    I started my first challenges last month, and tried a few to see which ones kept me accountable and motivated me. This is one I'm going to keep. Thank you Jill for administering. I'm in!

    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 April 30th): 192.6
    Goal: 187.6 (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.


    05/01-193.0-(Trend Weight 192.2)- I’m just not in a good space right now. The whole round has been bad for me but the last couple of days has been no willpower whatsoever. Pretty depressed and gotta get out of this funk. Gotta pull it together. See you next round where it will hopefully be better for me! Congrats to all of you who had scale, fitness and NSV’s.

    05/02-193.6-(Trend Weight 192.3)- The madness must stop! When I saw the scale I just wanted to crawl back into bed and put my head under the covers. I would love to get outside but it’s just too cold. Snow yesterday and today. It wouldn’t be northern Michigan without snow in May, right? I’ve got to cut the snacks and do some inside workouts. Maybe a little dancing will lift my spirits while burning some calories.
