    Won’t be making my WL goal for May. I admit there were a lot of distractions that I allowed to get in my way. Also a trip, and two birthdays. Removing sugary processed foods from my diet stating today! They are not good for me! 👿

    Hi, my Name is Rhonda.
    I did really well in Last month's challenge so I'm hoping to succeed this month in getting to Onederland again.
    HW: 256
    Got gastric sleeve in 2020.
    Lw after sleeve: 179
    Didn't take vitamins and got sick and gained back up to 216.
    Started April at 216 ended at 206.


    May Start Weight: 206
    May Goal Weight: 199
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 150

    May 1: 206
    May 8: 205
    May 15: 203 I held steady ALL week 205 and I was getting disheartened then BOOM 203. I skipped 204
    altogether
    May 22: 205
    May 29: 202.5
    May 31:203
    I'm really frustrated not to hit goal. I could tell week 5/22 I was holding water, and at one point I was 200.5 but I've just been holding steady at 202-205 the last few weeks. I'm still at 1400 calories and stay pretty consistent at that. I guess I'll figure it out. On to June.

    Is it possible to step back and instead of having frustration at not meeting a somewhat arbitrary goal and instead give yourself some congratulations for losing three pounds? That's almost a pound a week, and that's GREAT!

    If you weigh every day, and it looks like you might if you saw a much lower number one day, maybe you could use a spreadsheet to calculate a running average instead of paying ANY attention to the number on one given day. My mass goes up and down a whole lot. I went up two pounds in one day earlier this week, but it's been coming back down slowly since that day. My average weight only jumped up 0.4 pounds that day. Of course the average is still going up even though the scale is going down, but it really does help smooth out the normal fluctuations.

    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 18 146.0 (10-day average 146.4)
    May 25: 150.0 (10-day average 146.8)
    May 31: 149.2 (10-day average 148.6)

    Total loss for May: After some up and down, and after getting back where I started, the last week was not so good. I gained a pound and a half. I am back just above my ideal maintenance range, and I'm in the top half of my absolute range. Still in range, but time to get serious again. I am down 7.1 pounds for the year. That's more than a pound a month, so I'll be satisfied with that.

    Stick to it!

    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 Apr 30th, 2024 ): 185.6

    Goal Weight: 181.6 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: 181.8

    Weight lost/gained this month: 3.8 lbs Lost




    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)-

    05/12-185.4-(Trend Weight: 185.4)-

    05/19-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-

    05/26-184.6-(Trend Weight: 186.4)- I know I belong back in the 170’s. I don’t deserve the 160’s yet, but the 170’s is where my true home is (for now). I’ve just got to get back there! I’ve been feeling pretty lost since February, but I think I’m back on the right path now. Not the perfect path, but the right path. Today is the family BBQ. I don’t expect that the scale will be a friendly place tomorrow but I will work on it hard this week. I don’t expect I will meet my goal this month. Especially when it was my birthday month, Mother’s Day and now the Memorial weekend Holiday. But I do want to end up with the scale lower than when I started so that is my mini goal this week. Memorial weekend unofficially marks the beginning of summer in the USA. Let’s do Summer strong!

    05/31-181.8-(Trend Weight: 185.5)- I’ve worked really hard these past 11 days to turn things around and show a loss. I nearly made goal only missing it by .02 . Finally, a decent month. I really haven’t had one since February. Fingers crossed for June!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
