3/2- 207.4. Exercised. Met a friend for lunch. Made a good decision and got a salad. Met an ex for dinner. And we had ramen, but it was pretty healthy. However then we made cookies and I enjoyed them. Nearly overate though because I realized I missed him. Also realized the prepped meals I made are not tasty or a real long term solution, so need to rethink eating habits.
3/3- 210. Was embarrassed to post this. Feel ashamed of myself for not being able to commit to eating better. I keep emotionally eating. Seeing my ex brought back all the old feelings and I’m really struggling now.

Do NOT be embarrassed to post on the bad days. THAT is exactly what we are here for! We support one another in this lifestyle change. We do not judge and we encourage you not to judge yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Just begin anew right now. That's the beauty of MyFitnessPal. You can always start fresh.
As for you not being happy with your meals, I don't know what you've tried, but Skinnytaste.com has endless ideas for entrees, sides, and even desserts if you want them that are relatively healthy, calorie-controlled, and most important, easy to LOG. I use her recipes frequently. But what else I have learned so far is, if I buy fish or lean meats (pork chop, chicken, even lean cuts of beef) I can prepare them in a little olive oil or sprays of Pam with seasonings and lose weight easily eating those. I have gotten to the point that when I do eat out, I don't even want the heavily sauced, calorie-laden items any more.11 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 = 161.6 Got in a 4-mi fast walk in the neighborhood yesterday and ate smart too. This is the lowest weight I’ve been since probably before children (28 years ago)! Headed to Florida at the end of this round, and I so want to be in the 150s by then. Fingers crossed!
2/28 = 161.6
3/1 = 162.4 Was in a car wreck on 2/27 and all I did yesterday was rest in the recliner. Ate ok, but exercise is so important for me to be able to lose weight. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get in a walk today.
3/2 = 161.8 Was able to walk on the treadmill after work yesterday.
3/3 = 160.8 Headed in the right direction!
3/4 = 159.6 This is SUCH a milestone for me! I don’t even remember being in the 150s since I met my husband in 1983. I just want this trend to continue!

Here we go again! I had a rough round last time...who am I kidding?!?!...I had a rough February, my least favourite month....between the blahs and the crazy hormone swings I truly believe that coming in to check in here every day is what kept me from going completely off the rails. March is just around the corner which gives me hope that I'll be able to get out running on the trails again soon once the snow and ice are gone and I won't be stuck working out in the basement.
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
Original GW - 145 - hit this in October 2017 and maintained around 143 up to Januaryish
New GW - 140 or below...I know I can do it!!
2/26 - 147.6 - this is the highest I've been in ages and I know it stems from poor food choices and some whacky peri-menopausal hormone water retention
Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 - 145.6 - literally flushed away 2lbs of water weight yesterday LOL...I logged every bit of food I put in my mouth and got in a good walk with the dog and a kettlebell workout...was a great day and really motivating to feel in control of things.
2/28 - 143.0 - continued "flushing" yesterday...GOODBYE FEBRUARY!!! I'm moving onwards and downwards!!!
3/1 - 143.2 - no more flushing...now we get down to business. NSV yesterday...on a whim I tried on a pair of size 6 jeans because they didn't have and 8...and they FIT!!! Had to buy them, at least they were from the clearance rack so double score
3/2 - 143.0 - feeling great about this week so far...in control and motivated.
3/3 - 142.6 - worked a cocktail and some wine into my calorie deficit last night...smaller deficit but still on track...I don't need these last few pounds off quickly so I think enjoying some reasonable treats on the weekend is a great reward for sticking to the plan through the week.
3/4 - 143.4 - TOM arrived....more horormones

2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back!
2/28... 142.6 Got to gym yesterday. This slight gain might be water in muscles. Gonna fix me a stir fry orggie curry today. Haha, meant veggies. It will be an orgie of veggies. Have a great hump day.
3/1...143.4 Grrrrr I let a family situation get to me and had a few glasses of wine. Is that why? 50 on ellip again.
3/2143.4... Took a lovely 45 minute stroll in the drizzle yesterday. Ate decent but no enchilada on the weight loss.
3/3..142.6 This is a surprise as I ate ham for dinner and expected water gain. The ham was great and so is the drop.
Happy Saturday to all.Enjoy your day. Do something just for you.
3/4..143.4 Had great workout yesterday at gym. It felt so good to challenge myself. More ham. It's so good. Today, salad and chicken breast. Elliptical or pool workout. half way through and haven't lost. gained. blah.

2/27- 206 did over 16k steps and have started a new healthy eating regime. Preprepped every meal for the week. Let’s see how it goes.
2/28- 208.2 I didn’t eat my prepped meal for lunch. Went for sushi with a friend. Nervous to see how this will effect the scale. So now I see I gained again. Really disappointed in myself and might have to step back for meeting friends for meals completely.
3/1- 207.2 struggled with motivation today and then ate a bunch Of Girl Scout cookies at a friends house. Made myself work out again after I got home at 1am to work the cookies off.
3/2- 207.4. Exercised. Met a friend for lunch. Made a good decision and got a salad. Met an ex for dinner. And we had ramen, but it was pretty healthy. However then we made cookies and I enjoyed them. Nearly overate though because I realized I missed him. Also realized the prepped meals I made are not tasty or a real long term solution, so need to rethink eating habits.
3/3- 210. Was embarrassed to post this. Feel ashamed of myself for not being able to commit to eating better. I keep emotionally eating. Seeing my ex brought back all the old feelings and I’m really struggling now.
3/4- 205.8. A bit surprised at this number, but went on a hilly hike and walked a lot of steps. Going to try to keep the momentum going.

Round 33
2/27 / 241.6 / Ate under calories, but it was pretty heavy on rice, which has been known to make me retain some water. My ring isn't tight now, though, which it was for most of the last round. Still getting some activity in every day. No longer have any digestive aggravation.
2/28 / 241.4 / Down a tiny bit. Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is tight again. This is dumb.
3/1 / 240.6 / I'm working from home today, so my weigh-in was 1.5 hours later than normal. Still, I'll take the loss! Ate under calories. Activity good. My ring is a little snug but not as bad as it has been. I have a lot to do today, work-wise, so I'll have to be mindful that I get up and stretch and move around at times. I have a tendency to get so involved in what I'm doing that I don't move.
3/2 / 240.6 / Late weigh-in again. Ate a smidge under calories and got my activity in. My ring feels back to normal. Same deal as yesterday with needing to MOVE during the day instead of growing roots! There is a howling wind outside which has me weirdly jumpy.
3/3 / 238.8 / Woot! Late weigh-in because of the weekend. Squeaked in under calories. Hit my steps goal.
3/4 / 238.6 / Still creeping downward. I ate a ton of fries yesterday that forced me to exercise for a loooong time, but it was worth it.

Round 1 for me (Round 33): 202.8
I am hoping this keeps me focused as I am three weeks into my new Keto lifestyle and loving it so far.
2/27: 202.8
2/28: 202 I was shocked that I would have gone down at all -
Struggling to get into any consistent workout routine. I have the Aaptiv app but making time for it. Today I plan to take a walk during my lunch hour if only to get in a 20 minute walk
3/1: 202 - this makes sense I didn’t go walking at lunch too much snow. Skipped the treadmill this am because I’m fighting a stomach bug. I’ll just keep logging and making good food choices. I can do this!
3/2: 201.8 - I never ended up working out yesterday so this doesn’t surprise me and I am fine with it going slow. I did get on the treadmill bright and early before work today. It felt great and I think next week I will get back into my routine. I know this weekend will be filled with skiing with the kiddos.
3/3: 200,4 - this is great news but I’m surprised since I had alcohol the night before. I’m feeling a bit dehydrated so this might be all it is. Took a long walk today got more than my steps in which is great. We will see if this holds for tomorrrow.
3 / 4: 199.8 - can’t be more excited about this. Breaking the 200 barrier is fab! Headed out skiing with the family. Today starts week 4 of my new Keto lifestyle and so far so good!

Female, 5'4"
Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight in late 2017. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. Lately I've been ranging around 110-112 lbs. Since switching to a whole food plant based diet, I can't seem to stop losing weight, despite reintroducing alcohol into my diet. It's about the seemingly unimportant decisions. But consistently making them everyday is what leads to success.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average
2/27 • 112 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1300 cal
2/28 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1350 cal
3/1 • 111 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1350 cal. 4 servings of alcohol

@angelicasassy
You're here. And even though you didn't want to post, you did. This is what being accountable is all about. Sometimes the first stage is awareness, NOT change.
Beating yourself up is a tough habit to break. Seeing your ex is hard. It makes sense that you're struggling. You deserve kindness right now, even from yourself.
Accept yesterday's eating for what it was. Recognize it, but see if you can move on. Try to get back on track. We're here for you.6 -
It has taken me the better part of 68 years to realize that I shouldn’t be “ON A DIET” which is a temporary fix to a long term problem. I have made a “LIFESTYLE CHANGE” by changing what I eat. My blood work is better, my knees don’t hurt, and I’m losing weight. Why would I go back to what I used to do?
@Claire5520 I would suggest that this is water your muscles are holding onto even if you have been running for a long time. And why do you weigh at night? Just curious.
@vix576 Welcome to the group! I see you have 10 days listed but this round ends 3/8. Another should be posted 3/6 or 3/7 to start 3/9. Keep on keeping on!
@cpanus Chris, I wanted to WHOO HOO but, yeah, that’s not an option! So WHOO HOO!!!4 -

