    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
    May goal 159.9

    May loss - 1.8 - Really wanted to get into the 50s. Not yet.
    April loss - 7.7 - Maybe all of that calorie burn from February and March finally showed up.
    March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
    February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs

    April 30 - 167.9

    May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
    May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
    I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
    May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.
    May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.
    May 05 - 166.4 - Back on track, but stuff from Friday is still showing up. Maybe tomorrow will be better : - )
    May 06 - 165.6
    May 08 - 165.3
    May 09 - 165.1
    May 10 - 165.0
    May 11 - 165.3 - Ready to see a loss!
    May 12 - 166.2 - Very large deficits since Friday - digging, tilling, weeding, planting. Slow metabolism, so maybe that will show up Tuesday or Wednesday hopefully. Potato garden today and weeding everywhere.
    May 13 - 166.5
    May 14 - 165.6
    May 15 - 164.3 - I didn't manage to get enough water in yesterday, so the scale is down today.
    May 16 - 163.0 - Yay!
    May 17 - 163.1
    May 19 - 164.7 - Dang. Oh well, not sweating it, staying the course.
    May 20 - 163.5
    May 21 - 164.6
    May 22 - 164.3
    May 23 - 163.9 - Going away until Monday, no wifi. So challenging to not be eating one's own food, and not much of a cushion this month. I will see what I can get in for workouts.
    May 27 - 161.5
    May 28 - 163.3
    May 30 - 163.5
    May 31 - 163.3

    May loss - 1.8 pounds

    June 01 - 163.3
    June 02 - 163.0

    Sorry the June post is late guys, been away with my son for the week and just got back.
    WiFi was terrible where we were and the app kept freezing on me so couldn’t get it uploaded.

    The just challenge is now up and running though

    I went a little crazy towards the end of the month. Ended around 152 lbs. Ate way too many sweets. But I'm back on track as of yesterday and I've set new goals for myself. Ready for the June challenge!

    May was very busy for me and a roller-coaster, so I just let myself indulge only because my niece was finally moving back to Florida so we a some celebrations before she left. I knew May wouldn't be any different from the previous months but in June I'll definitely change my tune!

    199.6 (water weight etc...and carbs too! *wink*)
