    Female Age 38, 5'10", Idaho

    Original starting weight Jan 2020: 322 lb
    January 2020 ending weight: 311.3 lb
    Goal weight this month February 2020: 299.9 lb - Hoping to break the 300’s this month!
    Target goal weight: 175 lb

    January 2020 – down 10.7 lbs

    Feb 1: 309.2 lbs
    Feb 2: 309.7 lbs
    Feb 3: 309.4 lbs Woke up to more snow so will probably have a good exercise day today
    Feb 4: 309.3 lbs
    Feb 5: 308.6 lbs Hurray for downward trends!
    Feb 6: 308.6 lbs
    Feb 7: 309.6 lbs
    Feb 8: 310.6 lbs
    Feb 9: 311.2 lbs Weekends are bad and worked from home since Thurs so doubly bad. Will do better. Really want to hit that under 300 goal!
    Feb 10: 311.8 lbs Ok, this has gone on long enough. Time to buckle down and get back on track.
    Feb 11: 312.2 lbs Just telling myself it’s residuals and down will come soon.
    Feb 12: 311.6 lbs Finally! Ok, gonna keep this going.
    Feb 13: 311.6 lbs At least it’s not up, I’ll take it!
    Feb 14: 311.6 lbs Maybe tomorrow the down will come.
    Feb 15: 309.9 lbs HURRAY!! Finally going back down. Happy dance 
    Feb 16: 308.3 lbs I was worried after having popcorn at the movies. I guess tons of water really does help. Yay!
    Feb 17: 308.9 lbs Well, not what I was hoping for but went out for dinner last night and had some wine so I guess that’s a reason
    Feb 18: 307.7 lbs Ok, here we go. Maybe I can still hit that Feb goal!
    Feb 19: 306.0 lbs Staying off carbs is apparently the key for me. It’s a good thing I love veggies too and know how to make mashed cauliflower, haha! Loving this trend 
    Feb 20: 305.7 lbs Yay!
    Feb 21: 304.6 lbs Doing a cleanse so I expect downward to continue for 5 more days then will get back to reality again. But enjoying it while it lasts!
    Feb 22: 302.3 lbs
    Feb 23: 301.9 lbs Couldn’t make it through the full 5 days of cleanse but made it 3. Hopefully I don’t see negative reactions on the scale in the coming days.
    Feb 24: 300.4 lbs Not going to officially dance until it sticks around for a few days post-cleanse, but Happy Dance!!
    Feb 25: 300.2 lbs Do I dare continue… yep… Happy Dance!
    Feb 26: 300.4 lbs Still okay with this. 3 more days for a half pound to hit Feb goal. Fingers crossed.
    Feb 27: 301.9 lbs Ugg, well I guess I’m coming back to reality
    Feb 28: 303.9 lbs And reality sucks. Just trying to stick to goals and get exercise in and hope my body gets back to losing soon. But probably not hitting that Feb goal.

    I don’t frequently take progress pictures, but I did take one at my top weight and one ten pounds down. I just took a good look at them for the first time and it’s so encouraging to see a change! I don’t necessarily feel that different, although my pants are more comfortable!

    Starting weight: 163.4 lb
    Start weight this month: 144.4
    Goal weight this month: under 140
    Target goal weight: 128

    August: lost 1.2 lb
    September: lost 4.2 lb
    October: lost 3.7 lb
    November: lost 3.9 lb
    December: lost 4.1 lb
    January: lost 1.9 lb

    (I use Happy Scale, so the losses above are determined by moving average. I will post my actual daily weight below.)

