Best of luck to everyone!
Challenge goal weight under 150
5/1 164.4
5/9 165.4 I haven't been doing great managing my snacking, need to do better.
5/16 164.6
5/23 163.4
5/30 166.6 ( I know this is the result of mindless snacking, and eating out of bordeom. Need to take advantage of the good weather, and get out more.) 2 months to still work the scale down.

Idk about the rest of you but the Memorial Day weekend was an eating disaster for me. I had a bridal shower on Sunday that was full of delicious fattening food, followed by Chinese food for dinner. Monday we went to a restaurant where I tried cheese curds for the first time.....scrumptious, followed by Buffalo wings. I will bravely get on scale on Thursday as that is my weigh in day but I do not have high hopes. Today I am hydrating with lots of decaf iced tea and water because it's about 100 degrees. I did get in a walk through the woods early so that's about all the exerting myself I am up for.5

@SunnyDays930 If it makes you feel any better I ate well and gardened a lot and I weigh1.4 lbs more than I did going in to the weekend. When summer hits I crave lots of fruit and salads and very little protein. The scale is always kinder to me when I eat more protein and fewer carbs but I never try to aim for that - I just notice it. So perhaps you will be surprised on Thursday that it isn’t as bad as you think.2

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!
May 23…..204.8…..(Trend Weight: 203.1)….. An overnight jump of 1.8 lbs. This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but I won’t make excuses. Some travel yesterday but I was there and back in about 4 hours so no meal out was necessary.
May 31…..203.4…..(Trend Weight: 203.6)….. Getting back on track a bit.

I was glad to see that the gains from vacation did not hang around too long. I've been doing a lot of gardening lately and hope to get back to the gym tomorrow. I plan to stay the course and hopefully these last few pounds will drop off before the end of the challenge.4 -

@SunnyDays930 I feel you! You're not alone.
We had the grands staying over at camp for 2 nights so of course there were too many snacks involved.
I managed to stay within my calories those 2 days but only by walking my butt off. After eating things I normally don't over the long weekend I am having trouble getting myself back on track and I feel bloated. I dread stepping on the scale Friday when it's time to weigh in.4 -

I am a 5'4" 60 year old retiree living in upstate NY. I started back up using MFP on January 3rd and have lost 33.6 lbs to date.
Thank you RubyRed427 for continuing the challenge!
Participating in the last 15lb challenge really helped to motivate me and keep me on track so here I am again. I will be weighing in no more than once per week and am switching my weigh in day to Friday since that works better for me during the summer.
I am setting my challenge goal for 15 lbs again. Not sure if I'll make it this time since summertime in and of itself is a challenge for me.
