    My name is Donna. I am 60 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US.


    January Start Weight: 207.0
    January Goal Weight: 202.0
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Jan01 : 207.7
    Jan 08: 207.0 Back where I started but I suppose that is good after a gain and a major holiday!
    Jan 16: 207.0 Didn’t have the opportunity to weigh yesterday (15th). This is my weight today (16th).
    Jan 22: 205.2 I have really made some pre-planned food choices this past week, increased my steps and my water. I am tip-toeing to avoid a glucose drop since I am diabetic and my body doesn’t like fast changes. So far, no glucose “episodes” which cause a feeding frenzy. No severe drops. I’m pleased with the progress so close after Christmas!
    Jan 29: 207.0 Back where I started!

    @deepwoodslady Great job. Slowly but surely. Learning how to eat is the key.

    @FitVibration I did real well at the beginning of my journey, losing about 80 pounds in total. This past year, however, has been horrible. I've gained about 30 pounds of it back. Losing my normal exercise routine (walking the school halls) during the covid shut-downs has been horrible. I know I am not watching my macros as closely, not prepping my food as regularly and I am definitely not exercising like I used to.

    I can give you all the excuses including a major move, my recent retirement, the complicated sales of two of my businesses and much more and it would all be true and should be factored in due to time constraints. However, with that being said, I know I still could have done better than I have.

    Thanks for you post and for noticing my efforts. You are right about proper eating. We certainly cannot outrun the fork so it has to start there!

    I look forward to our shared journey of better health and fitness.

    Congrats to everyone out here, you are all doing awesome. Keep pushing into the next month. Your goals are on the horizon.

    Happy New Year everyone. It's time to get to work. My goal for 2021 is to lose wt. every month, 1 pound 5, 6 whatever, as long as the needle continues to drop. I finally stopped yoyoing the last quarter of 2020 and the key was low carb eating. I broke my chip addiction and cheat snacks and finally held myself accountable. Logging everything daily is also very important and I will continue to do so. Have fun and lets drop some pounds.

    Total loss for January: The last ten pounds are slow, even when it's the second or third time around. I had an upward blip this week, but am definitely doing better. Maybe February will be even BETTER! Who knows; I still have tomorrow for a little improvement before the month is in the rear-view mirror.

    Jan 31:137.6 (+0.8lbs)
    Total for January: -2.2lbs

    Very content with that, having just started halfway through the month. I suspected my weigh in on Friday was a bit low for my average over the span of a few days so I wasn't too surprised to see it a bit higher today. I'm happy that I met my goal and am ready for February!
