    May 02 - 165.6 (Had a great day yesterday. Returned from the lake, picked up my resized rings, shopped for new work clothes that fit, had a nice supper with my husband and Mom and rode the Peloton for 90 minutes.)
    May 03 - 167 (Fun night riding the Peloton, walking my dog, and a bit of TV. Back in office today which makes me feel more crunched for time.)
    May 04 - 167.8 (Another busy work day but I got in a walk at lunch with my husband and had a Peloton ride after work. Making the new schedule work and still finding time to prioritize me.)

    May 06 - 170 (My husband has the flu or something like it so our weekend has started off on a quieter note. I have done the cooking the last two nights which isn't our usual routine. I took my dog for a nice walk tonight to enjoy some sun and I also retested on the Peloton during my lunch break and improved my FTP.)

    May 10 - 164.4 (Wasn't firing on all cylinders today but I've ate on plan, drank my water, and gotten over 10,000 steps. I still want to ride the Peloton but we'll see if I time out before bed.)
    May 11 - 165.2 (I did get my Peloton ride in last night, and I had a much better day today. Off to enjoy a walk with my husband and my dog.)
    May 12 - 164.6 (Thursdays are a mini Friday of sorts because it's my last day of work in the office. I have a meetup with a friend at lunch I haven't seen since I started losing weight. So excited to catch up with her. My husband is still feeling better, so that's positive, and we have a virtual wine tasting event tonight that I'm looking forward to!)
    May 13 - 161.8 (Had a big wine night and drank way more than I intended to. Morning was a bit rough but I feel better now. Off to the lake now!)
    May 14 - 163.8 (Had time to sleep in today but still feel unrefreshed as I was up for the washroom multiple times last night. Good thing all I have to do today is laze around the lake :))

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from April 30th): 203.2
    Goal: xxxxx (Five lb Loss) 198.2

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    05/01…...204.6…..(Trend Weight 202.5)…..

    05/07.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 202.8)…..


    05/14.…..202.8…..(Trend Weight 202.8)….. About the same as yesterday. No TMI., 5 hours of sleep, but lots of steps yesterday and calorie burn due to working in the yard cleaning up 3 dead trees that I had cut down. Had to take lots of breathing breaks due to some heart issues. I hope the cardiologist can help on my first ever appointment June 1st.



    05/15……204.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. I just had breakfast and dinner last night. But dinner was pasta (Lasagna). Sugar free candy for snack. Very swollen from gnat bites that I’m allergic to. Fluid retention and swelling. Nothing is helping. Benedryl, lavender oil, lavender shower gel washing (from essential oil company young living), baking soda paste, ibuprofen, cold compresses, cold water soaking, lymphomic fluid massage, keeping arms and legs elevated. Prescription Steroid cream, Horrid! Some travel today for supplies again. Probably one meal out with my helper. I’ll stay away from pasta today!


    05/16……203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A small amount of travel yesterday. About 75 miles each way so not too bad. We had lunch out and I chose breakfast foods to keep the carbs down. It was good that it wasn’t a late dinner like it commonly is when traveling. I had time to burn some of it off later in the day. It was a personal trying day later in the day but I got through it. Anyway, the travel was for a Cement bird bath with the top being like a sunflower. I’ve already seen one of my birdies on it and he was smiling. He then flew off to tell his family and friends. It was a tough day otherwise, until that birdie landed. It was like a soft kiss on a boo-boo. Today will be a glorious day! I can feel it!


    05/17.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.

    May 01 184 lbs
    May 04 184 lbs. Wednesday is my normal weigh in. I am thankful for no weight gain. I found April real distressing with the hills and valleys of my weight. My weekly trend weight went from 184.9 to 183.8. So that goal was accomplished. Now to focus on weight reduction.
    “May the 4th be with you” 😄

    May 10 183 lbs ⬇️
    May 11 183 lbs OK 1lb less in 11 days. My weekly trend weight from last Wednesday went from 183.8 to 183.4. So it is downward trend. Half a month have lots of discipline to do.

    May 12 184.5 lbs ⬆️ Stress causes me to eat & put that with insomnia makes a terrible result. Tomorrow is a new day.
    May 13 184.5 lbs
    May 14 184.5 lbs
    May 15 184.5 lbs
    May 16 184.5 lbs no golf today because of rain. Had to settle for the treadmill.

