    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.

    05/06-193.0-(Trend Weight 192.7)- I woke up starving today probably because I had such a good food day yesterday. However, there was a severe lack of exercise except for all the stairs over & over as I babysat my DGS all day yesterday. He’s staying the whole weekend so I’ll be on my feet quite a lot. He’s 5 and needy lol.

    05/07-194.0-(Trend Weight 193.0)- Dinner out last night with son. We don’t go out to dinner very often unless we are out of town (sick of the couple of restaurants we have in town). Lunch out today with my oldest DD. So nice to spend some time with her. Restaurants are definitely dream busters in my life but it’s a big week. My birthday and Mother’s day, all upcoming, so it’s going to be rough. If I could at least maintain this week I would be happy….

    First UP day, after five DOWN days. That's ok - tbh, I was surprised that I had five DOWN days in a row. That's the highest string of DOWN days I've ever had, and only I achieved that a few/couple times. It's usually at most 3, possibly 4, in a row DOWN days. So, ok. It's all good 😁

    Cheers!

    Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!
    My goal for May is to get moving! I am such a procrastinator when it comes to this and I set it as a goal every month and NEVER do it. The weather should cooperate now.

    May goals:
    πŸ’₯Walk 3x/week
    πŸ’₯Lose 4 or 5 pounds

    OSW: 250
    OGW: 150
    5/1/23: 199.7
    5/31/23 goal: 195

    5/1: 199.7
    5/2: 199.7
    5/3: 199.7 🀨
    5/4: 199.7
    5/5: 199.0
    5/6: 199.0
    5/7: 198.7 *walked*

    5/8: 197.8 (!)
    It’s a new week. I’m going to try really hard to go for a walk or at least get my steps in 3 days this week. I’ve been feeling really tired so it’s a delicate balance.

    @jm216 I meant to send this the other day; congratulation on the graduation. What did he get a degree in?

    @joans1976 How do you feel today, hope each day gets better! Take extra good care of yourself.

    @deepwoodslady I hear you, social situations are tough. You got this, enjoy your birthday and mother's day. β€œAll these bumps in the road are just there to make you fly." Tamara Geraeds

    @39flavours Love how you keep yourself accountable. Where do you find those cute emojis?

    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.

    05/07-194.0-(Trend Weight 193.0)- Dinner out last night with son. We don’t go out to dinner very often unless we are out of town (sick of the couple of restaurants we have in town). Lunch out today with my oldest DD. So nice to spend some time with her. Restaurants are definitely dream busters in my life but it’s a big week. My birthday and Mother’s day, all upcoming, so it’s going to be rough. If I could at least maintain this week I would be happy….

    05/08-193.4-(Trend Weight 193.2)- It was a quiet day yesterday. I was exhausted after DGS left yesterday. 3 days of babysitting including overnights was tough on this old gal. I ate a bit too much at lunch yesterday with my daughter but I made up for much of it the rest of the day. No exercise. Layed on the couch most of the day trying to get my gumption back after minding my grandson! Much to do today!
