Week 1:
5/1 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
5/2 - ? no scale. Out of town for a wedding
5/3 - 144
5/4 - 144 trying to get correct calorie number
5/5 - 142.2
5/6 - 142.2
5/7 - 142.2 - Stuck. Was hoping for a little drop, but happy it didn't climb. Need to study my calorie intake and
see where I need to adjust. Good upper body workout last night. Feeling some muscle soreness this
morning. Pouring down rain so was not able to get a walk in as well.
5/8 - ? no scale, out of town. Did get in a 4.39 mile walk/run. Hoping scales look decent on Monday morning.
Week 2:
5/9 - ? no scale, out of town but I know it's not good. Thunderstorms, not walk. No workout. Fingers crossed tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad. Indulged a bit too much for Mother's Day.
5/10 - 144 should have controlled myself more yesterday but truly enjoyed my poor choices. Lunch out with my kids and did not make healthy choices. Back on track today. Need to be diligent this week in losing the almost 2 pound gain.7 -
4/30 weight: 188.0
May goal: end the month lighter than I started
Lessons learned in April:
- processed carbs (including rice and oats, not just gluten items) don't work for me
- need to consistently drink more water
- need to find ways to be more active throughout the day
- be mindful during the weekend!
- daily weigh-ins and the accountability of this group definitely help me stay on track!
4/30 F - 188.0
5/1 S - 189.4 why??? beats me. no gluten or grains yesterday.
Run plan for the week: run 13m, walk 2m, 3 rounds
5/2 S - (run) 191.8 ok so I know why, gluten'd myself yesterday. Working today, run, and take the dogs on a walk.
5/3 M - 188.8 rain today so will walk on the treadmill
5/4 T - (run) 189.4 running today. The run went really well Sunday so am looking forward to it.
I also agree that the weather can help or hurt my desire to be outside moving. The dogs don't seem to understand that concept ;-)
5/5 W - (zumba) 190.4 Yesterday's run went well, discovered that a slight uptick in speed helped...who knew... Zumba today and hoping for a walk as well. Rice last night. I really hate the water fluctuations, so frustrating. Need to fully commit to no processed carbs.
5/6 T - (run) 190.2 cold and rainy today, that helps nothing at all. But today I'm going to work, and then run.
5/7 F - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
5/8 S - forgot to weigh
Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
5/9 S - (run) 178.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
5/11 T - (run)

@deepwoodslady
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!2 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA.
Starting Weight (from April 30, 2021): 206.2
Goal: 201.2 (Five lb Loss)
05/01 – 206.6 Not such a good start. Lots of room for improvement. Good luck this round everyone!
05/02 - 207.4 Severe glucose drop yesterday while on the road which led to a quick feeding frenzy. I hate this roller-coaster but I will not give up. It can be done, no matter how my body fights me. I’m the boss!
05/03 - 207.4 No change after a good day is disappointing me but onward I march in this battle.
05/04 - 206.6 A bit better. Traveling today for a bone scan. I will be gone most of the day. A lot of sitting while driving and a meal out at a restaurant may drive the scale back up. I will try to be mindful.
05/05 - 208.8 Crazy number. Skipped two meals and only ate half my dinner so I could have a piece of cheesecake. It was large but in no way should it have caused a 2.2 pound weight gain overnight! Tomorrow should be better!
05/06 - 208.6 Working it back down I hope.
05/07 - 208.6 Some things were right (meals), some things were wrong (snacks) and some things indifferent (activity due to rain). I did work a bit on all 3 though. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
05/08 - 208.6 Stubborn Fat! Ugg
05/09 – 208.8 Struggling.
05/10 – 208.8 My birthday is today but I am not celebrating until next Sunday. I was really hoping I would have been closer to Onederland by my birthday so this is depressing. However, I’m not done yet!

@deepwoodslady Sorry to see you struggling so. Hang in there. Plateaus are tough, but they do end. In the meantime. Can you tap into other measures to help you feel better about your successes (e.g., I am losing very slowly at the moment, but I feel so much better than when I was eating poorly, have more energy, fewer aches and pains. So I try to remember how bad I felt before and it helps me to trust the process and feel better about the lack of movement on the scales. Also, clothes are less snug!)5

WEEK TWO
5/2: 67.3
5/3: 67.1
5/4: 67.2 Due for a workout today
5/5: 67.0 I have not been able to exercise this week, lots of work and school stress. So will just have to make sure I continue eating healthy and try move around more during the day.
5/6: 67.0 not much activity yesterday, also too busy to eat during the day... then very hungry at night. Today is to try stick to eating mostly during the day and less at night. Also drink 3l of water today! Wish me luck

May Starting Weight: 144.6
May Goal Weight: 140.6
5/1: 144.6
5/2: 149 This is simply not possible. I think yesterday’s weight may have been too low, because this huge gain cannot be right. I did eat out last night but I was reasonable. This has to be some major water retention. I will drown myself in H2O today!
5/3: 147.2
5/4: 146.2
5/5: 146.6
5/6: 145.8
