    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.



    Running monthly total: loss 2 lbs

    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!

    03/29:

    Happy to see a loss this week! Though I wanted to lose more this week, a loss is still a loss :D
    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.

    Thinking of starting intermittent fasting...as I have an event coming and want maximum results...

    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.

    Sam, take care of you--your happiness, your joy. And I know that life will test us in all that we do and all that we are with its many setbacks, but for the sake of love and with sheer will, we fight back harder. So you fight back harder in whatever it is. We're rooting for you!
