    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from Oct 31st): 188.2
    Goal: 183.2 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Loss for November: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    11/13.…..189.2…..(Trend Weight 189.0)

    11/14.…..191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.2)….. Traveled yesterday. Weight showed up from dinner out and lots of car driving (inactivity). I’ll work it off today as much as possible. Obviously I am disappointed that one meal would make such a negative difference.
    11/15……191.0…..(Trend Weight 189.3)….. I ate leftover Chinese food from my travel day. Other meals were good too. Snacks were definitely better. I honestly thought I would see a zero-point-something drop but not today. Something I have to look forward to, I guess.

    11/16……189.6…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Meals were perfectly on point yesterday although exercise level was low. So happy for this drop. I snuck into DGS Halloween basket last night. That needs to no become a habit.

    11/1-.…..189.8…..(Trend Weight 189.4)….. Epic Fail. I made a big dinner for the entire crew last night that is doing my home renovations. It was healthy but a little too hardy since I ate too much! Back at it today.

    11/18.…..190.6…..(Trend Weight 189.7)….. Very bad news from Primary Doctor yesterday in regards to my blood work. A1C 11.8 so she will be adding more medication for Type 2 diabetes in conjunction with what I am already taking. Thyroid has gotten worse and my medication will be increased. My sodium is super low and so a medication for that is being added. My LDL cholesterol is bad so she is adding Atorvastatin for help that. What a hot mess! These medications will help but I know in my heart of hearts that diet and exercise is the healthiest answer to all of this. I’ve got to do better! With all these holidays coming up, it just couldn’t be more challenging!
    11/19.…..190.8…..(Trend Weight 189.8)….. Travel yesterday was unexpected and I didn’t get home until 8:30 PM. Only slightly over 5000 steps, not enough water, lots of sitting in car and restaurant for late lunch/dinner. I’m surprised scale isn’t up more so I’m nervous that a bigger number will pop up in the coming days (right before Thanksgiving ugh!). Pushing water today.

    November 3 184.5 lbs ⬇️
    Wednesday is my normal weigh-in. Glad to see some change going down. So far 1.5lbs

    November 10 185lb
    I have been having problems logging into Community with the app. I have to go through the internet. Wednesday is my normal weigh-in and I lost.

    November 17 184.5 lbs ⬇️ My regular Wednesday weigh-in. This month has been more consistent in the weight fluctuations. I am down 1.5 lbs mid month. A couple things I have noticed for myself is not drinking enough water does make a difference in the peaks of my weight gain. Always been a big water drinker but I have to be more diligent. Also reduces the carbs in the morning have been helping. Carbs are my weakness.

    Highest Weight: 293 (01/28/2021)

    November 1 - 197.4
    November 2 - 198.4 (It was a special occasion yesterday so I ate around maintenance calories! Had a great day.)
    November 3 - 198.6 (Another birthday dinner last night but calories were where I planned them.)
    November 4 - 197.2 (Food was really on point yesterday. Feeling good working my way further from the 200's.)
    November 5 - 196.6 (Chinese food birthday supper for a friend last night but I got good exercise in and planned around it.)
    November 6 - 197.2 (Burger and chips dinner with Mom last night that I planned for. Today is the last day of birthday celebration events.)
    November 7 - 196.4 (Last birthday celebration last night - my friend is an amazing cook but it's always healthy too. There was homemade amaretto cheesecake for dessert so I planned ahead to have the room.)
    November 8 - 198.8 (Food was good yesterday and my exercise was the most it's been all month. Time of the month started.)
    November 9 - 198.6 (Donated blood yesterday and had a great food day. Lots of exercise already today so hoping to see the scale down even more tomorrow.)
    November 10 - 199.2 (Odd week on the scale this week. I did eat a big salty snack before bed even though it was within my calorie range. Trend weight is still down for the week and no days spiked back into the 200s so still feeling great.)
    November 11 - 197.4 (There we go, body finally released that! Things have been busy but my husband and I continue to stay on track. Looking forward to making some progress for the rest of the month.)
    November 12 - 196.6 (I got lots of exercise yesterday and had a good day of eating. My husband and I got a massage as well.)
    November 13 - 195 (Got my steps and exercised too, ate well. Happy the weekend is here!)
    November 14 - 192.2 (And with that I have officially surpassed the 100 pounds lost mark! Huge flushing of weight that I was holding onto last week.)
    November 15 - 192.8 (Our hiking plans didn't go ahead yesterday but we found other ways to be active. Busy day today so I'm posting late, sometimes the days just get away from me!)
    November 16 - 193.6 (Holy wind Batman! It's hard to get out for steps today with how windy it is, but I'm about half way to goal already. Yesterday we had our volunteer commitment at night and tonight I am sewing with a friend so I'm fitting my exercise in around those other things.)
    November 17 - 193.4 (Had a fun night sewing after work, rode the Peloton before bed.)
    November 18 - 192.4 (Finished my Christmas placemat sewing project last night - two very late nights. Back to regularly scheduled evening programming here although my husband is coming home from a business trip so he may be late and that may keep me up again.)
    November 19 - 192.4 (Found I did a lot of exercise yesterday and enjoyed it. It's just natural now. My husband did bring bakery treats home to try so I made the extra effort to move in order to partake.)

