    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 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 Dec 31st): 183.8
    Goal: 179.8 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    **********************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.

    01/28-181.6-(Trend Weight 183.3)-

    01/29-181.6-(Trend Weight 183.2)- I’m hoping to land back in the 170’s in the next week or two. It’s a bit of a stretch right now but I think my arm may be…..a..l..m..o..s..t…..long enough to reach it. Apply yourself Donna! Get it and keep it!

    01/30-181.2-(Trend Weight 183.0)- I’m planning on taking a friend out of town today if the roads are cleared up. We had snow last night. I’d like to hit another small town nearby (about 40 miles each way) for a particular restaurant. They also have a bakery in that town so maybe I could get her a birthday cupcake or something. Last night was a tough night getting through without bingeing. My son has some creamsicles in his freezer and I had to hold myself back from going down there and getting two of them. One would not have satisfied me as the craving was so intense. The only thing that stopped me was that I like the creamy kind best. I started imagining that the store brand ones were probably like popsicles with the cream inside, not the creamy ones. I can live without popsicles and so I kept that popsicle image in my head until the craving passed. I also had this overwhelming feeling that it didn’t matter what I ate last night since I’m going out of town today anyway and likely blowing it. You know, that all-or-nothing attitude. Then I told myself (again) that just because I am losing the air in one tire tomorrow, doesn’t mean I have to let the air out of the other three. It worked. I’m so glad I made it through. Sometimes I don’t. The scale may be up a bit tomorrow due to the birthday celebration but I will try to stay as close to my macros as possible.

    Hey friends! My name is B - I live with my husband and two kids and work in community mental health. I've never not struggled with my weight, so I'm focusing on long term habits so I can live a longer and more active life with my family.

    Monthly Habits:
    Log all my food 🥙
    Work out 3x/week 🏃‍♀️
    8 glasses of water💧
    Self Care Activity 🧶

    Sept weightloss: 6.7 lbs
    Oct weightloss: 3.1 lbs
    Nov weightloss: 2.3 lbs
    Dec weightloss: 2 lbs

    ⛄️❄️ JANUARY ❄️⛄️
    1: 🥙🧶
    2: 🥙🧶 My husband was sworn into town council tonight and we went out with the family to dinner to celebrate! I'm guestimating the calories but we had a great night ❤️
    3: 🥙
    4: 🥙 Weatherman is calling for snow this weekend! Grabbing some groceries and looking forward to a weekend at home.
    5: 🥙🧶
    6: 🥙🧶💧🏃‍♀️ First work out since getting over covid and feeling so much better!
    7: 🥙🧶💧🏃‍♀️
    8:🥙🧶
    9: 🥙🧶🏃‍♀️
    10: 🥙🧶 This day was rough. Calling it a night and starting over tomorrow.

    18: 🥙🧶💧
    19: 🥙🧶💧Kind of a blech day - I got too cozy with my sons bag of peanut butter M&Ms and then I got a headache from the sugar. Now I've napped and just focusing on a fresh start tomorrow.
    20: 🥙🧶🏃‍♀️

    1/27 ⚖️ 216.3 lb not surprised it's up, increased workouts and change in eating is effecting my system🥴. ✍️ Food logged, started within calorie range, increased water. 🚴 Peloton and core video

    1/28 ⚖️ 216.5 still not surprised, just irritated. Super tired today. ✍️Log and journal done. Much better on water. Stayed within calorie range, but poor food choices
    1/29 ⚖️ 216.1 journal and food log complete. Some time in the sun today with some white 🍷. ✍️ All in the my food diary. Journal and log done

    Jude, 66 YO, 5'2"
    SW 1/1/24: 147
    GW 1/31/24: 142
    Hi, this is my first time in this challenge and I'm very happy to be here! I'm 66 YO, 5' 2" and officially overweight (again). Gained back 20 lbs in 2 years. My main goal is to lose the weight and change my habits to a sustainable lifestyle that allows me to eat well and maintain my fitness.
    Wk 1 EW: 142.6
    Wk 2 EW: 141.4
    Wk3 EW: 140.2
    Wk4 EW: 139.2
    End WT: 139.2
    Total Loss: 7.8 lb
    Really happy with my result. The big loss was boosted by the "holiday spike", which was what woke me up to what I was doing- ignoring my habits and pretending it was all OK. Most important, I'm eating well and thinking about these changes as permanent patterns that I can maintain for life.

