Welcome to our new friends!
Nice to see the progress you are making and I like the tips!
I met a goal this week: hiked 2 times in the woods and went on a bike ride -14 miles today. I won't be feeling that good tomorrow at work- I know I'll be sore, but it was good to sweat and ride near a river, in a tunnel, under bridges... such beautiful scenery.10 -
Mary 65 now, from Pennsylvania.
Heaviest weight 255 lbs, twice. :-(
UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.
9/14/20 SW-255 lbs
5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
5/14/21-232.2 lbs started MFP and Low Carb/1000-1200 calorie while recovering
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs

12/26/21-165.6 lbs
1/1/22-168 lbs
2/1/22-157.4 lbs
3/1/22- 155 lbs
4/1/22- 156.4 lbs :-(
5/1/22- 158.8 lbs. :-( No way is this actual with all the Elliptical miles Friday, yesterday and stayed way under calories for what I was allotted. Hoping for a whoosh soon. Did Elliptical 300 minutes for 22.3 miles in first session and 54 minutes for 4.2 miles for 26.5 miles total today. Hopefully that gets me heading downward again. (Did long times on Friday 228 minutes and Saturday 240 minutes too.)
5/8/22- 148 lbs :-) So glad for the whoosh of water weight to be gone!!!
5/15/22- 159.6 lbs. Well a short lived whoosh! I know its mainly water weight. Had more carbs than my usual the last 2 dinners. Glad I didn't hit the 160's! Elliptical today 130 minutes for 10 miles.

@swimmom_1 I have seen other folks comment on different threads that they retain a lot of water when they begin new exercises/exercise harder than usual. You are making extremely good steady progress, and it is not unusual after losing weight for a while for your body to recalibrate a bit, so I wouldn’t get worried because of a momentary blip and punish yourself with an entire weekend on an eliptical trainer. And definitely don’t under-eat. Unless you are a superwoman, if you spend 12 hours on an eliptical trainer with insufficient calories, you’ll just set yourself up for injury and fatigue and screw up the progress you have been making.
ETA if i understand you correctly you are saying you ran the equivalent of two marathons in one weekend while eating way less than the 1200 calories MFP recommends/allows?5 -

My name is Donna and I am 62 years old. I live in the Midwest of the USA. 5' 5" tall. My starting weight was 253. I have relapsed in the past year and need to get back on track. I am type 2 diabetic and in remission for breast cancer. Health is my #1 priority.

Start Weight: 203.2 (Weight on April 30, 2022)
Goal Weight: 188.2
End Weight: xxxxx
Short term goal: To lose about 5 pounds per month.
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
May 01…..204.6…..(Trend Weight: 202.5)….. Let’s make this a great month, Personally I really need this month to count.
May 02…..204.6…..(Trend Weight: 202.7)….. I should have done better but I couldn’t get satiated yesterday. I think my bigger body is fighting for more food so I am going to have to plan more volume with less calories and carbs to get through this. According to Fitbit, I’ve had more sleep last night but I feel hungover. Is there such a thing as a food hangover?
May 09…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight: xxxxx)….. Birthday Week! I just couldn’t get full last night! Luckily I had a good day full of mindful choices which ended up offsetting it. Down 0.2 is better than the gain I expected. Especially on Mother’s Day! I’ll be watching the scale, sometimes it creeps up later!
May 16…..203.4…..(Trend Weight: 203.0)….. Somehow I didn’t past last week? Strange…..Anyhow, It’s been an up & down week with my weight showing lower than 2 weeks ago and about exactly the same as last week. The goal is progress, not stagnancy! (Is that EVEN a word?). I’ve got to dig deeper this week!

Back for my 4th round of this challenge! Thank you RubyRed.
Goals: meet "best for me" weight: Maybe low 120s - not sure. Add meditation and breathing sessions to manage stress. Keep adding back muscle with weight training. Get my blood glucose and cholesterol to acceptable levels. (recently diagnosed with "pre-diabetes") Age: 72 but feel 45
. Live in rainy Oregon.
Beginning weight at August 1, 2021 “15 pounds to Lose Challenge”: 150.5
April 30 weight: 127.5
May 2 - 127 (-0.5) (reinstated exercise program after 1 week off.)
May 9 - 126.5 (-0.5) 10-Minute meditation sessions: 3
May 16 - 126 (-0.5) - I’m going in for a blood test in about a week. Hope those glucose and cholesterol numbers reflect this weight loss and hard work. So tired of the low carb, low sat. fat food plan I could scream . . . so it better be working as well on the inside as it is on the outside!
