    Female, 59, 5'3"
    MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
    February end weight 154.4
    March goal: 150.3
    May goal: 138.1
    Ultimate goal: 112-115

    Sunday March 01 - 155.3 - Starting up almost a whole pound higher than my February end weight, but definitely going to stay the course. I must have had something salty today, because I had 3 litres of water and am still thirsty, I normally have about 1.5 litres (=6 8oz glasses).
    Monday March 02 - 156.8 - My consumption and exercise calories out were on point, but I think that the jump could be due to liquid from yesterday and sodium.
    Wednesday March 04 - 156.1 - Those 140s are looking elusive, but I will continue to try
    Thursday March 05 - 154.8 - MFP said 139 in 5 weeks. I don't believe that, but it gives me hope : - )
    Friday March 06 - 155.5
    Saturday March 07 - 155.2
    Sunday March 08 - 156.4 - Burned lots of calories yesterday so still had calories left over, but had pita pizza and drinks, so up over a pound. Hopefully lots of it is just salt, we'll see how the next couple of days go to undo this.
    Monday March 09 - 156.7 - Maybe tomorrow this will go back down, I will work out extra today.
    Tuesday March 10 - 157.2 - Not sure why I am gaining, hoping to see it come back down soon, I am working at it.
    Wednesday March 11 - 155.3 - back to day one of this month weight, I'll take it.
    Thursday March 12 - 154.2 - Much better.
    Friday March 13 - 152.1 - New low! Really happy to see this number today.
    Sunday March 15 - 154.5 - Right on track, so hoping to see this drop tomorrow.
    Tuesday March 17 - 156.7 - Ouch
    Wednesday March 18 - 156.1 - I almost let discouragement of this process get to me yesterday. I have to keep logging daily and dig deep to keep on doing this.
    Thursday March 19 - 155.4
    Friday March 20 - 156.5 - Ribs dinner last night.
    Saturday March 21 - 157.2 - Still being self-indulgent.
    Sunday March 22 - 157.8 - I have been burning lots of calories exercising and hiking, I will have to stop eating everything that I feel like having and get back on track.
    Monday March 23 - 156.6 - 8 more days left in the month, I'm going to work very hard to try and drop this number.
    Tuesday March 24 - 156.0 - A week left to try to at least get to my starting weight at the beginning of the month.
    Wednesday March 25 - 156.3
    Thursday March 26 - 156.0 - It would be nice to get down to at least my February end weight, that would mean losing 0.7 pounds over the next days.
    Friday March 27 - 155.7
    Saturday March 28 - 155.5 - I made some bad consumption choices yesterday, hoping that they don't show up. I will work out extra today.
    Sunday March 29 - 156.7 - No reason for the jump other than I had a lot more water yesterday.

    Mar 28 - 154.2 - I'm past my March goal weight! I have never done that before! I can't believe I've been under 160 lbs for two weeks now. I was starting to believe that I would never be able to reach my goals but I did it! If I can do this, YOU can do this! Keep going, the challenge isn't over yet! Finish strong!
    Total loss for March - 7 lbs

    Congratulations!

    Total loss for March -

    For some reason - between yesterday and today I gained 0.8 lbs. No idea what went wrong...I exercised and was under 1200 calories for the day. No extra salt either. :(

    But at least still looking good for the month...probably won't get to the goal but made good progress.

    Have you considered using a trending app or at least a spreadsheet that gives a multi-day average? There's many reason our mass fluctuates day-to-day. Looking at a longer time frame can give a more accurate representation. I'm up 0.8 pounds (by scale) today, too, and I was under my calories yesterday. My ten day average weight is down 0.2 pounds.

    There's some good online resources that use a weighted moving average that gives more importance to more recent weights, but also considers those several days ago. For more information about how/why this works, check out The Hackers' Diet, especially the part about signal and noise.
