    Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January. I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. I started a few challenges last month to see which ones I liked, this is one that kept me accountable so I am back! Looking forward to see what May brings!

    Start Weight: 227
    Goal Weight: 160

    January weight Lost: 9 Pounds
    February weight Lost: 5 Pounds
    March weight Lost: 5 Pounds
    April weight Lost: 8 Pounds

    My goals for May:
    Lose 4 Pounds ⚖️
    Log 50 Fit Bit Miles Per Week 🏃‍♂️
    Read 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) 📖
    Knit 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) 🧶

    🌻May 🌻

    1 - 200.2 - Very close to Onederland - hoping to get there this week! 🤞
    2 - 199.8 - 😁Made it! Now to keep it there!
    3 - 200.0 - :s
    4 - 200.0 :s
    5 - 199.6 - :) Well let's try this again!
    6 - 199.6 :|
    7 - 199 - 😁 Woo Hoo! Don't know how that happend, but I'll take it.
    8 - 199.4 - :s
    9 - 198.6 - 😁
    10 - 197.2 - 😁😁 That one deserves a double Woo Hoo! Probably be up tomorrow! LOL
    11 - 198.2 - :s Called it! But I still like the May trend. Have a couple of challenging days ahead. My daughter is coming over tomorrow night. We are celebrating her birthday and Mother's day. She is spending then night, and then we all will go to my Mom's to take her out for breakfast for Mother's day. Hoping to make some good choices.
    12 - 197.6 :| Thinking that scale was wrong on Wed; but getting back there.
    13 - 197.8 :s What I expected. Went out with the family last night for dinner. Didn't really think I overdid it, tried to estimate the calories for MFP, and was under calorie range, but think that it was probably salty. Have breakfast with Mom this morning, then I hope to eat light the rest of the day, and get in my excercise, walk Monty. Hoping it's down tomorrow.
    14 - 196.6 😁
    15 - 196.4 😁
    16 - 196.4 😐
    17 - 196.6 :s
    18 - 196.8 :| Although I am up today, I'm giving it a neutral face as I expected it. Was out last night with my sister and her husband. We are on a trivia team and get together every other week for dinner and trivia. We aren't very good, but have a wonderful time. I was mindful of what I ate during the day, and made wise choices. Still stayed within my total calorie range, but I notice that if I use all the calories gain from exercise I tend to go up for a day or two. My normal goal is to use only half of them. I am also giving myself a😁. I organized my walk in closet yesterday. I tried on a few things that I haven't been able to wear for a few years and low and behold some fit.
    19 - 196.8 :s
    20 - 197 :s
    21 - 196.8 :|
    22 - 196.2 😁

    I’m grateful for every little bit lost since all the little bits add up. My brother actually told me I looked like I had lost weight this weekend which was odd as I had seen him just one week before and I think there was only about a one pound difference. My clothes are all looser but I took my measurements and they have barely changed, maybe by under 1/4”. Someone please explain that! 🤨

    @joans1976 We've all heard that men have "selective hearing" but there is another little-known condition they also suffer from - "selective sight". He just noticed!!!!! Better late than never, right? LOL

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    My mini-challenge is to lose 6 pounds between My birthday and July 4th. My birthday morning weigh-in (May 10th) was 195.1. I hope to be at 189.1 by the morning of July 4th, 2023.

    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): 192.6

I don’t have the energy to exercise, or plan, or research or do any of those things I normally do. I’ve really got to pull this together.

    Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January. I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. I started a few challenges last month to see which ones I liked, this is one that kept me accountable so I am back! Looking forward to see what May brings!

    Start Weight: 227
    Goal Weight: 160

    January weight Lost: 9 Pounds
    February weight Lost: 5 Pounds
    March weight Lost: 5 Pounds
    April weight Lost: 8 Pounds

    My goals for May:
    Lose 4 Pounds ⚖️
    Log 50 Fit Bit Miles Per Week 🏃‍♂️
    Read 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) 📖
    Knit 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) 🧶

    🌻May 🌻

    1 - 200.2 - Very close to Onederland - hoping to get there this week! 🤞
    2 - 199.8 - 😁Made it! Now to keep it there!
    3 - 200.0 - :s
    4 - 200.0 :s
    5 - 199.6 - :) Well let's try this again!
    6 - 199.6 :|
    7 - 199 - 😁 Woo Hoo! Don't know how that happend, but I'll take it.
    8 - 199.4 - :s
    9 - 198.6 - 😁
    10 - 197.2 - 😁😁 That one deserves a double Woo Hoo! Probably be up tomorrow! LOL
    11 - 198.2 - :s Called it! But I still like the May trend. Have a couple of challenging days ahead. My daughter is coming over tomorrow night. We are celebrating her birthday and Mother's day. She is spending then night, and then we all will go to my Mom's to take her out for breakfast for Mother's day. Hoping to make some good choices.
    12 - 197.6 :| Thinking that scale was wrong on Wed; but getting back there.
    13 - 197.8 :s What I expected. Went out with the family last night for dinner. Didn't really think I overdid it, tried to estimate the calories for MFP, and was under calorie range, but think that it was probably salty. Have breakfast with Mom this morning, then I hope to eat light the rest of the day, and get in my excercise, walk Monty. Hoping it's down tomorrow.
    14 - 196.6 😁
    15 - 196.4 😁
    16 - 196.4 😐
    17 - 196.6 :s
    18 - 196.8 :| Although I am up today, I'm giving it a neutral face as I expected it. Was out last night with my sister and her husband. We are on a trivia team and get together every other week for dinner and trivia. We aren't very good, but have a wonderful time. I was mindful of what I ate during the day, and made wise choices. Still stayed within my total calorie range, but I notice that if I use all the calories gain from exercise I tend to go up for a day or two. My normal goal is to use only half of them. I am also giving myself a😁. I organized my walk in closet yesterday. I tried on a few things that I haven't been able to wear for a few years and low and behold some fit.
    19 - 196.8 :s
    20 - 197 :s
    21 - 196.8 :|
    22 - 196.2 😁
    23 - 195 😁
    24 - 195 :|

    Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!

    A new week….Mondays are killer at work. At least I was able to get some self care in over the weekend and the weather is beautiful here!
    Have a great Monday ladies!

    5/23: 196.4
    I’m grateful for every little bit lost since all the little bits add up. My brother actually told me I looked like I had lost weight this weekend which was odd as I had seen him just one week before and I think there was only about a one pound difference. My clothes are all looser but I took my measurements and they have barely changed, maybe by under 1/4”. Someone please explain that! 🤨

    5/24: 197.8 ☹️ x a million
    I give up

    @joans1976 Don't give up. Take a break for a couple days and reflect on how far you have come - 50+ pounds . Don't miss sight of that. The up is probably water weight. I know that the daily flucuations can be pretty frustrating sometimes; and if they are doing more harm than good maybe switch to a weekly weigh in? With that day being the one that you are usually at your lowest? You can do it. Hugs to you.ql8xcabwagpz.gif

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    My mini-challenge is to lose 6 pounds between My birthday and July 4th. My birthday morning weigh-in (May 10th) was 195.1. I hope to be at 189.1 by the morning of July 4th, 2023.

    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

    05/23-197.0-(Trend Weight 195.5)- I’ve really put some thought into this and decided it is a cross between laziness and depression. I just don’t feel like meal planning or cooking. I have a grab ‘n go mentality right now. When my depression sets in I really have a hard time following through with anything. No focus. Feet dragging the ground. A bit listless. I don’t have the energy to exercise, or plan, or research or do any of those things I normally do. I’ve really got to pull this together.

    05/24-196.8-(Trend Weight 195.6)- A small drop on the scale but a continual increase in trend weight. I must do better! Yesterday was a wild day. I took my elderly friend for a very slow walk with her poodle to a hiking trail. We were only about 3 minutes in when she said her legs were feeling very tired and weak so we turned back around. Before we could clear the woods (we could even see the cars through the leaves) she said she had to sit down and tried to sit down on a big log. She then got stuck not able to quite sit down and not strong enough to stand again. I tried like hell to get her standing all the way to no avail. A man and his son came along on their bikes and I asked for help. They tried too. We could get her up standing, but then her legs would collapse again. They were just too weak. I had to call an ambulance for a lift assist to my car. I drove her back home. After resting for a bit during the 2 minutes ride, she was able to get out with the assistance of her walker which she had left at home but isn’t really using yet (she picked it up at a resale shop for the future). I got her in the house, rested her, then we went on her front porch with coffee and water for a couple of hours. I got her a small snack. Poor girl was embarrassed, frustrated and upset for a bit. She is 78 now but she has lost a lot of muscle mass from lack of activity. She does sit around too much although she used to be my walking partner and did a lot of walking and gardening in her day. She does very little these days and it’s really hurt her overall agility. I take her to a lot of her dr appointments and they all keep telling her to walk, to exercise, to move move move but she has just given a lot of it up. It was a great lesson for me since I am only 2 years into my own retirement. I’ve got to keep moving! She will have to start small (and use her walker) and slowly build back up or she will end up in a wheelchair. It’s sad to see the deterioration and aging of a dear friend of over 25 years.

    The past few months have been emotionally and physically draining, but I'm not giving up. May is a new month and "may" it bring us all health and happiness!

    I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism.

    Starting weight:
    January-189.4
    February-187.3
    March-192.1
    April-194.6
    May-189.3

    May Goals:
    🌷1. Log food everyday
    🌷2. Take thyroid med everyday
    🌷3. Increase water intake
    🌷4. Stretch daily
    🌷5. C25K training 5x week
    🌷6. Weight training 4x week

    5/01: 189.3 - Hit goals 1-5.
    5/02: 188.1 - Hit goals 1-4.
    5/03: 187.8 - Hit goals1-5. Logging instead of guesstimating is making a big difference.
    5/04: 188.1 - Hubby's meal tonight was waaaay salty. Expecting a bump tomorrow.
    5/05: 190.0 - Sodium bump.
    5/06: DNW - Hit goals 1-5. It was exciting to feel the improvement in my body during C25K training!
