    My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.
    Thank you Ruby Red 427 for starting another challenge.


    Start Weight: 197.0 (Weight on January 31, 2022)
    Goal Weight: 182.0
    End Weight: xxxxx

    Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

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

    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 1.2 lb GAIN



    Mar 01…..196.6…..(Trend Weight: 196.5)….. I am wishing a GREAT month for us all!

    Mar 07…..198.0…..(Trend Weight: 196.8)….. Truly a back & forth week which goes up and down approx 1 ½ pounds per jump. My inconsistencies are showing up on the scale as inconsistent weigh-ins. I shouldn’t be surprised.

    Mar 14…..198.2…..(Trend Weight: 197.6)….. I had my weight wrong last week. I have corrected it today. Up slightly when it should have had a substantial drop. I’m not trying hard enough!

    Mar 21…..198.0…. (Trend Weight: 198.3)….. Trend weight up big-time due to a week of ups & downs. Kind of swimming in place and not really getting much accomplished. Travel day today won’t help but I will be thoughtful the rest of the week. At least, that is the plan.

    February 1 to May 1, 2022

    Round 3 for me! I think I was 149-150 at the start of this. This round I’m treating myself like a scientific Guinea pig project ;) using the free National Institutes of Health “Body Weight Planner”. .
    Goal: reach about 126 lbs this round (-10), stay with my plant-based diet, keep using weights, and lower my cholesterol in the process.

    Feb 1 - 136
    Feb 7 - 135.5 (-0.5)
    Feb 14 - 135 (-0.5) Guess this is ‘mode operandi’ for now. According to the NIH site I should be about 134.5. So, I’d like to lose a full pound this coming week.

    Feb 21- 134 (-1) Yay! Worked hard for that one. Feb 28
    Feb 28 - 133 (-1)
    Total Loss for February -3

    March 7 - 132.5 (- 0.5)
    March 14 - 132.5 (-0)
    March 21 - 132 (-0.5) Looks like a bit of a plateau. (The weight chart says I should weigh between 133.3 and 130.3, so I’ll just keep on keepin' on.)
    March 28 -
    Total Loss for March
