3/10 - 174.2 - An early weigh in as far as my fasting schedule. I'm experimenting going back to 12/12 for a week or two for a little break. Expected from increased carbs, but, seems that I haven't learned my lesson about drinking salty water late in the evening.😦 It's okay. 19g carbs, 14g net carbs. Carbs were: salad spaghetti squash, pesto, peanut butter (1.5 TB) YES to vegetables!

I will continue to weigh daily throughout March. It usually keeps me accountable from having that second helping, knowing that I will be weighing in the morning. I also like to look for trends, so daily weighing.
58 years old, 5'3"
Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
March goal 169.3 - 5 pound loss, and hopefully into a new decade finally.
February loss was 1.9 pounds
February 28 - 174.8 - burned off mega calories yesterday too, but still up in weight this morning. Low on sleep.
March 01 - 174.3 - I hope for March to be better than February.
March 02 - 173.7 - Unbelievable, I was so disappointed with February, being so diligent about burning lots of calories, eating carefully, and barely losing weight - that last night I had (in defiance) a giant steak, corn, sour cream, potatoes etc., way over my calorie allotment. I truly expected to see a gain this morning.
March 03 - 174.3 - So the steak dinner from Friday shows up?
March 04 - 173.9 - skating yesterday
March 05 - 174.9 - no reason to be up other than short on sleep. Skating today, so hope to see a drop tomorrow morning.
March 06 - 173.6 - yay for skating, I am skating again today too.
March 07 - 173.3 - again, yay for skating. I am working out of town today, and taking my skates with me because there is an arena there. There is only a few weeks left of the skating season : - (
March 08 - 171.4 - I have learned now not to get too excited about this, I had a big dinner yesterday so I expect it to catch up with me. Slow metabolism once we get older. I did burn off a lot of calories yesterday skating and other stuff though. Lowest weight I have been so far, but then I had one low day in February which didn't last too.
March 09 - 172.7 - I skated 3 times at 3 different places yesterday (1,095 calories burned), but I did expect to see a gain because I had a good dinner on Thursday that hadn't yet showed up. Running monthly total: loss 1.4 lb
March 10 - 174.7 - argh! At least there is skating today. I get it if I don't burn 1,000+ calories that I might not lose anything, but I at least don't expect to gain when I only burn off 300-400. Cruel. Throughout all of this I always have calories to spare. Hoping for a better number tomorrow. I so badly want to get into the 60s.
March 11 - 172.3 - I'll take it. Big skating calorie burn yesterday.
March 12 - 173.9 - I stick to 1200-1300 calories, aerobics, but if I don't get in at least an hour of skating I am up on the scale. Skating during my work break today. It is really hard to lose weight otherwise for me.
March 13 - 172.5 - I actually matched my calories in with my calories out yesterday! It is starting to look like my way forward will be to burn 3,500-7,000 calories per week to lose 1 pound per week. That is pretty time consuming, but it seems like it is the only way that I can lose anything. Skating today ; - )
March 14 - 172.3 - Would be nice to see a woosh soon, I was able to get in 140 minutes of skating yesterday, mega calorie burn, 1,420. I had 1,100 calories left to eat if I wanted to the last 2 days, but I didn't. No skating anywhere today, but the arenas will be open 5 days a week during March break. I am really determined to bust some fat.

So last month I had a water, sodium, TOM, and whatever else gain of 6.4 pounds at the end. So I am starting this month very high. I should lose a large portion of it in the next week or so. I started February out at 148.5, ended it at 154.9. Would like to end March at 145. That has been and is my goal right now. I really lost focus when I was so close to reaching my goal last month. I was only a couple of pounds away and just kind of lost the desire to lose anymore. I am thinking of switching it to 140 so that I have that extra cushion for those weeks I am just not feeling the motivation.
3/1 - 154.9 super high TOM, sodium, alcohol, and whatever else. Should go down fairly quickly
3/7 - 151.1 Finally had a decent loss this week. Still working hard and hoping to see the scale continue in a downward trend! 2.6 pounds left to get to back to where I started last month
3/14 - 151.0 Not quite the drop I was looking for, but it's a drop. Hoping to have a really good whoosh before next week.

7th - 154.4 Figured since Jan 1, 2019, I’ve lost 0.1 lb. So, I guess this is maintenance. I will think about whether I am truly committed to getting lower. By all measures, I m healthy. I’m thinking losing a few vanity pounds may not be enough motivation for me. Still thinking.
8th - 153.4 I am recommitted & ate with a very good deficit today...tons of heard hill walking & another flat walk with a friend!
I do want to be below 153.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
I missed checking in last Sunday as we went camping. Spring isn't quite here yet in North Georgia, but it is in South Georgia so we went there for a long weekend.
Things are moving ever so slowly, but I am hanging in there. No loss to report, but no gain either. Body shape keeps changing so that is positive.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233.
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
Weekly Averages:
February 18 - February 24: 196.5.
I missed averaging the last 7 days.
March 4 - March 10: 196.5
Loss for March: 0.
MFP Loss: 36.5 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 46.5 lbs.
Move more, eat less.
Same here. My weight is just steady, nothing to report really. Dodging between (mid)180s/(Lower)190s...I feel like I'm toning but I'm not losing. It's frustrating! I thought on this keto diet I was going to continue to lose substantially, weekly but, I guess the honeymoon is over.
I do realize that I need to adjust my fat count and maybe lower my carb a bit more. I need some Nutritional Yeast (B vitamins), don't want to make the mistake I made last time. No keto rash for me!0 -

Happy to see a loss this week! Though I wanted to lose more this week, a loss is still a loss
I wasn’t able to exercise at all this week, except for one day. I stuck to my diet and forced myself to eat clean at all times.
