    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
    June goal 158.3

    May loss - 1.8 - Really wanted to get into the 150s. Not yet.
    April loss - 7.7 - Maybe all of that calorie burn from February and March finally showed up.
    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

    June 01 - 163.3
    June 02 - 163.0
    June 04 - 163.2
    June 05 - 163.1
    June 07 - 163.4
    June 08 - 162.8
    June 09 - 164.1 - Didn't get to eat until extremely late last night. Hopefully the number is better tomorrow.
    June 10 - 165.0 - Not sure why I am up today.
    June 11 - 162.9 - Glad that spike is over, hopefully back on the losing track
    June 12 - 161.5 - I didn't make the best choices last night, so I expect this might catch up with me.
    June 13 - 162.2
    June 14 - 161.4
    June 15 - 162.3 - Halfway through the month. Had hoped for more of a loss, but will keep trying.
    June 16 - 161.8 - Really fluctuating this month.
    June 17 - 163.2 - Argh. Had way more water yesterday than usual.
    June 18 - 162.9
    June 19 - 160.3 - I had a hard time getting enough water in the last few days. If it is not just water loss then woo-hoo!
    June 20 - 161.0 - 161 is my 30 pound loss mark
    June 21 - 160.9
    June 22 - 162.2
    June 23 - 163.0 - 7 days to get this number down
    June 24 - 162.5
    June 25 - 162.1
    June 26 - 160.6 - I was short on water yesterday, this might account for a drop in weight
    June 27 - 161.0 - I really hope that it doesn't take me 5 months to lose the next 10 pounds!
    June 28 - 162.1 - I had a nice rib feed last night. I used to have ribs once a week, then once a month, now this was the first time I have had them in 5 months. It might tip the scale for a few days, but I got a little tired of depriving myself all of the time and barely losing any weight. I don't regret this. Nor can I eat only 1 rib for 270 calories, I had 6 plus accompaniments. I suppose that I will have to stay away from them again for a long while.

    June Running loss/gain - loss 1.2 lbs

    Geez Tia, maybe that is the weight that you are supposed to be at, you have stayed right around that number for many months.
    75 pounds is a significant weight loss.

    61 years old; 5'2"
    Original starting weight - 158.5 (12/30/2018)
    May ending weight 149.6 (May loss 2.7 lbs)
    June starting weight - 149.6
    June goal -144.6
    Ultimate goal - 135.0

    Adjusting check-in dates to use my regular Friday weigh-ins (pins) for my personal tracking. Checking in between weigh-ins helped keep me focused, will keep that up in June.

    📌 1st - 149.6 (Trend Weight 150.3)
    2nd - 149.3 (Trend Weight 150.2)
    4th - 149.8 (Trend Weight 150.1)
    📌 7th - 151.6 (Trend Weight 150.4)
    11th - 149.6 (Trend Weight 150.4)
    📌 14th - 149.0 (Trend Weight 150.1)
    18th - 148.5 (Trend Weight 149.6)
    📌 21st - 148.4 (Trend Weight 149.4)
    25th - 149.8 (Trend Weight 149.4)
    📌 28th - 149.2 (Trend Weight 149.5) << corrected
    📌 30th -

    Today's Thoughts: Geeze. I thought yesterday was Friday. And I typo'ed the weigh in. I'm doing ok, and I'm gradually getting the early & late month spikes down. This is going much slower than I anticipated, but I am making steady progress. I tend to have to fight with myself at the end of the month when I'm not at my 5 lb goal. I keep telling myself that it's a Big Audacious Goal, and that baby steps count. I'm getting there. And the slow progress is setting me up for long term maintenance. I know what I need to do, and the lifestyle changes that are necessary to not have to continually focus on weight loss and just concentrate on maintaining healthy.

    June Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 This is very reasonable for me
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 3869
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 88
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3

    I'm at the 6-month point, and it's encouraging to look at the overall progress:

    @mari_moulin - great job! Sorry to hear about the impending surgery - and the pool 😥 So you said you eat back some of your exercise calories? I don't usually, and my calorie limit is 1200 as well - is there a benefit to doing so? And can you remind what your IF schedule is? Mine is 8pm-8am and I'm ready to extend it.

    Why I know I’m very bummed about it all. So yea I decided instead of eating my maintenance calories which I found to be way too much and honestly I think I was using it as an excuse to go overboard, I thought that instead I would stay at 1200 and eat some of my workout calories back which as worked well. I always say if you want to eat a bit more work out a bit more and all is good. It worked well for me this week. Let’s see if I can continue to have this success next month. My current IF is 16:8 and my eating window is between 12 and 8pm. Occasionally I will move that depending on certain special occasions. It on a regular day this is what it is.

    Thanks @mari_moulin That makes sense. I forgot you're on maintenance. I think I'm going to stick to not consuming my exercise calories and move my eating window to 10am - 8pm and see if I can boost the loss rate
