    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018): 168.2
    January 1, 2024 Weight: 155.4 (10-day average 155.8)
    April 27 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 147.4 (10-day average 146.9)
    May goal: Get back to lower end of maintenance weight range
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    April 27: 147.4 (10-day average 146.9)
    May 4: 146.8 (10-day average 147.4)
    May 11: 146.6 (10-day average 147.4)

    Total loss for May: Pretty much unchanged from last week - looks like I gained a half pound. At least I am in my ideal maintenance range, although I'm still very close to the top of it. I'm right about in the middle of my absolute range, so I guess I'll take that as a win. I am down 8.3 pounds for the year.

    Stick to it!

    My name is Donna. I am 63 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 Apr 30th, 2024 ): 185.6

    Goal Weight: 181.6 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight 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.


    05/01-185.4-(Trend Weight: 182.3)-

    05/05-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- My 64th birthday on the 10th! The college graduation ceremony for my oldest daughter Bethany (almost 41 yrs old) was so inspiring. Afterward we had a dinner at her favorite Mexican restaurant in the college town. On the way home I stopped at a casino we passed by to let my (autistic) son have that experience. He really loved it and even though we both lost money during the 5 hours there but he did better than me and lost less. Here are a few pics so you know who we are when I talk about my family.

    05/12-185.4-(Trend Weight: 185.4)- We are driving out to a restaurant on Lake Huron today which is a bit of a drive. The water should be lovely because of our beautiful blue skies today and the Mother’s Day Buffet will be delish. I expect the scale will go up tomorrow but I can handle it. I’m going to wear sandals that I can remove and walk along the water’s edge. I have a house full of fresh flowers thanks to the kids. I feel so grateful and appreciated! Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

    Well, yesterday the scale said 196.4 (even had a picture to show the dr at my physical), but this morning it said 197. So, whatever. Still a loss. Still earned my first $10 for scrapbooking supplies!

    I would like to fit into the beautiful clothes I have instead of wearing the one pair of extra large, raggedy, stained pants I fit into right now. I really need to eat more fruits and vegetables. My go to food has been cheese, potatoes, bread, did I

    June 1:

    Total loss for May: It looks like I finally started to lose again - about a pound so far for May. This could all change over the next five or six days because of some plans. Those plans are why I'm posting a day early this week. I am still in my ideal maintenance range, and while I'm moving down, it's still towards the top. I'm almost exactly in the middle of my absolute range, and that's a win. I am down 9.2 pounds for the year.

    Stick to it!
