Total lost in March: 3.8 lbs (Focusing on the fact that this is a LOSS, just not as much as I wanted)
Disappointed that I did not make my goal of 5 lbs lost this month. My body has been stuck on a plateau for the past three weeks, despite the fact that I have eaten well, tracked all my food faithfully, exercised every day for at least an hour, and been under my net calories every day. Every time I read that you just have to eat at a deficit every day (burn more calories than you consume) and you will lose weight, I feel annoyed. I think if weight loss was that easy, then I would be sitting at my goal weight. According to MFP, I am eating enough calories to lose 1.5 pounds per week but I only lost half that, this month. My NSV is that despite the fact that my body is not willing to give up the pounds, with all the exercise I am doing, I have lost 4 inches off my body this month, for a total of 9.25 inches lost in the last two months! Clothes I could not wear all winter, I can now wear comfortably. So, YAY ME! Onward to April!
3.8lbs is still a great loss, and as you’ve said, you’ve lost some inches too!! Try not to depend on the scales too much, because you are probably still losi the fat, but some of it will probably be replaced by muscle so the scales show the same number.
Muscle weighs more than fat, so with the muscle gain and the fat loss, your still shrinking
Well done for all your hard work this month hope to see you in the April challenge x 1 -
Yeah !!! Thanks so much for this blog. Was able to make it to my goal for this month
I'm going to try for next month too... Lots of challenges in the works; but I'll give it a try. 0 -

This may be a day early...But March is done!
It has been a good month. The pounds have been slowly melting away...right as planned. Even with the silly Nor'easters that shut us down for a couple of days three times, everything managed to work out a-ok. Stuck with bad roads, no power, and darkness...that could have been a time to EAT...a lot.
NSV: What! these pants fit. Nice!
Great numbers on blood tests.
Feeling really good about March. Now on to April.
Keep up the good work1 -

3.4 total weight loss for march
Aiming for a 4 pound loss in April
Feeling proud but frustrated as monthly progress pics don’t look like much I’ve lost inches but i’m about to get my TOM so I’m kind of hoping that the driving force behind the numbers and progress pics being a bit underwhelming despite being on point with my macros and workouts. just gotta remember to stick to the plan despite not seeing the progress i was hoping for. GRR i’m the worst at patience! 1 -

Happy Easter everyone!
Well I managed to shed one pound in the averages this month. Better than a gain.
Going camping next weekend so I won't have a full week of daily weights to average. Going to still log all my food and do my best to keep my intake on track.
Totally off topic, but I went fishing yesterday and landed an 18.5 lb Carp. That was exhilarating! Catch and release, it's not a desirable fish to eat anyway. My husband and I enjoy multi species angling, and I have been trying for a while to catch a Carp.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1999: 195.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
Weely averages:
Last 7 days February 22-28th: 206.8
February 26th to March 4th: 205.8
March 5th to March 11th: 205
March 12th to March 18th: 205.5
March 19th to March 25th: 206.5
March 26th to April 1st: 205.8
Loss for March: 1 lbs
MFP Loss: 27.2 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 37.2 lbs.
See you in the April thread!
Move more, eat less.
