Female named Donna from the Midwest USA ….. 5’ 5” tall
Highest Weight Ever: 253 (2014/2015)
Original MFP starting Weight on this current journey: 235.0 (Jan 11, 2018)
Challenge Starting Weight: 174.0
Challenge Goal Weight: 154.5
Challenge Ending Weight: TBD
My Plan: To lose 1.5 pounds per week for 13 weeks (19.5 lbs total) and end at 154.5 on Christmas Eve Morn. Then I want to enjoy my Christmas Eve night with family, wake up on the 25th and listen for Santa’s sleigh bells. I will CAREFULLY enjoy myself between Christmas and New Years and reassess on January 1st and get busy with the final leg of my plan.
Final Goal: To weigh 145 by Valentine’s day.
DON’T FORGET TO SCHEDULE YOUR MAMMOGRAM!
Oct 01 - 174.0 And Away We Go! Good Luck Everyone. I don’t know what happened to the original person starting this challenge but I’m still in if you all are!
Oct 08 - 174.8
Oct 15 - 175.4 Oops I did it again.
Oct 22 - 177.8 Went to DBs to help him after surgery. Enjoyed big city with big food. Calories I controlled pretty well. Carbs got me badly. Next week I will attempt to post in the color red instead of the color green. I will be food prepping today!
Oct 29 - 177.0 I can’t believe I managed to pull off a small loss. I was up much higher this week after multiple traveling trips. I have gotten rid of the water retention I think, and now I can get down to the business of fat! My Mammogram and doctors appointments at the University Hospital turned out great. They did not detect any breast cancer so I am still in remission. I will see you all on November 5th!
Nov 05 - 177.2 Lots of travel this week. It won’t be pretty.

My goal weight is 145lb. I'd like to be 230lb or less by Christmas but that might be a bit ambitious! I am eating 1600 calories a day. No exercise yet. I am 41 and female.

I’m in! I just started back on my fitness pal today after a few years of not using g it. I’m aiming for 12 weeks focused to get to my goal weight. Main thing for me is getting enough calories, that’s been an issue and avoiding sugary junk food. So holiday season, laser focused! Let’s do this!3

Happy with the weight, heading in the right direction. Once it's under 80kg I might just maintain. The body fat gain is annoying, readings taken first thing in the morning (6am) before work out. I usually take reading post workout but thought the dehydration might have been a factor in the increase. No idea why it's heading up, the weight is dropping and I'm working hard in the gym yet the scales say my bf is increasing. I demand a recount!6 -
SW - 80.5 kg (Been 82kgs at some point)
Xmas GW - 76 kg or less!! (To take me out of obese BMI range)
Easter GW - 70kg (Further 6kg to reduce by 21st April 2019 for Big holiday !!!!)
First GW - 58kg (Fall into healthy range of BMI atleast by sept 2019 and run often during daily commute.)
Aug 29 - 80.3 kg
Oct 01 -
Oct 08 - 80.5 kg
Oct 15 - 79 kg (Coming week I try to get weight under 79 kg)
Oct 20 - 79.2kg ☹️ not a good number... Also weighing early as I am off for holiday. I don’t expect a good week too. I will start off again!!!
Oct 22 - On holiday
Oct 28 - 79.4kg (Gain after holiday 😖)
Oct 29 - 79.9kg 😔 I am not sure what happened and I increased weight. I did everything almost right. Anyways, coming week, I will again try to reach the 79kg mark
Nov 05 - 77.5kg (I think something wrong happened at last weeks weigh in with my body, I was certainly feeling less.. After that weigh in, I have had an minor oral surgery which is making eating tricky. But I have also reduced carbs so less rice portion. I walked my first 5K last week 🔆. Coming week, I want to come closure to 77kg.)
Nov 12 - 77.3kg (Festival + One bday party = slow progress. Must review eating and exercise plan to speed up weight loss. Starting dance class 💃🏻 and aiming 2 5K walks this week)

Don't think I'll be making the christmas goal now, but will try to get closer anyway4 -
Oh, the inhumanity! (OK, a bit melodramatic, but couldn’t help it with the upcoming American Thanksgiving holiday and a tip of the hat to the turkey drop by WKRP). I had thought that I may have had a real possibility of posting a loss of a good pound, based on numbers I was seeing throughout the week. I’m holding onto hope because of that! I had not seen that number for years and years and years...

I'm so close to goal, just hope the upcoming Thanksgiving fests (yes, feasts with an s...doing 2 days of bug meals) 🤪doesn't derail me. I'm hoping I've learned a good amount of dedication and focus over the past 7 weeks to keep me on track. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Spent all morning thinking that my weight last week was 157 and I'd have to point a gain. So glad I have a terrible memory!8 -
Oct 1- 122.6
Oct 8- 121.8
Oct 15- 124.6
Oct 22 - 124.8 I appear to be going backwards. Not surprising, since I went to a food festival yesterday.... Gotta remind myself that just because it's a "special occasion" or whatever excuse I want to use, doesn't mean I have to shove food into my pie hole like the Apocalypse is coming. This time of year has tons of "special occasions" and that mindset is not going to help matters.
Oct 29 - 120.4 I am not under any delusions that I've actually lost 4 lbs in a week. The previous number was an early-morning weigh-in after an evening of, if not exactly gluttony, certainly eating with abandon. My weight tends to fluctuate a lot, (in fact I'm up a pound and a half today from Monday's weigh in), so I just keep reminding myself to look at the trend rather than individual days' numbers. That's why I like challenges like this, so it keeps me looking at longer-term results rather than being disappointed with day-to-day fluctuations.
Nov 05 - 123.8 Still fluctuating like mad, but at least I'm down a pound from the previous weeks of mid-October. Hopefully it will be steadier now, but my will power this time of year is nil, and the holiday treats are already out and about! It also doesn't help that today is national donut day and my boss brought some in to celebrate!
Nov 12 - 124 Ugh. Some bad decisions this past week that I had hoped the weekend of not overdoing it would balance out. Alas, no. As frustrating as it is, it's good for me to see this so I can remind myself that my actions have consequences!

Nov 12 - 177.6 Okay, I warned everyone that it wouldn’t be pretty. I travelled 5 days this week and hit over 180 pounds! Getting back down to this by weigh-in day was a hard earned miracle. I am back home in my “safety zone” for a few days so it is slowily coming off as I stick to plan and drink debloating water. I hope everyone will have a great week!
