    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 184.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 199.8
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    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

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.



    01/01-199.2-(Trend Weight: 199.2)-

    01/02-DNW-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)- DNW.


    01/09-200.0-(Trend Weight: 199.4)-

    01/16-198.8-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- Guess what I noticed last night? In the fridge my sweet younger daughter made me a pumpkin cheesecake while I was gone on the overnight trip and left the whole thing in the refrigerator for me. Isn’t she precious? Travel today.

    01/23-198.2-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..

    My name's Kris, and I'm 54, F, and 5'10". My starting weight was around 295 or so, sometime in March of 2019. I'm not sure what my ultimate weight goal will be, but the current plan is to get to 175, and see how I feel.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 195.8
    Challenge Weight Loss Goal: 183.8 (-12 lbs)

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 184.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 199.8
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    01/16-198.8-(Trend Weight: 198.7)-


    01/23-198.2-(Trend Weight: 198.7)- My homemade soup eaten two days in a row really hurt the bottom line. I actually find that quite surprising. Today, the rest goes in the freezer in smaller portions for some other time when I need a quick dinner. Smaller portions are in order perhaps? I travel this week on Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri of this week. That affects my ability to take my water pill so that is not going to help either. It’s going to be a tough week but I got this! Staying positive…..


    01/30-194.8-(Trend Weight: 197.2)- It’s been a long week of working really hard at this. It’s paying off. I think pre-logging my food is helping the most. It really helps me stick to my menu. Good choices also helps me to get in more volumes of food so I’m not super hungry. All my “diets” work UNTIL the moment I get hungry……. Carefully planning is key for me right now. Travel this week is Mon, Tue, Wed. I’ve got to plan for this and not go off the rails. I think I can do it. The weight loss this week has made me feel strong and capable. I hope these feelings stick! I am EXACTLY at my January goal (5 lb loss). My final weigh-in is tomorrow for January. I will try to hang on to this today.
