My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from 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


This Challenge Starting Weight (from Feb 29th): 177.0
Goal: 173.0 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this month: 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.


03/01-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- No weigh Friday as I get up extra early to get grandson ready for the bus. I only weigh later if I lay back down but today I can’t. Also I take my once-per-week Fosamax on this day with 8 oz of water upon waking. Yesterday was a good clean eating day but hardly any movement or exercise so my calorie burn overall was very low. Today will probably not allow me much better. One of the new windows was put in yesterday in the bedroom and floor in bath was prepped for new sub=flooring. A flurry of activity here. Well, my friends, Its a new month. Time to “March” into better health and a more optimal weight (for most of us). Let’s go!

03/02-178.0-(Trend Weight 179.3)- I feel so much in common with @judefit1 right now! And it is amazing how so many of us can bounce up and down and all around the same weight for quite some time before seeing a new weight that sticks. It makes the weight loss take so much longer but, at this point, I’m grateful for any response as a plateau is horrible. According to my records, I have been bouncing/flirting between the high 170’s and low 180’s since mid-November. That is nearly 4 months now. It’s time to get into the low 170’s and really claim my ground. I’m still struggling with the night time snacks about every other night. It’s a strange pattern and seems like the need to overindulge comes after a drop on the scale mostly. I chalk it up to my body trying to get the ounces or pound back as an instinctive practice/trait of survival. I’ve learned so much about my body and responses since joining MFP. It’s truly amazing. Loaded with so much info I do feel I will eventually succeed. While I don’t know when, I do know that I’m on this crooked, hilly, deviating and sometimes deceiving path for some pretty important reasons and those will continue to push me toward my goals and my personal finish line. I’m really hoping March will be a good month for me, for all of us.

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!! Hoping this accountability will help me get started.

🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃

March 01: 156.4 😁 👣 📝 💪 💦 Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.
March 2: 156.8 👣 📝 🫀💦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!

Hi All,

This is my 7th month with this group! I'm 5'2" and I've just hit my target weight of around 124 lbs. One of my goals at this point is to lose maybe 2 more pounds or so and figure out what my maintenance weight range should be. Another goal is to start running again.

Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for March: 122.0 lbs ?

March 1: DNW. I'm sick! I feel terrible. I am not going to weigh or log until I feel better.
March 2: 122.6 ☘️ I logged I was very sick yesterday and the previous day, and didn't eat very much. Today I am feeling a little bit better.
March 3: 121.8 Well I think my weight loss is because of my sickness, and I would like to stop losing at this point. I logged yesterday and my calorie intake was a little under goal but not super low. I'm going to increase my calories a bit. I am getting better but still sick. I am looking forward to getting better and getting back to routine, getting to my March goal of exercising, and also eating more than just chicken noodle soup and juice!
