Loss 0.4 kg (0.9 lb)
Weight loss this challenge 5.5 kg (12 lb) over 10 weeks is 0.55 kg per week or just over 1 lb per week.
I've met my challenge goal with a week to go. However, I'm away on holiday for a few days from March 18th, so I'm happy to be losing a bit more just now.
I’m happy with where I am – I had a couple of meals out last week, including dessert on Monday. I’m eating out again this week. I’m happy that I can socialise and enjoy evenings out and still lose weight. I do avoid alcohol and I do try to make sensible choices, but I hope that this means that when I transition to maintenance, I won’t put the weight back on. For me, exercise is the key, this is what I stopped doing when I retired and if I can make it an integral part of my life again, I should be healthier and fitter again.
Good luck to everyone!

12/31 - 151.8 going back down in the right direction. Looking forward to finally seeing that 149!
1/7 - 153.2 My normal Monday bump. Uggghh, I wish I could keep it together through the weekends to, lol.
1/14 - 154.2 Drank a couple of beers last night and had a big dinner. Always gain after beer.
1/21 - 154.0 A little down from last week.
1/28 - 153.4 Lower all week last week, but really low on my water all weekend. We spent most of it driving. Should be lower next week.
2/4 - 153.7 I don't know why I retain water so bad on the weekend. I had a 6 pound gain in 2 days. I did drink a lot yesterday for the Super Bowl though. Water and more water today.
2/11 - vacation - no scale
2/18 - 157.7 Got back last night from our 7 day vacation! 2 airplane rides, tons of alcohol, tons of food, hardly any water, but an amazing time. My 2nd oldest turned 18 right before we left, so we also had a big party. Hopefully next Monday will be better! I am not doing well this challenge at all!
2/25 - 155.5 uuugghh! Still going down. This has not been a good couple of months at all
3/4 - 154.9 Going back down. TOM did not help at all last week. I am determined to finish in the 140's.
3/11 - 153.4 continuing to do better on the weekend and lose. I would love to be able to weigh in on a Monday and be in the 140's. That is a goal I am setting for the month of April. March I just want to continue getting back to where I was.

I need to get back on track after the holidays. My actual current weight is 156.3 because I enjoyed Christmas a little to much, but my average weight before the last couple of days was 152. I will post my first weigh in this Monday 12/31. Hopefully by March I have reached my goal of 140!post my first weigh in this Monday 12/31. Hopefully by March I have reached my goal of 140!

My name is Donna. I am 58 years young and am about 5' 5" tall. I am from the Midwest where it is blistery cold during this time of year and storms are frequent and unforgiving.
Original highest weight 253.0
Final goal weight: 145 by Halloween 2019
January Start weight: 185.5
Challenge weight goal: 185.5 by March 31st, 2019 (revised)
I have done great in 2018 but got off track in the fall & early winter. I am re-dedicating myself to a healthier me!
I will weigh in approximately once per week but not usually the day after a travel (restaurants & water retention).
Jan 02- 185.5
Jan 08- 183.3 Working it back down. January is redemption month. I’ll work hard to redeem myself after the holidays!
Jan 15- 186.2 Horrible emergency regarding my home/business. Everyone is okay but this will be a long drawn-out process. Restaurant runs for food (too many carbs/calories) and eating my emotions as well. I am going to try to get back on track as much as possible today and not let this derail my efforts. I’m just so very thankful that no one was hurt!
Jan 21: 187.1 Stress eating after tree fell on business roof. Problem still being worked on. Insurance inspections on all my homes & businesses has caused lots of work and quick restaurants. I’ve incorporated some aerobic dancing into my rountine and that will help. Weight should improve by next weigh in.
Jan 29: 184.8 Finally showing a loss! I’ve been aerobic dancing which is really helping. I’ve finally dipped just below my starting weight on this challenge which makes me feel a whole lot better. Everyone is doing great! I’m lagging behind a bit, but I’ll meet you all at the finish line on the 31st! I’m looking forward to February because I’m feeling strong. Thanks to @erminater for the support! We're in this together and I appreciate that very much!

