5/27 – Today is probably the hardest work-out day of my challenge. The workout is basically 50 minutes of calisthenics, and I am going to die because I am already so sore! I really want to take one more rest day, but I know I need to push through it.3

May GW: get back to 70
1. Get my snacking under control. I'm good with my three meals, but it is the inbetween and evening snacks that undo everything
2. My May goal is exactly the same as the April goal, I'll keep on reporting here on a daily basis until I get to 70 again.
3. Hopefully, we will get back to diving again somewhere this month, which burns calories like crazy

***5/26 – 132.4 – I was pretty good this weekend, only ate over my calories once and did all scheduled workouts.
*5/27 – Today is probably the hardest work-out day of my challenge. The workout is basically 50 minutes of calisthenics, and I am going to die because I am already so sore! I really want to take one more rest day, but I know I need to push through it. DID IT!
5/28 – 131.6 (YAY!) I slept through my alarm this morning, missed a call from my boss and have been behind all day. Hoping to recollect at noon, but my workout will have to be later this evening.

Still not mustering up the desire or "motivation" to do what workouts I can with my gyms all still closed. Tempted to look for an alternative gym for a few months that would go MTM until I mine reopens.
Getting the eating under control though, and thankfully my appetite has responded to me getting back to how I *should* be eating after upping the protein and lowering the carbs again.

38yo 167 cm (7m pospartum)
W pre-baby: 74kg
SW (January): 76.5kg (3m pp)
CW: 69.7
GW: 65kg
GW May: 68kg
1. Log food everyday.
2. Walk 1h 5x week.
3. Workout twice/week.
4. Do a stretching session each week.
5. Going back to work on the 11th after 8 weeks at home: try not to stress and enjoy our “new life”.
9/05: 69.7kg
Logged everyday and worked out twice, but only walked twice this week. I’ll try to go walking and do my stretch session this weekend. I’m going back to a small deficit this week: diet break is over.
15/05: 69.7kg
I’ve been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks: last week I was eating at maintenance but this week was back to a small deficit. I hoped to lose something 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve worked out, logged cal, but I just went for a walk twice this week, instead of everyday like I used to. I know what I have to do...
22/05: 69.7kg
3 weeks at the exact same weight. I was afraid I would have gained a bit: I didn’t log on Sunday, didn’t work out... it was my first week back to work after lockdown is over and I didn’t have much time. A bit stressedout too.
I’m not happy, but I know I have to increase my “calories out”. 3 weeks at the same weight! 😩
29/05: 69.1kg
Finally! I didn’t reach my May goal of 68kg, but I’m happy the scale is moving again. I think I managed to do quite good with goals 1, 3 and 5, but I didn’t do 2 and 4: I only walked 2-3 times a week and mostly didn’t do my stretching workout. April was great, May not so much... June is gonna be awesome 😊

So as we close out May.How did everyone think they did? What worked? What did not work?
Was I successful? I dunno. I managed to do the last 3 weeks with good eating (no craziness after dinner which is my downfall) I did not get sick which is one of the priorities. And my middle seems a lot let bloated. LOL. I don't like weighing daily because the spikes make me a little nutz but the data nerd in me likes to see trends. I also managed some days where I did not run and also did not go over. That's a biggy for me to accept.
I am ending up in my maintenance range barely (+5 for me) but at the high end which always bugs me. Here is to a fantastic June for all of us. As always I look forward to the new month and what exciting ideas and goals everyone will have. Antiopelle, I haven't gone diving in many many years and would probably be more up for snorkling now but I do wish I could go waterskiing again. Just too lazy to try to put it all together with the boat right now.
Let's launch my friends!

Hello all,
Great to see your progress and motivation!
My goal is to get a jump on June:
1) Log food daily
2) PT exercises every day
3) Lose the 5 lbs I gained this month
4) Drink more water
5) Stop eating snacks in front of TV

ME:
30y * 5'9" * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
MAY GOALS- Get back into some workout routine
I definitely succeeded here! Been doing it 3x/week. Only running has been limited the past 2 weeks because of injuries 🙁 Hope I can pick that up soon! - New focus on glute workout
Love the new workout and love the result! Can't believe I already seemed to have gained 1cm on the butt. - Do better on IF again (fix coffee in the morning)
Also did much better this month. Not to say I made it to 16h every day, sometimes I fell short an hour or so, but also often had 17-18 hours a day. - Make more "binge-volume-eating"-safe food
My BFF has moved in for a couple of months and she is helping with this goal: making a nice big refreshing salad in the morning so we can munch on it during the day when you get that "not-hungry-just-want-to-chew-something"-vibe
MEASUREMENTS
I'm glad to verify my weight is reflected in some dropped measurements (except for hips, which I'm thrilled about).
Waist: 76cm (<> 74cm) ↓75cm
Belly: 92cm (<> 90cm)n ↓91cm
Thigh: 59cm (<> 56cm) no change
Hips: 100cm (<> 98cm) ↑101cm
WEIGHT - 7 day averages
04 May: 69.1kg
11 May: 68.8kg
19 May: 67.6kg
25 May: 68 kg
Final: 68.2kg - I would have liked to end with an average below 67, but still lost a kg this month so can't complain. And more importantly: I'm in the right mindset again so I'm sure June will cover the next kg.
5 - Get back into some workout routine

Congratulations @RobinAlex666 !2

@SummerSkier we have a lot of hobbies in common. I love to water ski, but don't have a boat right now, so it is mostly dreams of skiing for me.
I love the horse in your profile picture! He is gorgeous. I ride myself, but because of COVID, I have been unable to see the horse that I am partial leasing in a very long time. I miss him! Give your boy an extra hug for me!
Last month went really well for me. I fell off track this weekend, but I am excited to start again in march. I think what really helped me was thinking about total calories in in a week, rather than how many calories I am eating each day. If I eat over my goal one day, I can eat less the next day and it all balances out. Or in my case, I will eat less during the week to give myself room for some White Claws on the weekend.3 -
@guitargirl55 i will have to friend you! LOL. Join us in the June thread please. We are going to KILL it this month.2
