Weigh less than a month ago challenge

You can see the upward trend since Christmas the best on this 3 month graph. I've really got to turn this trend around.

If I'm in maintenance, then February was perfect.




This was after a BIG loss in January - then flat, flat, flat. It's OK. I am actually within my maintenance range, but I actually still want to slowly drop down a little lower by losing a bit more fat. My three-month chart shows that I'm hovering just above a much narrower maintenance range that I'm shooting for.

Feb 1st 2024 - 183.4 (trend 183.0) I have started slowly creeping back up since the holidays. I really need to put forth a better effort. Since the holidays all the cravings have come back and I’m back in a war that I appear to be losing. Time to get my game plan on!

March 1st 2024 – 178.0 (trend 179.3) February was a better month for me with the increases per month finally stopping. From Feb 1st to March 1st I lost 5.4 lbs. I am hoping I can do as well in March although my normal goal is 4 lbs. per month.


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Well....

February was maintenance. That's fine. January was a loss, and I kind of needed that. I'd like to say that March was also maintenance, but it was a slow gain. It started off with a fast gain (not on this chart because it only goes back to March 4), but then pretty slow.




I'm still down for the year, and that's good. I'd like to get back to where I was at the end of January, so I'll have to work on that.




A year ago I was just leaving for a 23-day raft trip down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon. The food was packed by an outfitter, and they packed wayyyyyy too much food. I hate food waste, and I gained quite a bit on that trip. It stuck with me. Apparently I kept eating too much for the next couple months, then I slowly lost some until fall and then... Oops. Then I got back on track in January, and now here we are. If I maintain where I am now, it's still a healthy weight. Someone even said something to me the other day about "skinny people like you" or something like that. Maybe even "always been skinny." They didn't know me, apparently, when I was heavier. This is the second time in a month or two I've had that kind of comment. If I can do it, anyone can. Now to get back to sticking to it!

April 1st 2024 – 180.6 (trend 180.6) March was a horrible month of ups & downs. I’ve really let my guard down. The sugar (chocolate) cravings have been horrendous! I seem to be able to only snip one graph at a time. I will try to add more later.
