Hi, I'm Charlene. I'm married; hubby Allen and I will be celebrating 40 years on Sunday!! We have 6 children (5m, 1f), and 9 grandchildren (6f, 3m). I'm 5'8" and will be 59yo next month. I'm a home caregiver for elderly seniors. I have many hobbies, currently sewing, bullet journaling, and doing my nails are the favorites. I have some health issues: polyautoimmunity, surmeno, and my cholesterol this last time was in the red.
My weight has fluctuated wildly through my nearly 6 decades. I was a tall, bony, skinny girl through my childhood and into young adulthood. When I was 30, I had to have a total hysterectomy from advanced endometriosis, and go on hormone therapy. That started a 50-pound roller coaster for the next 30 years, where I gained as much as 198 lb, got back down to my goal of 150, then gained most of it back, etc.
I've been on WW, low carb/Atkins, a couple Noom trials, etc. I've been on MFP for 12 years. From all that in 30 years, I can distill it down to 4 things:
-1, my husband still thinks I'm sexy! So I have zero pressure from him on this.
-2, I don't like how I look in photos when I'm a bit overweight. So all the pressure is totally internal.
-3, I don't drink enough water! I never have. I'm working on that, though.
-4, I just have to track what I eat, otherwise I eat mindlessly, especially when I'm bored and/or tired.
Ok so to summarize... And I won't post all of the above each day, but figured I'd follow everyone's lead with back stories...
My highest weight was 198 lbs in 2011
My goal weight is 150 lbs
My lowest during a diet was 148 lbs in 2018
April 30th: 182.3 lbs
May 1st: 183.6 lbs
May 2nd: 182.8

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
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
This Challenge Starting Weight (from April 30th): 185.6
Goal: 181.6 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this month: xxxxx**********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************
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.
05/01-185.4-(Trend Weight 182.3)- This is my birthday month and the best gift I can give myself is the gift of health. I’ll be working on keeping my carbs low enough to keep my diabetes in check. I’ll be working on calories also to assist in much-needed weight loss. I hope to get back into the 170's this round even though my actual goal is always a 4 pound loss per month which would keep me in the low 180's for May. So, I will aim for the 4 lbs and hope for over 5.4 lbs. A foot injury put me on a path of weight gain but things are improving on that front so there are no excuses not to step up my game. I hope that the Northern Michigan weather will cooperate and I will be able to get outside more and get in more activity. If not, I will work on inside physical activity. Good luck everyone this round. We got this, my friends!
05/02-185.4-(Trend Weight 182.4)- I did well all day until evening snack time. I stuck to my “approved” snacks but probably had as many calories and carbs in my snacks as I had in my dinner earlier. Not good. I recently bought a box of Elevation brand snack bars at Aldi’s. The calories are fair and the net carbs are very good (2 Net Carbs). The portion size is smaller than a normal bar or candy bar but it was so very good that I ate two. The taste and the 2 net carbs are so appealing that it makes them dangerous to be in my home. I probably will not buy them again until I feel I have better control of my sweet tooth. I had no exercise yesterday when I could have fit it in. Yes, I was pretty busy paying bills and such since it was the 1st of the month but realistically I know I could have made the time. I’m getting complacent with my food and lazy with my exercise and that is not the recipe for success. I am happy for no gain today and for feeling “enlightened” to my current behaviors. I hate the way these extra couple of pounds makes me feel both inside and out. I have already started my day with a workout video while I waited for my construction crew to show up. Today is already a better day. I am recommitting and plan on keeping all the promises I made to myself because I am worth it.

Good morning everyone! I have set a personal goal for myself this month to eat less processed foods and focus more on fruit and veg. So far so good! I have extremely unbalanced hormones and newly diagnosed hypothyroidism so my weight fluctuates like crazy. But with all my hard work it does eventually drop!

