    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 176.6
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM March 1st): 191.6
    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.

    04/11-192.8-(Trend Weight: 191.8)- Well, clearly the scale will prove that it was a food-filled Holiday. Also, there was some travel involved which is never good for me. But the Holiday is over and my taxes have been picked up from a far-away city and I am home and ready to tackle my weight problem again. No excuses! I hope all of you who celebrate enjoyed a wonderful Easter.


    04/18-187.8-(Trend Weight: 190.9)- Finally able to (kinda) confidently slash the 190’s off my colorful chart above. Feeling victorious for that even though I still have a LONG way to go. Celebrating myself over my accomplishments this past week and feel okay to say “Yay Me! The closer I get to the 170’s, the further the 190’s will be in the dust!

    What a great idea for a challenge. I look forward to getting to know the MFP members in this challenge. I have been a member of MFP since November 17, 2016 but did not start to use it regularly until July 1, 2020. I had to look at my profile to refresh my memory. Wednesday's are my regular weigh-in. So I will start April 5th.

    Well this is disappointing, I was under my caloric intake yesterday but still manage to gain 2 lbs in one day. I had canned soup for dinner so I am thinking it is the salt.

    Yes, I bet you are right about the salt. It is so disappointing to see though. Put it behind you and move on it was just one day.

    I've been slowing a bit down, as I felt really tired. So despite eating at almost maintenance calories, I still lost a little bit, which is really good. I'll be on holiday the coming time, so I won't check in next week. No logging, but extremely active, I don't expect any gains except maybe some water weight from the flights.

    May 1: ON HOLIDAY !!

    Challenge starting weight: 149.7
    I weigh every day & average them on Monday, so my numbers are the weekly average.
    My goal for this cycle will be 144#
    2021
    Oct. average weight= 152.01
    Nov. average weight= 151.28
    Dec. average weight= 150.53
    2022
    Jan. average weight= 150.86
    Feb. average weight= 150.2
    March average weight= 148.84
    April average weight= 148.5
    May average weight= 147.72
    June average weight= 147.47
    July average weight= 146.31
    August average weight= 144.84
    Sept. average weight= 145.56 was doing so well, but have really slipped!
    Oct. average weight= 144.87
    Nov. average weight= 146.1
    Dec. average weight= 147.93
    2023
    Jan. average weight= 149.81

    April 17: 69.85 kg / 153.99 lbs - despite ToM  :|  I know it's too fast, consistently below cal target while hitting macros. I'm eating as much as I can and 0 junk food, I promise! Happy to be below 70 kg though  o:)
    April 24: 68.28 kg / 150.53 lbs - Still eating below cal target, as of next week I will adapt macro-ratios to slightly higher carb/lower protein and see if I can increase the volume/calories a bit. Maybe that will slow the process down a little.

    Well, I didn't lose, but I didn't gain either, so that's something! My clothes are fitting better, so I think I have been body recomping, as I have been weight training for a few months. I have upped my steps and included a morning walk into my routine, but have also been eating more calories, so it's giving me a good idea of what is going to take to stay at maintenance. I really want to lose 10 more pounds, but I'm finding it hard to stay disciplined in the evenings.

    Sometimes it’s not about the number you see on the scale but how you feel.

    Hi, I am in for another cycle. I did these pretty consistently until the fall one and wasn't real consistent then, so starting over. Thanks for starting this again.
    STARTING WEIGHT/DATE WITH MFP: about 175 on 8/19/12 (been here a long time, lol, but kinda off & on)
    Lost about 25 pounds, then pretty much maintaining, up a little, down a little, but would like to lose another 15 or so.

    Challenge starting weight: 149.7
    I weigh every day & average them on Monday, so my numbers are the weekly average.
    My goal for this cycle will be 144#
