    Starting weight at the beginning of this challenge; 158. Current weight; 154.2

    While not hitting my goal of 150, the trajectory is going in the right direction. What has been working for me: heart healthy eating: fish, less red meat, lots of veggies, fruit, less cream in the coffee, fewer sweets, no alcohol. It's a change of lifestyle and not a diet. Cardiologist's orders.

    Thank you, @RubyRed427 for continuing the thread. I will be joining in again. I love all the supportive comments here.

    @SunnyDays930 Thanks for sharing your eating plan. Information in regards to the heart and the weight loss too is always helpful and great reminders. You've had a stellar month you can be proud of. See you in the next round!

    02/05: 205. Let's get it!
    02/12: 201. A fair bit of that was just not having all the vacation food in my guts. And losing all that salt related water weight.
    02/19: 204. Kinda bounced off that 200# floor. I was right at 200 for a couple of days, then food happened. I've hit that stage in weight loss where my workouts are suffering. Lifting much less weight despite still going to the gym regularly. My joints ache. Had to do a bit of a refeed to feel better about the workouts, but it had consequences.
    02/26: 199!!! Finally under that 200 mark. I fluttered between 196.5 and 199.5 over the last few days, so I'll take it!
    03/04: 197. That's realistically about 4-5 pounds down in Feb. That's right on track. Pound a week is good stuff. I'd love to be down to 190 by my b-day in May.
    03/11: 195. Killin' it. Although I'm expecting a small rebound from not being in the gym while I've had a cold.
    03/18: 197. There's the bump I expected. No worries. Back at it.
    03/25: 194. I was really good this week, but at least some of that is dehydration from the 2 glasses of wine I had before bed. :)
    04/15: 197. Man... been a second. I gotta be honest that I am pretty stoked about this 197 because I've been on vacation in TX for the past 2 weeks with no gym and TX food... so... I'll take this 197. I bet it will be a fair bit lower next week.

    It was a wild last couple of weeks there. My diet? Out the window, basically didn't log anything and ate food. Made changes to my goals, less focused on the # number and switched it over to the % number. (I started back on creatine which puts on water weight) So the scale showed me right at 196 this morning, but... I'm just a hair under that 20% mark. So not a total loss. Future goal of 12-15%. Thanks everyone for sticking through this better than I did.

    @bryantparson Here is the link for the new challenge. She changed the name (goal) to 10 pounds instead of 15 but it IS this challenge. I hope this helps.

    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 Apr 30th): 185.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 173.6
    CHALLENGE 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.


    05/01-185.4-(Trend Weight: 182.3)- This is my birthday month and the best gift I can give myself is the gift of health. I’ll be working on keeping my carbs low enough to keep my diabetes in check. I’ll be working on calories also to assist in much-needed weight loss. I hope to get back into the 170's this round even though my actual goal is always a 4 pound loss per month which would keep me in the low 180's for May. So, I will aim for the 4 lbs and hope for over 5.4 lbs. A foot injury put me on a path of weight gain but things are improving on that front so there are no excuses not to step up my game. I hope that the Northern Michigan weather will cooperate and I will be able to get outside more and get in more activity. If not, I will work on inside physical activity. Good luck everyone this round. We got this, my friends!

    05/07-185.2-(Trend Weight: 183.8)- My 64th birthday is this week on the 10th! This past weekend was the college graduation of my oldest daughter (aged 41 next month) who went back to school to get a degree in early education. The dinner was very nice but food outside of my home is always a challenge. After having traveled so much last week, I needed a special dinner like I needed a hole in the head! But I was a proud mama and focused on her and the celebration, not my diet or myself in any way. I don’t regret that but I definitely have my work cut out for me this week. Thankfully it did not cause me to go into a spiral. I am still committed to reaching my overall goals.
