    April 26:231.50 Haven't done well the Iast couple of months but without this group it would be worse. The old me would just have left the feed and indulged worse than the rut I am currently in. :)

    Keep up with the trying. It's a small set back nothing major. No guilt. It is what it is. Recognize it and move on. I regained 14 lbs since mid-January but am of the mindset now to think about the 30 lbs I've kept off since last May instead. Journey on.....

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    March 30 (Starting Weight): - 142.6 (10-day average 143.6)
    April goal - Maintain current weight
    Ultimate goal - Range between 138 - 148

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

    March 30: 142.6 (10-day average 143.6)
    April 28: 148.0 (10-day average 145.2)


    Total loss for March I didn't check in this month since I was rafting the Grand Canyon. I was below the rim 23 days, plus there were travel days on both ends. No scales down there. Even with all my activity, I managed to gain weight and am back to normalizing at my goal weight. I hope to get there in May.

    Sometimes we have to just live our lives to the fullest and enjoy ourselves. And it's not always convenient to stick to our program. But we can enjoy with no guilt and get back to it when we return to our norm. Sounds like a great trip! I'd love to go rafting but hubby has a spinal cord issue so it'd be no fun without him. Glad you had a fun time. That's what lifes' all about.

    F42, 5'4"

    Highest weight 180.8 June '21

    January End Weight: 157.6
    February End Weight: 152.8
    March End Weight: 149.2

    April Start Weight: 148.8
    April Goal Weight: 146.8
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 140.0
    Ultimate Ultimate Goal Weight: 122.4

    Trend weights are 7 day moving averages

    April 1: 148.8 (trend 149.5)
    April 8: 149.6 (trend 149.4)
    April 15: 149.6 (trend 149.9)
    April 22: 149.0 (trend 149.8)
    April 29: 145.8 (trend 148.6)
    April 30: 148.2 (trend 148.5)

    Well, I didn't make my goal, although I had 2 days recently where I was below my goal, so I have confidence that I'll get there and stay there soon. I'm down 0.6lbs and my trend weight is down 1lb, so that's good. I haven't been putting in enough effort this month, I have been over calories more often than not and have been allowing alcohol and carby snacks to sneak back in. I have been consistent with strength training most days and have made daily walks a part of my routine, so that's something! On to May and better discipline πŸ™‚

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Start Weight (from March 1st, 2023 ): 191.6 (Re-doing March in April due to health issues)
    Goal Weight: 186.6 (5 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Weight: 192.6
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    04/12-193.2-(Trend Weight: 192.0)-

    04/16-187.4-(Trend Weight: 191.6)-

    04/30-192.6-(Trend Weight: 191.8)- I’m up one full pound this month. I thought I was dieting to lose weight????? Ok, moving on. Next month will be better. May is a month of celebrations. My birthday month, Mother’s Day, Memorial Weekend and lots of travel expected. But I’ve got to do better when and where I can. See you in May!


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
