Thank you! Progress on losing the last 15 pounds has been SLOW and more difficult. I log meticulously (almost always by gram--not guessing and not cups or ounces) and I use extra or banked calories for treats or big meals. I'm not exercising yet and I have no doubt that when I do start, I'll gain weight, but I expect the gains to be in lean muscle and not fat.5 -

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 38.8 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 weigh in day is Friday.
I am setting my challenge goal for 15 lbs again.

(I won’t be able to take it the next 3 days as I’ll be away from home). But THAT much water retention due to heart not pumping properly? Wow! So today is the ultrasound on the heart and I get hooked up to a heart monitor I will wear home for a couple of days. Then traveling even further south for some building supplies at a special store. Going with my son. When we hit the big city I promised him golden corral and we may try to fit in the Elvis movie. Scale will be up tomorrow from GC and lots of sitting but I plan on making it a nice day for the two of us. Watch what you put on the plate Donna!

Weigh in Update!
Main Stats
Highest Weight: 320 lbs
Current Weight: 290.2 lbs
Goal by August 1st: 280 lbs
Main Goal Weight: 220 lbs
Challenge Stats:
Start Weight: 290.2
June 24th: 288.4- loss of 1.8lbs!
July 1st: 290 lbs - gain 1.6 lbs
Total challenge weight loss to date: 0.2 lbs!
I think the gain is purely water retention from all of the heavy lifting this week from moving since I stayed under my calorie goal. However this week I am going to focus on creating a larger deficit.

CHALLENGE: lose 10 pounds by July 31st (13 weeks)
Highest weight: 330 (7/10/2020)
Anniversary weight: 243 (7/10/2021)
2nd Anniversary weight: ??? (7/10/2022)

Goal weight : 216.4 : desired loss = 10 pounds in 13 weeks
Actual weight : 226.2 : actual loss = 0.2 pounds in 9 weeks
I had hoped to break 220 by July 10th, and that's not going to happen, but I'm not deterred. It's when we aren't losing weight that we really have to strengthen our resolve, stick to it and keep going. I have signed up for an Endurance Run on July 9th. I'll be seeing how far I can run/walk in 3 hours. That's an hour longer than any walk I've been on previously. I'm thinking I might also be ready to join one of the day hikes organized by my Sierra Club chapter.
This is what I'm in for: DD-XI Dirty Dozen Endurance Run at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline
This will be my first time participating in an event like this. 😮🤔
