Getting back on track after a long trip, had one restaurant meal out this week, but still feeling like it's going well. I didn't do so much exercise this week, I could do to increase it a bit next week.

Hi, My name’s Darin and I live in Holly Springs NC with my husband and two cats. I have a mini-family reunion in July which is part-pool party, so I want to feel a bit better about myself by then. I think 10 pounds down would be super! I’m going to weigh in on Wednesdays.

Thank you, @RubyRed427 !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired, however...we watch our Grandsons during the week. Collin is 18 months and is our Morning Duty. Ronan is in 2nd Grade and is our Afternoon Duty.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out. The boys can be exhausting...

CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 12 pounds to land at 173.6
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM Apr 30th): 185.6
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:



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


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)- I watched “Hack your Health The secrets of your gut” on Netflix last night. It was very interesting and did explain some things that I didn’t know. I’m glad I watched it. This round I hope to lose about 4 pounds per month for a total of 12 pounds for the challenge. Good luck to everyone this round. I’m cheering you all on and I believe in each and every one of you! You can do it!

05/07-185.2-(Trend Weight: 183.8)- My 64th birthday coming up on the 10th!

05/14-186.4-(Trend Weight: 185.6)-

05/21-188.2-(Trend Weight: 186.7)-

05/28-187.2-(Trend Weight: 186.4)- This has been a month filled with celebration. My birthday, Mother’s day and now Memorial Weekend BBQ with family. A one pound drop this week hardly makes up for all of it. Hopefully I can stay on track and reverse some of the damage. Time to buckle down! I would love to at least end the month less than I started but that would mean another 1.6 pound loss in 3 days and I don’t know that I can do that when I’ve already managed to lose one pound this week. I’ll give it my best college try!

I went to Pilates tonight. I really loved it - one hour went fast. I stretched and felt it in my legs and abs. I will do that again!!

Hi!! My name is Karen. I am 65 years old, 5' 0" tall, and a retiree living in Oregon. My goal weight is 115-120.

This week’s plan is addressing my overeating. Since vacation, I’ve been indulging in extra calories especially at night. After researching, here’s my plan for resetting my healthier eating routine and digestive system.

First Relax. Don't beat myself up over a few week’s binge session. Manage my stress.

Plan my meals and control portion sizes. Eat slowly, taking small bites and chewing food thoroughly. Pay attention while eating avoid distractions.

Limit TV time and napping instead take a walk, do arts & craft, read, crochet …
Drink water, stay hydrated

Also up my consumption of prebiotic foods: apples, asparagus, dandelion greens, artichokes, garlic, leeks, onions, avocado, flaxseeds, oat and wheat bran. Luckily I have most of this on hand.

I’ll keep you updated on taming my feast beast 😵‍💫

You're still doing great! 3 lbs in one month is a lot when you're within 10 lbs of goal weight. Be proud!!

Challenge Goal: 4 lbs (149.9)
Challenge Actual: -2.6

Memorial Day weekend at camp was a challenge and I ate way too much junk food. Having the grandsons also made it difficult to get my normal exercise.

I tried to make up for it during the week and perhaps I over did it. I couldn't believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale today. It's been many weeks since the last time I've lost this much in a single week.

Another new 15 year low as of this morning with 78.7 total pounds lost and only 6.3 more pounds to go until I reach my final goal! I'm being optimistic and increasing my goal for this round of the challenge by another 2 pounds.

On a side note, you may have heard that MFP is doing away with the Newsfeed by the end of June. I'm pretty bummed about it myself. I rely a lot on automatic progress updates in the Newsfeed to encourage myself and my friends and to share information. I noticed this morning that they seem to have already stopped pushing diary and weight loss updates to the feed. I guess challenges like this one are even more important now, so that we can continue to support and encourage each other.

Have a great week!

Thank you Ruby for doing this challenge.
Just home from a brief holiday where I visited many friends, and all except one are much thinner and fitter than I am. Became very aware of being ‘heavy’, esp for my 5’1”.

I’m so happy I found this challenge group. Sorry I'm late joining but need an 'official' restart point.

These past months have been disasterous; weight has crept up, struggling with arthritic issues in ankle and foot preventing me from nature walks which is a favorite exercise. I've fallen into the rut of been looking back, missing recreation options of 'where we used to live'. I have to start looking forward and building new habits, using home equip and build a routine.

Present weight is 177ish, goals are to lose in 5# increments to 155, but to shed 30 pounds would be heavenly. I'm a senior who still works part time. Some days it's a struggle, fatigue becomes an issue, but the rewards of assisting and helping older seniors outweigh the negatives. I'd be quite lost without this contact.
Late starting this Challenge so dates adjusted to Fridays.
