    Morning all, I'm Lis, 60 (for 3 more weeks!). From the uk but have lived in Spain for 22 years.
    Started my journey here in August 2021 at 276lb. Met my goal of 176lb before Xmas then promptly gained 20lb. 😳😳
    What's different is every other time in my life i would have given up and gained the entire 100lb back! Not this time 😁😁
    I'm back down to 182lb and determined to lose that last 6lb and maybe a bit more.
    Come on Downsizers, let's have a great month!

    Welcome!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I completely spaced weigh in on Saturday. It was my uncle's funeral that day and just wasn’t what was on my mind. Anyway, not sure what to do.
    Do I skip or do you want today’s? I’m ok with either.
    PW:193.1
    CW: 192.0

    My name is Renee and I am a now retired but still licensed nurse of 33 years. I can’t seem to give up that license just in case 😂. I am married with three grown boys two of whom are married, 3 grandchildren, and 1 more on the way and due in July. I can’t wait! It’s been almaist 8 years since the birth of our last grandson.

    My goals for April after looking back over the first three months of the year are
    #1 commit to a no sugar month again-it’s creeping back in 😞
    #2 Commit to three days of intentional exercise-it’s become non existent. I really don’t know what my problem is lately?! I’m losing focus!
    #3 try to find some time daily to just relax

    My favorite holiday is New Year’s Day. All of the stress, activity, and fun chaos of Christmas is behind me and I have a feeling of a fresh new start. It’s a day spent relaxing in front of the fire and watching football. My version of heaven😅

    Hi, Team! I'm Caryn. I'm 44 and live in NYC. I just got a new kitty, he's a tuxedo and he's absolutely adorable. I'm also in an acapella chorus that performs and competes. This is probably my sixth serious attempt at losing weight. I lost about 60 pounds when I first moved back to NY in 2019 but I gained it all back stress eating during the pandemic. I'm taking my time right now and trying really hard to form new healthy sustainable habits. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself and hoping to remain consistent.

    Favorite color: GREEN. I love green! I love how fresh and vibrant it is. I probably love a bright kelly green the best but I love all greens and now that Spring is finally here, there's green EVERYWHERE!

    To all the new Downsizers - welcome! @Jounee_hdl, @Mayzi61 and @Trillium54

    My 3/31 wgt was 136.2

    Goal weight is still gonna be 134 for April.

    I'm mostly vegan, struggle with salt related weight swings, and have a long term goal of losing 3-4 pounds to eliminate VAT fat to avoid the metabolic triad of related diseases. I'm currently on crutches which is NOT HELPING at the moment, lol

    I have fostered a lot of cats for the local no kill shelter. 25 and counting. I will start swapping out my photo with foster photos as I go along. So I guess my favorite color is calico! I'll switch my photo to a tuxedo! His name was Micky, and he was the cutest ever ;D

    On my way to get my MRI. The appointment is for midnight in a city 1.5 hours away. Hoping to go for a swim tomorrow depending on how tired I feel.

    April Goals
    Exercise 4 to 5 times a week
    Walk daily with a step goal of 5000
    Lose 2 to 4 pounds


    Steps 6023

    Hope it goes well. I really miss swimming :( We came to a campsite with a good local pool so i could swim. Been here a month and i haven't been once! Don't feel too bad about it as I've been hitting by 10k steps a day on a very regular basis. Promising myself I'll swim properly every day when the local pool opens in July!

    Why does my weight always drop loads the day after I weigh in? Is it just me?

    Oooh I bet it’s beautiful! And yes, my weight drops the day after weigh in too! This morning it was a while pound. However, mine always seems to go up and down until it lands on what it does on Saturday. Not to be too graphic but I think it has to do with BM’s 😂