    1 Feb: 144.4 TOM started today, so I should see a bit of a water weight loss about 5 days from now.
    2 Feb: 143.2
    3 Feb: 144 Super Bowl yummies! I went just a little over my deficit calories, but...sodium!
    4 Feb: 143.2
    5 Feb: 142.4
    6 Feb: 140.6 Water weight loss after TOM, but also haven’t felt well the last few days, so not eating much. I expect this to go up some once better.
    7 Feb: 139.6 Still not eating up to goal calories. My stomach hurts after I eat anything. Is this like a mild stomach bug? It’s been since Tuesday (2/4). We’ll see how today goes.
    8 Feb: 140
    9 Feb: 139.8 My stomach still hurts every time I eat. I’ve averaged 1050 calories/day this week, when my goal is 1550 (and I average more like 1700, actually). I’ve never had this before!
    10 Feb: 140.8
    11 Feb: 139.6
    12 Feb: 139.6 Went to doctor yesterday, having h.pylori test done today, then to GI specialist if it’s not that.
    13 Feb: 139.0
    14 Feb: 138.6 I’ve managed about 1300 calories for the past few days, so not too bad. Still not feeling well and forcing myself to get food in.
    15 Feb: no weigh in—overnight family trip with the Boy Scouts on the Yorktown
    16 Feb: no weigh in
    17 Feb: 137.6
    18 Feb: 137.6
    19 Feb: 137.4
    20 Feb: 137.2 Still not feeling well, waiting for GI appt on 3/18. I’ve been able to get in up to 1400 cal some days, so I guess that’s fine.
    21 Feb: 137.4
    22 Feb: 137.8
    23 Feb: 137.8
    24 Feb: 137.8
    25 Feb: 138.2 Feeling better, and eating normally again! I have no idea where I am in my cycle—TOM should be tomorrow but I have no PMS symptoms. Maybe the stomach problem and not eating much prevented ovulation?
    26 Feb: 137.8
    27 Feb: 136.4 Spoke too soon, felt cruddy again the past two days. And, TOM was right on time yesterday with absolutely no PMS symptoms!! Whaaaatt?
    28 Feb: 137.2

    JGM1M: FEBRUARY 2020

    Journey so far:
    Jan 2015: I joined MFP at 227 lbs and gradually reduced
    Oct 2016: finally hit my target of 155
    Dec 2018: Had gradually wavered up again to 170s
    Jan 2019: still wavering round 170
    July 2019: bounced up and down between 160 and 170
    Aug 2019: Gave myself the proverbial kick up the a** and buckled down!
    Oct 2019: Set new goal weight of 150 by year end
    Nov 2019: Hit goal late Nov. I’m now focusing on increasing strength workouts
    Aug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
    Sept: -4.71
    Oct: -4.2
    Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)
    Dec: + 4.4 (Christmas indulgences)
    Jan: - 1.3 Goal: under 150. Achieved on 11/01. Popped back up on three days thereafter.

    OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
    CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
    LW: 147.8 (Nov 2019)
    FEB SW: 150.1
    GW: Under 150
    Week 1
    Sat 01: 150.1
    Sun 02: 151 😏 Self inflicted. Late night snacking always has consequences
    Mon 03: 150.1 😁 Made better choices.
    Tue 04: 148.6 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Gotta stick with the sensible head.
    Wed 05: 149
    Thu 06: 149.2
    Fri 07: 149.1
    Week 2
    Sat 08: 148.9
    Sun 09: 149.4
    Mon 10: 149.2 💁🏼 These are normal fluctuations, so reasonably happy with them.
    Tue 11: 148.8 💁🏼 Back on the HIIT. Did 30 minutes yesterday. Feeling it this morning.
    Wed 12: 148.4 👍🏻 Hopefully on a roll here.
    Thu 13: 148.8
    Fri 14: 148.6 💁🏼 Losing the last few lbs is so slow. 😂
    Week 3
    Sat 15: 149.6 🍫🍾🍨 Awck! Well, it was just one day. Back at it today!
    Sun 16: 150.1 *sigh*
    Mon 17: 148.6 💁🏼 Phew!!! Back to where I was before the weekend.
    Tue 18: 148.8 💁🏼 Normal daily fluctuations. Working on discarding my last 5 lbs, and on muscle toning, so not entirely unexpected. Clothes are getting loose again. Have had to stop wearing a couple of pairs of trousers as they wouldn't stay up. Will have to get the needle and thread out again! 😂
    Wed 19: 148.8
    Thu 20: 149.6
    Fri 21: 149.6
    Week 1: - 1
    Week 2: - 0.5
    Week 3: 0
    Week 4:
    Sat 22: 149.4 💁🏼I have been down and up again all week. Hope to make a better stab at it in the last week of the month.
    Sun 23: 149.2
    Mon 24: 149.2
    Tue 25: 148.8 💁🏼 Got my biopsy results last week, all clear, but getting my blood pressure checked today at 12.30.
    Wed 26: 148.8
    Thu 27: 148.8
    Fri 28: 148.9
    Sat 29:

