    I have hit a stand-still! This whole month to lose a little over one pound!?! I need to reexamine my food logs and exercise and see where I have gone off the treads and get back on! Maybe I will do better in June - I hope so! Up until this month I was losing a steady 4 to 5 lbs a month. I did have a fibro flare, which kept me from doing much of anything for about 3 weeks of this month, so that might have contributed. Oh, well, "never give up, never surrender"!

    5/8 197.8 Hate these weight plateaus!! Time to change something up.
    5/14 196.8 Still in a plateau. 1/2 marathon training in progress.
    5/21 198.2 Hey - wait... WRONG WAY!
    5/31 195.8

    - 1 for the month. First month not to have close to a 5 pound loss. But I didn't gain, figured out that 1800 cals is right about my maintenance level, and if I don't stay regular at the gym the weight won't go away! I'll be running my 4th 1/2 marathon on 6/2, then back at top intensity focus to drop the next 5 pounds. See you in the Lose 5 Pounds in June thread!

    Lots of my friends here have struggled in May - so proud of you all for continuing to stay focused and keep working. Some of you have had phenominal success! Love to hear from you - it keeps us all motivated. Congratulations!

    Goal weight on May 31st : 127

    5/01: 137.6
    5/07: 137.2
    5/14: 136.2
    5/21: 134.8
    5/28: 135.8
    5/31: 135.0 (hate zig-zagging so much from one day to the next! I need to get enough water daily)

    Well, this arm injury cut me out of exercise mode three weeks ago, so I suspect it has a lot to do with the zig-zaggy nature of my progress. I got to 133.4 at one point last week, so I don't even know what to say right now. I know I've not eaten enough extra calories to regain the weight, but haven't exercised nor drunk enough water. Watch, tomorrow I'll be back down to like 133. :grumble:
