    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 176.2
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Sept 30th): 188.2
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: 181.4


    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


    Just a friendly reminder to you all because I care about you. Please don’t forget to schedule your mammograms and do your self-checks.

    10/23-184.4-(Trend Weight: 186.1)-

    10/30-183.0-(Trend Weight: 185.2)- One dinner out this week set me back but I’ve recovered. Today I am at my lowest weight since 2018. I know I have a long way to go yet but I’m proud that I am overcoming so much. The greatest part is that my morning fasting numbers for my diabetes are improving tremendously. That alone helps a lot in the weight loss because of the physiology of Type 2 Diabetes. But it works both ways. My numbers going up makes losing weight almost impossible physically so I need to keep that in mind going forward. The closer I get to goal, the better my glucose is running. I am getting healthier!

    10/31-181.4-(Trend Weight: 184.9)- I've exceeded my goal for October and for that I am very grateful.

    Weight loss is not linear. It's not just you :) I find it helps to focus on consistency in my behavior (eating right, exercising & taking time to recover, getting enough water & sleep, reducing stress). When I'm doing everything I can to make progress, progress will come. It will never be a straight line, but it'll happen in time. Don't get hung up on the numbers you see on the scale.

    Looks like you were holding onto some water weight. I have seen dips of 3-4lbs in a day for me, and women are more prone to holding onto water. I'd just make sure you're drinking a lot of water, and not going too far over your sodium limit. But great job overall!

    Thanks @takinitalloff and @evileyefirefly. I'm going to put less stock in what's on the scale and more stock in how I'm feeling day-to-day. Also watch my sodium intake which has not been a priority. Have to remember this is a marathon, not a sprint :smile:

    Unfortunately, I have had back to back travel situations for work, and it’s hard to stay consistent with a specific meal plan and/or working out when that happens. This is the first time during these challenges that I actually gained weight. It’s crazy because there’s a small part of me that feels like giving up. However, I am talking myself into keep pushing forward, and I know that this is a lifestyle change. I am going forward.

    Hi. Another tough week where I struggled. I’m having a difficult time eating right. The level of stress at work is debilitating. I tend to eat my stress. I really have to dail it back, and learn to put myself first. I’m always been really bad at that. Everyone else’s needs seem to come ahead of my own, and I know it shouldn’t be. I am disappointed at myself for letting it happen. I’m going to make sure I log my foods. I haven’t been doing that lately. Next week will be better. Onward and upward…goal wise, not scale wise. Lol.
    Wishing you all a great week.

    @evileyefirefly I agree with you. You can’t deprive yourself for life. And this weight management thing is very much a life long marathon, not a sprint. That said, The problem is that once I taste sugar, it makes me crave it more. I think that’s what sugar is designed to do. What should be a very sporadic thing, turns into a regular thing. I’ve never been able to find that happy medium. I’m better off not having it at all, at least for now, until I can manage the craving better. Thanks for your feedback.

    I'm challenging myself to eat at home, no restaurant food unless it's a social thing and then I'm allowed a drink/small appetizer. 😋

    October 9:152 It's progress! 😁
    October 16:152 Went off track while on mini vacation this week and ate at a lot of restaurants! Back to it today...