    Looking forward:
    • February: focusing on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
    • 2020 Goal: Stabilise weight around 145
    • Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
    • have prepared healthy snacks available
    • cut down on eating between meals

    1 Feb - 144.8 lb
    2 Feb - 143 lb -Wow!! I haven't seen this number in about 10 years!! It's the lowest in my adult life! 😲👍Feels like a temporary drop, being almost 2 lbs in one day... But I'll bask in it while I can 😊
    3 Feb- 144.6 lb- Welp.... ok then lol Late dinner last night.
    4 Feb- 144.2 lb- This seems like a more realistic number. B)
    5 Feb- 143.2 lb- Unexpected, but I'm not going to argue lol Surprised to see this drop. I ended up having to weigh myself after lunch today.... so tomorrow might be even lower. Just have to wait & see!
    6 Feb- 142.4 lb- AWESOME! I must be doing something right!! I noticed my wedding rings have been feeling dangerously loose lately. Starting to worry about them slipping off :o Close to time to get them refitted!!
    7 Feb- 141.8 lb- Wow! I might be in switching into maintenance mode THIS MONTH!!! :open_mouth:
    8 Feb- no weigh day
    9 Feb- I weighed myself on a different scale this morning. Seemed to low to be a "real" number. I'll wait until tomorrow to weigh in on my regular scale to confirm or disprove it. *shrugs* I don't wanna get my hopes up!
    10 Feb- 141.4 lb - Yep! A much more reasonable number today.
    11 Feb- 142.4 lb- Extra grazing lastnight while packing lunches and making the kids dinner. TOM is coming....
    12 Feb- 142 lb- I'm ok with this. I feel pretty bloated today. Yuck!
    13 Feb- 141.4 lb- TOM started. Should see the water weight on the scale in 1 or 2 days. Was better about controlling my snacking lastnight. Kept in mind TOM was near and that I wasn't actually hungry, just hormonal.
    14 Feb- 141.8 lb- Yeeeeep
    15 Feb - No weigh day
    16 Feb- No weigh day. Curious to see what the scale says tomorrow morning! Factor #1, different scale than I used during the week. Factor #2, still TOM & holding water weight. *shrugs*
    17 Feb- 141.6 lb
    18 Feb- 143.2 lb- This has to be hormones and other factors at work!! I hiked 10 miles yesteray!!! & TOM ended. We'll see how long this water weight stays on. Onward and forward!
    19 Feb- 142.2 lb- Still not as low as I'd like it, but better than yesterday!..
    20 Feb- 142.4 lb
    21 Feb- 143.4 lb- Super irritated. WHY?!!?!?! Late dinner?? Having a drink lastnight?? Ugh. Whatever. My husband and I are going out of town this weekend. I'm going to enjoy it. Just count my losses when I return on Monday...
    22 Feb- No weigh day
    23 Feb- No weigh day
    24 Feb- 144.4 lb- Welp... not bad for a weekend of eating out and drinking! Worth it. But now, back to work!!
    25 Feb- 142.2 lb- Awesooooome!! My Feb goal is looking in sight again!!
    26 Feb- 142.2 lb
    27 Feb- No weigh day
    28 Feb- No weigh day
    29 Feb- 142.2 lb- Holding steady, which is great. I haven't been on my best eating behavior. I need to knuckle down and get serious before it backfires!

