My name is Donna and I am 61 in May. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.
My goal in this challenge is to lose pounds and land firmly in Onederland.
I would love to join! Here are my weights so far:
Start Weight: 207.6
Goal Weight: 187.6
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

May 03: 207.4
May 10: My Birthday! 208.8 I am celebrating this upcoming Sunday with family. This new higher weight is from travel and bad choices. The buck stops here!
May 17: 206.8 I’m happy with this after multiple day celebrations. I chose better than I thought or it is going to catch up with me. We shall see which.
May 24: 210.8 Wow. 4 pounds in one week! Can you tell that my daughter and DGS moved back in? This is going to be difficult!
May 31: 206.4 Better than last week. I worked hard for it. Praying for continued success.
Jun 01: 205.6 A nice way to start the month.
Jun 07: 204.2 Clearly I’ll never make the 20 pound loss but a girl can dream, right?.....Onward for any progress this old girl can get. Good health is the overall goal and continued weight loss is a huge part of that plan.
Jun 15: 201.8 This has been a good week for me. I am down quite a bit overnight due to a very low calorie day yesterday. Today I will increase them but with all thoughtfulness to my plan.
Jun 21: 199.0 Onderland by a thread. I don’t want to drop this ball. I will focus in the short-term on getting it a little further away from the 200 mark.
Jun 28: 197.6 I had to cancel trip today. I was so sick yesterday evening and all night. A little better today but not 100% Possible gall bladder or diverticulitis attack, probably from too many almonds day before yesterday. Horrid pain. This is a big overnight drop on the scale. Probably from such little eating yesterday (it hurt too bad) and from dehydration. We’ll see what the next few days bring as this is probably a little lower than my weight realistically is.
Jun 30: 196.4 Back in the saddle and doing good. Feeling much better. Wow, the tummy pain was horrendous! I have no idea what was wrong, but I won’t be eating handfuls of nuts again as a snack! Weight has been going great. I probably lost the extra pound due to the 24 hour illness I had so we’ll see how it keeps panning out. In the meantime, I continue with good clean eating habits and try to stay away from sugery snacks! I am down 11.2 pounds since the start of this challenge. Pleased as punch!
Jul 01: 197.6 Scale shows an uptick after the low recorded weight following the tummy illness. I suspected that would happen. This weight is likely where I am really at. Now, time to get moving! I don’t envision myself making original goal but I can see myself making more progress. Time to make my vision a reality!

No way I'm going to make my goal. I am in need of a medical procedure to repair a hiatal hernia that is recently having serious repercussions that can't be ignored. I should have taken care of this back in April when the issue first occurred, but I naively thought I could reach my goal first then deal with it. So, until that is done, I will be trying to just maintain my weight. I hope I'm not out of the game but just temporarily sidelined.10 -

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July! I have lost no more weight and I guess I am in maintenance for a while. I've kept off about 8 lbs and will just have to be happy with that for now. There are a few stressful things going on for me personally and I am finding it hard to care about my weight or looks. I need to focus on eating healthy, yes, but as that applies to self care in general. We are going to a nice hotel with a pool today and I am just going to bring my book and chill out and drink some mock pina coladas. How can this not help?
Have a good day, Friends! 10 -

Jul 05: 198.0 Up a little bit after some travel. To make up for that, I didn’t let the holiday steer me off course. Working it back down and doing well with that. Today I will make another day count. Many very severe stresses this week. I can’t let that pull me down or swallow up my progress. Staying the course!

Thank you @deepwoodslady .... Last year it was my beloved black Lab. A year today actually😟I have a new kitten who is almost 5 months now and he has helped, though it broke my heart to see him looking for his 'big sister' kitty after.
Anyway many thanks8 -

Didn't meet my goal this month but was only .8 away so I'll still take that as a win! Seemed to plateau for awhile mid month. Total loss of 4.4lbs this month and just shy of a 25lbs loss since I started in March. No complaints! On to our final challenge month!

I seem to be at a holding pattern, due to not really adhering to MFP at least a couple days a week🙄
But I'm ok with the number on the scale for now as they are not too bad all things considered!!
Still shooting for 150 at the very least for end of this month.
Have a great week All🙂

After being at our cabin away from internet, MFP and my scale for a week, I’m happy to see just a small gain. I’ll be away on vacation for another week. With a long drive, visiting with family, eating and drinking without tracking on MFP and likely not regular exercise, I’ll be aiming for maintenance. My plan is to not snack between meals, not eat/drink anything excessively, and to choose veggies and fruit whenever I can.

Nothing at all wrong with a maintenance break! It’s a perfectly healthy part of a weight loss journey. Take care of yourself and hope your procedure goes smoothly.6 -

Thank you.3 -
Went to the doctor today; the nurse said she'd take 3 pounds off the weight to account for clothes... I said How about 10 pounds off?
Anyway, My body is a bit screwed up at this moment with a physical problem; nothing too bad, but definitely going to give myself some slack. I've maintained the same weight for two months. Good enough for me.
I talked to a lady who was part of OA. (overeaters anonymous) Anyway, she's been active with that for years. She is thin and healthy. She said to think of only three food items you want to give up and then work on that. (instead of a category). Interesting idea.11
