My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I am from the Midwest USA. 5’ 5

July 01 : 197.6 Not such a great start. Focusing on a great finish! Good Luck Everyone and Thanks Samantha for continuing this challenge.
July 08 : 198.4 A couple of days of Thai Food. Hopefully it is water retention that I will pee out over the next couple of days.
July 15: 196.8 Progress. The scale is going up and down all week, but it is going lower and trending lower too. Every time I touch a new weight, it becomes attainable, even if it wavers. Next week will be even better, I am still feeling very committed.

My old scale was on the fritz (saying low battery right after I changed it) so I got a new one. May have impacted the slight jump, may not have. But the new scale is bluetooth and syncs to my phone for better data tracking.3 -

The 5 pound loss seems illusive at this time, but I’ll take any progress this week. Every pound lost is such a chore at my age!

I didn't install the app for my scale until the 15th of July but I remember my weight being 267 when I first weighed myself. I can take screenshots of my phone to verify the numbers.
I got injured of Feb 2020 which required 2 surgeries to correct. During that time I put on a substantial amount of weight. I am still going to PT due to complications hindering my recovery. The mental and emotional toll has been extreme to say the least. At the beginning of this month I decided to take matters into my own hands and take back control of my life, weight, health and overall happiness.

July 29: 194.2 A bit of an up & down week but everytime the weight tried to get away, I stretch my proverbial hands out and drag it back toward me and the better place I am working hard to keep myself in. I’m still the driver and I am steering clear of backsliding! Travel today with dinner out may cause some water retention. I am hoping it does not adversely affect my final weigh-in as I will not allow one meal to change my course permanently!
