    Just made February and March harder on myself.

    @Corina1143 Ah..... You just made February and March an OPPORTUNITY to grow and to practice things like self-discipline. Every experience is another OPPORTUNITY. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. I have to believe that for myself or I would go INSANE in this journey. Cheer up! Good things are on the way!

    Intro: I am 43 years old, 5'2" with a starting weight of 146 lbs. With being petite, EVERY pound is a battle. I have three little kids - ages 4, 6, and 8 -- and my hubby travels for work. So, cooking heathy meals the kids will actually eat, as well as trying to find time to exercise are struggles for me.

    Beginning weight: 146 lbs
    End of Challenge Goal: 139 lbs

    January 8: 146 lbs.
    January 15: 144.2 lbs.
    January 22: 143 lbs.
    January 29: 143.8 lbs.

    March 19 (End of Challenge):

    Weekly Update: Well, boo. I've been plateauing around 143 all week. I've done well with tracking, and actually started tracking exercise (just to have a goal and make record of my exercise, etc.) I think I'm going back to just aiming for a 1/2 lb loss a week - 1350 calories for me - and not tracking any exercise. (I will still exercise as I was, but not track it on MFP.) I seem to have better luck with that.

    Trying to keep up the good fight! It's tough for me to stick with it when progress grinds to a halt.

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. I will weigh on Wednesdays but also on the 1st and last day of every month for an end-of-month full tally.


    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Dec 31st): 192.6
    CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 10 pounds to land at 182.6
    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
    TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE: 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

    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)-

    01/08-194.0-(Trend Weight: 193.1)-

    01/15-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.2)-

    01/22-191.4-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Meals were good again but sneaking into the night time snacks is still happening and needs to stop. I have identified it as intense sugar cravings and emotional self-sabotage eating. I’m still going round & round with the old contractor. My only relief is that the new contractors are moving along very well though they do have many prior commitments that sometimes brings things to a stall. Weather is ridiculously cold here and they are dealing with helping multiple people or small companies with frozen pipes etc. Day 3 of no school here due to below zero temps. I have not been sleeping well or sleeping enough as the emotions affects that too. I feel like I’m just a mess. However, TMI cooperated. Stay warm folks! And for those in warm temps, stay cool. Stay cool…..Hmmmm……That sounds like something I would have written in the 1970’s in a high school year book! I hope you older folks got a chuckle there!

    01/29-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.5)- I jump of 1.2 lbs overnight did not help. My trend weight is doing good because its been a decent week. Today I travel and will be eating at a restaurant. I must watch my p’s and q’s. I would like to finish out this month with some sort of loss. I just can’t let myself keep going backwards!
