I'm in for this month as well, 3rd month, been very encouraging in maintaining goals.
May Start Weight: 169.6
May Goal Weight: 164.8
Ultimate Goal Weight: 160
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.8 -

Frustrated, disappointed, exhausted; kind of hard to pick the primary one! I suppose a very small loss is what was achieved but it really feels like I am stuck and flailing away to no avail. Will research plateaus but my fatigue is making things hard right now. Congrats to everyone who achieved success this month in whatever way and let's start June off positively.8 -

Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
May 1 (Starting Weight): - 154.2 (10-day average 154.5)
May goal - 151
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.
May 1: 154.2 (10-day average 154.5)
May 8: 154.6 (10-day average 154.9)
May 15: 155.6 (10-day average 154.9)

May 31: 153.8 (10-day average 154.3)
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.

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 31: 206.4 Sad to be up 0.2 lbs. Lost and gained many pounds this month. That is not progress. It’s maintenance. Hoping for real progress in June.

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!
May 31: 240.2 A disappointing way to end the month, but not surprising. My weight eventually had to bounce up a little. I'll try to make my weight work with me next month 9 -

My name Sarah and I enjoy this group so I am in for another month!
I weigh on Thursday’s
I began my weight loss journey January 2021 @ 206 lbs.
I ended April @ 167.8 lbs
My May weight goal is 160 lbs
My ultimate goal weight is 145 lbs!
Good luck everyone and we can do this!
4/29: 167.8 lbs
5/6: 166 lbs...definitely feel like I’m retaining water so hope to see a slightly bigger drop for next week...but still happy for the amount lost this week 😊
5/13:161.2 lbs! Much bigger drop, almost too much 😳 Maybe scale is off but for now I will take it! Going to continue with several hikes a week, strength workouts at home a few times a week, and two intermittent fast days a week for now 😊
5/20: 158.6 lbs 🥳🥳🥳 This number has made me a bit more emotional than I was expecting! I joined MyFitnessPal back in 2014....I was 158 lbs wanting to lose 10....a lot has happened over the years and instead of losing I kept gradually getting heavier until reaching over 200 lbs in 2020....to see 158 on the scale was amazing since I haven’t been in the 150’s for 6 years....so now that I am back to where I started 7 years ago l am finally going to finish what I started ❤️
5/27: 157.8 lbs...a little less of a weekly drop from my normal but still a drop and as I get closer to my ultimate goal weight I suspected the loss amount would get smaller so still optimistic 👍
5/31: 157.4 lbs....exceeded my goal for the month and ready to tackle next months goal! Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!8 -

I'm thrilled to report that I traveled and lost weight! I think the key to my success was packing a cooler. I had veggies, hummus, fruit, non fat greek yogurt, laughing cow, and olives. I also packed crackers and wasa.
I drank tons of water and walked a lot too.
