Forward progress even if it's not quite getting to the goal. I'm hopeful that I may get juuuuust under 140 in the next 2 days. I saw it one or two days but I've been pretty bloated the last few days.1 -
My name is Donna. I am 58/59 years young, Happy Birthday to me on May 10th!!!
5’ 5” tall and from the Midwest.
I will be weighing on the first and last day of the month for a full monthly account.
May Goal wt: 190.8
April 30 STARTING WEIGHT197.0
May 01: 196.8
May 08: 193.8 Cruising right along. Working hard at this. Night time is toughest but I’m managing my way through it. Funny how the strong times will disappear & reappear without warning. My Birthday Coming up on the 10th. Mother’s Day on the 12th. Lord, give me strength! I just want temporary celebrations to stay temporary & my healthy controlled lifestyle to shine through!
May 15: 192.6 Trying to stay on a downward trend. The flu helped. Now that I’m feeling better, it’s all on me again!
May 22: 194.6
May 29: 194.6 No change which is good after a Holiday. 2 more days to do better. I won’t make goal but I need to keep on keepin’ on!

May start wt: (April 30th) 179.6
May Goal wt: 170
May 1: 178.5
May 8: 178.5 (Switched shifts night to day for a bit, schedule wrecked havoc on my routine. Impressed I came about to the same.)
May 15:171.7 Think I was really dehydrated after about 20 miles in two days, so this weight loss might be artificially high. (It was +2 the following day)
May 22:170.4
May 29: 165.9 (Expecting a few pounds back tomorrow since I lost 3 pounds of likely water weight in 24 hours)
May weight loss: 13.7 pounds. Time to start slowing this loss down. Top end of healthy weight for my height is within a stones throw at this point.

Weighed again today since it’s the last day of the month. Made my goal!
Weight on last day of April - 145.3
Goal by end of May - 141.3 Seems reasonable to lose 4 lbs in a month
5/1 - 145.1
5/8 - 144.0
5/15 - 143.7
5/22 - 142.4
5/29 - 141.8
5/31 - 140.9. TOM bloating left (was still there on 5/29) so hopefully this is my true weight
Total loss - 4.4 lbs2 -

I had a feeling I was going to bounce back up a bit. I have done some kind of workout every day, even easy stuff on rest days. Diet could be a bit better but I wasnt that bad. I guess I would rather lose slow then make myself miserable with my diet. One more month of reporting in for that extra motivation!2 -

I'll take this challenge.... Started a day late but I don't think one day will hurt me.
April 2018 weight was 246lbs, my goal was always been 180 lbs. I've slipped some in the winter months, now I'm geared up to knock this out.
1st week. Extremely low carb /IF for the first week. The first 10lbs is always ez for me after a long layoff. The 3rd and 4th week will be tough. We'll see.
Update: I got called out on an emergency job in Phoenix Arizona, hope to be back by May 22.
Well the May Challenge kicked my butt or should I say ribs. On my last update, I said I got called to Phoenix for a few days on a emergency job. And while on that job I took a fall and cracked a rib or two. So I've been nursing my ribs ever since, I'm just now getting to where a sneeze doesn't hurt. I've gained some weight back since I've been down and unable to work or exercise. So I'm totally bummed about it. But I'm going to take June off and recuperate, so I can try again in July.
Congratulations to all the weight lost members, and the ones that didn't lose anything, don't give up. I'm not. 👍👍