    Feb total: - 2.6 lb

    10 Feb: 140.8
    11 Feb: 139.6
    12 Feb: 139.6 Went to doctor yesterday, having h.pylori test done today, then to GI specialist if it’s not that.
    13 Feb: 139.0
    14 Feb: 138.6 I’ve managed about 1300 calories for the past few days, so not too bad. Still not feeling well and forcing myself to get food in.
    15 Feb: no weigh in—overnight family trip with the Boy Scouts on the Yorktown
    16 Feb: no weigh in
    17 Feb: 137.6
    18 Feb: 137.6
    19 Feb: 137.4
    20 Feb: 137.2 Still not feeling well, waiting for GI appt on 3/18. I’ve been able to get in up to 1400 cal some days, so I guess that’s fine.
    21 Feb: 137.4
    22 Feb: 137.8
    23 Feb: 137.8
    24 Feb: 137.8
    25 Feb: 138.2 Feeling better, and eating normally again! I have no idea where I am in my cycle—TOM should be tomorrow but I have no PMS symptoms. Maybe the stomach problem and not eating much prevented ovulation?
    26 Feb: 137.8
    27 Feb: 136.4 Spoke too soon, felt cruddy again the past two days. And, TOM was right on time yesterday with absolutely no PMS symptoms!! Whaaaatt?
    28 Feb: 137.2
    29 Feb: no weigh in—out of town visiting friends, and would have felt funny bringing my scale 😀. I guess my February is done!

    Obviously I hit my month goal, but I don’t know if I would have without this stomach issue. It’s been such a weird thing. Oh well, doc appt in March, so hopefully I’ll get answers then.

    JGM1M: FEBRUARY 2020

    Journey so far:
    Jan 2015: I joined MFP at 227 lbs and gradually reduced
    Oct 2016: finally hit my target of 155
    Dec 2018: Had gradually wavered up again to 170s
    Jan 2019: still wavering round 170
    July 2019: bounced up and down between 160 and 170
    Aug 2019: Gave myself the proverbial kick up the a** and buckled down!
    Oct 2019: Set new goal weight of 150 by year end
    Nov 2019: Hit goal late Nov. I’m now focusing on increasing strength workouts
    Aug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
    Sept: -4.71
    Oct: -4.2
    Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)
    Dec: + 4.4 (Christmas indulgences)
    Jan: - 1.3 Goal: under 150. Achieved on 11/01. Popped back up on three days thereafter.
    Feb: - 1.5

    OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
    CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
    LW: 147.8 (Nov 2019)
    FEB SW: 150.1
    GW: Under 150
    Week 1
    Sat 01: 150.1
    Sun 02: 151 😏 Self inflicted. Late night snacking always has consequences
    Mon 03: 150.1 😁 Made better choices.
    Tue 04: 148.6 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Gotta stick with the sensible head.
    Wed 05: 149
    Thu 06: 149.2
    Fri 07: 149.1
    Week 2
    Sat 08: 148.9
    Sun 09: 149.4
    Mon 10: 149.2 💁🏼 These are normal fluctuations, so reasonably happy with them.
    Tue 11: 148.8 💁🏼 Back on the HIIT. Did 30 minutes yesterday. Feeling it this morning.
    Wed 12: 148.4 👍🏻 Hopefully on a roll here.
    Thu 13: 148.8
    Fri 14: 148.6 💁🏼 Losing the last few lbs is so slow. 😂
    Week 3
    Sat 15: 149.6 🍫🍾🍨 Awck! Well, it was just one day. Back at it today!
    Sun 16: 150.1 *sigh*
    Mon 17: 148.6 💁🏼 Phew!!! Back to where I was before the weekend.
    Tue 18: 148.8 💁🏼 Normal daily fluctuations. Working on discarding my last 5 lbs, and on muscle toning, so not entirely unexpected. Clothes are getting loose again. Have had to stop wearing a couple of pairs of trousers as they wouldn't stay up. Will have to get the needle and thread out again! 😂
    Wed 19: 148.8
    Thu 20: 149.6
    Fri 21: 149.6
    Week 1: - 1
    Week 2: - 0.5
    Week 3: 0
    Week 4:
    Sat 22: 149.4 💁🏼I have been down and up again all week. Hope to make a better stab at it in the last week of the month.
    Sun 23: 149.2
    Mon 24: 149.2
    Tue 25: 148.8 💁🏼 Got my biopsy results last week, all clear, but getting my blood pressure checked today at 12.30.
    Wed 26: 148.8
    Thu 27: 148.8
    Fri 28: 148.9
    Sat 29: 148.6


