    My name is Donna. I am 61 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US.


    145320379.png


    Start Weight (from Aug 31st ): 186.8
    Goal Weight: 181.8 (5 pound loss)
    End of Challenge Weight: 186.2

    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    Sept 01: …..182.8 (Trend Weight 187.8) I find this weight hard to believe today. 4 pound loss overnight??? (After a 2.4 loss the day before???) My scale is reliable and I stepped on it 3 times but I don’t trust this and consider it a fluctuation. I did everything right. I had TM. I finally slept over 4 and Β½ hours which is good for me> But that is a bit much. Traveling today and tomorrow. Plenty of sitting and restaurant food. I’ll be home each night and will keep up with the posts. Friday morning my scale reading will not be pretty but that is how I roll.

    Sept 05: ….. 188.2 (Trend Weight 187.8) I think the scale was inaccurate on the first. I will keep monitoring. However, I know I probably did go up 2-3 pounds due to comfort eating. I have had a very traumatic death in my family due to covid on a fully vaccinated person. Food doesn’t solve the problem so I am working on that but failing right now. Today is the large family BBQ with children and grandchildren to celebrate Labor Day. More food. I am hoping that next week’s weigh in will be better and less complicated.

    Sept 12: …..188.4 (Trend Weight 188.3) OMGosh you guys, Everyone has done so fantastic this past week! I am so proud of you all! You all will be my inspiration in the coming week! I have done pretty badly this past week due to stress eating from family death, plenty of travel, multiple medical appointments that involved travel, extreme health scares and home frustrations. However, I managed to reign it in yesterday and drop nearly a pound back off. I included lots of activity and kept my diet excellent until that late night snack. I will try even harder today. Turning this ship back around!

    Sept 19: …..186.2 (Trend Weight 187.5) Some improvement on what has proved to be a difficult week to coordinate my goals and plans. I am going to take the ball and run with it! I’m hoping for another good week. Outpatient Surgery coming up in a few weeks so I would like to be in a better place by then.

    Sept 26: …..188.8 Too much travel this past week and not enough exercise for sure. Struggling again (after the string of days away from home and plan). Hunger and cravings are back as my body was spoiled off & on this month. Feels like I’m back to square one but I’ll get through it. I am 2 pounds over starting weight and nowhere near goal. I suppose my goal now is just to improve everything by the end of the challenge. Any movement in the right direction will certainly help October.

    Sept 30: ….. 0.6 lost for the round is better than nothing I suppose. See you next round.

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

    @ashleycarole86 Oops! I forgot to post my actual weight for Sept 30th (today). It was 186.2. Anyway, thanks for the compliment on the 0.6 lb loss. I suppose it is better than a gain! I'm shooting for a better October for sure. Your comments and support always mean a lot to me. Keep crushing it, my girl! You are doing wonderfully and I am inspired by you too!

    September goal - 150
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

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


    Aug 28: 151.8 (10-day average 154.1)
    Aug 31: 153.6 (10-day average 154.2)
    Sep 4: 153.4 (10-day average 153.4)
    Sep 11: 151.8 (10-day average 152.6)
    Sep 18: 151.4 (10-day average 151.9)
    Sep 25: 153.8 (10-day average 153.0)
    Sep 30: 154.0 (10-day average 154.3)


    Total loss for September: Well... so much for September ending on a good note. Things were going in the right direction, but something happened about ten days ago I'm still working through. Phooey.

    For next month I am adjusting my goal up a few pounds. When I get there I will consider resetting it to what it has been for years. If the revised goal is more sustainable, then that's really fine. It's not what I WANT, but you can't always get what you want. I'll try sometimes. Perhaps I'll find that I get what I need.....
