    @TerriRichardson112 If you don't mind me asking, what is your height and ultimate goal?

    5’2” I’m currently maintaining at 148.6. I am 74 years old. My weight is in the normal range for my age, height and build (using wrist circumference). I use a modern BMI calculator, rather than the old basic one.

    @syreina You didn’t gain weight 😂 It’s just a reminder that even weight is relative. I can move my scale about and it will vary by 2-3 lbs.

    Look at trends. If you are still trending down you are doing a fine.

    Challenge Goal weight: 129.2 lb
    Ultimate goal weight 125 lb

    I just weaned my 15 month old. Up till now any time I tried to lose weight, even slowly, I lost my milk. Now that she isn't nursing I can get this done! I haven't lost even 1 lb since the day after I gave birth. Even when I gave birth I only lost 3 lbs above her birth weight which was a bit disappointing. I've been feeling low about myself and have some goals to achieve after stopping breastfeeding. I've been on medication to help with lactation for over a year that has the effect of emptying the stomach quickly, thus increasing hunger. It will take 20 to 25 more days to safely get off the medication. I want to lose weight and increase fitness. And I want to sleep darn it. Hopefully with these being done I will feel more like myself. Its been a hard year.

    I'm not new to MFP. I lost my original weight in 2013 using Weight Watchers, then switched to MFP to maintain. I had my first child in 2017 and lost the weight easily (using MFP) while breastfeeding him. I had my second child in January 2019 but have been unable to lose the weight. Even though I weigh less than I did before losing weight the very first time in 2013, my measurements are actually bigger... oh babies. I really want to fit back into my wardrobe. I am too cheap to buy all new clothes.

    MY NAME IS DONNA. I AM 59 YEARS YOUNG & FROM THE MIDWEST USA. I AM APPROX 5’ 5” TALL.



    Start date: May 1, 2020
    Challenge Starting Weight: (From April 30th) 207.9
    Challenge Level: ✴✴✴
    Challenge Goal weight: 192.9



    05/01 – 207.7 Good luck everyone!
    05/06 – xxxxx Traveling today, which is never good in the food OR exercise category. I will try to maintain some degree of self-control and dignity however, being from a very very small town, entering the city is mind-blowing and temptation is on every corner. I’ve got to stay cool.
    05/13 – 204.9 Making progress but traveling today which will be a set-back in both diet and exercise. I’ll work hard to mitigate any damage all week. It’s my birthday on Mother’s Day so I am going to give myself the present of progress!
