    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.

    May goals:
    ๐Ÿ’ฅWalk 3x/week
    ๐Ÿ’ฅLose 4 or 5 pounds

    OSW: 250
    OGW: 150
    5/1/23: 199.7
    5/31/23 goal: 195

    5/1: 199.7
    5/2: 199.7
    5/3: 199.7 ๐Ÿคจ
    5/4: 199.7
    5/5: 199.0
    5/6: 199.0
    5/7: 198.7 *walked*
    5/8: 197.8 (!)
    5/9: 197.8
    5/10: 197.8 *walked*
    5/11: 197.8
    5/12: 197.8
    5/13: 197.8
    5/14: 197.0 *walked*

    5/15: 197.0
    A new week. Iโ€™m very disappointed in myself that I have only intentionally walked 3 times this month when my goal was 3 times a week.

    5/16: 196.4
    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.

    5/17: 196.0
    Things seem to be moving again. I have actually been eating 100-200 calories over my goal the last few days so maybe that is helping. A foreign concept to me, eating more to lose more but Iโ€™ve heard it works. I looked in the past, I am losing at a substantially slower rate than I was last summer/fall but my body has been through a lot since then. I need to give myself some grace but itโ€™s so hard.

    5/18: 197.8
    Yikes! I ate out yesterday which I rarely do and this is why. It will come back off though.

    5/19: 199.0 *walked*
    Well, this is depressing. Hopefully just a small bump from eating out and stress but I donโ€™t like being so close back to the โ€œ2.โ€

    5/20: 197.8
    Iโ€™m having a lot of side effects from the estrogen blocker I have to take, including no TMI! Iโ€™m quite uncomfortable. Iโ€™m seeing the doctor next week about the pill and all of these nasty side effects. My lymphedema is acting up and causing me to retain fluid. BUT I have a lovely 2 days off ahead of me and plan to get some walking, art therapy and meal prepping in. Rain stay away!

    5/21: 197.0
    Iโ€™m hoping I can reach my goal of 195 this month. Today will be hard to track as we are celebrating Motherโ€™s Day today instead of last week. I am making quiche Lorraine and fruit salad and mimosas for brunch and baked ziti and salad for dinner. Chocolate cream cake for dessert. I have to keep my portions small (minuscule lol) and fill up on salad and fruit.
    All of you ladies continue to inspire me with your goals, be it weight loss, exercise, fiber or knitting ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    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!

    1 - 200.2 - Very close to Onederland - hoping to get there this week! ๐Ÿคž
    2 - 199.8 - ๐Ÿ˜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 - ๐Ÿ˜ Woo Hoo! Don't know how that happend, but I'll take it.
    8 - 199.4 - :s
    9 - 198.6 - ๐Ÿ˜
    10 - 197.2 - ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ 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 ๐Ÿ˜
    15 - 196.4 ๐Ÿ˜
    16 - 196.4 ๐Ÿ˜
    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 a๐Ÿ˜. 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.

    15 - 237.4 lbs

    16 - 235.0 lbs (LOWEST WEIGHT I HAVE BEEN IN ABOUT 5+ YEARS) ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿฅฐ. I am working to get myself back on track and not let my emotional and mental state hinder me, but use my efforts to lose weight to support my mental & emotional state. It is the one thing I can control in my life & damnit Iโ€™m taking the reigns! I have been working out more though at home doing some grueling circuit training to work through some aggression and use that energy in a positive, body transforming way. Iโ€™ve added some new supplements to my repertoire and time will tell if they are effective. I did extensive research on science backed research study results to see which ones showed marked improvements in studies that seemed to be setup in a fairly solid way.

    17 - 235.0 lbs Worked out yesterday after doing a fairly grueling workout the day prior because I just canโ€™t help myself. It really didnโ€™t work out as planned and I ended up cutting some of the sets I planned on doing because I quickly realized that, yup, a rest day would have been better advised. I ate late compared to usual due to social cues from my husband accompanying us getting along and experiencing joy from each otherโ€™s company versus his initiating arguments as he had been doing for the past week โ€”which was just exhausting. Weโ€™ve been having some fairly deep conversations and I feel like we are reconnecting. I am hopeful! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜…

    18 - 235.8 lbs ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜จ Here we go with the creep. I am coming to understand my weight loss trend and I am starting to not get so alarmed when it occurs. It was very off-putting at first because it was like what.the.BLEEP is happening!?! I have/had to stop feeling defeated when it occurs and then I would emotionally eat like screw it ๐Ÿ˜‘ I am already screwed I might as well seal the deal and make it real! I know that just made it worse, but I stopped beating myself up about it and actually DIDNโ€™T emotionally eat this time! I have been so busy otherwise preparing to move our family out of this extended stay hotel we have been at for YEARS then finally got on a waitlist for a 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment we found suitable that would allow us to stay in the area that we have grown to love and though our youngest son will be going to a different middle school starting over since his friends from his elementary school are going to a different middle school our oldest gets to remain at the same high school and keep all his friends. He is on the football team there and he says itโ€™s the best school experience heโ€™s had so far so we are glad that isnโ€™t changing! I am recovering from some brutal back-to-back workouts Iโ€™ve been doing this week.

