    May goal 159.9

    April loss - 7.7
    March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
    February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs

    April 30 - 167.9

    May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
    May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
    I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
    May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.

    Inexplicably up from end of April. Monitoring Calories In/Out and Deficit. I'm on track, so trust the scale to catch up. It bumped the trend weight a bit, but it should trend back down.

    May Game Plan:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30
    • Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7

    May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.

    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    April 28 starting weight - 144.0 (ten-day rolling average weight 142.0)
    May goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).


    April 28 - 144.0 (142.0)
    May 5 - 144.0 (142.1)
    May 12 -
    May 19 -
    May 26 -
    May 31 -

    Total loss for May: I was away from the scale from April 28 to May 5, so the data is suspect, and the average isn't worth paying attention to. Since my last time on the scale was on a Sunday, that will be my weigh day this month.

    I am still participating in this monthly weight loss challenge even though I'm in my goal range. I'm also participating in a maintenance challenge.

    WOW! Way to go on breaking your plateau! Isn’t that the best feeling? It’s so satisfying to know that YOU are in control. When I broke mine I yelled, “I BEAT YOU!”, at the scale and my problem areas. Hahaha!!
    And look out - those workouts! I see your numbers on my feed and know you are killing it! 1600 jumping jacks? I can barely hang on for 30 seconds. You’re a champ!!
