Glad to see that water weight coming down. I'm going back to work today; I really enjoyed our 10 day vacation. We will do it again probably in August when we start moving in earnest. I have a lot of sorting and packing to do in the mean time.
@iLive2Walk oh I'm sorry to hear about your knee! I hope insurance does approve for the MRI and some PT. I hope you're able to change your routine; would a water aerobics class work, to still get movement in?

Still trucking a long. A month and a half in, just keep looking at the overall loss. Itโs so much more fun to put it on then take it off. My normal clothes are still too tight/feel fat in them. I am hoping in 5 more pounds it wonโt feel that way, but I know I need to be in the low 140s for them to fit, but itโs so far away. At this rate another month and a half away. Anyways still trying to do an hour work out over lunch and eating a lot of protein.4 -

05/15-187.2-(Trend Weight 185.7)- What a crummy day yesterday was! A friend ended up having their transmission in their car go out 3 hrs and 45 minutes southwest of our town. I had to go pick her up and bring her home while her car stayed and was towed to a transmission shop! With so many hours on the road I ended up eating 2 meals out overall including one with her. I wasnโt home until 10:00 last night and hated driving in the dark! Not exactly how I expected my day and my diet to go but Iโm glad she was okay and that I could help. I am already working on making today a much more compliant day. Foodie daughter may be coming by after work. I hope she comes empty handed or that I grow a backbone.

SW for May - 305.4
GW for May - 299.0
May 1: 305.4 No water aerobics class today, as I was needed to watch my youngest grandchild (a 3 month old girl ) while my son and his fiancรฉ took care of some phone calls with the insurance company. They were rear ended by a pickup truck yesterday, (the whole rear of their car was smashed in) and thank God they came through it with only whiplash. The baby came out without a scratch, even though the back seat and her car seat were shoved all the way into the back of the front seat. They were very, very fortunate. My husband took us out to eat afterwards to a new-to-us restaurant. The food was really good, and while I ate mostly healthy and stayed under my calories for the day, I did indulge in some breaded and fried zucchini. So we'll see what that's going to cost me, when I weigh myself tomorrow.

๐ท๐ชปMay Starting Weight: 151.6๐ชป๐ทEach 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. Didnโt reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasnโt 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 โ apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while โ new scale new weight and it wasnโt pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight โ which who knows if that was correct. For May โ 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 โ 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 wonโt have to take a break.
I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished โThe Masked Cityโ and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series โ โThe Burning Pageโ.
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 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! 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 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ 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 ๐ฃ ๐๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ 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.
May 4: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
May 5: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฎ What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
May 6: 150.2 ๐ ๐ ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!
May 7: 151 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
May 8: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).
May 9: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ Ordered a new AC Unit - old one bit the dust. Busy day with the daddy-dos so had a hard tme fitting in the excercise - I felt very good about myself because I accomplished everything in my plan.
May 10: 149.8 ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! It's temporary, but I'll take it. Today taking Mom out for Mother's Day - so expect a rise tomorrow. Going to our favorite seafood restaurant. But I have seen the 40s and they look nice!
May 11: 150.0 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ Nice day with Mom yesterday to celebrate Mother's day. Today going to visit Greg's cousin (actually his Mom's cousin). Greg's Mom passed quite a few years ago, and his cousin is his closest Mom figure.
May 12: 149.8 ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ Missed my step goal, left the house at 6AM and didn't get back until 4PM - did get my workout done. I don't know how all you that work do it. I was exhausted and was just sitting chatting for 6 hours. Although I missed my step goal I did hit the 1,100 mile marker for my 2,024 in 2024 goal.
May 13: 149.8 ๐ ๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! I have been having some pain in my knees for a couple weeks now. When I had my doctor's appointment last week - my doctor said to keep walking, and referred me to an orthopedic doctor (appointment tomorrow). I have been pushing through to get my step and cardio goals done. The last couple of days, have been hurting a lot so slowed down a little. Just did a stretch workout and a couple smaller walks. I am anxious about what the doctor will say tomorrow.
May 14: DNW: ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! Well, yesterday after my walk - my knee froze up and now I can put any weight on it. Perfect timing - as I have my othopedic appointment today. Did not weigh because I can't step up on the scale. Using crutches - hope they can do something - but it looks like I won't be getting in those walks for the near future. I won't let it de-rail me. I'll have to do some upper body workouts unti I get it figured out.
May 15: 150.2 ๐๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Went to the doctor, arthritis in both knees, but concerned it could me a meniscus tear on left side (which doesn't show up on an xray). Have to wait for insurance to approve, then going for an MRI. In the meantime, stay off for a week or two, and ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Upper exercises, and eating less for the time being, and have to figure out my diet without having the exercise calories to rely on. Was a tad over yesterday. I did find some seated cardio and strength routines that I tried, but . . . .
May 16 150.4 ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Got it all done, except the steps (won't hit that for a while). I'm thinking the garmin overestimates the seated workouts calories. Feeling a little better, I can walk without the crutches. One step at a time. And I had TOO much ME time!

