    I don't feel honest about starting this challenge on March 1...

    It might make it LOOK like a larger loss than I actually experience in March since it was just a fluctuation.

    The fluctuations are just part of the journey. An average loss of 2lb per week may look like 3.2lbs, 0.8lbs, 2.0lbs, 1.4lbs, 0.6lbs, etc. If it makes you feel more “honest”, you can include previous months’ losses at the top of this month’s grouping. Over time it’ll clearly show those fluctuations.

    This is what I was thinking. I didn't want to "claim" a larger loss for February if it was based on starting at a high. So I've added both values, and it's all good. It's a very supportive group. If I look back at the last three months, I can see that I am, in fact, going the right direction!

    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

    Running monthly total: loss .4 lbs

    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 -

    Goal lose - 9.9 pounds

    NSV Report!!!

    In June 2017, I had to go dress shopping. I was so unhappy about buying a Size 14 dress and being 5 feet tall. I saw pictures and I did not like the way I looked. Ugh. Now, I was not looking forward to going again this past weekend. I thought: I've only lost 6 lbs. I should be a size 12. To my surprise, I tried on size 10 and it fits!!! (Granted, I'm still going to buy shapewear because I carry my weight around my stomach - I'll take wins where I can get them lol.) I'm ecstatic because going to the gym consistently 2 to 4 times a week has paid off and my fiance and I are not done yet.

    MFP Starting Weight: 140 lbs - February 2011

    Ultimate Goal: 120 lbs

    Weigh-In Day: Friday (and Monday until 3/14 for work-related program - although I am starting to like Monday weigh-ins since they keep me accountable on the weekends as well)

    March 1: 141.2 lbs
    March 4: 141.2
