    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    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


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from Nov 30th): 193.0
    Goal: 189.0 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    FIRST HALF OF THE MONTH:


    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.


    12/01-194.2-(Trend Weight 192.0)-

    12/02-192.8-(Trend Weight 192.0)-

    12/03-191.8-(Trend Weight 192.0)-

    12/04-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)-

    12/05-197.6-(Trend Weight 192.8)-

    12/06-193.8-(Trend Weight 192.9)-

    12/07-192.4-(Trend Weight 192.8)- What a pathetic year this has been for me. Looking over my records I see that on Dec 31, 2023 I ended the year at 183.8. On my other challenges which are weekly or monthly my goal is always set to lose 4 lbs each month. 4 x 12 = 48 lbs. I could have been down to 135.8 lbs which is 10 lbs less than my actual overall goal. That means that by sometime in Sept or Oct I could have been in maintenance and learning so much about that phase from so many of you. 2024 is such a disappointment to me and to my health goals. Am I using my statistical data to help me going forward or am I just crying over spilled milk? Why document these weight results if not to use them? I don’t know but I do know that I can do better than this. I started the year at 183.8 I’m 9 lbs heavier today. I know that no one can do it for me. Somewhere along the line this year I stopped keeping my home the β€œsafe zone” with only good foods. I’m not going to blame anyone else, but I think it truly started when my DD and DGS started staying weekends. The foods in the house definitely changed. But that didn’t mean I had to eat them. Changes, compliance, readiness, willingness, they are all up to me. I hope that 2025 will be different. I know there will be setbacks we all encounter – travel, holidays, social or special occasions. But those are finite. Numbered. A lifestyle is forever and that is what needs to change in me. I suppose I’m just reflecting today but I know I am not alone. I really want to make 2025 a banner year. It feels like I can do it if I just stay steadfast in my resolve. I’ve tasted all the donuts and tortilla chips and ice cream before. But I haven’t tasted the 140’s in about 22 years. That’s what I need to crave! I wanted to start with a 5 lb loss. 1.4 down and 3.6 to go.

    12/08-192.2-(Trend Weight 192.8)- I don’t really trust this weight. I honestly think it should have been a bit lower. I had a great day yesterday and the scale this morning was all over the place. It started way too low showing I’d lost over 5 lbs overnight. Knowing that was wrong I moved it to a different than usual place and it showed a gain over yesterday. I knew that was wrong too so I kept moving it little bits at a time and it kept changing. I finally took it down to the cement floor basement and got this weight twice in two spots so that’s what I’m settling with. However, since I haven’t been using that spot I don’t know that it is a direct comparison to previous weights. I’m going to start from here and use the basement from now on I think. My scale is a rechargeable style and usually very reliable. I may try charging it tonight and see what happens. Today I am going out of town to see Moana 2 with DGS. Afterward, a small birthday party at a restaurant in the city for him. So Linner will be out. I expect the scale will be up a bit tomorrow but it should be temporary. I guess it won’t be a good day afterall the test the scale after charging. Humph!

    Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I skipped this challenge for November and it was an epic fail. The first month since I started this journey that I gained weight. So I am back , probably for the rest of my life LOL!

    Dec 7: 141.2 πŸ‘£ πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈπŸ“πŸ«€πŸ’¦ I did it to myself. A little self sabtoge yesterday - a little over my limit, high sodium day. But back at it today. Didn't do much yesterday. Got a little housework done, did some online shopping. Today meeting my sisters at Foxwoods for a little high stakes Bingo game. My Aunt is up from Florida for the holidays and didn't get to go on our Girls Weekend trip this year, so we are doing this with her instead. Should be fun - bringing my own lunch!

    22.7K πŸ‘£ Steps, 90 Min 4 Mile πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈwalk, 26 Min πŸ«€ Cardio. Over my calorie limit - 186 Calories.

