    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 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 June 30th): 198.2
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


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

    07/10-194.4-(Trend Weight 196.4)-

    07/11-197.8-(Trend Weight 196.5)- Traveled yesterday and actually did pretty good while out of town. I watched my portions. I also found a walking park located at the hospital and walked the path ( 1.5 miles) after lunch. However, when I got home I got into my all-or-nothing mode and my self-sabotage mode all rolled up into one. Is it even POSSIBLE to gain 3 ½ lbs overnight? It can’t be all fat! I’ll drink plenty of water, hope for TMI and watch every bite today. I am worth it, I am worth it, I am worth it.

    07/12-196.4-(Trend Weight 196.5)- Well, that weight just rushes right in but dilly dally’s off, now doesn’t it? Down 1.4 lbs today. Normally that would be good but with an overnight gain {yesterday weigh-in} of 3 ½ pounds, I’m a little pi$$ed. But I guess that’s what happens when you eat pasta for dinner and cereal for a late night snack. I earned it fair-n-square. On my way back down though. Just trying to stay positive here.

    I’m a cruncher by nature, so on the way to work I’ll pick up a veg tray as my chip substitution for the next few days.

    Plus, swimming makes me ravenous! I need these easy healthy snacks to conquer the munchies!

    Hi, Everyone! I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism. I am currently dealing with sciatica and muscle deconditioning, which means I need to focus on calories in and out while I am recovering by building flexibility and strength through physical therapy. I have had a rough couple of months with my current muscle issues, losing my grandmother, losing my job, and my husband trying to recover from cervical fusion surgery, but I am grateful to have a new month to start again and keep the hope alive!

    Goals for July:
    1. Find a great new job and enjoy this extra time with my kids.
    2. Create a meal plan for myself and my family.
    3. Daily PT and walking.
    4. Organize and minimize my house and belongings.

    Weight Tracking for July:
    7/01: 190.7
    7/02: 188.5 - Surprise there.
    7/03: DNW
    7/04: 185.7 - Weight loss due to sickness.
    7/05: 188.1 - Rehydrating and eating solid food again.
    7/06: DNW
    7/07: DNW
    7/08: DNW
    7/09: 189.6
    7/10: DNW - sick last night
    7/11: 187.8 - Dehydration I believe and not weight loss.
    7/12: 186.7 - Still thinking dehydration, but will keep my eyes on this.
    7/13: 186.5

    07/13-195.2-(Trend Weight 196.4)- I’m still chasing my tail trying to get back down to my day 26 weight before the travel and nighttime binge. Making good progress though. Today is my son’s haircut appointment at my salon. I will take him to lunch afterward. This is a custom we have been doing since he was a kid. Be good at the hairdressers and you get to go out to lunch/dinner. With his autism, he is a child at heart and still expects these practices. Eating locally is usually a bit boring as it’s the same old tired menu they’ve had for the 24 years I’ve been here. I’ll either skip it or order what I know works for me. I really want to undo the damage that has already been done. Yesterday I danced for the first time in awhile. The first two songs left me a bit breathless as my heart tried to keep up, but then it stabilized. I also biked and did my strength training. I can still make my goal for July if I stay focused.

    Packing to go up north to a cottage with daughter’s family for a week. Had a bad last few days. Eating too much, even eating sugar. ( I’m diabetic and shouldn’t). Came back from Ireland trip and rushed to catch up with family before I leave again. Cooked several dinners for others. Threw me off my game. Gained a couple of lbs.
    I’m back in my good head space today. Unfortunately, can’t weigh myself up north for the next week. A little concerned about this trip and gaining weight . They’ll be lots of family meals, maybe not as much exercising. I can swim in the lake. Wish I has snorkel gear. I used to love snorkeling along the shoreline looking at fish, etc.
    I was so proud of myself for learning to cut and paste a document here. Well , silly me, I accidentally deleted the document I made.😒. Not as smart as I thought.
    I do best with a routine.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 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 June 30th): 198.2
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx


    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


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

    07/13-195.2-(Trend Weight 196.4)- I’m still chasing my tail trying to get back down to my day 26 weight before the travel and nighttime binge. Making good progress though. Today is my son’s haircut appointment at my salon. I will take him to lunch afterward. This is a custom we have been doing since he was a kid. Be good at the hairdressers and you get to go out to lunch/dinner. With his autism, he is a child at heart and still expects these practices. Eating locally is usually a bit boring as it’s the same old tired menu they’ve had for the 24 years I’ve been here. I’ll either skip it or order what I know works for me. I really want to undo the damage that has already been done. Yesterday I danced for the first time in awhile. The first two songs left me a bit breathless as my heart tried to keep up, but then it stabilized. I also biked and did my strength training. I can still make my goal for July if I stay focused.