    Thanks Jill for keeping the monthly challenges going! :-)
    💐May Challenge💐

    I am ready for an Mahvelous May too!
    Mary 65 now from Pennsylvania. Goal weight 122 lbs. Was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for about 5 years and got lazy. I do low Carb 15+/- 3 Net Carbs/day(My body seems to hang on to Carbs/not burn them),1000-1200 calories daily, 2 meals on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days (4, long hours) and I only exercise on my days off due to the long work days.

    Heaviest weight: 255 lbs, twice :-(

    9/14/20-255 lbs. Started a new job without a micromanager.
    5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
    5/14/21-232.2 lbs. Started MFP, low carb and calorie restricted diet while recovering. Actively trying to lose now.
    6/1/21-228.8 lbs
    7/1/21-222.2 lbs
    8/1/21-212 lbs
    9/1/21-200 lbs
    10/1/21-191.4 lbs
    11/1/21-181.8 lbs
    12/1/21-176.2 lbs
    1/1/22-168 lbs
    2/1/22-157.4 lbs
    3/1/22-155 lbs
    4/1/22-156.4 lbs
    5/1/22-158.8 lbs :-( No way is this actual with all the Elliptical miles Friday, yesterday and stayed way under calories for what I was allotted. Hoping for a whoosh soon. Did Elliptical 300 minutes for 22.3 miles in first session and 54 minutes for 4.2 miles for 26.5 miles total today. Hopefully that gets me heading downward again. (Did long times on Friday 228 minutes and Saturday 240 minutes too.)
    Current weight: 158.2 lbs (Lowest recent weight was 147.6 lbs on 4/6-7)

    May weight lost so far: -0.6 lbs

    Daily Goals:

    🌱Drink @ least 90 ounces of water
    🌱Plan meals and log in advance
    🌱Log honestly and consistently
    🌱Eat at or under my calorie goal
    🌱

    May 01- 158.8 lbs. :-( Can't believe this with all the Elliptical miles Friday, yesterday and stayed way under calories for what I was allotted. Hoping for a whoosh soon. Did Elliptical 300 minutes for 22.3 miles in first session and 54 minutes for 4.2 miles for 26.5 miles total today. Hopefully that gets me heading downward again. (Did long times on Friday 228 minutes and Saturday 240 minutes too.)

    Realized I forgot to post yesterday, so posting a 2fer. Had a woosh. Probably, as I thought, water retention from my trip, plane ride and not eating my normal and only casual walking for exercise, due to being away. My previous low, about a month ago was 147.6 lbs, so hopefully I'll get back to that soon.
    May 02- 155.8 lbs
    May 03- 151.6 lbs
    May 04 -149.8 lbs, Fluid retention, whoosh away!!!! “May the 4th be with you” 😄
    May 05-149.4 lbs. I will take every tenth!!!
    May 06-148 lbs Today was a work day so usually not a exercise day. But I actually got out on time at 5 pm(rare for a nurse to get out on time!), ran a quick errand, and decided to get on my elliptical with my son's encouragement. Did 121 minutes for 9 miles. Felt great afterwards and soooo glad I got a extra workout in this week!
    May 07-148 lbs. 301 minutes on the Elliptical for 19 miles, this AM. Today was a tougher session. Not sure why. I sort of wanted to quit earlier but persevered. I didn't hurt but was not feeling as energized as I usually do. I averaged out to 15.8 minute miles. My usual is 13 minutes to just over that. I hope I'm not coming down with something. I can sure use the calorie deficit, since tomorrow is Mother's Day and I'm having brunch at one of my son's house. I figure I will need them!
    May 08- 148 lbs. I actually stayed within my calories/carbs today. My 2 son's and the mil son's made a brunch for all the mom's in the merged family. It was very nice. Did 337 minutes (2 sessions) on my elliptical for 25 miles. Normally I would have pushed it to 26.2 miles but I didn't realize I was that close and it was 9 pm. I had wash to fold afterwards and I work tomorrow too.
    May 09-148 lbs
    May 10-148 lbs Lost my internet connection while I was on the Elliptical this AM. I use it to distract me from my usually long times. So I only did 121 minutes for 9 miles. Till I got it back, my motivation was lost for the day. :-(

