    Hi, everyone! I am a 45 year-old female. I am 5'4" married with four kids and a new full-time job since January. Physically, I am a two-time cancer survivor, I have Hypothyroidism, and Plantar Fasciitis. I struggle with planning meals, overindulging in carbs, not finding time to exercise, and being consistent, but I have a good heart and am always grateful for every moment I have, even the frustrated ones. Lol!

    My goals for March:
    ☘️C25K program 3x week - Walk 3xweek
    ☘️Strength Training 3x week
    ☘️ZUMBA Saturdays
    ☘️Pre-plan meals and log food everyday
    ☘️Take thyroid med everyday
    ☘️Increase Water Intake

    Thank you all for the well wishes for my mom - she is doing well and her heart seems to be back to a regular rhythm.

    @shannbug216 - I so understand that feeling. I have it all the time. I do not have an answer per say, but I keep coming here and checking in even though I am not seeing results and have not figured out how to make all of this work yet. The balance and imbalance of life is sometimes too much for me to handle. Seeing how frail my mom looked in the hospital, and after being in the hospital many times myself, it reaffirmed that I want to feel healthy and strong. I will keep tweaking things here and there and it will come. It will come again for you too!

    Hey all! Quick check in. I really wanted to show off my fabulous 80s attire. I'm going to an 80s themed trivia tonight I'm always up to dress the part. 🤣

    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: 186.6 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight:

    **************************************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.

    03/18-189.0-(Trend Weight 190.7)-


    03/19-188.2-(Trend Weight 190.4)- Nice to see some positive movement on the scale. Of course, I would like to see a pound come off every day but that is not realistic. I’m also very pleased with my progress on my trend weight. I travel tomorrow to the land of restaurants and donut shops again for my rehab, Dear Lord, keep me strong! Next Saturday is a big birthday Bash for my DGS. There will be enough temptation there! A couple of days ago I lowered my carbs by 10 more. It has been a bit gradual. It’s starting to pinch a little!


    03/20-188.6-(Trend Weight 190.4)- I had to cancel the appointments today out-of-town for cardiac rehab and the weird dietician. My blood pressure was running too low all day and night yesterday and the readings were continually abnormal. There was no way I could go to rehab and push myself. The average reading was 81/41 all day. I licked salt off my hand all day and pushed the water. Most of my day was on the couch with my feet elevated over my heart. I took it easy in a pajama day and had no exercise and very little movement, thus the uptick. Today will be another “take it easy day” as the lack of blood pressure can starve my organs of blood and oxygen. I don’t want anything to shut down or be taxed in any way. Hopefully it will improve today so I don’t have to make that trip to the hospital. We don’t have a hospital in my area or county.

    Oh my! Do you have any idea why your bp is so low? Has this happened before? Praying you raise your bp back to normal. Please take it easy and don't hesitate to go in if you need. Be safe. <3

    **weight updated whenever I lose.

    @deepwoodslady That sounds scary. Is you blood pressure often that low?

    I have my bi-weekly Ladies Bible Study tonight at church. Often I either don’t know what the dinner is in advance or the dinner is something really high calorie or rich. This time we’re having a homemade salad bar, grilled chicken, and homemade dressings. The salad dressing is going to be the only real problem this time so I’m just taking some from home. I’m so happy that the plan is for a lighter meal option for once. Those ladies running it can cook so well and it makes keeping to tiny portions and calorie counting so hard.

    @deepwoodslady - I am sorry to hear about your BP and am sending concern for you.

    @nannerkay - I understand that battle also. Hang in there!