I weighed myself Monday morning but didn't post here as I was going away for a few days. So I made my goal weight for March 18th!
However, I'm home again now and weighed in at 52.5 kg this morning 
. I expect it's mostly just water retention from the travelling - I didn't pig out too much and I did swim 30 mins in the hotel pool each day. I'll wait and see what the next official weigh-in on Monday is. 0 -

A small gain this week – but I did have four hotel dinners (with starters and dessert each day) and four breakfasts. I weighed in at 52.5 kg on Saturday morning but I guess that was mainly fluid retention etc from the travelling. The hotel had a pool and I did 30 minutes swim each day as well as a couple of hours walking round the towns we were visiting each day.
So I've made my goal weight for this challenge.
My ultimate goal is 50 kg so not far to go now.0 -

Mar 25: 188.8 Wow. Only a 1.2 pound gain after 5 days of traveling, restaurants & sitting…sitting…sitting. I did much better than I thought I would. An Excellent NSV! However, revising my goal to just staying the same during the worst of the winter months is proving to be difficult & probably impossible. I would have been happy just to not have a gain. Sad.

My name is Donna. I am 58 years young and am about 5' 5" tall. I am from the Midwest where it is blistery cold during this time of year and storms are frequent and unforgiving.
Original highest weight 253.0
Final goal weight: 145 by Halloween 2019
January Start weight: 185.5
I have done great in 2018 but got off track in the fall & early winter. I am re-dedicating myself to a healthier me!
I will weigh in approximately once per week but not usually the day after a travel (restaurants & water retention).
Jan 02- 185.5
Jan 08- 183.3 Working it back down. January is redemption month. I’ll work hard to redeem myself after the holidays!
Jan 15- 186.2 Horrible emergency regarding my home/business. Everyone is okay but this will be a long drawn-out process. Restaurant runs for food (too many carbs/calories) and eating my emotions as well. I am going to try to get back on track as much as possible today and not let this derail my efforts. I’m just so very thankful that no one was hurt!
Jan 21: 187.1 Stress eating after tree fell on business roof. Problem still being worked on. Insurance inspections on all my homes & businesses has caused lots of work and quick restaurants. I’ve incorporated some aerobic dancing into my rountine and that will help. Weight should improve by next weigh in.
Jan 29: 184.8 Finally showing a loss! I’ve been aerobic dancing which is really helping. I’ve finally dipped just below my starting weight on this challenge which makes me feel a whole lot better. Everyone is doing great! I’m lagging behind a bit, but I’ll meet you all at the finish line on the 31st! I’m looking forward to February because I’m feeling strong. Thanks to @erminater for the support! We're in this together and I appreciate that very much!
Jan 31: 186.9 Ugg.
JANUARY GOAL : 185.5
JANUARY ACTUAL: 186.9
……………………………..TOTAL LOST IN JANUARY: GAIN 1.4 lbs.
Feb 01: ….. 186.9….. Still.
Feb 04: …..186.9….. Trying not to eat emotions during family crisis.
Feb 11: …..186.7…..
Feb 18: …..188.8….. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. As you can clearly see, I did. Nice Luncheon. Nice potluck dinner that night. Indulged too much & paying for it now. 3 days of travel in this upcoming week so Sitting + Restaurants = Disaster for 3 days. I’ll try my best but I will be out of my controlled element longer than I want to.
Feb 25: …..188.6….. Working hard on this particular pound. I hope to keep up the momentum.
Feb 28: 188.8
FEBRUARY GOAL : 185.5 (revised)
FEBRUARY ACTUAL: 188.8
……………………………..TOTAL LOST IN FEBRUARY : +3.3 ugg
Mar 02: 188.8
Mar 04: 189.2 I am truly my own worst enemy!
Mar 11: 186.6 Finally! I did a 3 day Egg Fast this week & increased my movement. I will slowly start to integrate my Keto foods back into my diet today.
Mar 18: 187.6 I hope you all enjoyed St. Patty’s Day. Off to some heavy traveling this week. Wish me luck!
Mar 25: 188.8 Wow. Only a 1.2 pound gain after 5 days of traveling, restaurants & sitting…sitting…sitting. I did much better than I thought I would. An Excellent NSV! However, revising my goal to just staying the same during the worst of the winter months is proving to be difficult & probably impossible. I would have been happy just to not have a gain. Sad.
Mar 31: 189.6
MARCH GOAL : 185.5 (revised)
MARCH ACTUAL: 189.6
………………………………TOTAL LOST IN MARCH: GAIN 0.8
WEIGHT LOST SO FAR: 4.1 GAIN
Challenge Weight Loss GOAL: To at least be where I stated with no winter weight hanging on going into spring! (revised)
ACTUAL Weight Loss for Challenge: I gained 4.1 lbs uggggg.
Challenge STARTING Weight: 185.5
Challenge ENDING Weight : 189.6
CHALLENGE FINAL NOTES: It’s not so much food choices as it is control for me & I am just really realizing this. For awhile I have focused on what I was eating more than how much. My NSV is that I greatly increased my exercise during this challenge, even in light of such brutal winter where I am.
