I am happy with my progress this month. The one area I need to improve on is to stop eating my kids leftovers.

Hello all, I’m Amanda from Michigan. I belong to 2 other challenges on here but thought I would give this one a try! I will post my weight on Mondays.
I lost 45 pounds in 2022 and would like to lose at the very least 45 more in 2023. I have some scary medical procedures coming up in January and have no idea how they will affect my weight!
Good luck to everyone!

Cumulative Weight Loss So Far:

I have been losing motivation and have seen significant decline in health. Gained weight, Cholesterol and Blood pressure, lethargy creeping up. Hoping to keep my goals simple and achieve the goal with slow and steady progress.

Goals - Move 10K+ steps everyday, IF 16:8, planned eating - all meals should be planned atleast one day ahead of day and eat planned meals only.
At end of March, I expect to see better number for Blood pressure.

Reflections -
Jan - Ate home cooked meals, portion controlled, IF and 15K+ steps almost all days except one worked well. Pre-planned meals allowed to eat out and still control daily calorie consumption. Stamina has increased, felt tired first 1.5 week but this activity is easily manageable now. Introduce Zumba/strength training atleast 2 days a week in Feb & decrease steps in those days.

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old, 5' 5" tall. I live in the Midwest of USA. I am in remission for breast cancer, have Type 2 Diabetes, an under active thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol, some osteoporosis and coronary heart disease with a stent in my heart. I am working to get healthier. I know losing weight and exercising more will help all of these issues.

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.

01/22-197.4-(Trend Weight: 197.8)-

01/29-195.6-(Trend Weight: 197.5)- I was a little back and forth all week but finally had a whoosh this morning more reflective of all my efforts. No, I haven’t been picture perfect, but overall, I’ve been kicking some *kitten*! I’m really working on pre-planning my food, making better choices during my many travels and getting in 30 minutes or more of exercise daily NO MATTER WHAT, NO EXCUSES!!!! It’s paying off.

01/31-194.8-(Trend Weight: 197.0)- I made my 5 pound goal this month. That was the first time in a very very long time. I am proud of my progress and my resolve at this time. I hope the momentum keeps up. We all know how easy it is to start sliding backwards on this slippery slope! Good job to everyone who showed up this month. Onward to the next part of the challenge, February, the shortest month and amount of time to get things done. Let’s do this!



Jan Start: 199.8

Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 5.0 lbs Lost




02/01-194.6-(Trend Weight: 196.7)- It’s a short month but I will not lower my expectations for myself. I want the next five pounds gone! That would literally be finding me dipping my smallest pinkie toe into the warm welcoming waters of the 180’s (189.8). What a dream! It’s sink or swim!
