❤️⭐️2024 Weekly Weigh-in Challenge⭐️❤️

Sweetzyd

Hey, I'm Crystal! ❤️ Goal for May is to be in the low 160's or lower by the 31st. Still watching macros (1260 calories/day, low sugar around 100 carbs or less). Also continuing the increase of protein and to walk most days!

5'4
SW: 198 lbs (Oct. 2023)
GW: 140-145 (By June, 2024)
Feb 1st SW: 184.5
March 1st SW: 176.8
April 1st SW: 178.1
May 1st: 170.2

Feb 1st: 184.5
Feb 7th: 183.6
Feb 14th: 182.1 (weight was 181.4 yesterday). I expected a little increase, as some ladies and I had a Gallentines party last night with all sorts of goodies and champagne 🍾
Feb 21st: 180.6 yayyy! Still loving OMAD. I think this number could have been better because I didn't put all the work in I should have. I only walked 2 times this week. Also, my sleep has been awful. If I can do better about those things then I know the loss will be better. Still satisfied though.
Feb 28th: 177.2 had a couple of very low calorie days the past week due to sickness but all is better now! Didn't get as many walks in as I planned, but I'm happy to see a good loss! (7.3 lbs lost total in February)
March 6th: 176.6 I could have done better this past week. Looking back at the week, there were a lot of social outings. Had a bunch of junk that I didn’t need. (Pizza, fries, candy, burger etc). I know these things are ok sometimes but when it's several days in a row, it doesn't do me any good. Didn't stick with Omad the whole week either, or my calorie/carb goals. The plan for this next week is to stay on track with my goals and omad.
March 13th: 176.1 I did have a better week this past week, so I was hoping for more of a loss. The only thing I can figure is that it could be that I'm not sleeping well. Only got decent sleep maybe half of the days. At least it's not a gain. Just a little discouraged.
March 20th: 175.5 Sloww loss for sure. I've changed some things since last week. Added more protein in my diet and getting more steps in. Hopefully this will help.
March 27th: 173.1 Thank goodness for more of a loss this week. I was starting to wonder if I was going to lose anymore. I added more protein in and am aiming to walk most days. I stopped OMAD too because I dont think I was eating enough protein with the 1 meal. I'm having a protein shake and a cucumber for lunch. Still fasting, but doing 16:8 and 2 meals/day. Doesn't look like I'll meet my goal of the 160's by the end of the month but hopefully soon.
April 3rd: 174.8 I was traveling this past weekend and I had a 5lb gain from not tracking, eating all the foods I normally do not and several alcoholic beverages. Most of it has came back off thankfully but it's still upsetting that it set me a week behind. Next week will be better.
April 10th: 172.0 Aiming for no cheat days in April, and at least 20 minutes of exercise each day. So far, so good 😀.
April 17th: 170.2 I'm super excited about the loss but this really is almost overnight. I have been doing really well the past this whole month with no cheat days and haven't missed a day of exercise. The past 2 days I have barely had an appetite so my eating calories were really low. Might have a little gain but I'm hoping not!
April 24th: 169.3 So happy to see the 160's 😀. Still keeping up with my goals each day. I feel like the loss was a little slow this week but it's still a loss. Today is my youngest boy's 6th birthday. We will celebrate Saturday and there will be pizza and cake. These kinds of things do make me nervous because I know it can set me back for days but I plan to still keep up with my calorie goals.

May 1st: 170.2 😒 A mixture of things within the last week caused the gain- little sleep, eating out, cake etc.. I met my goals each day though in April and didn't miss a day of exercise, so I'm proud of that.
May 8th: 166.9 😀 It's nice to pull out clothes that were too tight last year. I tried on the only bathing suit that I kept from last year and it was too big. Ordered me a new one and I love the way it fits. I'm now at a 31 lb loss since last October. Pushing through and keeping up with my goals each day!
May 15th: 166.9 Got down a little lower several days ago. Lots of days with out to eat and fast food. Busy time of the year for us, which makes it harder for me to plan good meals. Still kept in my calories most of the week.

I'll weigh in on Saturdays to be on the same day as my other challenges (and the last day of the month).

Jan 1: 163.8 Happy New Year!
Jan 6: 162.8 😁
Jan 13: 162 😁
Jan 20: 161 😁
Jan 27: 162.2 ☹️ Not the right direction
Jan 30: 159.8 😁 Will be traveling January 31, so will not have access to a scale - so this is my official end of month weight.

