Lose 5lbs + in May 2019

58 years old, 5'3"
Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
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.
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.
May 05 - 166.4 - Back on track, but stuff from Friday is still showing up. Maybe tomorrow will be better : - )

I am back again and very determined to get under 145 this month. My weigh-in days will be Thursday. Good luck everyone!

Original starting weight - 178
May starting weight - 148.2
May goal - 144
Ultimate goal - 140

1st - 147.3 nice drop to begin the month off right!
2nd - 148.8 my anniversary was yesterday and we went to dinner, so I fully expected a little bit of an uptick.
9th - 146.7 there is that drop that I wanted last week! So close to my May goal weight of being under 145. I think it’s a doable thing.

@deepwoodslady Thank you!

Beware TMI - It's my time of the month and the good thing about it is that I usually poop more which helps with all this extra food that I have been eating this week. I was ecstatic about my weigh-in because we are guilty of not having gone to the gym this week.

But we are planning on going on Sunday! Keep it up everyone!

~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.

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 have lost 17 inches so far, 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! 🙌🏼

13th- 153.8

30 lbs GONE! 🥳

This week I learned the importance of recovery. Mine was forced due to a tendon strain across the inner right ankle. It’s pretty painful, but getting better each day. This allowed my sore muscles to give way and so did the scale! I was shocked! I felt so discouraged last Monday sitting in the chiro getting X-rays, ultrasound, and cold therapy - I thought, this is it, this is where I fail. But then I remembered who is in control here! I can’t burn the same amount of calories I could last week, but I can lift and it feels great!!

Keep going no matter what! Have a great week!! 👊🏼
