Hope to see you all over there!
Thank you for your continued vigilance to keep this challenge renewed each and every month. It may not be a huge amount of work, but you always come through. Thanks. It's great.
You're very welcome. It definitely isn't any work at all - just some copy paste with a recurring reminder on my calendar. I don't know who originally started this challenge, but it's my very tiny way of giving back to something that helped me when I was starting on this journey.
It's lovely to see everyone's progress/journey.5 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: 70kg
May 1: 115kg
May 9: 113.8 Losing 1kg a week at the moment. Feels good.
May 16: 113.4 Been behaving but weight not dropping as anticipated. Still any loss is good.
May 23: 113.3 I don’t think I’m going to make this months target.
May 31: 111.6
-3.4kg for the month
So happy I started losing properly again after a couple of disappointing weeks. I haven’t changed my diet or exercise so I think my metabolism must have improved instead.5 -

F42, 5'4"
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
January Start Weight: 165.0
January End Weight: 157.6
February End Weight: 152.8
March End Weight: 149.2
April End Weight: 148.2
May Start Weight: 146.8
May Goal Weight: 144.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140.0
Ultimate Ultimate Goal Weight: 122.4
Trend weights are 7 day moving averages
May 1: 146.8 (trend 148.3)
May 8: 145.8 (trend 147.0)
May 15: 146.4 (trend 146.6)
May 22: 146.8 (trend 146.3)
May 29: Did not weigh
May 31: 146.2 (trend 146.5)
Total lost so far this month: 0.6lb
Total left to lose this month: 2.2lbs
I didn't get anywhere near my 2.8lb goal this month, but I'm fine with that as I have been keeping up with my strength training and walking targets, and my body shape is changing and getting stronger. I really want to push harder next month as I have a holiday in Portugal in 3 weeks and want to feel my best, so I'm going to give it everything I've got!

7.7 down! not too bad. I accept that Sundays and Mondays the scale rarely goes down. Weighing daily has made a huge shift in my attitude. I love the data!7 -
My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.
Start Weight (from April 30th, 2023 ): 192.6
Goal Weight: 187.6 (5 pound loss)
End of Challenge Weight: 194.8
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.

05/29-194.8-(Trend Weight: 194.9)- Travel yesterday. A big family BBQ today for the U.S. holiday. Do the reasons to eat off plan ever end? This is supposed to be a day of honoring our fallen heroes. Not a day of stuffing my face with food! Thank you to our Veteran's who never made it home and to all who have served.
05/31-194.8-(Trend Weight: 194.8)-This has certainly been a disappointing month for me. So many activities and celebrations which involved all the wrong foods! I gained 2.2 lbs. in May. Today I am traveling to a new movie theater much closer to my home than we usually have to go. It is 70-75 miles away each way and it is supposed to high-tech state-of-the-art. It boasts reclining seats, built-in food trays and high tech video and sound. I can’t wait to see The Little Mermaid today! I’m such a Disney nerd!
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
