😀😀😀*** MAY 2021 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

I'm in.

44 year old female at 5'0

May Start Weight:243.6
May Goal Weight:238
Ultimate Goal Weight:135

May 1: 243.6
May 8: 243.2 Pretty disappointing loss here considering I've been staying under calorie every day. But, I'm going to keep plugging away at it:)I know it's about the journey, not the destination.
May 14: 241.6 Finally broke through the barrier of going up and down within 1/2 a pound. Currently down 2 pounds for the month! WOO!
May 22: 241.4 A little sad about this. At one point, I was down another pound at 240.6, but I bounced back right away and haven't gotten that low again. It's gonna feel amazing when the second number starts with a 3. Oh well, at least it's a loss:)
May 29: 238.6 I've lost 5 pounds! And finally in the 230s! It's been years (sadly) since I've done that. Feeling good and looking forward to next month!

My name is Donna. I am 60 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US.


Start Weight: 206.2
Goal Weight: 201.2

Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



May 01: 206.6 The ups and downs of this journey! “Oh, the places you’ll go” Dr. Seuss

May 08: 208.6 Not such a good week. Weight affected by some travel and it’s sticking. I’ll have to cut some more corners as it is being stubborn! It won’t be easy with Mother’s Day and my birthday on Monday.

May 15: 206.6 Working my way back down. I am almost to starting weight now that my celebrations are over. Looking to get into the 205’s soon.

May 22: 209.6 A horrible week filled with high sodium.

May 29: 205.6 I worked hard on portion control and better choice meals. My snacks are still not what they should be but I am a work in progress. I am thrilled with the progress this week. Pizza tonight for an early holiday meal with daughters as they are busy on Monday with in-law families. Fasting today and pushing water to offset an indulgent dinner. My final weigh in is last day of each month so I will be posting again on Monday.

May 1: 170.5 oops, .9 lb bump up from yesterday.
May 8: 168.9 Tough week, up to 171.5 on 2nd, slow crawl back down, lost most (1.9 lbs) this morning
May 15: 169.6 Another tough week, still at April end weight. Recomp starting to show. Same weight last 5 days
May 22: 167.1 Surprised, a loss of 2.5 lbs for the week. Did not due weights this week.
May 29: 167.3 Rough week, was down to 166 yesterday, been up and down all week.
May 31: 166.3 Rate of loss definitely slowing as I approach my goal. Hopefully one more month and reached.

Started to add back in exercise calories this week after finding myself exhausted end of day as the result of having a 1200 to 1500 calorie deficit per day. Still trying to keep around a 500 calorie deficit per day. Walking 12KM (7.4Miles) per day now.

Since Jan 1 this year body fat has dropped 7% while muscle mass is up 6.6%, so I can't complain about this months results. Still sticking to a 500 calorie deficit per day, modified carbs, fat, protein ratio to 40/30/30 at the start of this week after discovering my energy levels were dropping in line with carb consumption last month.

Very impressive how well everyone is doing with this challenge, so glad I found it and jumped in.

Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

Total loss for May: Just about the smallest measurable amount for May - 0.2 pounds. Maintaining around this weight with small fluctuations since January, and maybe I'll change my goal a bit instead of fighting that same eight pounds over and over.
