You are less than 20 pounds from your ultimate goal, congrats!
A few of us that are a bit older are in the same boat with slow results.
I plan to remain disciplined.
We soldier on : - )6 -

I just barely squeaked under my goal for the month, but I’m 100% fine with that. I had a lot of “life” happen this month and it gives me hope for maintenance success if I managed to stick with it through everything that came up.6 -

I DON’T QUIT WHEN I’M TIRED…..I QUIT WHEN I’M DONE!
I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account. In March I shall start on the 2nd (Travel no weigh on the 1st).
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
March starting weight – 188.8
March goal - 182.8 lbs
March Actual End Weight: 189.6
Weight/Comment:
Mar 02 – ….. 188.8…..
Mar 08 – ….. 190.8….. Oh my! Egg Fast/Fat Fast starting today (Thanks Tish for reminding me of this option)
Mar 15 – ….. 185.6….. Thanking the eggs & God. Now, to just stay strong. Lots of travel (4 days) this upcoming week. I expect lots of sitting & restaurants in the picture. I would like to be proud of myself when this week is all over.
Mar 23 – …..189.6….. Weighing in one day late after 5 days of travel this past week. And that’s what you get folks when it’s mostly restaurant food, not enough water & lots of sitting…sitting…sitting.
Mar 29 – ….. 188.1 ….. A little lighter than when I stated. 2 more days to keep going in the right direction hopefully.
Mar 31 – ….. 189.6 ….. Disappointed myself, yet again.
Final Challenge Thoughts: A gain of 0.8 lbs. It feels like my only loss is during the most drastic of measures. I think self control is my biggest downfall over actual food choices. I’m going to work on that in April.

This month was filled with events and I had prepared myself for a lower loss and some carb bloat to rebound from. I also had to take a week off from workouts as I went down with a severe cold.
Still I can’t say I’m shocked that I got pretty close to 5lbs. I realize I make good choices even when I’m eating outside of my norm. My total love of working out has surprised me and I’m continuing to push myself into tougher classes.
My goals have expanded from numbers on a scale to specific fitness goals. I kind of fangirl at the gym on some of these woman who are just so strong and capable. I want that! I’m going to get that.
I’m super excited for April, I’ve signed up for the next 7 weeks of Saturday 7am bootcamp.
74lbs gone, from a size 22 xxl to a size 12 medium in two years.
Great job this month everyone, I read everyone’s post everyday and am so impressed and encouraged with the dedication I see. This *kitten is HARD, keep going!

Total loss for March: Scale says I lost three pounds and have maintained my goal weight! Ten day average actually says I'm only down 1.9 pounds and is pretty much at my ultimate goal as well. I must avoid gaining it back! I had a huge spike this week -- up seven pounds in five days, but then it came back off. Whew.
I am still participating in monthly weight loss challenges like this one until I'm solidly steady back in the middle or bottom my goal range. I'm at the top of that range, and I'm also participating in maintenance challenges like THIS ONE.
One more check-in in two days, then on to April! I need to decide if I should stay in this group since I'm done losing.

11th - 343.6 lbs I ate during my fast last night. I don't know what I was thinking. But today is another day.
15th - 341.3 lbs I'm not entirely sure what's happening but I'm not going to let it discourage me.
18th - 338.8 lbs I was scared for a minute but then I realized that I was dehydrated and retaining water at night. So I changed this around. Drinking lemon water in the morning and propel at night. Happy Monday
22nd - 339.5 lbs This has me so puzzled. On 3/19 I weighed 337.7 lbs no change in eating habits maybe my water intake at night. We'll see. I have been putting off a exercise routine but I think I'm ready. We'll see
25th - 341.6 lbs I have let this get to my head this weekend but today I am putting an end to it now. I will go out this month with a bang!

Total loss for March: Scale says I lost two pounds and have maintained my goal weight! Ten day average also says I'm down two pounds and is pretty much at my ultimate goal as well. Scale is 0.2 below, and average is 0.2 above. That's perfect. I had a scare last week when I gained seven pounds in five days and almost came out of my goal range. I don't want to gain it back!
I will be back in April even though I don't want to lose any more. It will be great to see everyone have success at whatever rate they attain. And after everyone attains, then we can all maintain!

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!
📌3/11 - 170.8
3/12 - 170.4 - Day 1 Day 3 of my experiment in the books. Successful so far.
3/13 - 171.8 - Retaining some fluid
again from drinking electrolytes just before bed.
3/14 - 171.2
3/15 - 172.2 - A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.

3/30 - 175.8 - It's going to be a lot of back and forth with my weight until my body adjusts to my exercise. All muscles are firing! Feels good to get back to it on a consistent basis, been a long time.

Thanks, @dawnbgethealthy Soldier on, indeed. I'm enjoying the benefits of "older & wiser," but parts of it are not quite so fun. Once I get to goal, I'm going to have to rethink allowing much of a winter weight gain anymore.1 -

Happy Sunday, everyone!
Still here. Still stuck. I gain and lose the same 2 lbs over and over. Still...
Not giving up. Looking at NSV. Tried on an older pair of jeans the other day. No way I can wear them, way ugly baggy. Shirts I like but used to be a bit too snug, fit nicely now. Time soon to see if summer clothes fit or are too baggy.
Today I caught a 14 pound fish, and I was able to crouch down for a photo. My eyes didn't bug out, and I was able to get back up without help. I still can't kneel without pain, but I can kneel if I have to, and I can get up again.
The fish was handled with care and released, unharmed. 😊

I'll be weighing in on Friday for the month of March/April...I just need some of this hormonal water weight to subside a bit (after TOM). I do feel pretty good despite giving into chocolate cake and pop tarts. Oops. Big oops!! Needless to say, I'm getting back on track (again) and staying very busy and active. My size 10 jogging pants feel more loose than they did--and I'm not stretching them out because I don't wear them often, so it seems like I maybe losing inches! March wasn't a huge victory and I did have some setbacks however I do feel motivated--just want some warmer weather is all. I'm ready to run!
Weigh-in on Friday...
