    Can my goal not be just weight???
    My days ebb and flow w/work & stress.. My goal in May is just to get back to ME and create a plan that works

    AND NOT GAIN any more weight, if I can lose 1 lb this month & find a daily flow that works, I'll call it a win!

    weight.png

    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: 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)-
    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!

    05/17-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I am gaining weight a little more each day. I can see it on the scale when I step on, I see it in the mirror, I feel it in my clothes. It feels like dry forest with a huge wildfire burning out of control. Throwing buckets of water on it will never put it out. It’s going to take a more than that, a LOT more.

    05/24-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!

    I’m sure I won’t meet my May goal with only a little more than a week to go, but I am finally back on the right track. My test results from my physical were decent. The doctor is making some changes to my medications I’m not sure I agree with, but I’ll give it a shot. If I don’t like how I feel, I’ll go back… not a huge deal. I also have high cholesterol (hereditary), been on Crestor for awhile now, number is down by 100 but still a little high. He recommended exercise, of course. I’m working on it. Follow up in 6 months.

    Current goals:
    First, to lose enough weight to put my wedding ring back on by my anniversary at the end of July.

    Second, I have a follow up in 6 months with the doctor. My goal is to lose a minimum of 30 lbs by Nov 14. (It would be GREAT if I could be at my goal weight by then, but I’m going to give myself the grace I need.)

    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.

    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)
    June 1:

    Total loss for May: After some up and down, I'm about back where I started. 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 8.9 pounds for the year.

    Stick to it!



    This is the reason I like to weigh daily and ignore the number. Even if I just looked at the one-day numbers from last week and this week, it would look like I gained, but that would not tell the whole story. I'm still on a downward trend, and it's leveling off near my target/goal weight.

    Stick to it!