    Looking forward:
    • February: focusing on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
    • 2020 Goal: Stabilise weight around 145
    • Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
    • have prepared healthy snacks available
    • cut down on eating between meals

    Feb 5: 308.6 lbs Hurray for downward trends!
    Feb 6: 308.6 lbs
    Feb 7: 309.6 lbs
    Feb 8: 310.6 lbs
    Feb 9: 311.2 lbs Weekends are bad and worked from home since Thurs so doubly bad. Will do better. Really want to hit that under 300 goal!
    Feb 10: 311.8 lbs Ok, this has gone on long enough. Time to buckle down and get back on track.
    Feb 11: 312.2 lbs Just telling myself it’s residuals and down will come soon.
    Feb 12: 311.6 lbs Finally! Ok, gonna keep this going.
    Feb 13: 311.6 lbs At least it’s not up, I’ll take it!

    Feb 15: 309.9 lbs HURRAY!! Finally going back down. Happy dance
    Feb 16: 308.3 lbs I was worried after having popcorn at the movies. I guess tons of water really does help. Yay!
    Feb 17: 308.9 lbs Well, not what I was hoping for but went out for dinner last night and had some wine so I guess that’s a reason
    Feb 18: 307.7 lbs Ok, here we go. Maybe I can still hit that Feb goal!

    Feb 23: 301.9 lbs Couldn’t make it through the full 5 days of cleanse but made it 3. Hopefully I don’t see negative reactions on the scale in the coming days.
    Feb 24: 300.4 lbs Not going to officially dance until it sticks around for a few days post-cleanse, but Happy Dance!!
    Feb 25: 300.2 lbs Do I dare continue… yep… Happy Dance!
    Feb 26: 300.4 lbs Still okay with this. 3 more days for a half pound to hit Feb goal. Fingers crossed.
    Feb 27: 301.9 lbs Ugg, well I guess I’m coming back to reality
    Feb 28: 303.9 lbs And reality sucks. Just trying to stick to goals and get exercise in and hope my body gets back to losing soon.
    Feb 29: 303.5 lbs Well, I didn’t hit goal, but almost 8 lbs loss isn’t bad for a month. I’ll take it.

    Feb total -7.8 lbs :smiley:

    Heaviest: 212lbs
    February start weight: 198 lbs
    February goal: 193 lbs

    Feb 7: 195.5
    Feb 11: 196.7 (really hoping this is just water weight from strength training)
    Feb 12: 196.1 (better)
    Feb 13: 194.7
    Feb 19: been so sick for the last 5 days. Have not been sticking to my eating plan (feed a cold, right?) and I'm too scared to step on the scale until this sickness is gone. Hopefully will be on the mend soon!
    Feb 21: 196.6 (stupid cold)
    Feb 25: 195.2 (don't think I am going to make my goal this month, but I am trending downwards, so I am happy)

    Don't weigh in at the tom, water fluctuations and wanting to eat all the things make the numbers screwy and it messes with my head, so next month with start with the 193.8 figure.

    Feb start weight: 67.0kg
    Feb goal: 66kg

    4 Feb: 67.0
    5 Feb: 66.8
    6 Feb: 66.2 - not expecting this to last. Was a bit unwell last night, so possibly dehydration and less food on board.
    7 Feb: 66.2
    8 Feb: 66.8 - oh, well, gotta focus on healing for now, but I will keep posting here so I don't lose all focus on healthy eating. Mild head injury, and some swelling to go down. Got to take it easy for a while.
    10 Feb: 66.6 - still v.sore head with some swelling (very colourful black eye), and not back to exercise yet (a little walking, but more resting)
    11 Feb: 65.8 - what?!?! Will see if this lasts...
    12 Feb: 65.8 :)
    13 Feb: 65.8 still
    14 Feb: 65.3
    15 Feb: 65.6
    16 Feb: 65.5
    17 Feb: 65.2
    18 Feb: 65.1 - Woo hoo, going great this month, though I am expecting a bump in numbers soon as we're going away in a couple of days - 5 days of eating/drinking/socialising...I will try and keep a lid on things, but not going to stress about it.
    19 Feb: 64.5 !!! :o
    20-25 Feb - away, no scales, lots of eating and drinking (some of the most incredible meals I've ever eaten)
    26 Feb: 68.0 - well, back to reality with a thud! I'm assuming a good chunk of that is water weight, so trying to drink plenty of water and just carry on.
    27 Feb: 66.8
    28 Feb: 65.8 Wow, glad the water weight theory seems to be holding up
    29 Feb: 65.8

    Yay, not too bad, though can't wait to get back to and past my lows for the month. While I would love weight loss to be faster, I feel this is a pretty sustainable rate for me - fast enough I can see some progress, but slow enough that I can stick with it and still enjoy life along the way.