    19 - 236.4 lbs ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซข๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿซ . So it is still creeping, but Iโ€™m not going to let it panic me. What helped me is really examining my weight loss line graph and reviewing the trend of going up and down in like a set # of days to hit a low, then increase for a set number of days, then a dramatic drop taking the graph lower than itโ€™s been then back up for a set of days, repeat, etc. I yet again just stuck straight to my healthy choices, avoided the emotional downward tumble in a bag or two of Reeseโ€™s to โ€œcomfortโ€ and feel pity for myself, and kept it moving. Spent that energy focusing on making sure things were straight with our move, getting our change of address done, planning out the furnishing and decorating of the rooms, scouring my beloved free stuff sites and apps trying to see what treasures I can Re-purpose from someone elseโ€™s trash and expressing gratitude for such an opportunity to get myself right on that path to homeownership after MULTIPLE tumbles now that I realize I will not be blessed with that opportunity until I keep developing myself into that role so I can successfully use my VA Certificate of Eligibility to put my family and I FINALLY in our forever home that we can remain in because we have a healthy relationship and no longer treat it like itโ€™s the devil and can actually hold on to it instead of fearing itโ€™s presence as an malevolent spirit meant to seduce me from God. Plus I am diagnosed as Bipolar so that just adds more opportunities for me to work on creatively to not fall into the trap that Bipolar folks can tend to have with spending and such! I have been spending a lot of growing amounts of time developing my relationship with God instead of calling for his divine guidance and assistance when in dire need leaving me recently feeling guilty because He always answers my prayers when I call on Him, then lose His number almost unintentionally once things return to โ€œnormalโ€. I have experienced a lot more of an improved and fulfilling existence being intentionally devoted as best as I can (knowing it will only get better the more committed I remain) to improving this relationship. Iโ€™ve seen it carry over into even my weight loss over time because I feel more worthy deep down โ€”which seems to almost by default restrain me with stronger will power from engaging in unhealthy eating & fitness habits so that I am more motivated to do the right things for the intention of rediscovering my healthier self who wants to live & do so in the best version of herself who constantly develops & grows! I am grateful for this & yโ€™all!!!

    20 - 235.8 lbs And here we go on the downturn of my weight spike! Maybe I am getting a handle on how my weight trends and I acknowledge myself for maintaining making healthy choices for the most part and not totally succumbing to emotional eating. I resisted attempts from social input to break my fast and bc I ate so late last night that meant I had to adjust my fasting schedule to accommodate that shift and to get my fasting start time back on schedule I plan on eating 2 meals today during my eating window and end that window to start my fast back on schedule! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ 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!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™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 itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    05/20-194.8-(Trend Weight 194.7)- Tonight is a lasagna dinner with my DD, SIL, DS and DGS. I expect there will be a temporary bump up tomorrow. Itโ€™s always nice to share dinner with family though. Rainy and gloomy today otherwise. Iโ€™m going to try to hit the stationary bike for a bit today (if my grandson allows me the time!) and maybe a dance session tonight to help work off the pasta.


    05/21-196.4-(Trend Weight 195.0)- Ugh. Dinner was nice though. Freezing the leftovers in portion controlled sections. Iโ€™ve had many challenges lately including an emergency room visit and illness, my birthday week and Motherโ€™s Day celebrations. But my main problem has been depression and just simply not putting the work in. It doesnโ€™t happen all by itself. Iโ€™ve got to pull myself together.

    5/21: 190.3 I have kept up on my C25k Training by repeating Week 1 several times. I have made the mistake of pushing my body too hard when I start and injuring myself (partially torn hamstring, plantar fasciitis), so despite the slow progress, I have not hurt myself yet!

    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 โš–๏ธ
    Log 50 Fit Bit Miles Per Week ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    Read 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) ๐Ÿ“–
    Knit 1/2 Hour each Day (at least 5 days/week) ๐Ÿงถ

    ๐ŸŒปMay ๐ŸŒป

    1 - 200.2 - Very close to Onederland - hoping to get there this week! ๐Ÿคž
    2 - 199.8 - ๐Ÿ˜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 - ๐Ÿ˜ Woo Hoo! Don't know how that happend, but I'll take it.
    8 - 199.4 - :s
    9 - 198.6 - ๐Ÿ˜
    10 - 197.2 - ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ 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 ๐Ÿ˜
    15 - 196.4 ๐Ÿ˜
    16 - 196.4 ๐Ÿ˜
    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 a๐Ÿ˜. 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.
