    MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
    May goal: The 148.8
    Ultimate goal: 112-115

    I weigh every day.

    Friday May 01 - 153.8 - How great it would be to get firmly entrenched into the 140s by June!
    Saturday May 02 - 153.6
    Sunday May 03 - 155.3 - Ribs. I will try not to have them for at least another month. They were delicious, but it will take awhile to get the weight back down. I knew this.
    Monday May 04 - 154.7 - Still working off those Ribs.
    Tuesday May 05 - 153.4 - Another case of going back to bed to lay there and listen to the radio, a pound down from when I first got up.
    Wednesday May 06 - 154.1 - I did go back to bed after getting up, but am from now on am going to use the higher number. (Otherwise I was 153.1 after going back to bed)
    Thursday May 07 - 153.1 - Slept in today. Rainy days make me tired I think.
    Friday May 08 - 156.1 - Dang it!
    Saturday May 09 - 154.8

    Wednesday May 20 - 152.1 - Slept in, so got this good number.
    Thursday May 21 - 152.3 - I really wouldn't know what day it was unless copy pasting from yesterday and putting in today's date.
    Friday May 22 - 152.1 - I was 163 on this date last year, so have lost 10 pounds in a year. Many years to go at this rate to reach my goal, but sticking with it.
    Saturday May 23 - 153.3 - Must be the pizza from 2 days ago, my metabolism is that slow.
    Sunday May 24 - 152.6 - I felt quite lean yesterday all day. Nice feeling. I have a long way to go still, but am down 6 pounds since November 01.19. So slow, but having a day where I felt lean is good.
    Monday May 25 - 152.2 - 6 more weigh days for this month, hoping to see the 151s.

    Biscuits! I have never done this well with weight loss in a month.

    Mon to Sun calorie avg was 1278.

    I'm not loving the weight gain due to my new scale but I will work to get back to the top of my maintenance goal.
    Now, I do love that my weight syncs with Fitbit which then syncs with MFP. Also, all of the stats are nice.
    Renpho Bluetooth Scale on Amazon

    FYI: My BF has been back and forth between 33% and 35% for 6 months. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.
    I have seen 32% once in March and May - on my way!


    MFP Starting Weight: 140 lbs - February 2011
    Current Starting Weight: 147.4 lbs - November 2017
    May Starting Weight: 118.2 lbs (February Starting Weight...thanks new scale :/ )
    May Goal: 115.2 lbs
    Height: 5ft
    Age: 31

    Ultimate Goal: 110 lbs
    Maintenance Goal: 110 to 115 lbs


    Weigh-In Days: Monday and Friday

    May 1: 118.2
    May 4: 117.8 @ 7am ... 29k weekend steps, 1 workout, and 14 cups of water to work off Friday's pizza gain (119.8) ... 32% BF
    May 8: 117 @ 7am ... yesterday's stats: 12k steps, 1300 cals, 8 cups of water and 2 workouts
    May 11: 116 @ 7am ... yesterday's stats: 11k steps, 1270 cals and 5 cups of water ... 31% BF :D
    May 15: 115.6 @ 6:40am ... yesterday: 12k steps, 1150 cals, 8 cups of water and 1 workout ... pizza is on the menu tonight so I'm expecting a gain tomorrow.
    May 18: 115.2 @ 7:30am ... yesterday: 11k steps, 1160 cals, 5 cups of water and 1 workout ... 31% BF :D
    May 22: 114 @ 7am ... yesterday: 13k steps, 1180 cals and 8 cups of water... sweet and sour chicken and french fries for dinner tonight... expecting a gain tomorrow... going to work it off this weekend...
    May 25: 114 @ 7am... yesterday: 14k steps, 1210 cals, 6 cups of water, ~2824 mg sodium and 1 workout... 32% BF

    Total loss for May - 1.8 LBS

    NOTES - I’m determined to get this back down by the end of the month. Back on IF but I’ve yet to have an OMAD day. Got back to my daily morning run on Sunday so that’s 3 runs so far this week. Also did a Zumba class yesterday evening and have another 2 planned this week. Will do my best to log all my food and drink all the water.

