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

I had skin removal surgery on April 25th so my weight loss will be a bit higher than normal I think. Or maybe not as I have quite a bit of swelling going on. So don’t worry if I go past the 5 lb healthy weight loss or if I gain lol. Thanks for all your support friends x8 -
Starting. Again.

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.

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.

Happy Sunday!
I am here...still...longest plateau ever. 6 months gaining and losing the same 3 lbs., over and over. Maybe I'll budge soon. Walked more in April than any month since I started MFP, so I am working harder. Trying to change up food choices some, and my sleeping has been kind of off. Working on that, sleep is important too!
Oh well I keep on keeping on.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018, post gallbladder surgery.

Not going to sweat this at all. I had to remind myself that this is what happened last month and I pulled it out in the end. I’m a daily weigher, and I’m seeing the same pattern already this month. I have lost 17 inches since March 18th, most of which fell off while the scale wasn’t moving. After clothes shopping yesterday, I cannot wait for the end of the month when I measure again! All of my NSV tell me I keep losing inches. I’ve also really stepped up my fitness from completing my goals at 100%, to 200% daily. Some of this could be water retention while my muscles heal.
Have a great week everyone! 🙌🏼

We are at a similar point in the journey just a different number. Great reminder to everyone to measure. After last month’s slow scale I got out the measuring tape on the 1st so I could track the progress I’m seeing in the mirror but not on the scale.
Especially as my exercise increases in intensity, building more and more muscle the scale has slowed even as I go down in clothing sizes.
As you suggested last month I stepped up my HITT game and I pushed past my plateau. Doing 1600 jumping jacks between strength moves sounded impossible until I actually did it!
I’m rewarding myself with a full wardrobe replacement in June, super motivating to push even harder every single day at the gym.5 -

@lalabank
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!!

I'm here! Never giving up!
I'm still stuck in the same 7 to 10-lb bracket in my weight-loss journey. My lowest was 185 back in Jan. and I can't seem to get back there. A lot has to do with stress; 3 more weeks until my niece moves back to Florida. I love her dearly but all of the stress taking care of her really is effecting my weight progress (or lack of it). So, for now it's just ups and downs....189...190...194...193...back to 190. You get the drift. I feel like I really won't see any REAL change until June. That's just the honest truth. So, right now it's all about maintenance and just keep hiking and stick to my low carb diet....
Goal: Maintain late 180s/lower190s until June.8 -
