5/2 Sun - 133.0 - Going to try to not let fluctuations bug me this month
5/3 Mon - 132.2 - Looks like many of us had a weight spike early in the month. Going to try to get back to my start weight this week.

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) 187.8 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) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak

April Starting Weight: 151.8
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

5/9: 149 Too much crawfish yesterday!
5/10: 151.4 Too much Mother’s Day yesterday! Back on track today.
5/11: 147.2 Drank lots of water yesterday.

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.

OK, it took me a minute to get started.
My top weight was 256.5lb Jan.1, 2019 and as of today I'm 214lb up from 210lb after a weekend camping trip. I'm always looking for some thing to keep me focused. I just did a Biggest Loser contest and lost 24lb...I did not win. {:^(
I seem to do better when I weigh in everyday so I'm in.
My goal weight for this challenge is 208lb by the 5/31.

Before finding this community I had convinced myself that my scale was completely inaccurate. I live in an old colonial house. Sometimes the floors in older houses can be slightly uneven. This can't always be seen by the naked eye. Anyhow, when I stepped on my scale I would always assume ( for over a year )...yes, once again, the slanted floor is giving me a skewed weight.... The scale must be off by at least 8 to 12 pounds. At the end of April I decided to check the evenness of the floors. I got our level out of the garage, started in the basement because I reasoned that where the foundation is, the floor must be the most level and I measured. My hypothesis turned out to be correct. The basement floor was completely even everywhere. I checked the living room where the floor was off just a little and lastly the bathroom where the scale is located. The floor was completely level in the bathroom. Yep.5

@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!)
@jan110144 I really appreciate the thoughts, and I have been there where you speak of. But right now, it is not as much a plateau as it is being in a bad place. Nothing is right. My diet is good on some days but not consistent. My exercise needs to be much improved but I am trapped at home with a remodeling crew who are moving like snails leaving me no privacy. My clothes are tighter, I feel like crap all day. My glucose numbers are through the roof. Nothing is right and there isn't a soul that can do anything about it except me. (Not even my doctor). I read every post and draw such amazing inspiration from all of you amazing people which really helps until I get hungry or busy (or both). I get a little tired of this small town with no gym, no sidewalks, etc. As you can see, I am not in a very good place. Tomorrow is a new day. Your note to me has meant a lot to me today, just to be noticed and not feel invisible. I really feel, in this moment, that tomorrow will be a better day and I will give you and all the other nice folks on this thread all the credit for that. I feel a lot of guilt when others try so hard and I give in so easily. Tomorrow I will try to set an example for someone else and help someone in the same way that I am so often helped here. Thanks for reminding me to stay positive and to look for the silver lining.5 -

Thanks ladies for the openness and sharing your successes and struggles. It helps to know you are not alone, and motivates to try a little each day. We all have ups and downs, restarting time and time again, but we are here to encourage each other! We will definitely make it with patience and persistence!6 -

@deepwoodslady Hooing today finds you in a better place.i do feel for you trying to survive a remodel. I did my kitchen and all 3 baths right before the pandemic hit. I had a great crew and they hit the schedule on the nose. Even so, it was very stressful and very difficult to try to eat in a healthy way. I was very happy with the results though and hope you will be too.4