    Coming month's goal will be another kg loss, and an increase in pilates classes (life has been a bit stressful, so planning to work on carving out my gym time more consistently)
    Also planning to not faint and whack my head in the tiled floor - not an event I am keen to repeat. Black eye finally healed now.

    Starting weight 325lbs 22nd August 2019
    Start weight this month 254
    Goal weight this month 248
    Target goal weight 144lbs though I know it’s going to take a long time to get there!

    Going easy on this month’s goal as this week has been amazing for losses and February is a very short month

    Sept loss 14.9lbs
    October loss 12.1lbs
    November loss 11.6lbs
    December loss 10.2lbs
    January 2020 loss 10.4lbs

    1 February 254.2 up a tiny bit but weighed late in the day.

    2 February 253 woohoo! The lightest I’ve been since I first got my Fitbit in 2013. Pleased to be here again!

    3 February 253.8 humph. Hubby back in hospital and eating late affecting my routine.

    4 February 254.3 Just what I didn’t want but as above hospital visiting and not drinking enough water aren’t helping me. Neither is having to eat my dinner at 10.30pm! Gah 😩

    5 February 252.8 Hooray! A drop at last and hubby is getting out of hospital today. Hopefully things will get easier again now. I’m also officially below my lightest recorded Fitbit or MFP weight 😁

    6 February no weigh in

    7 February 255 aaarrrggghhh but it’s TOM and I can’t really have put that on.

    8 February 253.2 so still above my lowest but going the right way now I hope! 😊

    9 February 251.5 Yippee 😁 lowest in a very long time! I’m doing this! 😆

    10 February 252! Aaarrgghhh! Back up again. Not enough water and too much hot chocolate yesterday! Back on the water today and sensible choices! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

    11 February 251.2 Yay! Pleased with this! Into that next stone bracket. Gotta keep at it and get out the other side too 🤣

    12 February 250.7! Yes! Maybe, just maybe I can make goal again this month! Praying for a good loss tomorrow to get me past 75lbs lost. Happy dance again today!

    13 February 250.7 again lol! Ah well, at least it wasn't an increase. Here's hoping for better tomorrow!

    14 February 249.7! What a great Valentines present to myself. 75.3lbs gone in total now since August 22nd. I am over the moon with this one 😁

    15 February 248.9 Woohoo 🙌 again lol. Delighted with this week's progress! Not expecting to keep losing this way but very very pleased 😀

    16 February 249.4 still happy with this. Though I suspect I fell short on my drinking water yesterday so upping that today.

    17 & 18 February no weigh in hubby rushed into hospital very ill on night of 16th.

    19 February 248.4 new low. Pleased with this. Hubby still in hospital so struggling a bit but keeping to the plan.

    20 February 248.2 a little loss but I’ll take it. Still delighted with being here at last. Lowest I’ve been since 2009 I think!

    21 to 23 February no weigh ins. It's been manic here and I just didn't get around to it.

    24 February 246.8 delighted again with this and hoping it's safe to say I've made goal for this month. With any luck I'll stay under 248lbs until the 29th Feb.

    25 February 247.1 Well it's up but not over 248 so I'll take it! Back to the grind after not using my treadmill for a week seems like hard work. How easy it is to be jolted out of your routine when it was so simple whilst in it!

    26 February 247.6 up again but it’s that time soon so to be expected. Hopefully it won’t go over my goal before the end of the week!

    28 February 245.5

    29 February 242.9 made goal and some and should be delighted but had a really awful day with some horrible things happening. No happy in me today.
