    My name is Donna. I am 60. I am about 5’5” tall. I live in the Midwest USA.
    Highest Weight: 253



    January 1st 2020 - 189.2
    February 1st 2020 - 191.6
    March 1st 2020 - 199.8
    April 1st 2020 - 203.2

    August 1st 2020 - 209.4
    September 1st 2020 - 211.6
    October 1st 2020 - 211.1
    November 1st 2020 - 207.4
    December 1st 2020 - 207.6


    January 1st 2021 - 207.8
    February 1st 2021 – 207.6 Does a 0.2 loss count LOL? Okay so January was a rollercoaster ride. I weight exactly what I did on December first so I am grateful that I did not balloon up any further due to all the Christmas holidays.
    March 1st 2021 – 206.6 Yay. A full pound down. This inspires me to do even better.
    April 1st 2021 – 207.6 Back up a pound. Gotta rein this in!
    May 1st 2021 - 206.6 Better but still a bit disappointed. One pound in a month is just not good enough for me. I know I can do better.

    Maintaining! My Average monthly weights have been no higher than 160 since 9/1/18 or 2-2/3 years.

    That is exactly the time it took for me to change my habits & lose my weight. 🐢

    @deepwoodslady
    YOU are doing GREAT!

    The say 5% loss results in health benefits.
    10 % yields significant health benefits!

    You’ve lost 18.8+ %. Go YOU 💪🏻🏅😁

    202.4 lbs will be 20 PERCENT!!

    3lbs x 3,500 calories/pound 10,500
    Divided by 7 months is 1,500 cals/month
    Or a decrease of 50 calories per day or an increase of 50 calories of exercise burn or a combo.

    AND you will hit January 1, 2022 at 20% down!!! WhooHoo!

    You’ve got this!!!

    Thanks for the compliment and support. I am working so hard at this right now. Last summer I gained over 4 pounds during the summer. (Covid 19 shut-in?) So I am trying hard not to let that happen again in 2021.

    Of course @DeepWoodslady!
    We are here for each other.

    I ALSO gain over the hot months. I think I’ve figured it out:
    1. I retain more water.
    2. I love less because I need to stay out of high UV sun & that occurs over a much larger part of the day.
    3. Exercising in heat is much less enjoyable to me - in part because I have to be all covered up (on meds that create higher risk of skin cancer.) I recently got some SPF 50+ Long sleeved shirts. I might look for some pants...

    But here’s the key thing I realized: my weight dropped off when the colder weather arrives end of September.

    So maybe we both just work to maintain until
    The cold weather?! ❄️⛷⛄️

    My best time to lose weight, curiously, is October to April

    My Best

    Putting in a concerted effort in July to bring weight down into my Goal Zone of under 157.3! I am definitely working to make sure I am there solidly by my 3-year maintenance anniversary Sept 1!!

    Never Give Up. It takes effort, but the benefits are SO worth it!