It might show up tomorrow. My younger sister won at Bingo, but had to split it with a few people - ended up with $300. Not too shabby. No such luck for me. Got home and had dinner, worked out, and then went to bed!

    14.8K πŸ‘£ Steps, 47 Min - 2 Mile πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈtreadmill, 30 min πŸ«€ Cardio, 15 Min πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈStrength. Left a whopping 8 calories on the table!

    Dec 9: 140.2 πŸ‘£ πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈπŸ“πŸ₯— πŸ«€ πŸ’¦ Away all day today. My daughter has Jury duty today, I dropped her off in the city instead of her having to find a place to park (and pay for it). Hanging at her house until she is finished. Should be an easy day - since I'm here not much to do except workout (she has a treadmill), and maybe clean her condo. Brought my own breakfast and lunch.

    18,6K πŸ‘£ Steps 85 min - πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈβ€βž‘οΈ walk - 2.5 Mile outside, 1.75 mile treadmill, 35 min πŸ«€ Cardio, 111 πŸ₯— Calorie Deficit.

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm Cindy and 51 and have been married to my very supportive husband for 27 years. We have a daughter who is 19.
    I can't believe its December!πŸŽ„β›„ 2024 has not been my year for loosing weight. However, I did get a gym membership in July and go consistently. Usually 4 days a week, so I consider that a win. I do feel more fit even if the scale doesn't reflect it.
    The November goal of logging my food was met the last half of the month and I started to see a little change in weight.

    April 2020 - 165
    Goal - 140
    December Starting Weight - 159
    December Goal - 155

    12/1 - 159 ⬇️
    12/2 - 158.8 ⬇️ Made it to the gym after work. Logged my food.
    12/3 - 158.6 ⬇️
    12/4 - 159 ⬆️ Ugh! I worked out hard yesterday. This is so frustrating.
    12/5 - 158.4 ⬇️
    12/6 - 158 ⬇️
    12/7 - 158.2 ⬆️ 😒 Too much bread yesterday and no exercise.
    12/8 - 158.2 Well at least I didn't gain. 🫀 Got a lot of Christmas shopping done yesterday. Just have a few more or buy.
    12/9 - 158.8 Starting the week the same as last week. So sick and tired of staying in a calorie deficit, working out, and still not loosing. Feeling defeated.

    @iLive2Walk I found this particularly inspiring today. You are away from home and still finding a way to get in your fitness and eat properly by even bringing your own food! I would have used this as an excuse to try a new restaurant or a new menu item! Honestly, you are teaching me so much! I don't know when I will be as prepared, as able or as willing as you to make these concessions, but the reminders of where I need to be are so important to me! Thanks for always sharing a better way!

    12/09-194.0-(Trend Weight 192.9)- We had a wonderful time seeing Moana 2 and having a little birthday party at a nearby restaurant while out of town yesterday. It’s always a joy to spend fun time with my DGS that I babysit. Scale is up today. I weighed on the basement floor again so I could get a direct comparison. I’m still leary of how the scale is working since I got that weird reading yesterday of a 5 lb loss overnight, then a 2 lb gain. Keeping an eye on it! If yesterday’s reading was correct then today’s is probably right. I would expect to have gained a pound or two after the travel and festivities of yesterday.

    Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I skipped this challenge for November and it was an epic fail.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    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.

    12/09-194.0-(Trend Weight 192.9)- We had a wonderful time seeing Moana 2 and having a little birthday party at a nearby restaurant while out of town yesterday. It’s always a joy to spend fun time with my DGS that I babysit. Scale is up today. I weighed on the basement floor again so I could get a direct comparison. I’m still leary of how the scale is working since I got that weird reading yesterday of a 5 lb loss overnight, then a 2 lb gain. Keeping an eye on it! If yesterday’s reading was correct then today’s is probably right. I would expect to have gained a pound or two after the travel and festivities of yesterday.

