    @BittersweetVita MFP gives me a starting calorie goal of 1,260. I use all of that plus I try to only use 1/2 of the extra earned calories from exercise. I have been trying to make sure that I get 5 servings of freggies every day - spread them out throughout the day - a fruit with breakfast, another fruit and a veg with lunch and then a couple more veggies at dinner. Sometims the veggies are a double serving of the same. Also try to have a serving with protein with each meal. Lastly - have been trying to get 8 servings of water (this is my toughest challenge). My daughter got me this water pitcher for Mother's day that I keep in the fridge (the water has to be super cold for me to drink); and it has helped.

    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.

Looking forward to see what May brings!

    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

    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.

    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.

    27 - 194.8 😁
    28 - 194.2 😁
    29 - 194.8 :s What I expeceted. Had a really nice day, but disasterous on the diet front. The day started out wonderfully, went for our morning walk - planted the rest of the garden, had a simple breakfast and lunch - but then we sat in the front yard had a glass of wine played backgammon with the hubby. We texted my sister and asked if she wanted to come over play cards, have a cook out and they were free. My one glass of wine, turned into three and I overate at the cookout. Didn't drink the water! Logged all my food this morning, and with the walk and gardening was just slightly over my calorie limit. But the SODIUM - wowsie - 2 1/2 times my limit. It's no wonder I woke up in the middle of the night dying of thirst. Another cookout with the dear daughter today - but no booze. I'll be better today, but probably won't get my normal exercise in. Back on the wagon on Tuesday. Holidays a killer - fun by a killer.

    A few of you had inquired about the Hogwarts challenge - just an FYI the next one starts June 16th. I just completed my first term and it was really fun; and can honestly say that it was the biggest contributor to my success the last couple of months. If your a Harry Potter fan check it out.
    Friday, June 2nd - The application will be posted on the forums.
    Term 45 will be a 5-week term themed around the summer and a field trip - a long term visit to tour the Ministry of Magic! The term will run from Friday, June 16th (with full activities beginning on the Monday afterwards) through Sunday, July 23rd. Students will also have a few days into the term to submit their starting weigh-in.

    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.

    05/29-194.8-(Trend Weight 194.9)- Traveled yesterday to shop for the family BBQ today. That will make 2 days out of plan for me and it’s already showing up. As I celebrate the U.S. Memorial day holiday I would like to thank all the fallen heroes and their families as well as all who have served to protect freedoms and human rights.

    05/30-194.2-(Trend Weight 194.8)- I felt so bloated yesterday that I could hardly eat at the family BBQ (which explains no gain). Today my bloating has been relieved by TMI. I did not bring home any leftovers so today should be back to plan. I’m going to take a lazy day today. Lots of nothing. I’m just so exhausted lately. I definitely feel better in the 180’s than I do here in this hole I seem to be in.

    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.

    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!

    5/08: DNW - Early to and late from work.
    5/09: DNW - Early to and late from work.

    5/14: DNW
    5/15: 192.5
    5/16: DNW
    5/17: 190.2 - Not finding that work/home balance again and I've been coming down with something.
    5/18; DNW
    5/19: 189.3
    5/20: 190.3
    5/21: 190.3 I have kept up on C25K training but repeating weeks to prevent injury.

    5/25: 190.0 - I overate after a stressful work day and jumped on to see the damage.

    5/27: DNW
    5/28: DNW
    5/29: 192.5 - I am guessing sodium surge from tamales, but it would be great if this gain would be from muscle growth from my walks/runs. Lol!

It's no wonder I woke up in the middle of the night dying of thirst. Another cookout with the dear daughter today - but no booze. I'll be better today, but probably won't get my normal exercise in. Back on the wagon on Tuesday. Holidays a killer - fun by a killer.
    30 - 194.8 :|
    31 - 194.6

    May reflection - Another winner for me - down 5.4 pounds (my goal is a pound a week). Got into Onederland and kept it there. Like others, I get frustrated when the scale goes up or stays the same during the week, but need to look back and the overall picture. Don't know why the body reacts the way it does - days I expected to be up because of a high sodium day, I lost weight. Days I was way under my calorie limit, I gained. But the end result is what counts. I may end up just weighing weekly someday, so I don't see the daily flucuations, but will continue daily for now. I logged 218.3 miles on my fitbit, the most miles so far. I am at 932 miles to my 2,023 goal; tracker says I will get there on November 24. 😁 I have added strength training (and a little tai chi) to my exercise routine. Fnished planting the garden. I was on track with my knitting goal, but then I finished the sweater I had been working on for eons, and haven't started a new project so stopped. I started out well with the reading - but finished the book and haven't started another. I'll need to work on those and incorporating 6-8 glasses of water daily into my daily routine. Looking forward to seeing what June brings. I love the summer!

    These is our container gardens - Corn, peas, cumcumber, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs (parsley, basil, thyme, and rosemary). Also have brussell sprouts and broccolli in containers on the back deck (our neighborly groundhog loved them last year so put them on the deck so he can't get them). And potatoes and carrots not in the picture. The marigolds keep the bugs away.

    This is our traditional in the ground garden, potatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, squash, and more tomatoes.

    Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!
    My goal for May is to get moving! I am such a procrastinator when it comes to this and I set it as a goal every month and NEVER do it. The weather should cooperate now.

    Well, I barely made it through this month with my sanity intact. These anti-estrogen drugs are NO joke. I *think* I will be taking time off work in June and hope to really cut myself off from my job and refresh.
    My goals were to lose 4 or 5 pounds and I lost 4.4 pounds βœ…
    Grateful for that!
    My other goal was to walk 3 times a week, I did not achieve that but there’s always next month!
    Great month ladies! Everyone worked hard, no matter where you’re at, you’re showing up and you matter!

    I didn't make much progress from the 1st to the 31st in terms of scale weight, but my trend weight is down 1.8lbs, so that's something. My planking, walking, and strength training efforts have been pretty similar to last month and I've done much better at sticking to my calorie target, but still need to make big improvements there. I have pretty much abandoned my macro and fibre goals as I was finding it too restrictive, but I really need to focus on drinking more water and cutting back on alcohol.

    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: 194.8

    **************************************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.

    05/30-194.2-(Trend Weight 194.8)- I felt so bloated yesterday that I could hardly eat at the family BBQ (which explains no gain). Today my bloating has been relieved by TMI. I did not bring home any leftovers so today should be back to plan. I’m going to take a lazy day today. Lots of nothing. I’m just so exhausted lately. I definitely feel better in the 180’s than I do here in this hole I seem to be in.

    05/31-194.8-(Trend Weight 194.8)- This has certainly been a disappointing month for me. So many activities and celebrations which involved all the wrong foods! I gained 2.2 lbs. in May. Hopefully June will be better! Today I am traveling to a new movie theater much closer to my home than we usually have to go. It is 70-75 miles away each way and it is supposed to high-tech state-of-the-art. It boasts reclining seats, built-in food trays and high tech video and sound. I can’t wait to see The Little Mermaid today! I’m such a Disney nerd!
