We are now in our Fifth month of the year, and I absolutely love the start of a new, fresh month. Whether you’re just starting with this group, or you’ve been here for awhile, we’re so glad you’re here on this journey with us. ❤️

This year we’ve added a year-long challenge as well: ❤️⭐️2024 Weekly weigh-in Challenge⭐️❤️

We thought it would be fun to have a place to go for the entire year as well, so make sure you bookmark both of these threads so you can easily find them.

This year is about you setting your personal goals and how you’d like to achieve them and having friends to cheer you on!

We’re so glad you’re here! 🌸💐

Jill and the gang

    Hi everyone, weighing in every other day bc otherwise I get too discouraged. I leave for a trip 6/14 and want to be under 145 by then.

    SW 3/27: 172.2
    4/1: 168.0
    GW for end of may: 150
    GW for 6/14: 145
    UGW: 128

    5/1: 159.2

    Only down 0.4lbs since Sunday and feeling a little discouraged. I have been working out 55 minutes each day and staying at a 1000 calorie deficit according to my watch. I did get a steroid shot for my ear last Thursday so I am hoping it’s just water retention, I have also had a ton of sodium the past two days. Here goes another month!

    Hi all. I’m Rhonda. I live in Washington state with my husband. We have two grown children and four grandchildren. We both still work. We love to spend time mountain biking and boating. We have a five-year-old boxer and a 13-year-old pug.

    I’m back for another month of accountability. I started on January 20 at 221.4. I’ve been off of sugar since then. Low-carb low-fat and calorie deficit of around 1000 cal if I can get it.

    Happy May everyone! 🦋 I’m Kat and I live in rural NV with my boyfriend and 5 cats. I’ve been on a slow weight loss/fitness journey since February. This month’s challenges will be heavy workload and stress at work and renovations and other projects around the house with 10 days off at the end of the month to focus completely on renovations. My main goal this month is to not burn myself out with so much going on! Mostly healthy meals, exercising when I have energy, and a healthy focus on emotional/mental health.
    SW: 122.6
    UGW: TBD, ~105ish depending on muscle

    5/01: 113.8 I’ve been recuperating from my crazy weekend and slowly coming back down. This weekend might involve another long drive which will throw me off again, but I will try to prep for it my exercising a bit more today and tomorrow.

    Greetings everyone. Welcome newbies.
    I’m Cass 42yo from Armidale NSW Australia. 🇦🇺 I have fibromyalgia and have a huge amount of weight to lose. Unfortunately I’m all tummy. I recently joined the gym - I’ve only managed twice a week so far but I want to try and aim for 3-4 days at the gym. I try and walk my dog most days too. Last month I didn’t really lose any weight due to increased activity = increased eating and increased fatigue = sugar cravings. Hope to manage hunger better this month.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

    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


    This Challenge Starting Weight (from April 30th): 185.6
    Goal: 181.6 (Four lb Loss)
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx



    **********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************



    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)- This is my birthday month and the best gift I can give myself is the gift of health. I’ll be working on keeping my carbs low enough to keep my diabetes in check. I’ll be working on calories also to assist in much-needed weight loss. I hope to get back into the 170's this round even though my actual goal is always a 4 pound loss per month which would keep me in the low 180's for May. So, I will aim for the 4 lbs and hope for over 5.4 lbs. A foot injury put me on a path of weight gain but things are improving on that front so there are no excuses not to step up my game. I hope that the Northern Michigan weather will cooperate and I will be able to get outside more and get in more activity. If not, I will work on inside physical activity. Good luck everyone this round. We got this, my friends!

    05/02-185.4-(Trend Weight 182.4)- I did well all day until evening snack time. I stuck to my “approved” snacks but probably had as many calories and carbs in my snacks as I had in my dinner earlier. Not good. I recently bought a box of Elevation brand snack bars at Aldi’s. The calories are fair and the net carbs are very good (2 Net Carbs). The portion size is smaller than a normal bar or candy bar but it was so very good that I ate two. The taste and the 2 net carbs are so appealing that it makes them dangerous to be in my home. I probably will not buy them again until I feel I have better control of my sweet tooth. I had no exercise yesterday when I could have fit it in. Yes, I was pretty busy paying bills and such since it was the 1st of the month but realistically I know I could have made the time. I’m getting complacent with my food and lazy with my exercise and that is not the recipe for success. I am happy for no gain today and for feeling “enlightened” to my current behaviors. I hate the way these extra couple of pounds makes me feel both inside and out. I have already started my day with a workout video while I waited for my construction crew to show up. Today is already a better day. I am recommitting and plan on keeping all the promises I made to myself because I am worth it.