I had closed out my calories under my limit last night, but then remembered I had cashew ice cream in the freezer. I didn't eat the whole pint, about half of it. So I'm surprised my gain isn't any higher this morning.
@ozdeelite I hope that little bump on the scale is just water weight from muscle breakdown and recovery. Glad you got to the gym!
@ilive2walk glad to hear you can put pressure on that knee and not use the crutches.
@judefit1 great job on stabilizing at your goal!

05/15-187.2-(Trend Weight 185.7)- What a crummy day yesterday was! A friend ended up having their transmission in their car go out 3 hrs and 45 minutes southwest of our town. I had to go pick her up and bring her home while her car stayed and was towed to a transmission shop! With so many hours on the road I ended up eating 2 meals out overall including one with her. I wasnโt home until 10:00 last night and hated driving in the dark! Not exactly how I expected my day and my diet to go but Iโm glad she was okay and that I could help. I am already working on making today a much more compliant day. Foodie daughter may be coming by after work. I hope she comes empty handed or that I grow a backbone.
05/16-186.8-(Trend Weight 186.0)- I stuck to my pre-logged diet plan yesterday until my evening snack time. I only ate my planned choices for snacks, but I ate them twice. No, I didnโt forget I ate them, I just was still a bit hungry and wanted more so I ate them again about an hour later. Iโve done such extensive research and have been a scrutinizing shopper over the years. I have found some great things for my plan but I hope I donโt like them TOO much. I still saw a small drop this morning so I am relieved.

