focus on the positive and give it my very best efforts!
    November 20: 184.6 I worked hard this week. Especially in the calorie burning category. I am trying not to let things get to me in regards to my test results. Still waiting for more news since the last call 1 week ago today. No news is good news, right?
    November 27: 187.8 This is the morning after a travel day where I had lots of sitting in the car & a restaurant meal. I practiced portion control but the mashed potatoes & gravy & dinner rolls apparently had carbs. Seriously though, I did expect an increase this morning but yikes……. Working on it today. My Thanksgiving dinner is not until Saturday so that will affect the December weigh-in. I’ve got a few days to make November a little better!
    November 30: 182.4 Happy with weight but tomorrow is my Thanksgiving Day Feast so my weight will not likely be a number I’m proud to post!

    Total Loss for November……………… -5.6
    Total Accumulation of Weight Loss for Challenge………… - 5.6 lb Loss




    December 01: 187.4. Thanksgiving dinner last night with my family was wonderful. I ate child-sized portions but I did sample a few desserts. Even very small samples add up. But 5 pounds overnight when my calories in were less than my calories out? Humph! Okay, carbs hate me and I hate them right back so the real battle begins. My weight will be back down very soon!
    December 04: 182.6 Okay, that’s better! Only 0.2 lbs over my lowest weight before the Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration. Travel this upcoming week. Lots of car sitting, but lots of walking & shopping involved too. There will be restaurants but I am going to knock down every pound that pops up as a result of my travels. No worries. I feel pretty strong.
    December 11: 188.8 I guess I wasn’t so strong afterall!
    December 18: 188.2 Not doing well at all. Just standing in the same spot wrapping most of the time, or doing year-end paperwork required for my business. No exercise in sight. This is seriously depressing!
    December 24: 192.0
    December 31: 191.2 Look out January, Here I come with my boxing gloves on!

    Total Loss for December……3.8 GAIN……..
    Total Accumulation of Weight Loss for Challenge………… 3.2 GAIN



    January 01: 189.2 Happy New Year Everyone!
    January 08: 190.6 From bad to worse. Time to get serious!
    January 15: 189.7 Finally in the right direction.
    January 22: 189.6 Still fighting the severe glucose drops which lead to frenzied eating to bring back in line. Some improvement this week on that. A small episode last night was quickly handled and disaster averted. T2D sucks, especially after the holidays when everything ends up so out of whack! I’ll be lucky to be back at starting weight this challenge, but if glucose can be brought back into submission, next round will be better.
    January 29: 191.8 Obviously a complete failure and totally derailed during the holidays. My final weigh-in is always the last day of the month. I will strive to get it a little lower by then. I want to start the next challenge at the possible lowest so I can get even lower from there! That is the only way I can get anywhere so I will be working my little tail off the next couple of days!
    January 31: 191.6 Backwards! But I didn’t expect the Holiday months to be the best. No looking back. Let’s kill the next one folks! Ready to slay!

    Total Loss for January………. +2.4 lb GAIN
    Total Accumulation of Weight Loss for Challenge……….. +3.6 lb GAIN