Happy May everyone! 🦋 I’m Kat and I live in rural NV with my boyfriend and 5 cats. I’ve been on a slow weight loss/fitness journey since February. This month’s challenges will be heavy workload and stress at work and renovations and other projects around the house with 10 days off at the end of the month to focus completely on renovations. My main goal this month is to not burn myself out with so much going on! Mostly healthy meals, exercising when I have energy, and a healthy focus on emotional/mental health.
SW: 122.6
UGW: TBD, ~105ish depending on muscle
5/01: 113.8 I’ve been recuperating from my crazy weekend and slowly coming back down. This weekend might involve another long drive which will throw me off again, but I will try to prep for it my exercising a bit more today and tomorrow.
5/02: 114.2 I followed through and did a good amount of exercise last night. I have a bit more to do tonight before I let myself shift into weekend mode.2 -

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. Back for another month with these wonderful people.
My goals for May:
⚖️ Lose 2% of my body weight my 4 pounds per month is getting really difficult now that I almost to my goal weight - but still am going to try to get that 4 pounds! Get into the 140s!
👣 Average 17k Steps
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range
💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
🧘♀️ Stretching routine - 3 days per week
🫀 Aerobics 3 days per week
💦 6+ glasses of water
🧂Stay under sodium goal
📖 🎮 or ME! Read, play a game or Me time daily
👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘♀️ 🫀💦📖 🧂 🎮 or ME!
Each Month I write a reflection on how the month went. Here's My April Reflection if anyone wants to read:April 2024 Reflection
April was basically a frustrating weight loss month; lost 1.2 pounds. Didn’t reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasn’t a gain. Started off the month with indulging on Easter, then took an overnight trip to see the Eclipse and was also off plan. Then mid-month realized I had a problem with my bathroom scale – apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while – new scale new weight and it wasn’t pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight – which who knows if that was correct. For May – my goal is to get into the 140s come hell or high water.
I have been successful with the exercise, averaging well over my 17K goal, and tracked a little over 250 miles again in April; year to date a little over 1,000; almost have way there. I am also on track for intentional miles with a little over 750 miles to date.
I have been keeping on plan with my cardio and strength routines. I alternate one day of cardio and then one day of strength. Although I do not like them much, I add one stretch type routine weekly. I have been having some trouble with some pain in my knees – so found a stretching knee exercise that I began adding daily at the end of the month. I have an appointment with the Doctor May 1 to see what she says. Hopefully, I can continue to walk and won’t have to take a break.
I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished “The Masked City” and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series – “The Burning Page”.
The next round of The Biggest Loser starts May 1. We have a full team, and I spent a lot of time in-between rounds getting ready. Looking forward to the start. The Hogwarts Challenge started; always a fun one. I rejoined Fat2Fit - I can do it.- My May Goals:
- Get into the 140 range!
- Log 150 intentional miles; and 250 in overall miles
- Alternate days of Cardio and Strength Training
- Stretch 3 days per week
- Average 17K steps per day
- Read almost every day
Here is my before and after picture for April. Not much different than last month but found a new before picture and took an after at the same spot.

May 1: 151.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 🧘♀️ 💦🧂📖🎮ME! A good day for me yesterday; got it all done and had some Me time. I love a new month - a fresh start; and so glad to be back.
May 2: 150.6 👣 📝 🥗💪 🧘♀️ 💦🧂 🎮 ME! A nice swish - hope it stays off. Still working towards that old scale number (had to replace the old scale mid-April and the new scale was ugly and not nice). As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. Nice day yesterday - moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Noone won, but it is always fun.
May 3: 152.2 👣 📝🥗 🧘♀️ 🫀💦📖 🎮 I should keep my mouth quiet when I have big downside - it always bites me in the butt. Busy day yesterday. Got our morning walk done, then worked in the garden most of the day. Spread the rest of the soil and turned it in. Got the carrots, potatoes, and parsnips planted. Cleaned up the screened porch which was filled with garden stuff. Exhausted, so of course binged a little - but with all the exercise today came just under my calorie limit - with binging of course went over the sodium limit.

I'm really sensitive to sodium and carbs. Salty potatoes are a particular weakness for me. It's fine that I have some, but I made a poor choice to eat them mindlessly. Ironically, while I was munching on said potatoes, I was making a really healthy chicken and veggie soup. But because of aforementioned edible nemesis, I was too full to eat dinner. So it was a gastronomic faceplant! Lol!! 🤦 But that's okay. Progress, not perfection.3 -
Kristin from Texas. 35 and 5’3, married with a 4yo boy. Trying to get back on track with my diet and health. Especially bc I go home in June for a visit. Weighing in every other day bc everyday messes with my confidence if I see an increase.

Ugh lots of rain here in Texas. Was able to get a 30 min treadmill walk in yesterday, but it was supposed to be my rest/tasty food day. That got spoiled with all the rain, roads flooded, and daycare closed early so I had to go get my kiddo. More rain today so need to be careful with my calories today since I won’t be as active, also school is closed so got my kid who will walk to the playground but that’s about it lol.5
