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

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 183.8
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 171.8
    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.

    Jan Start: 183.8
    Jan Goal: 179.8 (4 pound loss)
    Jan Actual: 181.6
    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 2.2 lb loss


    02/01-183.4-(Trend Weight: 183.0)-

    02/05-184.6-(Trend Weight: 183.2)- This has been a horrible last few days with me really going out on a rail. I made homemade chicken noodle soup to last a few days. I really didn’t need that pasta that was in it. I was totally triggered for carbs and more carbs which is pretty dangerous for my diabetes and doesn’t help my weight since diabetics tend to store it as belly fat. I know what I have to do but doing it is the hard part. But there is one thing harder, and that’s doing it consistently. Win some, lose some. Right now I’m losing lots of some.

    02/12-179.6-(Trend Weight: 181.4)- I stuck to the plan pretty well and it payed off. I travel today to an out of town dr. appointment.

    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 195 - 11 pounds

    January 1: 206

    January 8: 206 I did great all week until the weekend and then overate yesterday. Disappointing! The first anniversary of my DH death is coming up on March 9. This month marks his rapid decline. Many memories and most are sad and unpleasant.

    January 15: 206.8

    January 22: 206.8 Went up last week and stayed the same, now to bring it down. My special needs daughter had lithotripsy (sound waves) to remove a kidney stone yesterday. It's been a very stressful last few days with that and freezing rain that made driving to the hospital very tricky.

    January 29: 205.6 I haven’t felt the best this week with suffering vertigo from BPPV. Still managed a loss. Only lost .4 for the month but at least the number is down and not up.

    January Goal: 203
    January Actual: 205.6
    January Loss: .4

    February 5: 207.4 Well this is not good! Gotta watch what I’m doing, too many calories and not enough exercise.

    February 12: 208.8 Another terrible week and it's showing in my health. Developed a superficial blood clot in my leg. Treating it with just aspirin. Emotionally this is a rough time for me. My husband went into the hospital and year ago this month and died on Mar. 9. I've been coping with food and that's not good. I need to figure out something else.

    Random stuff about me:
    I am 59 years old this month (ouch). I currently live in Texas with my hubby and crew of kitty babies. I am a neonatal nurse practitioner and work 24hour shifts in a busy NICU. If it looks like I disappear on random days…that’s why! About 10 years ago I lost 135 pounds. Never made it to goal but just sort of leveled off at ~200 pounds. Over time I gained back nearly 50. Working on getting back at least to my low weight of 200. I would like to eventually make it to 150 where I think I would be comfortable.

    So this week is a gain. I gained even more today. I had hemorrhoid surgery yesterday. I knew it was coming but thought the wait list was longer. But I was on the list they call when someone has to cancel so I got it after just a week and a half. So this weekend I have sort of been dreding the surgery. And now I am on the sofa instructed to take it easy.

    So I am close to the fridge taking care to eat lots of fruits. I started a 28 day fitness challenge but I think I will restart when I am recoverd. This week will be more about not gaining than loosing weight.
