    •Lose 5 lbs in May 2019•

    April 2019 - Gain / Loss
    of 2 lbs. 30 day average was 177 Monthly average went up! Not good.

    Original starting wgt: 253

    🌹Updating every day through May.

    •Monday Updates•📌

    May 1 - 178.4
    5/2 - 177.2
    5/3 - 178.2
    5/4 - 179
    5/5 - 178.8
    📌5/6 - 179 - 100g carbs, 96g net carbs. Carbs were: belgian waffles (2) salad dressing, broccoli slaw, strawberry preserves. Trying to just satisfy what my body wants right now, within reason. An increase in carbs, wrong type, but thats what was available.
    5/07 - 178.8 - 68g carbs, 56g net carbs. Carbs were: broccoli slaw, salad dressing, crackers, peanut butter, avocado. Another day of increased carbs, but bringing it back down. I don't feel that urgency to eat now.
    5/8 - 178.6 - 18g carbs, 10g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, avocado. Downward trend is S-L-O-W, but I feel in control again.
    5/9 - 176.2 - 31g, 19g net carbs. Carbs were: balsamic vinegar, salad, cauliflower, avocado, salsa, lemon juice, almond flour.
    5/10 - 175.4 - 31g carbs, 20g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, avocado, peanut butter, balsamic.
    5/11 - 175
    5/12 - 174 - 43g carbs, 38g net carbs. Carbs were: lemon juice, salad, peanut butter, hamburger roll.
    ~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.

    📌5/13 - 174.8
    5/14 - 176.2 - Elimination issues, so I'm going to try this psyllium husk powder that I bought last year. I've always been a little wary of it, but I hope it works.
    5/15 - 175.8
    5/16 - 177.4 - Psyllium powder worked, but I don't want to rely on it. I don't take laxatives and don't want to begin a habit of using a natural one. More seed porridge this week to help boost fiber.

    Today's Thoughts: I bobbled a bit. Up yesterday, down today. Trend Weight still falling, so that's a good thing. I can't say enough good things about the Trend Weight tracking - it gives you solid data point to know whether to worry about a fluctuation or not. I'm still not moving enough, and missing my exercise sessions. Total slug week. I know I have to turn that around before it affects my goal. I'll be surprised if I hit the May goal, but I will be close - and this will be the best month since I started tracking in December (it already is). It's all good! Everyone have a great long weekend! Hello Summer!!!!

    May Game Plan:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 Seven day average: 4357. That's more like it!
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 Seven day average: 23 (Down. Told ya')
    • Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7 Seven day average: 4 (that's gonna drop next week)

    Happy Saturday Fam. I’m feeling pretty frustrated about my weigh in. Down 2 lbs of the 10 I gained last week. I’ve stuck to my IF schedule, I’ve drank almost 3L of water daily I’ve stayed under my calorie goals every day mind some days I ate into my workout calories, I went out for walks every day with the exception of Monday, my snacking is still there but I’m making much better choices when it happens (unsalted nuts, fresh fruits and berries etc) and I’m only down 2 lbs of the 10. I was hoping to have lost at least half. I do believe my tummy swelling has something to do with this as I am more swollen around my incisions now than I have been since I had my surgery. The hematoma keeps filling back up after it gets drained and I think this may be a factor in my numbers. But it’s still extremely frustrating. Mid week I was actually down to 170 when the swelling started up and I was up 2 lbs the next day.

    Starting weight - 338.8 Lbs
    Current weight - 167.6 Lbs
    May goal - 160 Lbs
    Ultimate goal - 150 Lbs

    May 04 - 163.9
    May 11 - 164.2
    May 18 - 174.2
    May 25 - 172.4

    Total loss for May + 4.8 Lbs

    @mari_moulin You are doing great! You really decided after the holidays to kick it up a notch & start major weight loss again & you've succeeded! I am still working on that holiday fat & that was five months ago!!!! Be proud of yourself because I am certainly proud of you. We know there are setbacks & speed bumps along the way. We also know it comes off much much much slower than it goes on so don't worry, you are still in charge! It will come off in a nice healthy way. You are an inspiration. Please don't forget that!
