    6 Mar 285.7 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
    7 Mar 285.4 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ not bad I also went over calories but it was all healthy
    8 Mar 284.0 ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š expecting a slow down very soon as this is just too good lol. I also havenโ€™t been trying much really just lowered my overall calories by 750 no exercise.
    9 Mar 284.9 woke up a bit early so my weight is a little higher. But still happy cause itโ€™s going down overall.
    10 Mar 283.7 ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚ if I can keep losing weight like this stress free I am confident I can hit my goal.
    11 Mar 283.8 happy with that ๐Ÿ™‚
    12 Mar 282.9 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ didnโ€™t eat much yesterday so that explains the one pound drop. I expect to gain some back tomorrow but Iโ€™ll enjoy that number in the meantime.
    13 Mar 383.7 ๐Ÿ˜ง was expecting something higher ate more then usual. But overall really happy with how things are going. Eager to start walking not for exercise but just for the fresh air unfortunately itโ€™s still a bit too cold for me.

    Female Age 38, 5'10", Idaho

    Original starting weight Jan 2020: 322 lb
    February 2020 ending weight: 303.5 lb
    Goal weight this month March 2020: 295 lb - Hoping for another 8 lbs this month but would be happy with just getting under 300
    Target goal weight: 175 lb

    January 2020 โ€“ down 10.7 lbs
    February 2020 โ€“ down 7.8 lbs

    Mar 1: 304.1 lbs Had a really bad day yesterday. Very depressed with emotional eating. Gonna try for better today.
    Mar 2: 303.2 lbs Better. Tried really hard to be good yesterday.
    Mar 3: 303.6 lbs Maybe TOM. Not sure since mine is so irregular but fingers crossed since yesterday wasnโ€™t a bad day.
    Mar 4: 305.4 lbs
    Mar 5: 305.9 lbs This is really frustrating since Iโ€™m staying at/below target calories and even getting some exercise in. TOM not started yet but could still be PMS stuff I guess.
    Mar 6: forgot to weigh โ€“ had company
    Mar 7: 303.9 lbs
    Mar 8: 303.8 lbs At least itโ€™s going back down.
    Mar 9: 303.7 lbs I guess weโ€™re going with slow and steady for now.
    Mar 10: 302.6 lbs Finally back below Feb ending. Yay
    Mar 11: 301.8 lbs Iโ€™m seeing a pattern with the first week of the month. I keep going up the first week then coming back down at the end of the month. I guess as long as the down keeps coming Iโ€™ll just deal with it. Come on 299.9!
    Mar 12: 300.6 lbs Excited to hopefully see the 2โ€™s soon!
    Mar 13: 300.0 lbs Soooo close! At least itโ€™s a pretty, round number for my slightly OCD brain. Come on downward trend. Let me see 299.9 (or less, haha!)!

    Howdy, is it Saturday yet? Hanging in there until March 25. I have decided to wash and donate my favorite pants.

    March 1 169.8-171 today. Lovely sunshine but cold. Within cal goals and exercised.
    March 2 168.9 Warmer today - going outside to work in yard.
    March 3 Official weigh-in 168.8 on their scale whoop!
    March 4 weighed early, scale said 165.8 however had not drank, eaten, and now I am stuffed.
    March 5 scale is in a snit and suggesting I am up to 167.4. Ate high sugar today so must repent, going to Y pool and have 'gardened' today.
    March 6 166.0 scale loves me, also checked at Y where scale just weighs whoever 168.
    March 7 afraid of scale 167.8 will drink now and psychically imagine salt and excess fat cells disappearing.
    March 8 yesterday -YMCA scale thought 166, home scale had range from 167 to 165. Bad day else.
    March 9 today IDK, going outside quickly to do yardwork before rest of day, tomorrow is weigh-in Tuesday. My scale jiggling from 166 - 165.8
    March 10 - 167.8 weigh-in down 1 pound, down is good. I do have a couple of errors to not repeat.
    March 11 Cooked for no reason really. Scale is ok 166.6 but frig has turkey in it. Will make a salad-need 1 rib of celery.
    March 12 169 whawk Up the exercise, stop eating. No stuffing or roll ever nor butter on the things I am not having. Where is the thrill?
    March you know what 165.5 on my home scale property sale falling through, ate pumpkin protein pancakes. Took my pills - hope the anti-depression one is kicking in. Going to pool and did a bit in yard for exercise.

    Goal March 32 - 165 pounds anything on official scale.

    I hope you are well. Things are closing down here in Virginia. A bit of allergy issues but that's all for me.

    December: lost 4.1 lb
    January: lost 1.9 lb
    February: lost 7 lb (stomach pain and loss of appetite in Feb)

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

    1 Mar: no weigh inโ€”out of state visiting friends. Weight was 137.2 when I left.
    2 Mar: 135.8 PMS weight gone now

    13 Mar: 138.2 Iโ€™ve kind of gone off the rails the past few days! Ovulation sometimes gives me a crazy appetite, and sometimes it lasts a few days. Iโ€™m hoping tomorrow will be better, but somehow I need to get back on track!

    Nov lost: 10.4lb
    Dec lost: 7.7lb
    Jan lost: 9.1lb
    Feb GAIN: 6lb (bereavement/quit smoking)

    1 Mar - 14st 1.3 (+/-0)
    2 Mar - 14st 1.5 (+0.2lb) - not the right direction!
    3 Mar - 14st 0.4 (-1.1lb/-0.9lb) ๐Ÿ˜€
    4 Mar - 13st 13.4 (-1.0lb/-1.9lb) Yay! Under 14st!ย  Hoping I can keep the motivation up to continue this month.
    5 Mar 13st 12.3 (-1.1lb/-3.0lb) I had put on weight quickly at the end of February, so figuring mush of this recent loss is water, but it is good to see the scale go down :-)
    6 Mar 13st 12.0 (-0.3lb/-3.3lb) quite unexpectedly, I have stuck at this so far in March - and have hit my initial goal, so I am amending my goal to be a total of 6lb loss - which is what I gain in Feb.
    7 Mar 13st 12.5 (+0.5lb/-2.8lb)
    8 Mar 13st 12.8 (+0.3lb/-2.5lb) I was bad last night - went way over calories and did not track.ย  Back on plan today, but I expect the scale will not be good to me tomorrow!

    13th Mar 13st 10.7 (+1.7lb/-4.6lb) ๐ŸคทDidn't stick!ย  Was good yesterday - just the ups and downs of daily weighing!
    14th Mar 13st 9.4 (-1.3lb/-5.9lb) weight really bouncing around here!ย

    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
