    Hey all, Charlene here. I'm 58yo, 5'8", married 40 years, 6 kids, 9 grandkids, and I'm a caregiver for the elderly so they can stay in their homes.

    Goal weight: 150
    April 30: 182.3
    May 27: 181.9😀😀
    May 28: 183.3

    I expected this; salty food, plus went over and ate some of my exercise calories.

    I worked on de-stashing again yesterday on an area of my life that I was dreading having to face: my sewing stuff. I have been sewing since 1985. I mostly create clothes or alter thrift store garments, or I make practical items like tote bags, pot holders etc. I dreaded this gathering process because I feel like I'm a fabric hoarder. I had fabric or unfinished sewing projects stashed all over this big house: in the basement, garage, kitchen, and in my craft room. I sorted through it to see what I wanted to keep [it's like... Which of my children do I want to give away? 😂🤦] But I gave it honest critique, filled 8 donate bags which reduced my fabric stash by half, and packed the rest away.

    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total 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.

    05/28-187.2-(Trend Weight 186.4)- I had the family BBQ on Sunday for the Holiday and then went out-of-town shopping on Monday. I’m up 2.6 lbs from the weekend which really doesn’t surprise me since it’s been nothing but a food fest. I did not even get to post yesterday until almost 11:00 at night! Back on track today. I am going to try sticking to mainly liquids today with just one meal later tonight. If I don’t eat until about 9:00 I may be able to get by with no snacks even though I stay up pretty late. A day of liquids is not something I normally do but I really want to restrict calories today, just for the day. I would like to get rid of the bloat and as much of the 2.6 as I possibly can. What a morale booster that would be! It’s almost the end of the month and end of the round. I would really love to end on a loss of any kind although that is not looking too likely.

    I had a really good day food and energy wise today. Food wise is not surprising because I am feeding my body what it wants. I made my porridge, which is so important to a good start. And I made the soup, so I had plenty of healthy food to eat. When I feed myself, I don’t get desperate and eat so that I am not starving. I have 191 calories left today, so I am motivated to do my walk and get another few calories. My kid is grabbing me a nice tomato, so I can have the wedge salad I am craving. And I should be about ready for my bedtime routine after that.

    I got the tomato plants in yesterday, but have one more waterwall to complete - I’ll try for that tomorrow. I didn’t get the living room clean though. Maybe I’ll try to work that in tomorrow as its my work from home day and I get back an hour and 40 minutes of commute time.

    I kept trying to build in a little stretch time at work today and it just didn’t happen. I need so little. 30 seconds, but I could only get 10 and then I’d be interrupted. I did my first set, finally, right before coming on here. So thanks for the motivation! Working with the tomatoes, hauling bags of mulch, and pulling Ivey did a number on my back yesterday - which meant a throbbing knee. I had to take advil to sleep! This is why the stretching is so important.

    Good news! I found my watch, in my purse (so silly). It’s a small purse, but the watch band is a dark color. Now I can time my stretches better.

    I am going to add in the goal of gettting more sleep. I need it.

    @cattherien - it’s that time of year! I am going through the pantry to try and clean some of it out. I’m not ready for the arts and crafts, remaining kids toys, or my knitting things yet. There is so much other cleaning and decluttering to do!



    *** Previous***

    I’m starting in today even though it isn’t a beginning of a month because there is no time like now! I was at a really stressful job and bad habits made me gain a lot of weight. I am now at a new job, and the weight was coming off, but then it stopped. I tried to actively lose weight alone, but seemed to be treading water, so now am reaching out for community.

    I went back to tracking today. Non-weight goals are to make my porridge every day and have standardized meals, with a different salad or soup added in. Exercise goals are to stretch 2x a day and walk 5 days a week, minimum a mile. Get more sleep. :)

    05/26 216.8
    05/27 215.2
    05/28 215.0 - getting closer to my low weight for this round of 212.5

    🌷🪻May Starting Weight: 151.6🪻🌷

    Each Month I write a reflection on how the month went. Here's My April Reflection if anyone wants to read:
    April 2024 Reflection

    April was basically a frustrating weight loss month; lost 1.2 pounds. Didn’t reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasn’t a gain. Started off the month with indulging on Easter, then took an overnight trip to see the Eclipse and was also off plan. Then mid-month realized I had a problem with my bathroom scale – apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while – new scale new weight and it wasn’t pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight – which who knows if that was correct. For May – my goal is to get into the 140s come hell or high water.

    I have been successful with the exercise, averaging well over my 17K goal, and tracked a little over 250 miles again in April; year to date a little over 1,000; almost have way there. I am also on track for intentional miles with a little over 750 miles to date.

    I have been keeping on plan with my cardio and strength routines. I alternate one day of cardio and then one day of strength. Although I do not like them much, I add one stretch type routine weekly. I have been having some trouble with some pain in my knees – so found a stretching knee exercise that I began adding daily at the end of the month. I have an appointment with the Doctor May 1 to see what she says. Hopefully, I can continue to walk and won’t have to take a break.

