    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol, some osteoporosis and coronary heart disease with a stent in my heart. I am working to get healthier. I know losing weight and exercising more will help all of these issues.


    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM June 30 2022): 201.0
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 186.0
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    08/05-200.2-(Trend Weight: 201.2)-

    08/12-197.8-(Trend Weight: 200.4)- I have been pretty careful most days as I heal from the surgery. I have not been allowed to get in much movement however, but I still managed to drop a bit. My daughter is getting married on Sept 3rd. Lots of planning going on. I am working hard to look my current best (or better). I am very happy, especially, to see my trend weight going down.
    08/19-201.6-(Trend Weight: 200.0)- Scale is up from so much medical travel this past week. But I am happy to report that I had my annual cancer remission mammogram and oncology appt and I am still in remission and cancer free. Now, to get back to the business of weight loss. I was given a new doctor in the mix, an endocrinologist (diabetes), and he’s a grouchy old man who is not happy. He blames the diabetes for my heart issues too. I’ve got a LOT of work to do and I am hoping to avoid insulin with weight loss.

    08/26-200.6-(Trend Weight: 200.3)- Down one full pound from last week. Not bad after so much travel this past week while working on continued medical issues. Next stop: A Doppler on the legs to check for suspected blockages and a pulmonary test since the heart stent did not relieve the breathing problem. Maybe COPD from my old smoking habit? I quit 15 years ago but damage is damage I suppose! What I am missing through all this is some exercise. However, I am not even allowed to take walks right now. I have to go through 12 weeks of cardiac rehab where all of this will be introduced under medical supervision to prevent another heart attack. Lack of exercise makes watching my diet more important than ever if I am to lose weight. And the diet is always the hardest part for us all, isn’t it? I’ve got to stay focused and positive. I can do this.

    Hey all.

    So sorry I haven't been around. I haven't been eating properly still the last month and I dropped 12lbs in 2 weeks. Not a good way to lose weight but I'm slowly starting to eat more again like normal. Can't believe it's nearly my birthday already (16th September) and nearly the end of another challenge. I will definitely do another one and hopefully be more active! All the best

    09/09-198.7-(Trend Weight: 198.5)- Did I miss a few weigh-ins or did it not save to my notes? Hmmm. Anyway, happy to see my trend weight is way down from the 1st of the month. Weight is steady but sometimes down even slightly more. My daughters wedding was wonderful and I did pretty good with the food choices that day. That helped. Travel today for medical. May the beautiful Queen Rest in Peace. She will be missed.

    @ashleycarole It looks like it is just you and me so I am dropping off this challenge. We can meet up at the other challenges we are both a part of.
