Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
Ma4 4, 2019 starting weight - 144.0 (ten-day rolling average 142.1)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 142 - 148)

I achieved my goal this Winter, and I've been trying to keep it off.


May:
May 5: Should be May 2; I was away from scale since April 28. 144.0 (10-day average 142.1).
May 30: 144.0 (10-day average 144.8)


June:
June 6: 145.4 (10-day average 146.0)
June 11: 144.0 (10-day average 145.4)
June 20: On the river!
June 21: On the way home from the river! Scale weight June 22 was 143.2.
June 28: 145.2 (10-day average 145.0)

August 10: 142.4 (144.4 or 142.7 depending how you count) **
August 16: 143.8 (10-day average 144.5)
August 23: 146.2 (10-day average 146.5)
August 30: 146.0 (10-day average 146.7)


Weight lost this week: Effectively no loss. That's not terrible, except I'm still up from the beginning of the month. But I am back down from a small jump I seemed to make about ten days ago and am moving back towards my goal. Essentially, once again, I'm maintaining a few small pounds over my dang goal.

August Goal: Keep my ten-day average to weigh at or below 143 (starting March 1 at 144.9)
August Actual: I think this goal may be too low since 143 is my goal, so my ten-day average should move around it. The trendweight app said I was gaining well over a pound a week last week, but that's coming back to something sustainable.

Challenge Weight loss goal: Maintain between 142 - 148.
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: Well, at least by this metric I'm doing alright. To be honest, I have revised this goal and expanded it to 140-150.

Donna from the Midwest……Age 59 yrs young…..5’ 5 1/2” Tall






NO Ifs…….JUST WHENs

I will be weighing on the 1st and last day of every month. 

HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER: 253 IN 2014/2015
STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 235 ON 1/11/2018

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 196.4


May 01: 196.4
May 06: 195.0 That’s an improvement & right on target with my goals to lose 1.5 lbs per week (6 lbs per month).
May 13: 192.7 Just after my Birthday & Mother’s Day celebrations. So I’m very pleased with this.
May 20: 194.1
May 27: 194.3 A slight tick up. Working on it this week & in a very good place physically & mentally. I hope to see more loss in the next couple of days in spite of the Holiday BBQ & festivities.
May 31: 195.6

May Goal: 190.4
May Actual: 195.6
May Loss/Gain: 0.8 Loss


June 01: 195.6
June 03: 194.8
June 10: 194.2
June 17: 198.4 Too much travel
June 24: 196.4 Okay, its finally going back down & all the good planning is paying off! I’m back to day 1. Here’s to going the right way this time on the scale! I’m changing my goals because what I had is impossible (safely), and I need something I can actually reach for. I am still sticking to my 6 lb per month wish.
June 30: 196.0

June Goal: 195.0
June Actual: 196.0
June Loss/Gain: 0.4 Gain

July 01: 194.6
July 08: 195.9 Dang Holiday!
July 15: 195.8 A setback this past week but back on top of things and down 0.1 over last week {which is better than nothing!) Next weigh in is just after a huge lakeside birthday party for DGS. I am going to change the weigh-in date so I have time to recover & reflect true weight, not bloat and water weight from carbs!
July 24: 196.2 Went back up from the birthday, then crawling back down now. Travel today won’t help the cause but I should be able to flush away the damage by next weigh in with water, water, water….
July 29: 199.7 This is what traveling for 4 days looks like on me. If I swallow my spit & it has calories, I will be 200 again. Not gonna let it happen!
July 31: 199.7

July Goal: 188.4
July Actual: 199.7
July Loss/Gain: GAIN 5.1 flipping pounds!


August 01: 202.0
August 05: 198.8
August 12: 199.8 I went up nearly 3 pounds overnight after a low sugar binge. And I was doing so much better!
August 19: 196.0 Better but stalled the past couple of days. Finally I am at a deficit for the challenge instead of a gain! I just have to keep working harder! I have to cut the mustard & start playing Ketchup!
August 26: 193.0 Some travel expected this week including today. I hope I can keep it together so I can show any sort of loss for the challenge!
August 31: 192.6 Much better, but no where near goal.

August Goal: 182.4
