    It’s actually been a little tough maintaining my current weight with the holidays and all of the travel over the last two months. After this weekend, I won’t have any travel plans until the new year. I’m excited about that. I’m looking forward to getting closer to my goal.

    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 176.2
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Sept 30th): 188.2
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: 181.4


    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


    10/01-187.2-(Trend Weight: 189.2)-

    10/02-187.0-(Trend Weight: 189.0)-

    10/09-184.8-(Trend Weight: 187.6)-

    10/16-184.6-(Trend Weight: 186.4)-

    10/23-184.4-(Trend Weight: 186.1)-

    10/30-183.0-(Trend Weight: 185.2)-

    10/31-181.4-(Trend Weight: 184.9)- I’ve exceeded my goal for October and for that I am very grateful.



    Oct Start: 188.2
    Oct Goal: 184.2 (4 pound loss):
    Oct Actual: 181.4
    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 6.8 lbs Lost



    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


    11/01-181.2-(Trend Weight: 184.5)-

    11/06-185.4-(Trend Weight: 184.3)-

    11/13-183.8-(Trend Weight: 184.3)-

    11/20-180.8-(Trend Weight: 182.5)-
    11/27-180.4-(Trend Weight: 182.4)- I puffed up for Thanksgiving but I did very well at the travel and movies yesterday with DGSs. No popcorn or soda. And no dinner out afterwards. I am thankful the weight is not up too high from our Thanksgiving feast. Now, to get back into the business of the 170’s. It will be difficult considering all the desserts that are still left in the downstairs fridge. I did good yesterday and ate none. But then again, I was gone most of the day. Let’s hope today is a good day. Clearly I won’t meet my goal this month, but I am still on track for the overall challenge goal of 12 pounds. But there is that basement fridge full of all things sugar and flour. And there’s the month of December with all it’s baking and festivities. This is not going to be easy……

    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


    12/01-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)- Good luck everyone in December. If you need me, I’ll be out back trying to dip my toes back down into the 170’s pool. I’ll be the one with the tacky bathing suit on. Hope I made you smile! Let’s get happy and stay happy while we get healthier and healthier, shall we?

    I'm challenging myself to eat at home, no restaurant food unless it's a social thing and then I'm allowed a drink/small appetizer. 😋

    October 2: 153
    October 9:152 It's progress! 😁
    October 16:152 Went off track while on mini vacation this week and ate at a lot of restaurants! Back to it today...
    October 23:152
    October 30:155 Had a fun weekend! Hope this is just a temporary weight gain. Maybe it will even out by next week!
    November 4:153 😵‍💫
    November 13: Back to 152!
    November 20: 151 I walked just about all day on Saturday. We can finally go hiking here in the Southern US without worrying about ticks/bugs! 💕
    November 27: 151 🌽🦃

    *I did stick to my goal, in November, of not eating at a restaurant unless it was social and then just getting an appetizer and drink! I'm going to try this in 2024, too..plus add a few changes at home.*

    12/04-181.0-(Trend Weight: 181.8)- I am so incredibly sick right now. But it’s not affecting my stomach so I am still having to be very careful of what I eat. I’m trying hard not to eat comfort foods (which are all primarily bad carbs) because I feel sorry for myself. My chest is so full of phlegm. I can barely get off the couch. Yesterday I got a total of 911 steps and did not hit my 250 steps in any hour of the 13 rings. If December catches me, it’s going to swallow me whole. Trying to stay ahead of it but it’s so hard when I’m feeling this weak. It’s the Last Thing I Needed In The Month Of December. I can watch what I eat but I can’t burn anything off so it’s all in but nothing out in the form of expenditure.

    @deepwoodslady I'm sorry you're feeling miserable. Don't worry about weight loss for a few days, this is the time to nourish your body and take it easy so that you can heal. Drink lots of hot liquids (water, broth, soups, herbal teas) to help with the congestion. I hope you feel better soon.

    No exceptions. No excuses. 🥑

    I have made 5 different julekaker (Christmas cookies) at work. Not started at home yet. Will make one more kind at work. Traditionally it should be 7 kinds but I only make the ones I like. I have ordered a few kinds.

    Yes I eat of the dough because I am a toddler disguised as an adult.
    Outside is still bright and shiny glitrerring snow. Last week there was a full moon and with the snow it got so bright I didn't need a flashlight when walking.

    The Weight seems to be stuck. I know what causes it but I am really unmotivated.
