            I was hoping to see 143 this week but still hanging around 144. Definitely going to add more exercise this week and see if that helps because I have been slacking in that department. Not going to cut calories just yet.
 Hope everyone is keeping at it! 5 5

 5/11: 253. I got down to 242 before christmas, basically maintained until spring break (when the shutdowns started and in person school stopped) and gained 10 back. It's time to start taking this serious again.
 5/17: 251.4. Good loss this week. Went out walking every day, 3-5 miles. Going to try to get at least 5 days in this week, if not all 7.

            I'm aiming to reach my UGW this round. 
 I got a new scale the first week of May so I gained what I lost the last challenge. 
 Oh well, a gain or loss was expected.

            MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 60 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.
 Start date: May 1, 2020
 Challenge Starting Weight: (From April 30th) 207.9
 Challenge Level: ✴✴✴
 Challenge Goal weight: 192.9
 05/01 – 207.7 Good luck everyone!
 05/06 – 204.9 Traveling today, which is never good in the food OR exercise category. I will try to maintain some degree of self-control and dignity however, being from a very very small town, entering the city is mind-blowing and temptation is on every corner. I’ve got to stay cool.
 05/09 – 204.8 Making progress but traveling today which will be a set-back in both diet and exercise. I’ll work hard to mitigate any damage all week. It’s my birthday on Mother’s Day so I am going to give myself the present of progress!
 05/13 - 205.1 Notsogood after travel this past week but I’m back and stronger than ever!
 05/20 - 204.3 Better, but still not up to my standards. Working harder is in my future.