2/27 ~ 155.4 Down a little, but am expecting a whoosh soon. Under cut my calories yesterday, that was ok as I think I was still full from the weekend. 16,400 steps 1235 calories.
2/28 ~ 157.6 ... Life! Ate too much and moved not enough. Plus some high sodium foods. Spent some quaility time with my youngest. Hope to spend the next few days back at it, although SO gets to come home in the next week or so and we may go away!!! So excited. 11,627 steps and 2382 calories (best estimate) Egg white omlete for dinner?? Oh no!! I also have a dr appointment during my lunch walk, these numbers look like they may be a slow downward climb. Not worried. As a bonus I found 10 bucks on my lunch walk yesterday, this exercise thing is starting to pay off!!
3/1 ~ 156.1 ... Hooray it's March!! 15,755 steps and 1291 calories. Cutting down to 1200's due to my weekend indulgence. Coming down very very slowly. Have a measurment day coming up and sad this bloat will may still be on.
3/2 ~ 155 ... 17,001 steps 1554 calories. Slowly going back down. So quick to rocket up, but so darn slow to get back down.
3/3 ~ 151.6 ...14,267 steps 1507 calories. Ah back to almost where I was a week ago. Working this weekend so no long hike or walk. Looks like most are killing it on their losses. WTG, Have a great weekend!!
3/4 ~ 150.9 ... 19,270 steps and 1685 calories. Working for a few hours today then headed to the spa!! SO is on his way home after working away for more than 2 months. (so happy) I couldn't get much time off work but managed to wrangle 5 days. We are looking at going away

@KShanee I did my first 5k in December, I was amazing! Have a great time enjoy all that race energy and the 'high' once you've crossed the finish line.
@angelicasassy So glad you posted, I too sometimes look at the ups and cringe, but posting makes me accountable and also tells others I'm human and everyones numbers will go up and down. Love sucks, hope you soon see that you're beautiful and that happiness starts with just loving yourself first. xo

Goal: Release 2 lbs per round to reach onederland by Memorial Day weekend.
Ultimate Goal: 175 lbs, reevaluate at that point
February
27: 215.8... I'm glad for sustaining this, even if it's only been for 2 days in a row. I've now lost 15 pounds since Christmas, and half of that since starting this challenge. Food, exercise, and water were good yesterday. Today I drove past 4 gas stations that have espresso/latte machines. I love the drinks, and they aren't high in calories or carbs as long as I skip the extra flavoring. Coffee at home is cheaper and healthier though. Each station that I passed, I told myself to just hold off and if I really wanted a latte I could wait until the next station. I made the 40 mile drive without stopping and made my bulletproof coffee as soon as I got home.
28: 215.7... I'll take it! Walked for over an hour yesterday. It was 54°F, which is crazy for February in Wisconsin! I'm glad I got to get out and enjoy it. Water, food, and sodium all good.
March
1: 215.3... Slow & steady. All good yesterday, and prelogged for today. I have an old college friend visiting, so I'm not sure I'll get much exercise in.
2: 215.6... Normal fluctuation. I was a little low on my 100oz water goal, but I did find time to get a solid walk in while my daughter was in gymnastics.
3: I forgot to check in yesterday! Weight was 216.4. Not sure about the increase, but not concerned after this morning's weigh in.
4: 214.5... Yesterday was a rest day. I unintentionally ate 1300+ calories instead of 1680 plus had an extra deficit according to my Fitbit activity adjustment.

Don't be embarrassed. It hurt. Plus, part of this journey is trying to fix the coping mechanisms we've all had. There are other ways to take care of yourself when you hurt. Try to find one or two of those that help. I know some like long hot baths, or enjoying nature. Some need to spend more time with friends. Some journal their feelings. Realize that you need to take care of yourself, and grant yourself some grace for that.6 -
Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories.

If a client has come to me looking to lose 10 pounds, I would tell them to simply move. Move more and more often. Walk or bike ride to class or work, even park further away from your location in the parking lot. Take the stairs or take a walk during lunch. You don’t have to spend hours every day in the gym sweating, but you do have to make a conscious effort to move more, and sit less. This works great because it doesn’t feel like work and you’re burning more and more calories throughout the day. — Ajia Cherry, personal trainer and Founder at Functional Innovative Training8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
2/27 – 232.6 before breakfast. Super motivated yesterday so I’m looking to continue that!
2/28 – 231.6 this morning. Started to overeat yesterday and then stopped myself and took a long walk. I eat my way through every emotion so the walk was a healthy distraction. The smart part of me knows that I do that so at least the recognition is there. Half the battle, right?
3/1 – 230.6
3/2 – 230.2 before breakfast. I am so proud of this loss!! All day yesterday I walked past candy and cookies and was barely even tempted. I know that eventually I will reach a point where I can eat one and stop but I’m not there yet. For this moment, it feels really good to be in control – I own every bit of that .4 loss!
3/3 - 228.8 this morning. Wow - was not expecting that. Ate out last night and didn't watch as closely as I should have. Usually takes 2 days for the change to show so we'll see what tomorrow brings!
3/4 – 230 before breakfast. Not surprised and glad I got the gain out of the way!
