    April 10: 246.2 lbs :# 🥺😡
    April 17: 241.6 lbs 😃
    April 24: 239.6 lbs 🤬😓😥😰🥲 I actually weigh myself everyday so on the last day of the month if I have lost additional weight I will make a note and include that in my loss for the month. Otherwise, I would think it would create a weird gap from April to May that isn’t accounted for —except for at the very end of the challenge. I suppose.
    April 30: 237.8 lbs 😒😢

    April Actual: 237.8 lbs

April was horrible and May has not went as well as I had hoped. I’m disappointed. I travel today for my 4 month dental cleanings for myself and son. We’ll have a late restaurant lunch and do some shopping while out of town. I’ll try to choose carefully. Tomorrow is an art gallery and concert at the high school my grandchildren attend. I’ll be spending the evening with them. So many foodie things this week!


    05/16-193.6-(Trend Weight: 194.3)- The progress should have been much better but it was a foodie week. My Birthday, Mother’s Day and some general out-of-town travel. Hopefully this week will be better although I’m already on day 2 of travel.

    So this weeks a gain. Some off it is expected due to fluctuations and TOM.
    But some off it is just, my child had a birthday, my work treated us to pizza, friends invited us to barbecue and I have eaten some more than i should at every turn. But I am not going to sweat it. I am continuing my streak on logging and seeing what I am doing. Today is constitution day and rounds up the week of slip ups and I will start up a fresh and motivated tomorow knowing I have had plenty of easy mode this week.

    What a great idea for a challenge. I look forward to getting to know the MFP members in this challenge. I have been a member of MFP since November 17, 2016 but did not start to use it regularly until July 1, 2020. I had to look at my profile to refresh my memory. Wednesday's are my regular weigh-in. So I will start April 5th.

    What is going on with your blood pressure since you have to monitor it. I hope it progresses the best way.

    Family history of heart problems including my younger siblings. I have white coat syndrome so primary care physician said to take blood pressure readings 3 times in the am once a week for 3 months. This will give me an accurate average and if I need to increase my prescription. Thanks for asking.

    I think I finally figured out how to reply to a specific post - I tried once or twice before but messed it up. I also hope that everything with your blood pressure works out and wanted to thank you for replying to a post of mine a while ago. I'm 58 and this year I have really noticed that my weight gain has affected my health with higher blood sugars and arthritic pain. I am hoping that losing a few pounds will make a difference. Best wishes to you and good luck on your weight journey.

    Well, I didn't lose, but I didn't gain either, so that's something! My clothes are fitting better, so I think I have been body recomping, as I have been weight training for a few months. I have upped my steps and included a morning walk into my routine, but have also been eating more calories, so it's giving me a good idea of what it's going to take to stay at maintenance. I really want to lose 10 more pounds, but I'm finding it hard to stay disciplined in the evenings.

My Birthday, Mother’s Day and some general out-of-town travel, and a trip to the Emergency Room didn’t help my cause. Hopefully this week will be better although I’m already on day 2 of travel.

    05/23-197.0-(Trend Weight: 195.5)- I’ve really put some thought into this and decided it is a cross between laziness and depression. I just don’t feel like meal planning or cooking. I have a grab ‘n go mentality right now. When my depression sets in I really have a hard time following through with anything. No focus. Feet dragging the ground. A bit listless. I don’t have the energy to exercise, or plan, or research or do any of those things I normally do. I’ve really got to pull this together.

    So after the TOM came the whoosh. The whoosh would have been bigger if i had eaten as i should all along. But still it is a great progress. I have to reasons to slip up in June. But I will try to isolate it to those two days. And not fall into the trap of thinking. Well i will overeat tomorrow so today doesn't really matter. And I have leftovers from yesterday I should eat them. I tend to do that.
    This week I have been good. Either taken a hike or a turn on the elliptical everyday.
    For me weight loss is excersize driven. If i don't excersize I can eat very little if I want to lose weight. If i excersize i want less food.
    I see some argue that diet it kg's excersize is gram but in my experience diet is kg excersize is cm.
