I am a 5'3" retiree living in upstate NY.
I started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.
My final goal weight is between 135-145.
Starting weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs
Apr 28: 159.6
May 5: 158.2
May 12: 158.4
Challenge Goal: 7 lbs (152.6)
Challenge Actual: 1.4 (158.2)
A small gain this week but I'm really not surprised after losing more than usual for last 2 weeks in a row. This is how it seems to go lately.
Going to Boston tomorrow with my daughter and grandsons and, while I know there will be a lot of walking, I won't have time in the morning for my usual workout. We will also be eating on the fly for both lunch and dinner so my goal for the day is to eat at or below maintenance.
Have a great week everyone!4 -
Hi everyone! I'm jumping back into this inspirational group this cycle. This group worked so well for me last year, but now the weight is going back up and it's a struggle. I've gained back 10 pounds. That's a red line. Glad to see so many are still here and new folks too. I'd like to average a loss of 1 pound a week. (Why is so much easier to put on than it is to take off?!) I'm in my early 70s and try to stay active and my favorite activities are dancing (aerobic) and weights. I live in the rainy Northwest. Good luck everyone!
Checking in on Wednesdays …

My diet went all kinds of sideways as we attended a lavish, food and drink heavy wedding this weekend. Big, heavy appetizers followed by a 3 course dinner plus a crazy dessert bar. Oh and a french fry bar at 9 pm. I guess this is a thing now. Anyway I was a stuffed as I could be. I will weigh in Wednesday as I am too afraid to look right now LOL.6

Bill, 75, vegetarian transitioning to vegan. Live in Southwest Michigan. Normally active but an injury sidelined me for a bit and it has been a struggle getting back on track. Working with my doctor to lose some more weight. 215 lbs. was my highest.

@Bill70sStrong Hi Fellow Michigander! I am from "Up North" Michigan but still in the lower Peninsula. Kinda in the boonies so I travel a lot for medical and such. I am originally from Southeast Michigan. Welcome to the group!3 -
My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 177.6
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM April 30th): 192.6
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
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
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.
05/01-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.2)- Good luck to us all. I know I’m going to clearly need it!
05/02-193.6-(Trend Weight: 192.3)-
05/09-194.2-(Trend Weight: 193.3)- It’s my 63rd birthday tomorrow. I really wanted to give my body better health, a better weight, a better outlook. 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.

@SunnyDays930 Thanks for the video. Very fun. If you enjoy low impact aerobic dance you might want to check out ZDancerLiz on YouTube. I've been doing her videos for several months now and enjoy them so much I signed up for her paid subscription service.

Still dealing with the aftermath of my trip to Boston last weekend. Feels like 1 step back for every 2 steps forward.
Have a great week!4