    This was the first time I found these challenges ( I am doing 3- short, long and longest) and it's made an enormous difference in my mindset, so thank you all for sharing your stories and your journey with me!
    See you tomorrow in February!
    Thank you @jm216 for setting up the next challenge!

    Happy New Year!

    Welcome to your year of refocusing on becoming a healthier you. We’re all in this together.

    Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan.

    My goals for January :
    ⚖️Weigh- in daily
    📝Log daily
    🙆‍♀️Stretch daily/ Exercise 3x per week- starting at 15-20 minutes of beginner dance workouts
    Get back down to under 200 pounds
    Hang out in the 190’s for awhile.
    My ultimate and hopefully sustainable goal is 185.

    Starting weight January 1st:
    Jan 1: 205.6
    marks the start of 2024
    Let the fun begin!

    Jan 2: 204.5
    I love January! New Year reset has begun. I moved my daughter back to college today and got to spend all day with her. I’ll miss having her home for the holidays, but she’ll be home for the weekend in less than 10 days.

    Jan 3: 203.4
    It’s amazing what logging everything and exercise can do! Feeling fabulous. 🥰 Time to do some quick exercise with Up to the BEat fit with Gina B on YouTube then it’s time to take down the Christmas tree and decorations before heading back to work tomorrow.

    Jan 4: 203.3 Happy Thursday friends! Today is my Monday. Time to get back to work and keep up with the good habits.

    Jan 5: 202.8 😁😄😃
    Jan 6: 202.7 😁😁
    Jan 7: 201.7 I love waking up and getting on the scale again. Happy Sunday!❄️
    Jan 8: 202.8 not gonna stress… part of the process. Happy Monday. 🥰
    Jan 9: 203.2 over indulged in salty wings while watching U of M play in the National Championship last night. Great game and tasty food. Gotta eat more veggies today to compensate.
    Jan 10: 204.6 It’s amazing how quickly the scale reacts to a day of mindless grazing. Need to stop the slip back into bad habits now.
    Jan 11: 204.7

    Jan 27: 203.1 ... hanging in there
    Jan 28: 203.4 ... Still down for the month...can do it!

    Hello, I’m Heidi. I’m 55, 5’5” and I live in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area.

    My goals for January:
    1 - Weigh in daily
    2 - Begin light cardio/stretch/weight exercises
    3 - Maintain current weight or lose a little

    Weight:
    01.01.24 - 165.9 (.1 over my post surgical low)
    01.02.24 - 166.5 (swelling is going back up)
    01.03.24 - 167 (swelling is continuing to go back up)
    01.04.24 - 167.5 (calling surgeon to see why I am blowing up like a balloon)
    01.05.24 - 167.2 (surgeon says I am okay - here's to hoping it was just water retention!)
    01.06.24 - 166 (much better)
    01.07.24 - 165.1 (almost back to my post surgical weight)
    01.08.24 - 164.2 (swelling weight gain GONE plus .7 more!!)
    01.09.24 - 163.6
    01.10.24 - 163
    01.11.24 - 163.3
    01.12.24 - 163.1
    01.13.24 - 162.9 (oops forgot to post but I did weigh)

    Exercise:
    1 - Started small stretches (arms above head, side twists) which are going well. The pulling on my
    incisions was horrible at first but are less so after a week. I also started doing some modified
    bridges in the hopes that my healing abdominal muscles would start strengthening up. I am
    walking much better and even walked the entire trip to Costco and pushed the cart. The hubby
    still won't let me lift much except the small laundry basket!
    2 - I'm getting much more walking in this week and slowly building up my stamina after surgery. I'm stretching more and more now as well. I still haven't gotten true exercise in the form of biking or aerobics but that will come soon (I hope).
    3 - I can now walk for an hour or so without completely tiring out. I still can't push too much or I am a mess by the end of the day. I can lift @ 35 pounds now!
    4 - I am not as active as I wanted to be. That's okay since I am only two months out from major surgery. I am feeling good though.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 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 Dec 31st): 183.8
    Goal: 179.8 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: 181.6
    **********************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.

