    Joining for May - I have a lot to lose but 5 pounds is a good goal. I'm 60, have knee pain due to cancer meds, and have a sedentary job. My goal for May is to get more active.

    Cardio 3 times a week
    Steps - > then 5000 daily, more as the month progresses
    Strength 3 times a week
    One healthy choice a day

    It's a start (again)

    I've been at this weight, which is very high for me, since Christmas. I've had a lot of stress and depression, including a death in the family and have engaged in hardly any physical activity. I still don't know if I'm up for reducing calories, and I hurt my knee so I can't walk or run.

    I've been fluctuating the past couple of days so I need to get some of this excess water weight off (which I think has happened because of a LACK of enough fluids, plus wine tasting this weekend -- whoops)! Time to make May as productive as April was! Woo hoo!

    Sorry, you'll have to excuse me, I'm late on checking in. I didn't see a place to edit my original post (I'm still fairly new on the boards)... so I'm making a new post and hoping that's what we're supposed to be doing, lol! Feeling a little discouraged because when I originally weighed in, the scale showed a one pound increase despite almost six days of exercise. Turns out, I must have been holding water because I weighed this morning and that pound is gone. Still, I've lost nothing, which is astounding because I've stayed at 1,500 or less calories (MFP says I need 1890 to lose 1 lb./week) and, like I said, worked out nearly everyday. The week before, I lost three pounds and only did one or two workouts.

    I am also getting frustrated as I was very proud of myself for losing 10 pounds and then I maintained that weight for 5 months. Now in the last two weeks I have started a new work out routine and have gained 4 pounds! IT IS NOT MUSCLE. I can tell that it is just weight and it is very frustrating to me. Hoping this challenge will help to get me back on track :)

    Something I did this past week - I opened my Diary to my friends on MFP. It was very scary to fess up to what I was eating (and why I was gaining back weight) but I got some great advice, from one MFP friend in particular so it was worth it. She even checked my diary a few days later and complimented me on my changes so that made me feel good.

    Something else I did - I started doing sit-ups this morning; good ole regulation sit-ups. My sister told me I needed them (thanks Sis!). I did 10 this morning and am looking to continue by doing sit-ups every morning. Another MFP friend suggested I add planks to that to help build up my core. I might have to save those for the weekend!

    Shanna... Congratulations! That's terrific and inspiring! I am trying to cut back on sweets as well, as I am noticing a huge negative impact on my life from my sweet tooth.
