    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.

    Jan Start: 192.6
    Jan Goal: 188.6 (4 pound loss)
    Jan Actual: 191.2
    Cumulative Weight Loss so Far: 1.4 lbs down

    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.

    02/01-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- My scale weight is up a bit after a very late night (2 AM) meal but my trend weight continues to go down. I’m glad it has faith in me as it is aligning with my faith in myself. A small overnight blip that should flush away rather quickly after the high-sodium soup. I have zero intention of chasing my own tail this month! Let’s go!

    02/05-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I woke up late and hit the floor running with the contractors at my door trying to get in and work. No thought to weigh, only to get dressed and get the coffee going. I know I am way up from the weight on the 1st due to my daily challenges. If I could just be back at start weight by next week I would be shocked but happy. Happy hump day!

    Hi everyone,

    Happy Weekend! I'm BACK! I've been totally slacking off lately (too many excuses and yet no excuses!) but I'm really looking forward to the final five weeks until the end of this challenge - the LAST day of Winter!

    Good thing too - Boston is expecting a snowstorm tonight into tomorrow with about 4-8 inches expected. Sometimes they hype it up and we get practically nothing and sometimes we get way over the predicted accumulation. We shall see...

    Guess what? My new cat has finally come out of hiding (after two weeks) and we are really bonding now! She even likes to sleep on my lap! (Today I'm going to build her a 3-foot cat tree!)

    I will wait until this Wednesday to weigh in. I will post my scale app stats as I did on day one and will update with side-by-side comparison on March 20th (the first day of S*P*R*I*N*G!)🌷

    Enjoy your weekend. I will check back soon!

    💞 Carole

    Hi, @tammierlewis! We're the same age, close to the same height (I'm 5'3") and close to the same weight! (My scale said 156.4 this morning.)

    Have a fabulous cruise! It's great that you have lots of activities planned! Bet you'll even lose weight before your return!

    Best wishes,
    💗 Carole

    02/12-194.8-(Trend Weight: 193.7)- It’s been a horrible February so far. The sugar cravings are winning. Meals have been pretty good, for the most part. It’s those night time snacks and munchies that are getting me! My birthday is May 10th and I decided that my first mini-goal is to lose a full 10 pounds between now and then. That would put me firmly in the 180’s and on much better footing health-wise. I would still be 30 to 40 pounds away from my ultimate goal, but those numbers sound so much more do-able. Am I reaching for the stars? I dunno, but stretching is good for you, right?

    Starting weight = 184.2
    Goal weight = 170
    Ultimate goal weight = to be determined

    Jan 1 - 184.2
    Jan 8 - 186.2
    Jan 29 - 184.
    Feb 5 - 186.6

    Feb 12- 188. And some of it is real weight, not temporary. The weather has kept me from the gym a lot. My physical therapy insurance ran out. I'm just eating and not exercising. 🤞 spring is coming. Maybe I can hold on til then.

    Too much extra eating everyday this past week for me and all of the unhealthy kind as well. Need to be more consistent with portion size, limit my snacking and moving more. I did finally try a T25 workout this week. Was able to make it through with a lot of modification. It was the first real significant movement since my injury in Oct. Foot responded pretty well so there is that.

    Hi All!
    I am up a little bit this week, but I think due to several factors. First, I think it could be hormonal changes this week. Second, what a whirlwind of a week. Due to two family emergencies, it was chaos. We had guests stay at our home from out of town due to one family emergency, and for the other I was leaving the house 3 times per day to attend to family matters. Needless to say, eating was more about just making sure I ate what was cooked/available, rather than focusing on the calories. I tried to be as mindful as possible, but mostly I ate whatever my husband made for our out-of-town guests. And when I was out and about, I tried to make mindful choices of what I ate out.
    Its the first time I've "fallen back" since December, so its been a little discouraging, but trying to pick it back up slowly but surely. I'm back to tracking my calories, and now its just working towards starting to integrate exercise again.

    Its a marathon, not a race. The time will keep going, no matter what I choose. So might as well make the healthier choices! Heres to hoping for better results next week!
