I hope I have missed anything important. I’m still a bit behind with reading posts. I have been working on improving my sleeping pattern and am shutting down my tech early each night.
Shutting down early has meant that I haven’t had as much time for posting on MFP.
💗 Terri 💗
Working on getting back to the middle of my weight range. (130 < x < 140) I’m using weekly mini goal as weight fluctuates from day to day.
3 lbs challenge: (weigh less on 24th March than I did on 17th)
17/3: 137.824/3: 137,6 (0.2 down 👌🏻)7/4: 137.1 (Maybe my body is trying to tell me something 😝)(weigh less on the 14th fingers crossed 🤞)
25/3: 137.5 (Weigh less on 31st March than I did on the 24th)
31/3: 136.7 it’s been up and down for the last few days. But reasonably happy so far. Back to my pre-Christmas weight, but will go for the last 1lb.
1/4: 136.5 (Weigh less on 8th than on 1st April)
4/4: 136.5
14/4: 136.9.
30/4: 137.0 (still well within my maintenance window, but not much success in the3lb challenge. Let’s hope I do better in May.)

I didn't get goals posted today.It was a super busy, very active day. But, as a result I was so tired, and mindlessly grabbed and ate today 6 oatmeal cookies!! Yikes.. no wonder I have trouble losing weight.
All week I've been recorded and tracking my food. I can never seem to stay below about 1450 calories.. but hoping that would help get the scale moving. A day like today does not help.
I know I am a binge, emotional eater. But I had no emotions today. I was just super tired. I had a good breakfast, had ONE cookie and a protein shake for lunch, and a homemade chicken buritto for dinner. We keep the cookies downstairs in the downstairs freezer.. next to the washer and dryer. So while putting the clothes in the washer tonite.. I think to myself.. 2 cookies sound good. (Hubby wants me to make these cookies, because 1. they do keep us full all afternoon along with a protein shake, and he loves them. I make them with applesauce instead of butter, so there a tad bit healthier.
Anyhow... I go to put the clothes from the washer to the dryer, and I grab 3 more. I'm not even hungry.. just super tired from the day,and decided they sounded good.
But.. I will tell myself tomorrow is a new day, but I know my weight will be up. Its already not hardly moving during this entire 5# challenge.
A new month starts tomorrow... a new challenge. And I need to get this impulse, mindless eating under control... carry my water glass or something! But ... I logged all my food today in spite of cookies... my calories were 1872!! Yikes
Goals for tomorrow.5/1
1. log all food
2. record weight. New 5# challenge starts
3. stop mindless eating... distract myself.Name is Joan. Age 73; 5'11". Been married 47+ years, 2 children, 2 grandkids ( + 3 step grandkids)Weekly Weigh-ins
Lives in Missouri. I love to garden, go for long walks, quilt, sew charity stuff. My goal is to stay as "young" as I possibly can... to not only look good, but to feel good, have energy, be able to continue to get up and down gardening, biking, and walking.

I've asked Ash. Because I was honestly like wtf. It's obvious I've lost weight. I've dropped a dress size. I feel smaller. I still have alot of chub don't get me wrong.
His answer was I've built muscle.
Every exercise we have done has been predominantly weight training and he said if I had gained 10lb and was the size of a moose then he'd be concerned 😂
So I totally failed the challenge but won at life LOL

Went to mom's yesterday. That was weird, but not unexpectedly so. Tim made pot roast for dinner and we'll have beef and noodles with the leftovers.
Trying to figure out the schedule for next week with work and kids. Sierra needs us to get Gia and keep her for a week and then V is moving back for the summer. I already need to take a half day Monday for Tim's medical appointments. Then I need to squeeze the other things in on top of a very busy schedule at work.
Tonight is trivia with our team.

Hope everyone else does well and im still in for the next challenge! Even if my numbers are a bit squiff!
Ash is totally right Bex -- you have gained muscle!! And that is a good thing. The numbers are just that.. numbers. I weigh more now than I did 5 years ago.. but I am more fit. Everyone tells me I do not need to lose weight.. that I am in great shape. (Ha.. except hubby.. he tells me I have a tummy on me LOL).
So there is no way you could have gained 10 pounds... you have gained muscle. And to have dropped a dress size that is great news! So you are doing great!!Keep it up!! Ignore the numbers on the scale.. its all about how you feel, and I could tell from your posts that you were feeling great.. that your clothes were fitting better. Thats all that matters!! This 5# challenge is not just the numbers on the scale.. it is a challenge to get fit, which you are doing! Proud of you!1 -
You guys all did great on the 5# challenge!! So proud of all of you. Just think.. if we can keep this up, by the end of the year, even if we only lost 2# a month... we will all be in such better shape.
And .. a reminder.... losing weight is not just a number on the scale. There are so many factors that affect that number. I can get on the scale one day and be down 3#, and the next day be up 5#. It can be very discouraging.
But.. its how you feel. I know I feel better if I eat healthier. I know I feel better if I get in my exercise. I know I feel better if I drink my water. Those are the things that matter.
So, whether with this challenge you gained, or lost... we were all successful!! Very proud of you all!!
Lets have May be a great month!!!2 -

Recap 4/30 T
1) Month end measurements / log on MFP
not the results I wanted but done
2) Leftovers for supper? yes / log all food / 64+ oz. water
3) Walk dog 4.32 miles sun finally broke through, although quite breezy, happy dog & happy me
4) Wash dishes / read / call Mom ~ tried, no answer (later than usual) / choir rehearsal (early at 7 p.m.) / other? made overnight oats
JFT 5/1 W ~ another windy, gusty day but at least not solid clouds
1) Schwan's marinated salmon, veg & potatoes for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog
3) Wash dishes / fill gallon jugs from rain barrels / call Mom / Jeopardy Masters 7pm / Amazing Race 8:30 / other?
Asking for prayers for hubby's brother; he went to hospital this morning with chest pains.
5# Challenge (ended May 1): Not the results I wanted. Started well, then fizzled. I'm ready for the next challenge. Hoping the weather is decent for lots of dog walks.
SW 184 on 3/18/24
3/23/24 = 182.5 most likely sodium/water drop plus keeping portions proper
3/30/24 = 182 working hard to clean house & prep food for Easter dinner, no dog walks for one week due to that & weather
4/6/24 = 184 too many Easter treats & too few dog walks due to nasty weather
4/12/24 = 182 still some Easter treats, but more dog walks too
4/20/24 = 183.5 ack! too few dog walks due to weather & overnight travel, plus still some Easter treats around
4/27/24 = 182.5 still had Easter treats around
4/30/24 = 184.5 ate lots of eggrolls since pick-up on 4/27, hoping this is partly sodium/water retention

I have to go back and look at my starting weight, I weighed 195.6 this morning, I don’t know if I trust that or not, the scale seems to be all over the place. I’ll update later this evening. I’m in for another 5# challenge though.

@mytime6630 - Thanks for that! I'm sure it has more to do with all of the steps I've been getting since I started my practicum than the actual effort of weight loss for me. I'm hoping May will be better though.
I'm not going to post goals again until Sunday though, I'm not going to have time to be on often until then. I have ceramics tomorrow night and I've registered for a crop for National Scrapbook Day this weekend. It is Friday and Saturday 10am to 9pm. I've never done one before and I'm not sure I'll enjoy it, but it's worth a try anyway.

Did great yesterday...until I snacked on crisps in the evening. Why did I do that?!
I have my brother visiting for a few weeks, and he can eat double what I can, so any time I keep within calories when he's here is a win.
I'm not going to log today as I'm going out for lunch and won't know the calories.
