    @GinLee61 Congratulations on hitting your lowest weight in 20 years! That is so INCREDIBLE!!! Even if you teeter-totter back and forth a pound or two, just being able to reach out and touch it is so AMAZING. Celebrate You my friend. You deserve it! I hope you will kick that fever and feel better soon.

    @deepwoodslady - thank you so much!! I started to feel better yesterday afternoon and I actually felt like cooking. This morning I feel even stronger and hope to do an abbreviated cardio workout to ease myself back into exercising.

    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 Jan 31): 181.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 169.6
    CHALLENGE ACTUAL ENDING WEIGHT:
    TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:



    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.

    03/05-177.4-(Trend Weight: 178.9)- I have my family doctor appointment later this afternoon located locally in the next town over. I think he’ll be pleased with my weight loss since I last saw him. I am beginning to see more loose skin so I would prefer to lose it slow but steady at my age. My secret desire, however, is to hit 169 point anything by my birthday May 10th. I have not been losing at a rate that would get me there so it is a dream for sure. Oh but what a dream!

    03/12-180.6-(Trend Weight: 179.5)- I traveled again yesterday which really upped the scale due to restaurant food for 2 of my meals. So much sitting when traveling! I am not worried though. I know I can get it back down, I just hate the set-backs and how it delays the progress. However, I must remember that this too shall pass and is inevitably part of the journey for us all.