    07/14-196.8-(Trend Weight 196.4)- My bulging scale is due to dessert I should not have had. Meals were good but my movement/exercise was non-existent expect for a few minutes of strength training. I literally ran all day on errands. DGS got to my house about 8:30 pm and spent the night for me to watch him today so there will be lots of stairs. On another note: I was reading this morning the autopsy results regarding the death of Lisa Marie Presley. Complications from scar tissue from her bariatric surgery a few years back. When was she overweight enough for weight loss surgery? I know there is some pretty special criteria for those surgeries including BMI and multiple morbidity conditions that are often required. I just don’t recall her being in a state that would qualify her. Thoughts?

    Log all my food daily
    Hit at least 10,000 steps 6 days a week

    @deepwoodslady I saw the info on Lisa Marie today too. I thought the same thing...when was she big? or big enough to warrant bariatric surgery??? I hope she didn't get the surgery because she was afraid of gaining weight. There is a lot I don't know about her so these were just thoughts running in my mind. Sad death, in any case.

    @BittersweetVita It sure does look like real progress. Kudos!

    @AmandaTucker127 You are making steady progress! Good work. 😊

    @Melwillbehealthy Sorry you lost your doc. I just go back to my last post and copy it and then paste that to the new post and add on the new info. I don't know if that helps you but hopefully it does. Have a great time at the cottage with your family!

    @ddainiak Thanks for the encouragement and it ain't no small thing to do 25k so good on you for doing it too! 😊

    Have a great weekend everyone! ❤️

    Hi, Everyone! I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism. I am currently dealing with sciatica and muscle deconditioning, which means I need to focus on calories in and out while I am recovering by building flexibility and strength through physical therapy. I have had a rough couple of months with my current muscle issues, losing my grandmother, losing my job, and my husband trying to recover from cervical fusion surgery, but I am grateful to have a new month to start again and keep the hope alive!

    Goals for July:
    1. Find a great new job and enjoy this extra time with my kids.
    2. Create a meal plan for myself and my family.
    3. Daily PT and walking.
    4. Organize and minimize my house and belongings.

    Weight Tracking for July:
    7/01: 190.7
    7/02: 188.5 - Surprise there.
    7/03: DNW
    7/04: 185.7 - Weight loss due to sickness.
    7/05: 188.1 - Rehydrating and eating solid food again.
    7/06: DNW
    7/07: DNW
    7/08: DNW
    7/09: 189.6
    7/10: DNW - sick last night
    7/11: 187.8 - Dehydration I believe and not weight loss.
    7/12: 186.7 - Still thinking dehydration, but will keep my eyes on this.
    7/13: 186.5
    7/14: 186.5 - Holding steady. Very interesting if this is real progress.
    7/15: 186.3

    Since being sick this month, I have been eaten more probiotics and have cut back on my calories at lunch, which makes me hungrier by the time dinner comes, but I have also been forcing the family to eat dinner way earlier. I don't know if being sick helped to trick my thyroid into letting go of its desire to remain in the 190s or not, but I'm hoping it continues to forget that number! Lol!

    @deepwoodslady - The news about Lisa Marie's cause of death is sad. It sounds like a rare complication. I don't know why or when she had it. Perhaps after she had her twins she was having trouble with the weight coming off? I know that after having my first child is when I had reached 188 pounds postpartum, I always gained from there with each new pregnancy, and was never able to get back under that number for the next twenty years. I had my yearly mammogram yesterday and during the physical exam, my doctor said that she can see that the scar tissue from my left mastectomy has adhered to some muscles and tendons on my chest, which is causing me some of my pain. At least my doctors can see mine - hers were somewhere where she would have needed a scan. And the pain pills she was probably taking for her pain may have been masking the intensity of her pain from the blockage until it was too late.

    @buckeyebabe717 - What a great challenge you have achieved with that step count! Great determination!

    @ddainiak - Woo-Hoo to a quick turn around from your Nashville trip!