    I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished “The Masked City” and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series – “The Burning Page”.
    The next round of The Biggest Loser starts May 1. We have a full team, and I spent a lot of time in-between rounds getting ready. Looking forward to the start. The Hogwarts Challenge started; always a fun one. I rejoined Fat2Fit - I can do it.
    • My May Goals:
    • Get into the 140 range!
    • Log 150 intentional miles; and 250 in overall miles
    • Alternate days of Cardio and Strength Training
    • Stretch 3 days per week
    • Average 17K steps per day
    • Read almost every day

    Here is my before and after picture for April. Not much different than last month but found a new before picture and took an after at the same spot.

    7n6u5wwbjdfh.png


    May 1: 151.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 🧘‍♀️ 💦🧂📖🎮ME! A good day for me yesterday; got it all done and had some Me time. I love a new month - a fresh start; and so glad to be back.
    May 2: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦🧂 🎮 ME! A nice swish - hope it stays off. Still working towards that old scale number (had to replace the old scale mid-April and the new scale was ugly and not nice). As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. Nice day yesterday - moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Noone won, but it is always fun.
    May 3: 152.2 👣 📝🥗 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦📖 🎮 I should keep my mouth quiet when I have big downside - it always bites me in the butt. Busy day yesterday. Got our morning walk done, then worked in the garden most of the day. Spread the rest of the soil and turned it in. Got the carrots, potatoes, and parsnips planted. Cleaned up the screened porch which was filled with garden stuff. Exhausted, so of course binged a little - but with all the exercise today came just under my calorie limit - with binging of course went over the sodium limit.
    May 4: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂 🎮 Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
    May 5: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🫀💦🎮 What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
    dnwifrcwamy1.jpg
    May 6: 150.2 😁 📝 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦 🧂📖 🎮 ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!

    May 7: 151 👣 📝 🥗🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
    May 8: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Nice day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).
    May 9: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 Ordered a new AC Unit - old one bit the dust. Busy day with the daddy-dos so had a hard tme fitting in the excercise - I felt very good about myself because I accomplished everything in my plan.
    May 10: 149.8 😁👣 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! It's temporary, but I'll take it. Today taking Mom out for Mother's Day - so expect a rise tomorrow. Going to our favorite seafood restaurant. But I have seen the 40s and they look nice!
    May 11: 150.0 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦📖 🎮 Nice day with Mom yesterday to celebrate Mother's day. Today going to visit Greg's cousin (actually his Mom's cousin). Greg's Mom passed quite a few years ago, and his cousin is his closest Mom figure.


    May 12: 149.8 😁📝 🥗💪 💦🧂📖 Missed my step goal, left the house at 6AM and didn't get back until 4PM - did get my workout done. I don't know how all you that work do it. I was exhausted and was just sitting chatting for 6 hours. Although I missed my step goal I did hit the 1,100 mile marker for my 2,024 in 2024 goal.
    May 13: 149.8 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️ 💦🧂📖🎮ME! I have been having some pain in my knees for a couple weeks now. When I had my doctor's appointment last week - my doctor said to keep walking, and referred me to an orthopedic doctor (appointment tomorrow). I have been pushing through to get my step and cardio goals done. The last couple of days, have been hurting a lot so slowed down a little. Just did a stretch workout and a couple smaller walks. I am anxious about what the doctor will say tomorrow.
    May 14: DNW: 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦🧂📖🎮ME! Well, yesterday after my walk - my knee froze up and now I can put any weight on it. Perfect timing - as I have my othopedic appointment today. Did not weigh because I can't step up on the scale. Using crutches - hope they can do something - but it looks like I won't be getting in those walks for the near future. I won't let it de-rail me. I'll have to do some upper body workouts unti I get it figured out.
    May 15: 150.2 📝💪 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Went to the doctor, arthritis in both knees, but concerned it could me a meniscus tear on left side (which doesn't show up on an xray). Have to wait for insurance to approve, then going for an MRI. In the meantime, stay off for a week or two, and ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Upper exercises, and eating less for the time being, and have to figure out my diet without having the exercise calories to rely on. Was a tad over yesterday. I did find some seated cardio and strength routines that I tried, but . . . .
    May 16 150.4 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Got it all done, except the steps (won't hit that for a while). I'm thinking the garmin overestimates the seated workouts calories. Feeling a little better, I can walk without the crutches. One step at a time. And I had TOO much ME time!
    May 17 151.4 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Very frustrating. I found a bunch of seated exercise routines and reached my 100 minutes of intentional goal - but it really apparent that the Garmin must over estimate how much I burned. I think today I won't record any exercise on my Garmin and just have a really light eating day. I have an appointment next Thursday (Yes a long way out) for an MRI. I was going to cancel because it seems to be getting better, and then I said "No, let's just do it to rule out anything major."
    May 18: 150.6 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! I took a short slow walk yesterday and did ok. Then the a lot of seated exercise to get my 100 minutes in. Didn't use any exercise calories towards my calorie limit and came 33 calories under my limit. I wasn't hungry - I don't eat because I'm hungry - never have. I eat because I like food. Today am celebrating Mother's Day and Allyson's 30th birthday - going out to lunch. Will have a very small breakfast and light dinner to compensate.I really would like to see the 140s again soon.
    May 19: 152.6 📝 💪 🫀💦📖 🎮 ME! It's what I expected. Out to lunch, and then that started me on the snacking instead of a light dinner. Way over the calorie limit and sodium - back to it today. Hoping the body quickly reverses my sabotage.

