💐May Daily Logging and Weighing Challenge💐

@BittersweetVita How is the couch to 5K going? What week are you on? I am trying, but my ankles and knees don't like it, so I have been kind of doing my own version. I do each week two to three times, powerwalking instead of running for some of the runs. I'm on week three. My ankles and knees still don't like it, so don't know if I'll ever get there. Was thinking about stopping until I get a little lighter and then try again, or just stick with total powerwalk. What do you think?1

@39flavours How long have you been on this weight loss adventury. Did you start in January, or before? What is your ultimate goal? Where you are is where I hope to be someday, just wondered what your journey was.
Hiya, welllll.... I joined MFP in 2011 and have been off and on since then. When I first joined I was about 140lbs, trying to get down to 130lbs, I don't think I ever made it that time. In 2015 I went from 148lbs to 129lbs, which took me about 7 months, but I gained it all back pretty quickly. In 2018 I was up to around 168lbs and got down to 150ish but then fell off the rails. In July 2021 I had gained a lot during the pandemic and was up to 180lbs but I managed to lose over 40lbs, thanks greatly to participating in this challenge and a few others. Then regained 26lbs in about 10 months, which took me to this January, when I started yet again! So I'm a classic yoyo dieter I'm afraid, and this time it feels a lot harder to shift the weight but I'm doing my best to be more sensible, as last time I took my calories far too low (800!) and really messed up my metabolism, as well as losing a lot of muscle. So this time I'm not dropping below 1200 and making sure I prioritise maintaining muscle.2 -

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
My mini-challenge is to lose 6 pounds between My birthday and July 4th. My birthday morning weigh-in (May 10th) was 195.1. I hope to be at 189.1 by the morning of July 4th, 2023.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!
My goal for May is to get moving! I am such a procrastinator when it comes to this and I set it as a goal every month and NEVER do it. The weather should cooperate now.
May goals:
💥Walk 3x/week
💥Lose 4 or 5 pounds
OSW: 250
OGW: 150
5/1/23: 199.7
5/31/23 goal: 195

5/12: 197.8
5/13: 197.8
5/14: 197.0 *walked*
5/15: 197.0
A new week. I’m very disappointed in myself that I have only intentionally walked 3 times this month when my goal was 3 times a week.
5/16: 196.4
I am losing but it seems sooooo slow. I lost 50 pounds last summer/fall and it seemed to go faster than this. I will have to look back at my weight log and compare to gain some perspective.

@deepwoodslady Thinking of you, rest up, lots of fluids! Sending virtual hugs!
@nanerkay Thats amazing loss! Good job, I’m glad your leg feels better!1 -

16 - 235.0 lbs (LOWEST WEIGHT I HAVE BEEN IN ABOUT 5+ YEARS) 🫡🤭😎🥰. I am working to get myself back on track and not let my emotional and mental state hinder me, but use my efforts to lose weight to support my mental & emotional state. It is the one thing I can control in my life & damnit I’m taking the reigns! I have been working out more though at home doing some grueling circuit training to work through some aggression and use that energy in a positive, body transforming way. I’ve added some new supplements to my repertoire and time will tell if they are effective. I did extensive research on science backed research study results to see which ones showed marked improvements in studies that seemed to be setup in a fairly solid way.

@39flavours I think most people have the same problem with the yoyo dieting, I'm confident you'll do it forever this time; slow and steady wins the race. This time is it for me too. I think I'll stay on MFP for the rest of my life, weighing in daily and posting to keep me accountable. If I continue to weigh everday, if I gain a couple pounds I'm hoping that I'll notice it right away, say "what are you doing" and get back on the wagon. But just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your story. Your persistance with logging win or lose is wonderful. "Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit." Edwin Louis Cole - You got this. 😁3

@deepwoodslady Oh no, I hope you are feeling better. Rest, and lots of fluids.
@nanerkay Fantastic job!
@joans1976 "It does not matter how slow you go, so long as you don't stop." Confucius. I also read somewhere that taking it slow reduces the amount of excess skin!

I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. I started a few challenges last month to see which ones I liked, this is one that kept me accountable so I am back! Looking forward to see what May brings!

I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.

