    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 12 pounds to land at 186.2
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM June 30th): 198.2
    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.


    07/01-197.8-(Trend Weight: 197.4)-

    07/03-196.6-(Trend Weight: 197.4)-

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

    07/17-198.4-(Trend Weight: 197.2)-

    07/24-193.8-(Trend Weight: 196.5)-

    07/31-193.8-(Trend Weight: 195.4)-

    July Start: 198.2
    July Goal: (4 pound loss): 194.2
    July Actual: 193.8

    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 4.4 lbs Lost (for the challenge total)


    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


    08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)-

    08/07-195.8-(Trend Weight: 195.6)-

    08/14-194.2-(Trend Weight: 195.1)- Prep cooking and pre-logging helped. But I know I could have done even better. I saw a lower drop than an increase back up to this. I must not give into temptations and I need to remember that all those foods will still be available when I’ve reached my goal. Hopefully then, better habits will be in place, less cravings, more control, better working body in regards to diabetes fat storage etc. etc. Yes, it will all still be available later, I don’t need to eat it right now. I don’t expect a worldwide famine anytime soon.


    08/21-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Yesterday was a huge birthday party for my DGD age 3. Pizza, chips, cake, ice cream was the menu. Soda too, but I stuck to water. Everything feels tight around the waist and I know that it’s more than just water retention, even if that is a part of it. I think I’ll hold off from weighing until all my flurry of back-to-back-to-back events are over. Too depressing. And I don’t need the scale numbers to tell me to watch my choices and portions! Today is a day at home with the handymen but tomorrow I travel 4 hours each way for my mammogram and oncology appointment at the University Hospital. Lunch and dinner will be at restaurants. So I go on the 22nd, am home but will skip the following morning weigh-in on the 23rd, give myself a buffer day on the 24th (have an appointment but it’s semi-local so no restaurant necessary). I’ll weigh in on the 25th after one buffer day and see what all the travel, birthday celebrations, festivals and County Fair has yielded. In the meantime, I am going to tweak my MFP goals (again). It really is necessary. What I am doing is not sustainable even if it sounds good on paper.

    Had a birthday weekend with birthday cake, and cookies, and bread. I’m a little surprised my weight was up as much as it is. Maybe I have to poop.
