@mkksemail I get my trendweight from trendweight.com on my pc. I'm sure they have a phone app. I have it linked to my fitbit so once I enter my info into fitbit, it automatically feeds my trendweight.com info. A trend weight will really help to level off those mini fluctuations or even one day of indulgence (like a holiday weight). If it start going up, your doing something wrong too consistently! Time to make some changes! If it's going down, you are basically on the right track for continued weight loss. I like to see both weights.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I am going out to lunch with DD#1 today. My scale will frown tomorrow but it should hurt my bottom line by weeks end. I love spending time with her. She stays so busy and works full time. It's nice that she is carving out a little time for her mother!
@deepwoodslady / Donna
Ohhhh!!! I thiught it perhaps was a MFP feature that I hadn't yet learned where it was! I testing. Thank you 😊.
I'm also on Fitbit (MaryK K), if you'd like to connect 🙂.
That IS nice, your daughter carving out time for your birthday like that. How wonderful! Enjoy 🩷
Cheers!

Hiya all, I'm Rowan. My weight has been up, down, and all over the place over the last 10 years. I gained loads during the pandemic then managed to lose over 40lbs in 2021. I regained 26lbs in 2022 by taking my eye off the ball, it really doesn't take much for me to gain weight! So back again, working on getting back to a healthy weight and building my strength and fitness.
Ideally I'd like to be below 130lbs as that was my weight in 2015 and I felt good, but I'm a lot older now and it's hard!
Highest weight 180.8 June '21

Total lost so far this month: 1lb
Total left to lose this month: 1.8lbs
I am very happy with my progress this month, after losing only 1lb last month, I am already down 2.4lb from the end of April. I have to keep up the momentum though, as I need to lose a minimum of half a pound a week for the rest of the month to make my goal, and I'm usually a very slow loser! If by some miracle I manage to get to 142.5lbs this month I'll be thrilled, as it will put me at a healthy bmi at last!6 -

My name is Paula Jones and I am going with the flow this month instead of stressing so much about this weight loss journey! It has gone so far as to cause a tiny bit of issues with my husband who doesn’t understand why I want to lose weight even though I repeatedly tell him. 😏 I am married with 3 amazing kids! I’ve been with my husband since September of 2000.
I used to be EXTREMELY fit since my time spent serving our country in the US Army. I am now an obese 100% service disabled veteran experiencing a variety of health related issues primarily resulting from my weight and I have finally reached a point where I can’t take it anymore so I am taking a firm stand. I WILL lose and am losing this weight since I started going at my goals hard Feb 9. I have seen favorable results so far with my current strategy which is a combination of Noom, GOLO, and Intermittent Fasting (IF) with revolutionary changes being made to how I eat, what I eat, and why I eat. I weigh myself every day and tape various locations of my body once a week to help hold myself accountable and establish a way to thoroughly measure my progress.
I have already started including physical exercise and that could be some type of cardio and strength training exercises at home or me and my oldest son going to the gym for some cardio or circuit training taking advantage of the equipment. I’m ready to keep this train moving! Let’s do this AGAIN! HUAH!
Goals for May:
Workout cardio at least 3x/week (min 30 min) 🦵🏾🫀🏃🏾♀️
Strength training at least 5x/week
(min 60 min) 🦾🏋🏾
Reduce sugar intake to 6 g/day 🦷👩🏾🍳
Maintain fiber intake of 30 g/day 💩
Continue to execute morning & evening routines —which includes journaling & >20 min/routine sessions. 💆🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️
Start weight: 238.8 lbs
Goal weight: 175 lbs
May goal weight: 225.8 lbs
February end weight: 258.2 lbs (6 lbs lost)
March end weight: 245.8 lbs (12.4 lbs lost)
April end weight: 237.8 lbs (8 lbs lost)

Hello 🙋♀️
My usual place is Fitbit, but their food logging isn't top notch 😀.
I lost 30 lbs over 18 mos ... then I managed to gain it all back in about 3 mos 😖.
Starting again ... using my app time to food log instead of participate in challenges (Fitbit dumped their challenges about 6 weeks ago).
Here’s to beginning again 😀

Soldi start - I’ll take it😃! Of course, this is likely all water weight, bc I just re-started at the beginning of this challenge. This week, I’ll have to work harder to achieve a loss 🏃🏻♀️

I made this post for another challenge, but I'm so proud of myself for finally making the salads, that I'm sharing it here too 🤩😃 ...
Dry ingredients prepped - 12 containers ready 👏 -
Dry add-ins have:
Craisins
Dried blueberries
Black currants
Chopped cashews
Raw pumpkin seeds
Sesame sticks
Flax seeds
Edamame
Dried pineapple
Dried dates
Dried apricots
(We left out the dried figs - or, I should say, hubby helped me understand that was tooooo much! 🤪)
Wet ingredients added on top (separated by Saran wrap) - forgot to add the cherry tomatoes! -
Wet add-ins have:
Hard boiled egg (only in 10 of them)
Cottage cheese (in all 12)
Ricotta cheese (in all 12)
Avocado (only in 8 of them)
Four sacks of greens with carrot shavings prepped and ready! -
Greens have:
Red cabbage
Green cabbage
Romaine lettuce
Green Leaf lettuce
Kale
Cilantro
Carrot shavings
Cherry tomatoes (cherry tomatoes are not in the greens sacks, they're separate 🍅)
Hubby's salad - you can't see depth, but this is a small pasta serving bowl, not an entree sized plate 😳 (hubby loves salad). He has all his stuff mixed into the center, with more greens added on top. -
My salad - I do NOT love said, lol. This is a regular sized plate 🤪 -
We'll be eating these salads all week 🥗
