Lose 5lbs in May 2021

Hi guys, back again for another month
This is an open challenge, everyone can come and go as they please
Remember to be friendly, supportive and respectful to everyone else
Post as much or as little as you like
Share your triumphs and failures so we can support and cheer you on as needed, share things that have worked for you to give others ideas and even share of things haven’t worked for you so theirs can offer alternatives and ideas.
Use which ever format you like, I personally prefer this one :

Original starting weight -
May starting weight -

    Let's see if I can achieve this. I have a bonus this month because I ate salty food two days in a row at the end of April. I have three methods - keeping active, tracking my food and exercise.

    Starting today with a vacation in a month. Just want to feel good and strong. Doing the plank challenge and working on accountable eating. Had back surgery 3 months ago so exercise is challenging but can walk. Good luck to all and remember your beautiful

    I did reach my previous UGW of 110 lbs in August 2020 but gained weight every month since and I felt 110 lbs was too low.

    I've found my new UGW (maintenance) aim of 115 to 122 lbs. I'm using Fitbod app in hopes of slowly gaining muscle as I reach for my new maintenance goal.


    Original starting weight - 147.4 lbs - Nov 2017
    May starting weight - 125.6
    May goal - 122.6

    Ultimate goal - 115 to 122
    Height - 5 ft
    Age Range: 30s

    1st - 126.6 ... Calories In 1682 Calories Out 1955 ... 12,310 steps
