My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 184.8
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 199.8
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: Unknown due to medical issues but I know it is down from start 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.

03/06-191.2-(Trend Weight: 193.0)-

03/13-189.4-(Trend Weight: 191.6)-

03/21-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve changed my weigh-in day to Tuesday because I travel on Mondays for my cardiac rehab. I can change it back when I have completed the CR program. I’ve been very sick these past few days with extremely low blood pressures (Avg 81/41). No exercise or major movement here. Don’t want to push the heart too hard so there has been no calorie burn. Upside is that I’ve stuck to the diet plan so there’s that. Finally after 2 days and self-stopping my bp meds, my bp is up within range that is acceptable and I’m feeling a bit better. I may try something simple like the exercise bike today. If I could burn at least 2000 overall calories today I will be happy! My complete burn has only been 1800-1900 these past couple of days. That is what happens when you are stuck on the couch taking it easy! Otherwise, it has been a pretty good week. A lot of improvement in my trend weight because of it.


03/28-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I am heading north today to get my tax package to my accountant that moved quite far. I have not been able to take water pill due to bp drops as well as all this travel. All the more reason I am not weighing as I am bloating bigger. I have massaged my ankles and abdomen this morning in the hopes that it will help. Yet more restaurants today too along with lots of sitting. I am not allowed to exercise right now until they figure out my bp problems anyway so I suppose it’s okay. Hopefully the cardiologist will get back with me sometime today on the bp numbers I dropped off yesterday.


03/31-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I guess April will have to be a re-do of March for me due to my medical issues. But I’m not giving up! Moving forward. Finally no travel today. Sticking to plan, babysitting DGS and pre-logging food for the day. Staying hopeful.