    My name is Donna and I am from the Midwest. 5’ 5”. I am 60 years old.

    Original starting weight - 253
    May starting weight (Final weigh-in April 30th) – 207.9
    May goal - 202.9
    Ultimate goal – 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there)

    1st – 207.7
    7th- 208.8 Inflated weight due to travel yesterday. Very little movement, no planned exercise (just driving in car) and restaurant food (sodium and carbs are my enemy). I’ll be working on having a good week! This is my birthday week. It falls on Mother’s day Sunday so I plan on trying to gift myself a drop in weight this week. Is it possible with a Mother’s Day holiday and a Birthday? Stay tuned….
    14th – 205.0 That is more like it!
    21st – 204.3 I am happy to see it down a bit from last week but making goal will be tough unless I tighten my belt more. I haven’t reached the 5 pound goal in several rounds so I’m still up for the challenge! #makingchangesinmylife.
    28th – 204.8 I’ve made progress since the beginning of the month, but I hoped for the 5 pounds. I don’t think I’ll reach that but I will strive for a little more loss by the 31st.

    Female, 59, 5'3"
    MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
    May goal: 148.8
    Ultimate goal: 112-115

    I weigh every day.

    Friday May 01 - 153.8 - How great it would be to get firmly entrenched into the 140s by June!
    Saturday May 02 - 153.6
    Sunday May 03 - 155.3 - Ribs. I will try not to have them for at least another month. They were delicious, but it will take awhile to get the weight back down. I knew this.
    Monday May 04 - 154.7 - Still working off those Ribs.
    Tuesday May 05 - 153.4 - Another case of going back to bed to lay there and listen to the radio, a pound down from when I first got up.
    Wednesday May 06 - 154.1 - I did go back to bed after getting up, but am from now on am going to use the higher number. (Otherwise I was 153.1 after going back to bed)
    Thursday May 07 - 153.1 - Slept in today. Rainy days make me tired I think.
    Friday May 08 - 156.1 - Dang it!
    Saturday May 09 - 154.8
    Sunday May 10 - 155.5
    Monday May 11 - 155.2
    Tuesday May 12 - 153.7
    Wednesday May 13 - 153.3
    Thursday May 14 - 154.1
    Friday May 15 - 154.4 - No reason for this gain, hoping to see it gone tomorrow.
    Saturday May 16 - 154.8 - I am not getting much sleep the last few days, thinking that is contributing to gaining weight.
    Sunday May 17 - 154.3
    Monday May 18 - 153.6
    Tuesday May 19 - 152.8
    Wednesday May 20 - 152.1 - Slept in, so got this good number.
    Thursday May 21 - 152.3 - I really wouldn't know what day it was unless copy pasting from yesterday and putting in today's date.
    Friday May 22 - 152.1 - I was 163 on this date last year, so have lost 10 pounds in a year. Many years to go at this rate to reach my goal, but sticking with it.
    Saturday May 23 - 153.3 - Must be the pizza from 2 days ago, my metabolism is that slow.
    Sunday May 24 - 152.6 - I felt quite lean yesterday all day. Nice feeling. I have a long way to go still, but am down 6 pounds since November 01.19. So slow, but having a day where I felt lean is good.
    Monday May 25 - 152.2 - 6 more weigh days for this month, hoping to see the 151s.
    Tuesday May 26 - 153.1 - No reason for the gain, I definitely want to see a lower number by the 31st.
    Wednesday May 27 - 152.3 - Working very hard at this.
    Thursday May 28 - 153.2 - Hoping to get that back down by the 31st - 5 days in the 152s this month so far.

    Original starting weight - 168
    May starting weight - 126.3
    May l goal - 121.3
    Ultimate goal - 109

    1st - 126.3
    7th - 129.4 I have been eating a LOT more since I started running and working out again.
    14th - 128.1 The scale has been at this weight for three days and all I can hope for is that when the scale does move it's gonna be a nice dip.
    21st - 132.4 Binging this month has set me back. Since the 21st I've been working hard to get back into some kind of routine. I won't make the 5 lb loss but if I can get out of this cycle then I'll consider this month a success.
    28th - 127.4 I'm going easy and trying to not take any extremes one way or another.
