    Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145
    Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    R30 EW 153.5 LW 153.5 = sick 4 days
    R31 EW 154.0 LW 152.0 = recuperation during entire round / annual physical 2/15/18 BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14

    04/05: 155.5 Not surprised ~ ate Easter candy and *ahem* retaining some waste. Net calories, sugar & sodium red, fiber & protein both little low & 14c water. Snow/ice on roads so back to treadmill before work / 3 mi 48:05. Fitbit 15,285 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 50 floors.

    4/10 - 184.8
    4/11 - 186.0....OOPS! Tuesday's usually get away from me. TOPS weigh in, so I treat myself to fast food &
    dessert afterwards. Back on track now! Tomorrow will be a better weight.
    4/12 - 185.8
    4/13 - 186.4

    It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
    My ultimate goal is 170lbs, so any loss is a good loss.
