    Looking to join and be accountable on reaching my goal ideal weight. Will start my logs on food, water intake again as I am sodium sensitive and part of reason for weight increase. I noticed the weight increase begin to elevate my pain daily due to edema in legs. If I can keep that sodium to less the daily recommended amount, the pain decreases and my legs are not swollen.

    Hope to learn more and have a buddy. Thank you and wish luck for everyone on their journey.

    Great to hear from you! We will start a new challenge on August 1. But until then, please post and participate when you feel like it.

    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.

    07/04-195.4-(Trend Weight: 197.2)- BBQ today so I will likely eat out of plan. I’ll watch quantity. I’ve already made some SF Jello with SF whipped cream so I’ll be okay on the dessert front. However, I WILL be adding some festive red & blue sprinkles on top!

    07/11-197.8-(Trend Weight: 196.6)- I traveled yesterday so this is not likely a true weight. It reflects quite an overnight jump. My trendweight shows that I have been doing pretty good this week. Now it’s back to basics and get this number back down. Much of it is likely water retention weight.

    I am a 5'3" retiree living in upstate NY.
    I started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.
    My final goal weight is 145.

    Starting weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs

    Apr 28: 159.6
    May 5: 158.2
    May 12: 158.4
    May 19: 158.6
    May 26: 158.4
    June 2: 159.3
    June8: 156.7
    June 16: 158.4
    June 25: 158.3
    June 30: 157.4
    July 7: 157.3
    July 14: 156.2

    Challenge Goal: 5 lbs (154.6)
    Challenge Actual: 3.4 (156.2)

    I was very excited to see over a pound lost this week. The only change I made was to take a recovery day off from exercising. Seems counterintuitive but I suspect I need 1-2 recovery days per week.

    Another 1.2 lbs and I'll be within 10 lbs of goal!

    Have a great week!