    I am really at a loss with how to copy my last entry and add to it. Can someone tell me how to do it? I typed this all out today. I would like all my past comments together.

    11/5/21-180.4 lbs
    11/6/21-181.6 lbs- 190 minutes on the Elliptical. stayed on track, just the uptick fluctuations I do, before a drop.
    11/7/21-180 lbs- 200 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles, Finally hit my 4th October weight goal. Had met 3 end of month
    weight goals in October early but not the 4th one I made to be 180 or below till now.
    11/8/21-180 lbs
    11/9/21-179.2 lbs- 210 minutes on the Elliptical-15 miles
    11/10/21-179.2 lbs
    11/11/21-179.2 lbs-210 minutes on the Elliptical-16 miles
    11/12/21-178.2 lbs-76.8 lbs lost of goal of 133 lbs
    FINALLY THE QUOTE WORKED LIKE BEFORE THEY CHANGED STUFF!!!!
    11/13/21-178.2 lbs
    11/14/21-176.6 lbs Down 5.2 lbs. My November goal was 5 lbs because I figured it would slow down soon. I've been
    averaging 10 lbs/month. 78.4 lbs lost so far!
    Did 223 minutes today on my Elliptical. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the last movie and
    wanted to hit the 16 miles!

    11/15/21-178.8 :-( Doesn't make sense. Did that elliptical work out yesterday and only 1,266 calories and stayed totally on track
    but I usually do have a uptick before a drop. So hopefully will drop back off and its must be water being held on
    to.
    11/16/21-178.8 lbs
    11/17/21-178.8 lbs
    11/18/21-178.8 lbs
    11/19/21-178.6 lbs Had to add these all today. Been busy at work and late nights. Still waiting for the drop of the water weight from the rotisserie seasoning salt to happen!
    Also had some NSV's today. Our desk at work is high and we have high chairs. Today I had the chair set higher than before because I couldn't get into it up high. Today I could because my butt is smaller. Also my L leg that had the Tibial Plateau Fracture could actually now bend enough to put it on the leg rest under the seat!

    November 19: 200 don't know how to make it through this day

    November 20: 201 how I made it through yesterday, eating. I would like to call it an unplanned cheat day but by definition cheat days are planned. This was eating to get me through an up at 4am emotional, physical, raw day preceeded by a hard week. My husband & I own a small business. We are in our busy season. There use to be 6 of us in the business. Now it is just the two of us. Customers want things that are not available. We are not delivering when clients want because let's face it if you keep calling asking about your order I cannot do the work. Some jobs can be done while on the phone these cannot. The machinery is too loud there is too much to pay attention to. Unavailable inventory makes it 4X longer to try to source items for orders that come from all over the country now. All the businesses we work with have labor shortage so if stock runs out we don't get a heads up, we find out when we are going to production. We are going through a sales tax audit and the property assessor came out and informed us that they are moving our accessible rate from 25% to 40% on the building. #meltdown


    @mhoward685 Prayers to you & your husband for your business needs and aspirations. Putting out the positive vibes for you!
