    Original starting weight - 228 - I have been losing weight and keeping it off since 1/1/2010.
    April starting weight - 164
    April goal - 154
    Ultimate goal - 139

    1st - 164
    5th - 163.2 - not happy about this...not my first rodeo so I'll ride it out of course, just not happy about it. :|
    12th - 163.2 - again. Really gunning for 159 but I'm having a tough time breaking through the 6's.
    19nd - 162.0 - okay...we're heading in the right direction again.
    26th - 160.8 - darn it! I wanted 159. Well...I guess I have a couple days yet.
    30th -160.2 - Perhaps my goal was a little aggressive. :)
    Total loss for April - 3.8 - I'm okay with that but I've been dancing around the 160s long enough. Come on May!

    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191

    March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
    February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs


    March 31 - 172.8
    April 02 - Tuesday - 174.1
    April 03 - 173.0
    April 04 - 171.6 - I was 170.9 on March 30th I have been dropping my calories from 1200 to 1100 so far this month, I am not satisfied with working so diligently to lose only a pound a month. There was bonus skating yesterday which seems to remove all of my excess water (and stress) and burns lots of calories, so a 1.4 loss in a day is likely due to that.
    April 05 - 170.9
    April 06 - 170.0 !!
    April 07 - 171.6 - Expected, very small deficit yesterday
    April 08 - 171.1 - Monday. Okay with that. Tuesday mornings is 4am for me, and my weight is always up because it is too darned early. I may still weigh tomorrow morning, but won't be upset if it is high.
    April 10 - 171.6 - Wednesday. I had a tough time getting in enough calories yesterday, I am on soft food for 3 weeks until I get a crown on my tooth. This is going to really change up what I eat, crunchy foods are out.
    April 11 - 169.3!!!! I am not getting too excited. Skating yesterday : - ) I am working out of town today and they have skating there today too : - )
    April 12 - 168.6 - All of that calorie deficit in February and March might finally be showing up, plateau gave way. 2 skates only coming up in the next 2 weeks, all of the other towns are now closed for the season (couldn't skate yesterday). Guess I am trading in my blades for squatting, bending, pushing, lunging, and pulling in the garden. I do dance aerobics and Zumba daily from Youtube, but really don't get the same effect as skating, nor can I sustain it for as much time. I hope to stay in the 160s for a few months and not get back up into the 170s which lasted for almost 4 months. 2 full months of upping my water intake, have to try to keep that up.
    April 13 - 168.3
    April 14 - 169.0 - I am not managing to get in enough exercise. I will fix that.
    April 15 - 169.5 - Monday. I won't weigh tomorrow, hopefully Wednesday will still be in the 160s : - )
    April 16.- 169.0 - Tuesday, home sick from work with a cold. Not too motivated to work out, maybe later.
    April 17 - 167.8 - The first two days of antibiotics are responsible for some weight loss, likely temporary. Too sick to even go to skating today! I really hate to miss it, there is only one left after this. We'll see in 2 hours after taking some Dayquil.
    April 18 - 166.7 - I had a really tough time getting my calories in yesterday, between the dental issue and this flu. I found some unsweetened apple juice at one point and drank enough of that to bring up my calories. 2 weeks until I get my crown on. Scrambled eggs and soups, but I have no appetite and am mostly staying propped up high in bed with Nyquil. Not a nice way to lose weight, I am sure in 2 weeks when I am back on solid foods that it will rebound.
    April 19 - 167.4 - got my calories from food instead of juice.
    April 20 - 166.8
    April 21 - 167.5
    April 22 - 166.0
    April 23 - 166.4 - Tuesday
    April 24 - 166.8 - ate so late after a very long day at work trying to catch up after being off for a week. Not 100%, but it is the last skating opportunity of the season at noon today.
    April 25 - 166.2 - Skated yesterday : - )
    April 26 - 164.9 - I was too busy yesterday to get enough water in, I think it is a temporary loss. I went from 1 glass of water a day to 8+ over the last few months. Because of that, I am sort of thinking that my 2 month stall in weight loss was due to the increased water content. Maybe loss of muscle from not skating as much has showed as weight loss. Skating is finished now until October : - (
    April 27 - 166.5 - kind of went off of the rails last night - almost 2 pounds worth.
    April 28 - 167.2 - 3 pounds in 3 days, my own fault for losing my discipline after so many months. I will have to get back on the bandwagon today.
    April 29 - 168.4 - Yikes. I was very good yesterday food-wise and really upped my calorie burn. The weekend has caught up with me, hopefully I get that back off quickly. 4 pounds took me almost 4 months to get off, it would be totally sad if I put it back so fast. Hoping that it is temporary.
    April 30 - 167.9

    Running loss/gain - loss 4.9

    May 01 - 165.1

    I am going to count that in the April loss until the new thread gets posted - It made up for February and March

    April loss - 7.7

    Finished the month on a ToM bump, so not quite as successful as I would’ve liked but at least I still beat 5lbs! I’m overseas for the month of May & will be on maintenance until I return home. Here’s hoping I don’t face an ugly surprise when I get back! 🤞🏼
