Lose 5lbs + in April 2021

I did reach my previous UGW of 110 lbs in August 2020 but gained weight every month since and I felt 110 lbs was too low.
I've found my new UGW (maintenance) aim of 115 to 120 lbs. I'm using Fitbod app in hopes of slowly gaining muscle as I reach for my new maintenance goal.

@syreina ❤, Yep, have to do it. Each day is a new chance for correction. It will come.4

My name is Donna and I am from the Great Midwest in the USA
Age: Almost 61. Height 5 feet 5.5 inches when I stand up very straight (I’ve shrunk!)
I like to weigh in on the 1st and the very last day of each month, but otherwise follow the leader.
Original starting weight - 253
March Ending Weight – 208.2
April goal – 203.2
Ultimate goal – 145-155 (We’ll see when I get there)
1st – 207.6 I am THRILLED that this challenge is back. It is one of my favorites! Thank you @tiabirdie56 for letting me know. Good luck everyone!
8th- 208.2 Frustrating as my eating has mainly been on target and my movement has increased. Banging head on the wall here.
15th – 207.6 This finds me a bit lower than last week. I know my diet must improve. My exercise or movement has remained good.
22nd - 207.2 Covid shot #2 today so I’m feeling a bit tired. I experienced some extra travel this week so I’m grateful that the scale is still below last week. I know I can try harder and do better. I have lots of tools in my toolbox, I just need to sharpen the blades and get to work!
29th – xxxxx
30th - xxxxx

Final Challenge thoughts: Okay, so my birthday is May 10th. I want to give myself a present of a consistent trend of healthy weight loss!

@syreina thank you! I’m really trying to keep my head up.
I have to accept that a journey has ups downs turns and occasional stops to check thee GPS and realize we’ve taken a wrong turn. That’s where I am currently. It’s not always a straight a narrow path. I’m so proud of you all and am glad to be sharing this part of my journey with you ♥️6 -