    May 20: 152.4 📝 🥗💪 🧘‍♀️ 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME!
    May 21: 150.8📝 🥗 💦🧂📖🎮ME! Finally the swish I was looking for. Almost met my step goal yesterday - getting back to it.
    May 22: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! I made my step goal Woo Hoo! A little sore, but I did it. MRI of course is tomorrow and I'm feeling better - still going to do it. It's a waste of 💵, they will tell me I'm nuts - but at least I will know.
    May 22: 151 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Well that was disappointing. Probably due to the higher sodium dinner last night, but I was under my sodium goal. Finished planting the garden - now just to wait to see what grows and control the pests!
    May 23: 150.4 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Had my MRI, good news is that we had met our deductible for the year so just a small co-pay. Really glad I said yes - now the waiting game for the doctor to get the results and then make the follow-up to see what it says. In the meantime, the knee feels better and I am getting in my walks. Allyson had an issue with her car, after being out with her friends, she got in her car to go home and the headlights didn't work - so we drove to her house after she got out of work - luckily it was just the bulbs. Dad replaced and the we drove home - she lives about 45 mintues away so my afternoon walk was cut a little short. Found a new strength workout channel on youtube that I tried. I liked.

    May 24: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Beautiful day on the water yesterday. Kind of a rest day for me. Got my steps in, but no other workouts - a nice walk at the Meadows yesterday, then we finished prepping the boat, and got our first ride of the season. Boating season has officially begun. The water is still a little chilly (73 degrees).

    May 25: 150.2 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Another beautiful day - church was having a plant sale, so we bought three flats of annuals. Planted most of them, planted marigolds and snapdragons around the vegetables to help keep the bugs away, and in the front of the house for color. Still have another 1/2 flat to go. Got my walks in and a short cardio workout, then relaxed in the afternoon. It was a nice day.

    May 27: 150.2 👣 📝 🥗💪 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Just noticed that I have been off one day for my dates for a while - don't know where the error started. LOL !Finished planting the flowers. Today is a rest day, going to meet my sisters at Foxwood Casino for an afternoon of gambling 🎰. Wish me luck! 🎲 🤞

    May 28: 150.6 📝 ME! What I expected, had a nice time yesterday - didn't win. Knee is bothering me again, so chair workouts today.

    May 29: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗🫀💪 💦🧂📖 🎮 ME! Got it all done, but I hate working out in a chair.

    Hey all, Charlene here. I'm 58yo, 5'8", married 40 years, 6 kids, 9 grandkids, and I'm a caregiver for the elderly so they can stay in their homes.

    Goal weight: 150
    April 30: 182.3
    May 28: 183.3
    May 29: 183.6🤦 well phooey

    I was under calories, got enough water, slept well. So I dunno. 🤷🤷 But I'm okay if the month ends up being a pound up; I'm not in a huge hurry. Yet I'm tempted to do your liquid/1 meal, Darlene. 🤔🤔🤔 It's not a bad idea to flush out the extra salt & bloating.

    Hubby got a message about the local job interviews yesterday. He has a phone call interview again tonight; then an in person interview this coming Tuesday.

    But at the same time, he saw a job opening as a county museum director in the little town we were originally going to move to; that museum is within walking distance of our rental house up there. It would be a good retirement job, so right now we're somewhat torn in our desires.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 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.

    05/28-187.2-(Trend Weight 186.4)- I had the family BBQ on Sunday for the Holiday and then went out-of-town shopping on Monday. I’m up 2.6 lbs from the weekend which really doesn’t surprise me since it’s been nothing but a food fest. I did not even get to post yesterday until almost 11:00 at night! Back on track today. I am going to try sticking to mainly liquids today with just one meal later tonight. If I don’t eat until about 9:00 I may be able to get by with no snacks even though I stay up pretty late. A day of liquids is not something I normally do but I really want to restrict calories today, just for the day. I would like to get rid of the bloat and as much of the 2.6 as I possibly can. What a morale booster that would be! It’s almost the end of the month and end of the round. I would really love to end on a loss of any kind although that is not looking too likely.

    05/29-184.8-(Trend Weight 186.3)- Another high demand day with the Renovation so I'm posting late but I did remember to weigh this morning before I took off running with the ball. Whoosh! I know it was mainly water or glycogen because I peed at least 10 times overnight. Tired today for sure. I was happy to see this on the scale though, no matter what it is because it puts me (barely) on the good side of the 180’s. The 170’s still belong to me, I just laid them down a minute but it’s definitely time to pick them back up. Yes, I am feeling pretty confident. I hope my optimism will last.
