    My name is Donna and I am 62 years old. 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.
    .

    Start Weight: 203.2 (Weight on April 30, 2022)
    Goal Weight: 188.2
    End Weight: xxxxx

    Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Jun 20…..204.0…..(Trend Weight: 204.6)…..

    Jun 27…..198.2…. (Trend Weight: 203.5)….. I’ve been very careful all week. Onederland, Onederland!!!! But a 4 ½ lb loss overnight? Hard to believe. I took batteries in and out several times. Then tried new ones. Even moved the scale to my non-typical spot. Yep, 198.2. The only explanation is that I did take my waterpill yesterday since I was home. (I won’t be able to take it the next 3 days as I’ll be away from home). But THAT much water retention due to heart not pumping properly? Wow! So today is the ultrasound on the heart and I get hooked up to a heart monitor I will wear home for a couple of days. Then traveling even further south for some building supplies at a special store. Going with my son. When we hit the big city I promised him golden corral and we may try to fit in the Elvis movie. Scale will be up tomorrow from GC and lots of sitting but I plan on making it a nice day for the two of us. Watch what you put on the plate Donna!

    Jun 30…..202.8…..(Trend Weight: 203.0)….. All the medical travel catching up to me.

    Weigh in Update!

    Main Stats
    Highest Weight: 320 lbs
    Current Weight: 290.2 lbs
    Goal by August 1st: 280 lbs
    Main Goal Weight: 220 lbs

    Challenge Stats:
    Start Weight: 290.2
    June 24th: 288.4- loss of 1.8lbs!
    July 1st: 290 lbs - gain 1.6 lbs :disappointed:
    Total challenge weight loss to date: 0.2 lbs!

    I think the gain is purely water retention from all of the heavy lifting this week from moving since I stayed under my calorie goal. However this week I am going to focus on creating a larger deficit.