    May 11-148 lbs
    May 12-153.4 lbs Not doing great :-(
    May 13-157.2 lbs :-(
    May 14-159.6 lbs :-(
    May 15-159.6 lbs. :-( Well a short lived whoosh! I know its mainly water weight. Ate more Carbs than I normally do the last 2 dinners. Glad I didn't hit the 160's! Elliptical today 130 minutes for 10 miles.
    May 16-158.2 lbs Go for a annual check up tomorrow. Dr hasn't seen me since approximately 5/10/21, post op Gallbladder surgery. So it will be a surprise for him. Down over 80 lbs since then! Would have been 90 + lbs without my recent uptick. :-(

    May 17-158.2 lbs Dr was ecstatic at my weight loss. He thinks my Low carb/calorie restriction, exercise way of eating is good for me. He thinks I must be very carb sensitive. He said I should get some weight lifting and some core work in, which I knew I should have started too.

    I received some good and not so good news. Not so good news, I have shrunk. Instead of 5'4" I'm now 5'2"! :-( I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with Osteopenia by a Dexa scan. He is ordering another one. So that is kind of good news. People say to get one to check body fat percentage so now I'll get one but because of the height loss, so sort of bad. Also the loss in height lowers my calorie TDEE. Ugh!

    The Dr does agree with my assessment/goal, that I have about 30 lbs more to lose. Didn't exercise today, as my usual, due to Dr appointment, then some errands and home with just enough time to cut my grass before sunset! (A rider, so very little exercise).

    So I'm wondering with my above post, about having to schedule a DEXA scan, how does it interpret loose skin? I'm thinking it will be considered fat. I can't find anything online. Does anyone know?

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from April 30th): 203.2
    Goal: xxxxx (Five lb Loss) 198.2

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************

    05/01…...204.6…..(Trend Weight 202.5)…..
    05/02.…..204.6…..(Trend Weight 202.7)….. 05/03.…..203.8…..(Trend Weight 202.8}…..

    05/06.…..203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. 05/07.…..201.0…..(Trend Weight 202.8)…..


    05/14.…..202.8…..(Trend Weight 202.8)….. About the same as yesterday. No TMI., 5 hours of sleep, but lots of steps yesterday and calorie burn due to working in the yard cleaning up 3 dead trees that I had cut down. Had to take lots of breathing breaks due to some heart issues. I hope the cardiologist can help on my first ever appointment June 1st.



    05/15……204.0…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. I just had breakfast and dinner last night. But dinner was pasta (Lasagna). Sugar free candy for snack. Very swollen from gnat bites that I’m allergic to. Fluid retention and swelling. Nothing is helping. Benedryl, lavender oil, lavender shower gel washing (from essential oil company young living), baking soda paste, ibuprofen, cold compresses, cold water soaking, lymphomic fluid massage, keeping arms and legs elevated. Prescription Steroid cream, Horrid! Some travel today for supplies again. Probably one meal out with my helper. I’ll stay away from pasta today!


    05/16……203.4…..(Trend Weight 203.0)….. A small amount of travel yesterday. About 75 miles each way so not too bad. We had lunch out and I chose breakfast foods to keep the carbs down. It was good that it wasn’t a late dinner like it commonly is when traveling. I had time to burn some of it off later in the day. It was a personal trying day later in the day but I got through it. Anyway, the travel was for a Cement bird bath with the top being like a sunflower. I’ve already seen one of my birdies on it and he was smiling. He then flew off to tell his family and friends. It was a tough day otherwise, until that birdie landed. It was like a soft kiss on a boo-boo. Today will be a glorious day! I can feel it!


    05/17.…..204.2…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. All day travel throughout Northern Michigan yesterday with a friend who had an appointment to look at a new (used) vehicle. Then lots of fun girl time and travel hitting car lots within a 200 mile vicinity. We think we found something after hours. Waiting for a return call today. Nice meal at a steak house. Snacks weren’t good.


    05/18.…..204.4…..(Trend Weight 203.2)….. Dinner out with one of my children last night. Late Mother’s Day dinner. Mexican. Today is my PC doctor appointment and glucose check. I know it won’t be good. I am beginning to suffer from severe Acid Reflux again. All the problems of obesity are returning. I know I have to get more serious and stay more consistent or more trouble is coming.