    01/29-181.6-(Trend Weight 183.2)-

    01/30-181.2-(Trend Weight 183.0)- I’m planning on taking a friend out of town today if the roads are cleared up. We had snow last night. I’d like to hit another small town nearby (about 40 miles each way) for a particular restaurant. They also have a bakery in that town so maybe I could get her a birthday cupcake or something. Last night was a tough night getting through without bingeing. My son has some creamsicles in his freezer and I had to hold myself back from going down there and getting two of them. One would not have satisfied me as the craving was so intense. The only thing that stopped me was that I like the creamy kind best. I started imagining that the store brand ones were probably like popsicles with the cream inside, not the creamy ones. I can live without popsicles and so I kept that popsicle image in my head until the craving passed. I also had this overwhelming feeling that it didn’t matter what I ate last night since I’m going out of town today anyway and likely blowing it. You know, that all-or-nothing attitude. Then I told myself (again) that just because I am losing the air in one tire tomorrow, doesn’t mean I have to let the air out of the other three. It worked. I’m so glad I made it through. Sometimes I don’t. The scale may be up a bit tomorrow due to the birthday celebration but I will try to stay as close to my macros as possible.

    01/31-181.6-(Trend Weight 182.9)- Uptick due to the out-of-town yesterday. Today I will zig-zag a lower calorie day and lots of water to help flush it all away. Down 2.2 lbs for this round. Today I await the news from my older friend on her pet scan. They found a mass the size of an orange on her lung recently and have been testing her bones and her brain to see if it has metastasized and to stage her cancer. Her two daughters are with her today and she will find out her options, if any. I’m praying for good news but in the last 3 months she has broken her hip and then fell again and broke her pelvic which is inoperable. She also has many small blood clots in her lungs they’ve been treating for about a year. To sit and speak with her, you wouldn’t even know that anything is wrong, she still seems pretty healthy so I’m just so confused. Please pray for Diana H.

    Hey friends! My name is B - I live with my husband and two kids and work in community mental health. I've never not struggled with my weight, so I'm focusing on long term habits so I can live a longer and more active life with my family.

    Monthly Habits:
    Log all my food 🥙
    Work out 3x/week 🏃‍♀️
    8 glasses of water💧
    Self Care Activity 🧶

    Sept weightloss: 6.7 lbs
    Oct weightloss: 3.1 lbs
    Nov weightloss: 2.3 lbs
    Dec weightloss: 2 lbs

    ⛄️❄️ JANUARY ❄️⛄️

    My takeaway from this month was using my past success as a guide. When I was feeling like nothing worked I went back a few months ago and copied the meals I was eating the. It helped me go back to some healthier snacks and go-to work lunches

    Hello, I’m Karen. 🥰I’m 62, 5’6” and I live in eastern Washington State. Just east of Spokane

    My goals for January :
    ⚖️Weigh- in weekly
    📝Log daily, MFP and bullet journal
    🙆‍♀️ Continue my personal daily push up/sit up/squat progressive challenge, 2 days a week at the gym, 3x a week on peloton.

    Original starting weight 288 January 2008
    Lowest weight 160 lb 2009
    Multiple joint injuries, 9 major surgeries and here I am starting over. I'm limited what I can do physically, but finding my way through

    ✍️ All food logged, came in within my calorie range. Still higher than I want for carbs. Graduated from PT today. Victory!

    1/27 ⚖️ 216.3 lb not surprised it's up, increased workouts and change in eating is effecting my system🥴. ✍️ Food logged, started within calorie range, increased water. 🚴 Peloton and core video

    1/28 ⚖️ 216.5 still not surprised, just irritated. Super tired today. ✍️Log and journal done. Much better on water. Stayed within calorie range, but poor food choices

    1/30 ⚖️ DNW conscious choice. All food logged in diary. No🍷 today. Lazy day which makes me cranky at myself which only makes it worse. Sigh
    1/31 ⚖️ 216.1. ✍️ All food logged, calories under calorie goal. Journal done. Lots done today.
