Jude, 67 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable. My 4th monthly challenge!
previous months: April goals:
* continue to be thoughtful about food choices and logging to make sure I’m eating well.
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb/March- it gets harder, not easier, as the goal gets closer!

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March, and this group in April. This challenge is the first I signed up for on MFP, so it holds a very special place in my heart. 💖 This month is a year with some of these amazing people. 💖 I am so thankful for their support and accountability.

April 1: 152.8 👣 📝 🥗 🫀💦📖 I love the beginning of a new month. Feels like a fresh new start; a clean slate. I have noticed a pattern in my weight loss. I do fantastic the first week of every month, then I kind of get lazy and for two weeks and the weight loss slows. Then I see the end of the month coming; and Yikes - only one week to finish my goals. I usually finish out the month strong. This month I'm hoping to skip that laziness in the middle of the month. Keep me to it!

April 2: 152.4 😁👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 I added a new goal to my monthly, I will post whether I was under my daily sodium goal. It has huge affect on my daily weight flucuations, so if I am accountable for it, maybe I won't abuse it so much. Had a good night with Mom at bingo, she won (always a good thing), and I won twice last night. Had a brownie - put me over my calorie limit.

April 3: 151.6 👣 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️🫀💦 🧂 Silly me, I looked back at my entries - they should have been 152.x not 154.x. I guess I was stuck in that 154 range for so long last month it just got stuck in my brain. I fixed them. Dentist appointment this morning - not my favorite.

April 4: 151.6 151.6 👣 📝 💪 💦📖🧂 Busy day ahead today. We have to bring the car in for it's oil change. Then off to Sams Club for shopping. Then the grocery store to pick up all that we need for our Easter celebration this weekend. It's going to be rainy (and snow) day today, so inside walks and a HIIT workout are on the schedule. Then tonight going to a fundraiser for the Women's club/Firehouse. Hoping I won't binge too much.

April 5: 152.2 👣 📝 🫀💦 It's what I expected, had a little too much fun last night and the salt gets me everytime. I estimated and logged what I think I had - and MFP says I am under my calorie goal, but I'm not counting it as completed. I did manage to meet my exercise goals yesterday. Today's goal - get my outside walk (it's blue sky today), then some strength training, and a little treadmill tonight. I made a vow that I wouldn't watch any of "my" shows unless I was on the treadmill. I'm binge watching Jane the Virgin, and I have an episode of Ghosts that are calling my name.

Good morning! Just found this thread, so I this is my first post (although I started on this journey April 1).

I am quite likely the oldest person here (79). While I would like to lose the post-pandemic (plus a few more) pounds, my main focus right now is on making good food choices, with an emphasis on an anti-inflammatort diet. Second is to reshape my exercise regimen. I retired my last horse a few months ago and have not really replaced that exercise with anything else, although I do walk my dog every day. The final focus for me for April is to see if i can improve my sleep patterns. So, basically focusing on habits vs specific weight loss goals.

Looking forward to the daily accountability that this thread provided and to getting to know my fellow April travelers.

@jan110144 Welcome! I am so glad you jumped right in. It is truly great to see new faces, meet new supportive friends and share journeys. Best of luck to you in April!
