    I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and typically order one entrée/no sides or soup and salad
    *2025 I will not eat anywhere with a drive thru window!
    *I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days and cut down on wine/beer and buying cake, cupcakes
    *Also, I have a meal plan with vegetarian meals at least 5 days per week. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.

    Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🥳 Happy New Year!!!

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.


    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 192.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 180.6
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
    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.


    01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)-

    01/06-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- No TMI x 3 isn’t helping but I’m still happy to see a 0.4 lb drop since the Jan 1st. Yesterday’s diet could have been better. It was so busy I ended up with a lot of processed foods (TV dinner etc) and junk snacks instead of healthy ones for the most part. I need to do better and I know I CAN do better if I apply myself. I’m having a meeting with my General Contractor today. I’m nervous and I’m sure he won’t be happy since I’m not. Please keep me in your thoughts .

    01/13-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- I’ve seen some progress this week and have been more attentive to my diet. It’s really hard to get back into the swing of things after the holidays but I’m giving it my all. I’m please with how its going for the most part. I’m pleased with how my trend weight is trending down each day. However, I know that I should be exercising and moving more and that is where I am lacking the most. No excuses, I’m just being lazy. I need to turn that around too.

    my doctor told me to pause my weight loss for at least two weeks before the surgery, and for three months after. I read a lot about the topic at the time because I wanted to make sure I would have an easy and complete recovery, and all the newer medical articles and studies I read said the same thing.

    I mention this because I think it is always tempting to try to quickly lose a bunch of weight right before a surgery, but that is actually going to be more harmful than helpful. During this time, focus on eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of protein, and getting as much exercise as you can without injury. This will help you recover well from your surgery, and afterward you can focus on losing the weight :) Right now you want your body to have everything it needs, and not focus on putting all its energy into losing weight when it is going to need it for healing.

    Fantastic information for all of us. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I need some suggestions. I was doing really good with keeping my food under control. Yesterday and today I have snacked on popcorn, gluten free pretzels, nuts, cheese cubes, and some chocolate. What are some suggestions for healthy snacks that I can have at work?