Total weight lost in January: 4.2 Pounds

Feb 3: 160.6 Not as bad as I expected. Have been traveling and eating out every day since Jan 31.
Feb 12: 159.8 😁 I am so happy with this - been on vacation since Jan 31 - got back yesterday and today weigh the same as I did when I left. Now to focus and lose some weight in February!
Feb 18: 158.8 😁 Forgot to post on Saturday - but I was one more down!
Feb 29: 156.8 😁 Nice way to end the month

Total Weight Lost in February: 3 Pounds

Mar 2: 156.8
Mar 9: 154.8 😁
Mar 16: 154.2 😁
Mar 23: 153.4 😁 I am really liking this weekly weigh in, I flucuate so much daily and forget that it is actually a trend downward week to week.
Mar 30: 152.6 😁

Total Weight Lost in March: 4 Pounds

Apr 6: 153 ☹️ My first up in a long time. Had a self sabatoge day yesterday - and expected this. Will have a tough week ahead (which probably caused my self sabatoge) with Easter tomorrow and then going on a small trip for two days.
April 13: 151.6 😁 Worked super hard this week to get back to where I was!
April 20: 150.6 😁Working hard in the garden uses a LOT of calories.
April 28: 152 ☹️ Sad to see - but had trouble with my scale - bit the dust. The new one says a lot heavier than I would like to see - but it is what it is. First day with the new scale was 152.4 - so a little progress since then. Hoping at least to see a loss in April and looking forward to starting a fresh new month in May (two more days to leave April behind me!).
April 30: 151.6

Total Weight Lost in April 1 Pound

May 6: 150.2 😁 Got below my old scale weight. Went to the doctor this week. She was very happy with me. The new scale was right. I've probably been understating for a while.
May 11: 150 😁 A little less than last week. I did see the 140 range this week, but just for split second.
May 18: 150.6 ☹️ It has been a tough week. On Monday I threw out my knee - couldn't walk. Went to the doctor on Tuesday - xrays showed arthritis in both knees but that wouldn't be why I couldn't put any pressure on my leg. Dr. referred me for an MRI - which isn't scheduled until this Thursday - (a week and a half later), was concerend that it might be a meniscus tear . In the meantime - it is getting a little better, I can walk without crutches - probably just a sprain or something. Mostly seated exercises for now - did get in a short slow walk yesterday. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend. I'm thinking that my exercise tracker over estimates how many calories I burn in my seated workouts. With that in mind, yesterday adjusted how I am tracking - will not count ANY calories burned from exercise towards my calorie goal (I usually allow some (not all) - it's a complicated calculation that I won't bore you with). I would really like to see the 140s again by next week!

My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!) Start Weight (from April 30th, 2024 ): 185.6
Goal Weight: 181.6 (4 pound loss)

End of Month Final Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this Month: xxxxx





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.


05/01-185.6-(Trend Weight: 182.3)-


05/06-185.2-(Trend Weight: 183.4)-

05/13-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- There is no way I am weighing after my birthday on Friday and Mother’s Day on Sunday, both heavily celebrated. I need a day or two for the bloating to subside so I can see the real damage!

05/20-188.2-(Trend Weight: 186.5)- I took a wrong turn about two months ago and have been lost since. Time to use the compass (all my tools) and get back on track. I’m pretty disgusted right now.


05/27-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-

05/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


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

Donna, stop beating yourself up! You're here every day, you're paying attention and you've been super successful! Plus you had issues with your foot which definitely took some energy, as well as the construction, graduation etc!!! You are inspiring to me in your consistency and your success, and I have no doubt you'll start heading in the right direction again

Hi everyone, I've really slacked off and have regained several pounds over a period of several weeks. I'm jumping back in right now so I can get back on track. I hope to be within goal range of 135-140 lbs. by my 66th birthday, August 18, 2024, which is 12 weeks from tomorrow. If I don't manage that, it's okay, as long as I can get down to the lower 140's; then it will be another 5 weeks until the first day of fall. I will be posting my progress every Sunday. For tomorrow, May 26th, I will be honest and post my scale stats including my weight, no matter how much I've regained.

I am looking forward with hope and dedication to the weeks ahead!

Best wishes to all on this Memorial Day weekend!

Cannot believe May is in the rearview mirror! I've managed to maintain for a full month, which is a great success for me. I considered switching my weigh-ins to Friday (pre-weekend) but am going to stick to Monday- it helps me remain aware of my weekend choices. Here's to a successful June, everyone!
