April 17: 241.6 lbs 😃
April 24: 239.6 lbs 🤬😓😥😰🥲 I actually weigh myself everyday so on the last day of the month if I have lost additional weight I will make a note and include that in my loss for the month. Otherwise, I would think it would create a weird gap from April to May that isn’t accounted for —except for at the very end of the challenge. I suppose.

April was horrible and May has not went as well as I had hoped. I’m disappointed. I travel today for my 4 month dental cleanings for myself and son. We’ll have a late restaurant lunch and do some shopping while out of town. I’ll try to choose carefully. Tomorrow is an art gallery and concert at the high school my grandchildren attend. I’ll be spending the evening with them. So many foodie things this week!
05/16-193.6-(Trend Weight: 194.3)- The progress should have been much better but it was a foodie week. My Birthday, Mother’s Day and some general out-of-town travel. Hopefully this week will be better although I’m already on day 2 of travel.

So this weeks a gain. Some off it is expected due to fluctuations and TOM.
But some off it is just, my child had a birthday, my work treated us to pizza, friends invited us to barbecue and I have eaten some more than i should at every turn. But I am not going to sweat it. I am continuing my streak on logging and seeing what I am doing. Today is constitution day and rounds up the week of slip ups and I will start up a fresh and motivated tomorow knowing I have had plenty of easy mode this week.

Great attitude. I have been struggling with 5 lbs swings for over a year. Your insight keeps me motivated. Here to a better next week for the both of us.4 -
What a great idea for a challenge. I look forward to getting to know the MFP members in this challenge. I have been a member of MFP since November 17, 2016 but did not start to use it regularly until July 1, 2020. I had to look at my profile to refresh my memory. Wednesday's are my regular weigh-in. So I will start April 5th.

What is going on with your blood pressure since you have to monitor it. I hope it progresses the best way.1

What is going on with your blood pressure since you have to monitor it. I hope it progresses the best way.
Family history of heart problems including my younger siblings. I have white coat syndrome so primary care physician said to take blood pressure readings 3 times in the am once a week for 3 months. This will give me an accurate average and if I need to increase my prescription. Thanks for asking.5 -

I think I finally figured out how to reply to a specific post - I tried once or twice before but messed it up. I also hope that everything with your blood pressure works out and wanted to thank you for replying to a post of mine a while ago. I'm 58 and this year I have really noticed that my weight gain has affected my health with higher blood sugars and arthritic pain. I am hoping that losing a few pounds will make a difference. Best wishes to you and good luck on your weight journey.4 -

I've been slowing a bit down, as I felt really tired. So despite eating at almost maintenance calories, I still lost a little bit, which is really good. I'll be on holiday the coming time, so I won't check in next week. No logging, but extremely active, I don't expect any gains except maybe some water weight from the flights.
May 1: ON HOLIDAY !!
May 8: sick while on holiday - urgh!
May 15: 73 - So I've gained about 1 kg since before the holidays. I started to get sick halfway through (flu, covid, who knows), which means a lot less activities and then getting home I've been sick in bed for three more days. Activity is below zero as I am still very tired. Not feeling sick enough to stop eating though... But I know that weight loss happens in the kitchen and fitness happens at the gym, thus I have no excuse for not eating right.
May 22: 72,7 - I've been hovering around this weight for 2 months now and I'm getting really comfy around it. Which is good as I feel really good in my skin right now. My stamina is great and I feel in great shape. The big risk is that I will get complacent and that 72,7 will become 73,5 in no time, and then 74... I've been here before and my goal the coming weeks / months is to nip that in the bud and still lose a bit in order to keep my mindset in the right direction.

Well, I didn't lose, but I didn't gain either, so that's something! My clothes are fitting better, so I think I have been body recomping, as I have been weight training for a few months. I have upped my steps and included a morning walk into my routine, but have also been eating more calories, so it's giving me a good idea of what it's going to take to stay at maintenance. I really want to lose 10 more pounds, but I'm finding it hard to stay disciplined in the evenings.