๐ท๐ชปMay Starting Weight: 151.6๐ชป๐ทEach 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. Didnโt reach my stretch or regular weight loss goal. At least it wasnโt 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 โ apparently, I have been underestimating my weight for a while โ new scale new weight and it wasnโt pretty. Worked hard the last couple weeks, and at least I got down to below my starting weight โ which who knows if that was correct. For May โ 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 โ 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 wonโt have to take a break.
I started re-reading the first book of the Harry Potter series, along with my Hogwarts Challenge. I finished โThe Masked Cityโ and am on the third book of the Invisible Library Series โ โThe Burning Pageโ.
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 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! 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 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ 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 ๐ฃ ๐๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ 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.
May 4: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง ๐ฎ Another busy day in the garden, also busy with a relay race in another challenge that I am in - kept me busy all day.
May 5: 151.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฎ What I expected (or a gain). Relay race for the Hogwarts challenge and the garden (finished) kept me so busy yesterday when dinnertime came I said I'm too exhausted to cook - we got subway, which has so much sodium, then I had pretzels, and cookies - ate all my exercise calories. Had two calories left for the day! I did take a beautiful walk in the morning yesterday along the Connecticut River and got this shot with the sun reflecting in the water - and they put the docks in, guess that means it's time to get the boat ready!
May 6: 150.2 ๐ ๐ ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! First smile in a while! I don't give them until I am under my last recorded low weight. Finally got under the old scale weight. Rested a little yesterday, didn't reach my step goal - but way over my 17K average goal. Tonight is bingo night with Mom- going to resist the junk!
May 7: 151 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice night with mom, noone won. I'm up on the scale - but was under my calorie limit and sodium limit - so thinking just normal flucuations.
May 8: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Nice day yesterday - super warm. Hubby had a PT appointment so got some me time while he was gone. Monty and I snuggled on the couch and watched MY tv shows. I usually watch them on the treadmill. It was nice. The scale is kind of being stubborn - showed me a little dance on Monday - but it was just a tease. We got the boat uncovered. We were going to wash it today- but got a call from Allyson this morning - she's having trouble with her AC unit - so going over for a Daddy-Do to see what we can do to fix it (or replace).
May 9: 150.6 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ Ordered a new AC Unit - old one bit the dust. Busy day with the daddy-dos so had a hard tme fitting in the excercise - I felt very good about myself because I accomplished everything in my plan.
May 10: 149.8 ๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! It's temporary, but I'll take it. Today taking Mom out for Mother's Day - so expect a rise tomorrow. Going to our favorite seafood restaurant. But I have seen the 40s and they look nice!
May 11: 150.0 ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฎ Nice day with Mom yesterday to celebrate Mother's day. Today going to visit Greg's cousin (actually his Mom's cousin). Greg's Mom passed quite a few years ago, and his cousin is his closest Mom figure.
May 12: 149.8 ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐ Missed my step goal, left the house at 6AM and didn't get back until 4PM - did get my workout done. I don't know how all you that work do it. I was exhausted and was just sitting chatting for 6 hours. Although I missed my step goal I did hit the 1,100 mile marker for my 2,024 in 2024 goal.
May 13: 149.8 ๐ ๐ฅ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! I have been having some pain in my knees for a couple weeks now. When I had my doctor's appointment last week - my doctor said to keep walking, and referred me to an orthopedic doctor (appointment tomorrow). I have been pushing through to get my step and cardio goals done. The last couple of days, have been hurting a lot so slowed down a little. Just did a stretch workout and a couple smaller walks. I am anxious about what the doctor will say tomorrow.
May 14: DNW: ๐ฃ ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ช ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฎME! Well, yesterday after my walk - my knee froze up and now I can put any weight on it. Perfect timing - as I have my othopedic appointment today. Did not weigh because I can't step up on the scale. Using crutches - hope they can do something - but it looks like I won't be getting in those walks for the near future. I won't let it de-rail me. I'll have to do some upper body workouts unti I get it figured out.
May 15: 150.2 ๐๐ช ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Went to the doctor, arthritis in both knees, but concerned it could me a meniscus tear on left side (which doesn't show up on an xray). Have to wait for insurance to approve, then going for an MRI. In the meantime, stay off for a week or two, and ibuprofen to reduce swelling. Upper exercises, and eating less for the time being, and have to figure out my diet without having the exercise calories to rely on. Was a tad over yesterday. I did find some seated cardio and strength routines that I tried, but . . . .
May 16 150.4 ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Got it all done, except the steps (won't hit that for a while). I'm thinking the garmin overestimates the seated workouts calories. Feeling a little better, I can walk without the crutches. One step at a time. And I had TOO much ME time!
May 17 151.4 ๐ ๐ฅ๐ช ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ง๐ ๐ฎ ME! Very frustrating. I found a bunch of seated exercise routines and reached my 100 minutes of intentional goal - but it really apparent that the Garmin must over estimate how much I burned. I think today I won't record any exercise on my Garmin and just have a really light eating day. I have an appointment next Thursday (Yes a long way out) for an MRI. I was going to cancel because it seems to be getting better, and then I said "No, let's just do it to rule out anything major."

Hey all, Charlene here. I'm 58yo, 5'8", married 40 years, 6 kids, 9 grandkids, and I'm a caregiver for the elderly so they can stay in their homes.
Goal weight: 150
April 30: 182.3

May 17: 185.3
I didn't log yesterday, I just estimated. Lots of excuses lately. But it's not the end of the world. It took years to put the weight back on, so it might take years to take it back off.
On the other hand, I did sort through half of a room, bagged up 3 kitchen trash bags full of stuff to donate, actually took it to my car, and actually dropped off the donations. I'm also making a spreadsheet of all our DVDs and boxing them up; I got through about 3/4 of those. Moving, like losing weight, one small step at a time.4
