    My husband and I are retired.
    I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out since we have our Grandson every morning. He's 2 years old and a pistol!!

    Total loss for December: Up a pound for the month but down almost a pound for the week. I'll take that as a partial success. I am 1.2 pounds heavier than the beginning of the year. I'll accept that as a failure for now, but I will keep sticking to it.

    weight.png

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Start Weight (from Nov 30th ): 193.0

    Goal Weight: 189.0 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx





    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)-

    12/08-192.2-(Trend Weight: 192.8)-

    12/15-191.4-(Trend Weight: 193.1)- I took the long way getting to this nearly 1 lb drop this week. I don’t know why I always make it so hard on myself but here I am, a little bit lighter than last week and even lighter than the week before so I’ll take it and run, figuratively speaking of course.

    12/22-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)- This higher weight is due to my DGS’ birthday party yesterday which was filled with pizza, cheese bread, cake, ice cream and other such goodies. It was an overnight gain from 190.6. As you can tell by my trend weight, I’ve been doing okay considering we are leaning into the holiday and have lots of activities going on. Certainly there has been more restaurant food during all the shopping in the city etc. I am going to make today a banner day to shed some of the overnight sodium gain and get back on track. My family Feast is next Saturday so the weigh-in next week (the day after) will not be good. However, I’m hoping that by the last day of the year and challenge I will see the true end-of-year results. I started last year on January 1st weighing 183.8. Wow, 2024 has proven to be a back-sliding year for me. If I could hit back down into the 180’s in any capacity I would be so relieved. It would be nice to start 2025 behind my goal, yes, but on pretty good footing for a great January. Even when you give IN Donna, Never give UP! I started December at exactly the same weight I am today. I'm confident I can end with a loss for the month, even if the year ends with a wimper instead of a bang.

    12/29-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

    12/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    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
