    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 19: 183.3 ๐Ÿ˜€
    May 20: 183.1 ๐Ÿ˜€ I'll take it!

    It feels like July, here in the Midwest USA, east of Ol' Muddy. Unseasonably warm. ๐Ÿ”ฅ But on the bright side, the insects aren't bad yet and the cicada-geddon hasn't hit us, so far! ๐Ÿคž

    Well, we have a problem with Clora Mae. Hahahaha, ok that's an understatement with a 35 year old motorhome. The stories I could tell about the work we've done on her; but I love that work - so. Yesterday, dead chassis battery (that's the battery for the engine, like in a car). When we were giving it a jump start with hubby's truck, I noticed the chassis panel light came on - and wouldn't turn off when I flipped the switch to the off position. So somewhere there's an electrical issue that has drained the battery over the winter. We disconnected it and brought it home, and put it on the trickle charger; the battery is relatively new and we think it's still under warranty if we need to replace it. We'll be back out there this afternoon, after I get off work.

    @kebass01 YAYYY below 155! sooo close! Is there anything you can do to push toward those 4 pounds? Do you need to go to bed a little earlier? Drink more water?

    @deepwoodslady aww thank you! I feel like a stowaway in everyone's lives here, too; I agree about it being motivating! I love hearing people's stories every day.

    Also, about feeling overwhelmed; and how it seems ridiculously easy to put pounds ON but also ridiculously hard to take them OFF. Our biology isn't logical in that! ๐Ÿ˜‚ But, hey, you can do this! Patience, my young Padawan... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Remember how far you've come. โค๏ธ๐ŸŽฏ

    @lislisa123 hooray 5 pounds lost this month, so far! You're doing great!

    @kountrykat how's the prep for renovations going? Do you start your time off today to begin doing that in earnest?

    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 20: 183.1 ๐Ÿ˜€ I'll take it!
    May 21: 182.2 ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฅณ

    Well, it took me 3 weeks to recover from anniversary and vacation eating. I'm now below my April 30 starting weight. I actually feel like a few weeks is not too bad, in the big picture of things. I am being more mindful with logging, and being intentional about staying within my calorie allowance, and not eating my exercise calories.

    So Clora Mae. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ˜ญ
    Yesterday I mentioned the battery was dead, and we took it home to charge it. When we hooked up the charged battery, the engine started right up! But, the starter wouldn't disengage! We turned off the engine and the starter kept going; we could smell it burning itself out. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคฏ

    Normally, this setback would mean we'd come back with hydraulics, jack up the front end and get under there to replace the starter. But we're moving in 2 months, and we just don't have the time anymore, to chase down whatever electrical problem she's got that caused the starter to do that.

    We sat together on the sofa, and talked about what to do. There's still life in her, so we put a listing for her for sale cheap, but if we don't get any bites by the weekend, we're going to try to donate her to a charity. We're both really gutted about this, but it has to be done.

    My name is Donna. I am 5โ€™ 5โ€ tall, 64 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!
    250โ€™s; 240โ€™s; 230โ€™s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180โ€™s; 170's; 160's; 150โ€™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 itโ€™s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itโ€™s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    05/20-188.2-(Trend Weight 186.5)- I enjoyed the outing yesterday. It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day. I spent some time thinking about where I am going wrong these past two months and I have some ideas and unfortunate changes to make, at least while Iโ€™m going through my funk. It starts today. Feeling pretty frumpy. Goodbye Frump!

    05/21-188.2-(Trend Weight 186.7)- I made ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE food choices yesterday thanks to some food my workers brought in to share. I really should have used my โ€œno thank youโ€ manners! I was under calorie for the day but the carbs were through the roof. I ended up going without a proper dinner last night just to make up for it. Luckily it did not put me into a sugar drop binge or a hungry without my dinner binge. I really need to see a drop tomorrow on the scale so I will be pre-logging my food today to help me stay focused.

    ๐ŸŒธMAY DAILY WEIGH IN๐ŸŒธ

    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 <3 ) 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.

    I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your kindness and and encouraging comments. I wish I had the time to respond, but between life and the other challenge I'm in, I just don't have it in me to do more. But really want to let you know how greatful I am, this challenge has helped me stay on track and take notice of what works and doesn't, and really see the progress.
    Thanks Again๐Ÿฅฐ
