    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Start Weight (from Sept 30th ): 193.6

    Goal Weight: 189.6 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: 190.6

    Weight lost/gained this month: 3.0 lbs Lost





    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.


    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.8)-

    10/06-193.8-(Trend Weight: 193.8)-

    10/13-192.2-(Trend Weight: 193.2)-

    10/20-191.0-(Trend Weight: 192.6)-

    10/27-191.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)-It was a rough week where a little travel and a lot of cravings got the best of me. Having the Halloween stuff in the house has only highlighted to me that my willpower is still weak and I have lots of work to do. In fact, it’s pretty clear to me that I only do well when the tempting food is not around me. Clearly I haven’t learned to make good choices yet when choices are before me. Yea, I’m pretty great if I’m in an empty room with no food. Otherwise, not so much! This is a long….long….long journey and I’ve got a lot to learn still yet. I’m still ready to get there! Upside….trend weight is still coming down even if it’s likely due to my erratic week. I am still nicely below my October starting weight so, for that, I am grateful. I will be traveling later this afternoon until tonight and dinner will be out so I expect a bit of a temporary setback tomorrow morning on the scale. However, there will be 3 more weigh-ins after that and I hope to have good days and maintain or even improve my progress. Wow this is tough!

    10/31-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- A nice drop again after the TMI finally came along that was missing yesterday. Gravitating toward the 180’s slowly and in stealth mode. Perhaps I can sneak up on it and it won’t notice! Down 3 lbs for the month after making a quick turnaround at the end of the month. Hoping to keep up the momentum. Anyway, Have a safe evening my friends and lets try to remember that the candy belongs to our kids, grandkids and random trick-or-treaters. Not you or me. Yes, even the Reese‘s Peanut Butter Cups!


    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

    October 9: 150 (a day late posting)

    Not exactly the outcome I was hoping for, and it's easy to be frustrated as I have been working so hard! Well done everyone, hope to see you in the November challenge.

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
    January 1, 2024 Weight: 150.0 (10-day average 146.8)
    September 28 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 158.0 (10-day average 157.7)
    October goal: Get back to lower end of maintenance weight range
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    September 28: 158.0 (10-day average 157.7)
    October 5: 156.0 (10-day average 156.8)
    October 12: 152.8 (10-day average 154.3)
    October 19: 150.8 (10-day average 151.6)
    October 26: 148.0 (10-day average 149.7)
    November 2: 151.0 (10-day average 148.6)

    Total loss for October: I did pretty well in October. It appears I lost nine pounds. Wow. I end the month just above the top of my ideal maintenance range and solidly within my absolute maintenance range. I am down 7.1 pounds for the year. Yes, that means I gained from the beginning of the year before the beginning of October.

    Stick to it!
