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

    Start Weight (from Feb 28, 2023 ): 191.6
    Goal Weight: 186.6 (5 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Weight: Unknown due to medical issues
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    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.



    03/01-191.6-(Trend Weight: 192.8)-

    03/08-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.7)-

    03/15-188.8-(Trend Weight: 191.0)-

    03/22-188.2-(Trend Weight: 190.1)- It’s been a very hard week as my blood pressure has dropped too low. I’ve been afraid to exercise as it raises during then severely drops under normal circumstances and with it running on average about 81/41 that could be deadly! I stopped one of my bp meds until I see an improvement. It has come up slightly. If I don’t see a return to normal soon, and the ability to take my meds again I will have to call the cardiologist which is very far away. So my diet has stayed on point but my exercise is null and that is really slowing things down. It makes a bigger difference than I even realized! I am thrilled with the improvement in my trend weight. It is a reflection of my dietary changes and I just couldn’t be happier. I am down several pounds this month. I don’t think I’ll meet my goal because of the lack of exercise which, in the end will affect the second half of the month, but I am still losing a little and the trajectory is good. I love seeing all the progress and comments in this challenge!

    03/29-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I am still struggling with some health issues. Bloated due to the inability to take my water pill prescribed for my heart condition. Abstaining from weighing until my bp issues are settled and I can properly take my meds and exercise again. Supporting all of you in your personal efforts and goals! You are doing great! Keep moving forward toward those dreams!

    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.


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