    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 βš–οΈ
    Log 50 Fit Bit Miles Per Week πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
    Read 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) πŸ“–
    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 😁

    @39flavours How long have you been on this weight loss adventury. Did you start in January, or before? What is your ultimate goal? Where you are is where I hope to be someday, just wondered what your journey was.

    @BittersweetVita How is the couch to 5K going? What week are you on? I am trying, but my ankles and knees don't like it, so I have been kind of doing my own version. I do each week two to three times, powerwalking instead of running for some of the runs. I'm on week three. My ankles and knees still don't like it, so don't know if I'll ever get there. Was thinking about stopping until I get a little lighter and then try again, or just stick with total powerwalk. What do you think?

    Hiya, welllll.... I joined MFP in 2011 and have been off and on since then. When I first joined I was about 140lbs, trying to get down to 130lbs, I don't think I ever made it that time. In 2015 I went from 148lbs to 129lbs, which took me about 7 months, but I gained it all back pretty quickly. In 2018 I was up to around 168lbs and got down to 150ish but then fell off the rails. In July 2021 I had gained a lot during the pandemic and was up to 180lbs but I managed to lose over 40lbs, thanks greatly to participating in this challenge and a few others. Then regained 26lbs in about 10 months, which took me to this January, when I started yet again! So I'm a classic yoyo dieter I'm afraid, and this time it feels a lot harder to shift the weight but I'm doing my best to be more sensible, as last time I took my calories far too low (800!) and really messed up my metabolism, as well as losing a lot of muscle. So this time I'm not dropping below 1200 and making sure I prioritise maintaining muscle.

    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
    Goal: 187.6 (Five lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight:

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


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    I am losing but it seems sooooo slow. I lost 50 pounds last summer/fall and it seemed to go faster than this. I will have to look back at my weight log and compare to gain some perspective.
