    Good morning all,

    I am clearly a couple days early but I wanted to find a challenge and this one seems perfect! My current weight is 170 pounds, 5’ 2’’, 41 y/o female. I have been a RN for 18 years and recently completed grad school to be an APRN focusing on primary care. I am baseline fairly active however my diet can range from amazing to what did I just eat. I am here to lose weight and improve my overall fitness. I am looking for accountability and to gain a better understanding of why I eat what I eat and when. My weight loss goal in 20-30 pounds by July 4th. I know that seems like a long period of time but I am looking for a long term commitment from myself and worry if I pick fast and quick won’t stay committed.
    I look forward to meeting everyone. 🍀

    Welcome! We’re so glad to have you here!
    You’ve found your new home. 🥰

    145320379.png

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan 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 Feb 28th): 191.6
    Goal: xxxxx (Five lb Loss) 186.6
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

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


    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.


    03/01-191.6-(Trend Weight 192.8)- Just as I feared. Up a full pound. It was nice touching 189.8 the other day but this is EXACTLY why I don’t claim and embrace a new decade until I reach the 7 (as in 187). The ups and downs and all arounds are enough to drive you crazy. Round and round and round we go, where we’ll stop, nobody knows. Have a nice hump day everyone!

    03/02-193.2-(Trend Weight 192.8)- WTH? I had a GREAT day yesterday! My carbs were good but my calories were a little low 2 days in a row. Either the other day caught up with the scale, or I will have to make sure I reach my calorie goal. I can’t blame bloat. I took my water pill yesterday. My new scale put me exactly the same as yesterday (though it runs heavier than my old one, which isn’t really old.) My “old” scale has me up to this weight. Wow! I know I did not have the greatest calorie burn yesterday as I had a lot of sit down work, but I did get in one 30 minute dance session. Disheartening. Travel today to rehab. Cold & Snowy.

    Hi Jill! Hi Team! <3

    Thanks so much for starting this challenge! I'd love to get into the habit of weighing in daily and consistent logging of my food diary and activities. I love your template; so I will copy/paste on a daily basis, as you show above.

    I live in the Boston area and work in Cambridge (Massachusetts). My 65th birthday will be August 18th and I hope to be within "normal" BMI range by Summer. I live alone with a cat (The "Mimichou"!) who's almost 18 years old. I have one married son (age 39). No grandbabies yet. I work for Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine as an administrative assistant (Genetic Research). I walk to and from work most weekdays and it's more than 2 miles each way. I now average a walking speed of over 4.0 miles per hour! I am only 5'3"; so that's FAST, LOL!) I'm pretty healthy but I still need to lose some weight and especially fat around my middle and potbelly. (My "booty" has pretty much been walked off, ha-ha! Hips 38", belly 42"!) My waist currently measures 36" but I would like it to get down to 32" or less by my birthday.

    My goals for March:
    1) Lose at least 8 lbs. by April 6th (next meeting for my "Path to Lifestyle Change" program, 5 weeks ahead)
    2) Continue to log food and activity daily and stick to it!
    3) Participate in "Zumba 6-Week Transformation Program" more consistently https://zumba6week.com/
    4) NO alcoholic beverages whatsoever!

    Starting fresh for March (Total weight loss from all-time high of 217: 68.6) I will post pics again 3/31.
