    Hiya all, I'm Rowan. My weight has been up, down, and all over the place over the last 10 years. I gained loads during the pandemic then managed to lose over 40lbs in 2021. I regained 26lbs in 2022 by taking my eye off the ball, it really doesn't take much for me to gain weight! So back again, working on getting back to a healthy weight and building my strength and fitness.
    Ideally I'd like to be below 130lbs as that was my weight in 2015 and I felt good, but I'm a lot older now and it's hard!

    January End Weight: 157.6

    I haven't had the will to weigh for the last two weeks ... but have promised myself that I will weigh tomorrow morning and face whatever the reality is. I am probably about the same weight at which I began the month. I'm just posting this to make it a public promise.

    I weighed in this morning per my posted promise yesterday. I'll post my May results at the end of the month... and I plan to join in the Challenge again next month. It's just enough accountability to keep me a bit more honest!!

    Thanks, everyone -

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Start Weight (from April 30th, 2023 ): 192.6
    Goal Weight: 187.6 (5 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    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.


    05/01-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)-


    05/07-194.0-(Trend Weight: 193.0)-

    05/15-193.8-(Trend Weight: 194.1)-

    05/22-196.4-(Trend Weight: 195.0)- Ugh. I’ve had many challenges lately including an emergency room visit and illness, my birthday week and Mother’s Day celebrations. But my main problem has been depression and just simply not putting the work in. It doesn’t happen all by itself. I’ve got to pull myself together.

    05/29-194.8-(Trend Weight: 194.9)- Travel yesterday. A big family BBQ today for the U.S. holiday. Do the reasons to eat off plan ever end? This is supposed to be a day of honoring our fallen heroes. Not a day of stuffing my face with food! Thank you to our Veteran's who never made it home and to all who have served.

    05/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