    12/10-194.4-(Trend Weight: 193.1)- Pizza last night with my son. Me and bread don’t mix. I have a cardiology appointment out of town tomorrow. She is going to be pretty disappointed in me! I weighed about 12 pounds less when I saw her in June. Ugh!

    Still trucking. 2 days until the parents come and trying to hit goal weight. I think I can make it! It’s not much, and I still have a ways to go for my goal, but it’s something. Put my jeans on today and haven’t worn them in a week, but still tighter than I want. It’s a journey not a race and I have to keep telling myself that.

    12/10-194.4-(Trend Weight: 193.1)- Pizza last night with my son. Me and bread don’t mix. I have a cardiology appointment out of town tomorrow. She is going to be pretty disappointed in me! I weighed about 12 pounds less when I saw her in June. Ugh!

    12/11-194.2-(Trend Weight: 193.2)- I wonder how much a Doctor really wants to help someone who doesn’t appear to want to help themselves? My Cardiology appointment is today. The roads are horrible and I’m terrified to drive and it would be so easy for me to call and cancel and not face the fiddler. I am going. I’ll just leave early. Accountability!

    All, I'd like to join you for December.

    My goals:
    -Stay in the group for the whole month! Don't give up or drop out.

    -Report my weight daily (except Dec 25 & 26.)

    -Log daily, or almost daily this month (except Dec 25 &26).

    Ultimate starting weight: 160 lbs
    Ultimate goal weight: 121 lbs

    December 1: 129.0
    December 2: 128.2 πŸŽ„ I logged
    December 3: 127.2 πŸŽ„ I logged
    December 4: 126.0 Yesterday I came down with a flu like virus; including upset stomach.
    December 5: DNW Still sick. Pretty miserable this morning and did not think to weigh. But, thought I'd pop in to check in.
    December 6: DNW- Sick
    December 7: DNW- Sick
    December 8: 126.2 Still sick. Went to the dr a couple days ago and got some medicine that is helping some.

    December 9: 128.4 πŸŽ„ I logged Very disappointing weight today. After 4-5 days sick with little appetite; what, did I drink two pounds in juice?? πŸ™„ Well anyway, I'm still not 100% but I'm well enough to start regaining normalcy. Back to logging today.

    December 10: 128.0
    December 11: 127.8 It just occurred to me... I've been on prednisone... this could be adding to the weight struggle that I wasn't expecting. Today's my last day, thankfully.

    @andreajlnhe Yup, definitely leads to fluid retention. Are you feeling better?

    Hi everyone,

    February 29, 2008 - 217 (All-time highest weight before I joined)
    Goal Range - 132-140
    December Starting Weight - 152.2
    December Goal - 150 (or less)

    12/01 - 152.2
    12/02 - 153.2
    12/03 - 153.6
    12/04 - 154.6
    12/05 - 154.6 (No change!)
    12/06 - 153.8
    12/07 - 153.8 (No change)
    12/08 - 153.6
    12/09 - Skipped
    12/10 - Skipped
    12/11 - 153.0
    Total UP/DOWN to date (from 12/01 restart date): UP - 0.8

    I skipped the past couple of days because I wasn't feeling well. Turns out. I have COVID (again). The first time was Halloween, 2022. I've now had a total of 11 COVID shots, including the latest booster on 9/21; so I hope it's a milder case this time! I started having symptoms on Sunday and tested positive on Tuesday.

    Wish me luck! I'll check back in tomorrow.

    Hi folks just been discovering the community pages today. Would love to connect with more people on here and get to know others in the same journey as me. Currently in a weight loss phase my weight in this morning was -4kg down. Aiming for a total loss of 25 to 30 kg so a good start.

    Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I skipped this challenge for November and it was an epic fail. The first month since I started this journey that I gained weight. So I am back , probably for the rest of my life LOL! Was trying to cut back on my screen time, but logging in daily really keeps me on track. Besides that, missed you all too! πŸ’—
