    @Buckeyebabe717 What a beautiful pic! I have a new admiration for my mother now (who has since passed away). She had 6 children including a set of twins. My grandmother? 13 including twins!

    Thank you! I have four kids, two sons and twin daughters. The younger son and the twins were born almost to the day 12 months apart, so that is why all my grands are so close in age.

    Wow! Your mom and grandmother were busy saints with many blessings!!!!!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    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



    Starting Weight (from Feb 28th): 191.6
    Goal: 186.6 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight:

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    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.

    03/09-192.2-(Trend Weight 192.6)-


    03/10-191.6-(Trend Weight 192.5)-

    03/11-189.2-(Trend Weight 192.2) Well, here’s the true weight after the water pill took all the excess fluid out that I spoke of yesterday. What a relief to my ankles especially! Interestingly, the last two nights I dozed off on the couch and woke up STARVING TO ABSOLUTE DEATH, both times at about 12:30 a.m. I was so close to a binge it was UNBELIEVABLE! I found myself justifying (out loud, mind you) why it’s okay for me to eat whatever I want right now, and in large quantities. Why I should just shove in many kinds of foods and “get it out of my system” as long as I’m so hungry anyway. I tell you folks, it took EVERYTHING I HAVE INSIDE THIS NEARLY 63 YEAR OLD BODY to stop myself. I grabbed a handful of almonds (21 of them to be exact, which is ¾ of a serving) and I ate those, drank water and focused back on something on TV. It worked both nights. Hunger banished because of the healthy fat. I would have grabbed walnuts (so healthy) but I had already had some during breakfast both days. I’m so glad I did this two nights in a row as I know it has helped continue my weight loss. I knew, by the way, that I had already had sufficient calories, carbs, protein etc. or I would have eaten something more. My body was fighting the weight loss. We were in a bitter battle – I won this time.

    03/12-189.0-(Trend Weight 191.9)- My underwear are too big now. That’s all I have to add. I hope that gave someone a chuckle or put a smile on someone’s face today. It did mine!

    I have a doctor visit on Wednesday this week. I had a blood test last week so hopefully my blood work comes back great. I saw him right at the beginning of Jan just after I started my weight loss so he should be pleased with my weight loss.

    Have a great day! <3
