    59y/o 5'5"
    Highest weight: 131.6 (Feb 2022)
    Goal weight: 120

    5/3 128.9
    5/8 128.4 (-0.5 lbs)
    5/16 128.3 (-0.1 lbs)
    5/24 128 (-0.3 lbs)
    5/31 127.2 (-0.8 lbs)
    6/6 126.2 (-1.0 lbs)
    6/14 124.9 (-1.3 lbs)

    Pleasantly surprised at this weeks loss. I think the HIIT and the increase in protein may be doing the trick. Leaving tomorrow for vacation, hopefully I won't do too much damage.

    HW 170

    05/01 158.6
    05/08 158.6
    05/17 157.6
    06/01 155.6
    06/08 153.2
    06/16 153.6

    It seems I am stuck. I may have to adjust my expectations. Perhaps 150 will be a more realistic end goal for me.

    150 sounds perfect to me!! I think your body has adjusted and that's it's set point.
    Bravo!

    My name is Donna. I am 63 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 177.6
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM April 30th): 192.6

    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.

    06/13-195.4-(Trend Weight: 196.0)- Up from my last weigh-in but down from some weigh-in’s this week. That’s the definition of truly up & down. I know I need to refocus. I’ve all but given up on exercise this past month. Laziness. In a funk. Tired and Weary. All of the above!

    06/20-196.8-(Trend Weight: 196.0)- I feel like I’ve just been wasting June. I really need to give it my all! The good news is that my trend weight (while moving a little throughout the week here & there) is still the same as last week even though my weight has went up. It is having faith in me that I haven’t had in myself. Time to show it that it was right!

    @Sistersue3285 Great work- looks like you found some strategies that work for you!
    @deepwoodslady and @ginlee61 Thanks for your well wishes. Today, I had the most beautiful bowl of fruit- papaya, pineapple, watermelon, and chia seeds. I also swam laps in a pool.
    @frankwbrown You are hovering in the 230s and that is awesome!
    @deepwoodslady Love how you see the positive- trend weight is good. Let's see some fuchsia pink fonts soon! I know it can happen <3

    @cpanus Compared to your high weight, your current weight is really amazing! It takes so much effort and concentration to lose even a few pounds and you're down more than 30 pounds!

    Not much progress losing anything but I'm maintaining pretty well. I have been sick for the past 5 days so workouts were spotty but fever is gone now so hoping to get back to my normal exercise routine.

    Have a great week!