Hello! I am Amanda, I am back in for the month of May! This is an inspiring group!
My goal for May is to get moving! I am such a procrastinator when it comes to this and I set it as a goal every month and NEVER do it. The weather should cooperate now.
May goals:
💥Walk 3x/week
💥Lose 4 or 5 pounds
OSW: 250
OGW: 150
5/1/23: 199.7
5/31/23 goal: 195

5/15: 197.0
A new week. I’m very disappointed in myself that I have only intentionally walked 3 times this month when my goal was 3 times a week.
5/16: 196.4
I am losing but it seems sooooo slow. I lost 50 pounds last summer/fall and it seemed to go faster than this. I will have to look back at my weight log and compare to gain some perspective.
5/17: 196.0
Things seem to be moving again. I have actually been eating 100-200 calories over my goal the last few days so maybe that is helping. A foreign concept to me, eating more to lose more but I’ve heard it works. I looked in the past, I am losing at a substantially slower rate than I was last summer/fall but my body has been through a lot since then. I need to give myself some grace but it’s so hard.

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
My mini-challenge is to lose 6 pounds between My birthday and July 4th. My birthday morning weigh-in (May 10th) was 195.1. I hope to be at 189.1 by the morning of July 4th, 2023.
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
Starting Weight (from April 30th): 192.6
Goal: 187.6 (Five lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight:
**************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************
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.

05/15-193.8-(Trend Weight 194.1)- So very very sick the past couple of days but Covid negative. Blood pressure is way too low again and my throat is swollen up pretty bad. Knocking me off my feet and into bed. I will catch up on posts later.
05/16-193.6-(Trend Weight 194.3)- I ended up going to the emergency room yesterday. I have a strep throat and the infection is what threw my heart off. I’ve been given an antibiotic, must closely monitor blood pressure and heart rate. De-stress and rest. That is easier said than done. So today is another day of travel for me. About 2 hours away to the endocrinologist for my diabetes. I’ll try to rest tomorrow Wednesday before the babysitting marathon begins again on Thur, Fri and Sat. Sunday off this week. No rest for the weary, as they say.
05/17-196.2-(Trend Weight 194.7)- Are you freaking kidding me???? I know I’m not getting any exercise in due to being sick, but this is Ridiculous!!! Travel two days in a row with restaurant food too, but I could hardly eat since swallowing was so hard. Ate less than half my meals and threw the rest away! Antibiotic is helping make my throat feel so much better already. I would finally be able to eat and drink better, but I won’t. Not after this! I also wanted to get lots of rest (lazy day) to allow me to heal, but I won’t do that either. Not after this!

@deepwoodslady Hope you are feeling better soon. I read this today which could be leading to your gain. Cut yourself some slack, and give your body time to recuperate. It will probably come off in a big whoosh when you feel better.There is evidence that antibiotics can modify the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome and that this may contribute to body weight changes.2

Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January. I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. I started a few challenges last month to see which ones I liked, this is one that kept me accountable so I am back! Looking forward to see what May brings!

8 - 199.4 -
9 - 198.6 - 😁
10 - 197.2 - 😁😁 That one deserves a double Woo Hoo! Probably be up tomorrow! LOL
11 - 198.2 - Called it! But I still like the May trend. Have a couple of challenging days ahead. My daughter is coming over tomorrow night. We are celebrating her birthday and Mother's day. She is spending then night, and then we all will go to my Mom's to take her out for breakfast for Mother's day. Hoping to make some good choices.
12 - 197.6 Thinking that scale was wrong on Wed; but getting back there.
13 - 197.8 What I expected. Went out with the family last night for dinner. Didn't really think I overdid it, tried to estimate the calories for MFP, and was under calorie range, but think that it was probably salty. Have breakfast with Mom this morning, then I hope to eat light the rest of the day, and get in my excercise, walk Monty. Hoping it's down tomorrow.
14 - 196.6 😁
15 - 196.4 😁
16 - 196.4 😐
17 - 196.6
18 - 196.8 Although I am up today, I'm giving it a neutral face as I expected it. Was out last night with my sister and her husband. We are on a trivia team and get together every other week for dinner and trivia. We aren't very good, but have a wonderful time. I was mindful of what I ate during the day, and made wise choices. Still stayed within my total calorie range, but I notice that if I use all the calories gain from exercise I tend to go up for a day or two. My normal goal is to use only half of them. I am also giving myself a😁. I organized my walk in closet yesterday. I tried on a few things that I haven't been able to wear for a few years and low and behold some fit. 6
