    Weight in pink makes me feel happy because it's a loss. Weight in blue makes me feel sad because it's a gain. Weight in gray is either my starting point, or it means nothing has changed.

    May Goal Weight:170lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight:150 (for this year)

    I was so discouraged about the past 5 weeks weight gain, that I sat down with my husband to develop a reward system for my weight loss:

    1. I get $10 for scrapbooking supplies if I have a weekly weight loss.
    2. I get $10 for every 2 items of too-big clothes I purge from my closet, so I can buy new clothes. (I have A LOT of clothes.)
    3. If I lose 6+ lbs I earn a mani/pedi.

    The last one should take 3-4 weeks to achieve if I’m doing it healthily which puts me back on my old mani/pedi schedule. I haven’t been able to get them because I wasn’t working, but now that I’m going back to work we can afford them.

    Anyway, I felt completely defeated, but I’m going to keep trying. Maybe this will help get back on track.

    Quick question for all of you guys.. Not really related, but, what is up with the little Lady Meringues from Costco? I ate one this morning and tried to log it and the default serving size was eight of them. I always thought they were too sweet to have more, but is it actually okay to have eight?

    May 11: 146.7 lbs (hopefully, not all of my recent weight gain to 149 lbs was "actual weight" yet; some of it may have just been food and water). I am updating my May goal weight to 145 lbs.

    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)
    May 18:
    May 25:
    June 1:

    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!

    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!