    May 04 184 lbs. Wednesday is my normal weigh in. I am thankful for no weight gain. I found April real distressing with the hills and valleys of my weight. My weekly trend weight went from 184.9 to 183.8. So that goal was accomplished. Now to focus on weight reduction.
    “May the 4th be with you” 😄

    May 10 183 lbs ⬇️
    May 11 183 lbs OK 1lb less in 11 days. My weekly trend weight from last Wednesday went from 183.8 to 183.4. So it is downward trend. Half a month have lots of discipline to do.

    May 18 183.5 lbs ⬇️ Wednesday more usually weigh in down half a pound since May 1st. My trending weight went up from 183.4 lbs to 184.3 lbs.

    May 01 - 165.8 (And we are off! Looking for this to be the month I entrench myself in the middle of my maintenance range and switch to that stage. Excited!)
    May 02 - 165.6 (Had a great day yesterday. Returned from the lake, picked up my resized rings, shopped for new work clothes that fit, had a nice supper with my husband and Mom and rode the Peloton for 90 minutes.)
    May 03 - 167 (Fun night riding the Peloton, walking my dog, and a bit of TV. Back in office today which makes me feel more crunched for time.)
    May 04 - 167.8 (Another busy work day but I got in a walk at lunch with my husband and had a Peloton ride after work. Making the new schedule work and still finding time to prioritize me.)
    May 05 - 169.4 (Shrimp dinner, a Peloton ride and some TV last night. Last day of in office work today for the week.. meeting my husband for lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. )
    May 06 - 170 (My husband has the flu or something like it so our weekend has started off on a quieter note. I have done the cooking the last two nights which isn't our usual routine. I took my dog for a nice walk tonight to enjoy some sun and I also retested on the Peloton during my lunch break and improved my FTP.)
    May 07 - 169 (Today I have a Zoom call with one of my groups on MFP. Also plan to take my first ride in my new zones which is always challenging.)
    May 08 - 167.6 (Taking my Mom out for a brunch today to celebrate her. The sun is out so I also hope to walk and bike. A bit of light house cleaning too! Enjoy the day all.)
    May 09 - 164.6 (Excess weight carried around during TOM has cleared as of this morning. I rode the Peloton last night and navigated the Mother's Day brunch very well. Today we woke up to snow but it's melted already. I will walk at lunch and then my evening activities will depend on my husband's plans.)
    May 10 - 164.4 (Wasn't firing on all cylinders today but I've ate on plan, drank my water, and gotten over 10,000 steps. I still want to ride the Peloton but we'll see if I time out before bed.)
    May 11 - 165.2 (I did get my Peloton ride in last night, and I had a much better day today. Off to enjoy a walk with my husband and my dog.)
    May 12 - 164.6 (Thursdays are a mini Friday of sorts because it's my last day of work in the office. I have a meetup with a friend at lunch I haven't seen since I started losing weight. So excited to catch up with her. My husband is still feeling better, so that's positive, and we have a virtual wine tasting event tonight that I'm looking forward to!)
    May 13 - 161.8 (Had a big wine night and drank way more than I intended to. Morning was a bit rough but I feel better now. Off to the lake now!)
    May 14 - 163.8 (Had time to sleep in today but still feel unrefreshed as I was up for the washroom multiple times last night. Good thing all I have to do today is laze around the lake :))
    May 15 - 164.6 (Epic day that started with a helicopter ride and ended with a 100 KM bike ride. I am exhausted but it was a great Sunday.)
    May 16 - 166 (Amazingly not sore even after that massive bike ride. Had to go into work downtown on my normal work from home day for a conference, but my husband who works at the same company was there too, so that was fun. Yummy chicken dish followed by a walk with my dog after supper.)
    May 17 - 167 (Finished up the two day work conference. It was a great time. Rode the Peloton for 60 minutes tonight. Didn't get out for an evening walk as my dog had already been walked with her sitter today and I ran out of time.)
    May 18 - 165.4 (After work today we took my husband's nephew from Ontario who was only out for a night to the mountains and back for a quick supper. Long day and I'll sleep well tonight!)
