    Week 1:

    02/01- 173.8 WOOT WOOT. We are getting closer. I've planned my meals for the week and did some prepping. Really going to work on Keto/Low carbs this month. I even made Keto Wonder Bread Chaffles for the week last night for my lunches. Tonight I"m going to make myself some No Bake Keto cookies. I'll try to remember to take a picture and share.
    02/02-174.4 not sure what happened. Thats ok will still take it & run with it. I'm intermittent fasting today.
    02/03-174.2 I'll take it. A loss is a Loss! Intermittent fasting again today.
    02/04-173.2 Happy Happy.

    02/06-172 πŸ’ƒπŸ»β˜ΊοΈ Very happy with my progress! Just need to keep it up & keep working towards the goal! Today is laundry day, clean the house day & go to the store day so I’ll be moving a lot!
    02/07-171 πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ™ŒπŸΌ Very proud of my progress! I just want to keep moving in the right direction. We leave for vacation on the 11th & I don’t know if there’s a scale at our rental. I’ll do my best to stay on track. In the next 4 days I’m going to really work hard to get under 170#. Happy Sunday everyone!

    Week 2:

    02/08-171 no change today. Thats ok better than a gain.
    02/09-171.6 Well this is what I get for not drinking my water and eating a snack before bed. Thats alright.
    02/10-171.8 Not sure what up here! I'll still take it and keep working hard.

    2/23 - 148.4 Fell on the ice and broke my wrist for the second time. Yoga will be challenging, but I'll keep it up and walk where it's safe! Goals: track, stay under calories, avoid bad eating between meals. See? I know how to do this! :smiley:


    @jensam327 Oh No! I am hoping for a speedy recovery for you! Love your attitude in the face of diversity!

    Original starting weight - 231 lbs (12/2/19)
    Feb starting weight - 196.6 lbs (1/31/21)
    Feb goal - 193 lbs
    Ultimate goal - 160 lbs
    Height: 5'8"

    2/5: 199.6 lbs
    2/12: no scale
    2/19: 198.4 lbs
    Due to a 5 lb weight gain over a bad 3 weeks, I am going to start posting daily for accountability.
    2/20: 197 lbs I have been snowed in for the last week and not wanting to be active. I have been trying to be cognizant of what I eat.
    2/21: 198.4 lbs I had chinese food last night so I am sure this gain is from too much sodium.
    2/22: 198.6 lbs I was well under my calories yesterday and went for a run so I don't know what caused this gain. Maybe still sodium from my Chinese meal?
    2/23: 198.2 lbs stress eating. Today is going to be hard as well. I am traveling for my grandfather's funeral.


    @lizziebtothec I am so sorry for your loss. Safe travels to you!

    Challenge Starting Weight (from January 31, 2021) : 207.6
    Challenge Level: ** (10 pound loss)
    Challenge Goal weight: 197.6

    01 Feb: 207.6
    08 Feb: 207.4
    15 Feb: 208.8 This reflects an overnight jump in weight. I went OMAD yesterday but it was a bit starchy. It still feels unfair.
    22 Feb: 207.2 Another overnight jump in weight but still better than last week and less than starting weight so I will take this as an inspiration to make the much needed improvements in my diet and exercise plans.
    28 Feb: 207.5 Water retention from high sodium Chinese food. Thank Goodness we don’t have a Chinese restaurant within an hour of my town or I would really be in trouble. However, there are more trips out of town right now for me or my workers during the remodel so the Chinese is a bit more frequent. Gotta watch it!

    02/08: 181.0
    02/09: 182.3 - grrrrr. Maybe it's sodium?
    02/10: 181.7
    02/11: 182.6 - miscalculated and went over cals
    02/12: 180.8 - first time seeing 180 this month!🌟
    02/13: 179.7 - Wow! Yeah!
    02/14: 185.0 - sodium and sugar from last night

Sometimes a new thing just seems like so much work but this turned out to be so darn easy and delicious to me. I hope those who had a tough week are safe and well rested tonight!

    @nikkit321
    Thank you for keeping us going : - )

    MFP start weight: 191 - October 28.18
    UGW 112-118
    5'2", 60

    Week 1
    02/01 - 137.5
    02/02 - 137.1
    02/03 - 135.9 - Closer to what I felt like I should be weighing.
    02/04 - 136.3
    02/05 - 134.8 - I have felt pretty lean all week. I need to not let the weekend get away with me.
    02/06 - 135.8
    02/07 - 136.1 - All over the place this first week.

    Week 2
    02/08 - 137.5 - Superbowl aftermath. I will work hard to get this back down.
    02/09 - 137.2 - Worked out extra yesterday to try to mitigate Superbowl. Hoping to see a good drop this week.
    02/10 - 134.4
    02/11 - 134.2
    02/12 - 134.3 - We are in a cold snap here for a few more days, so workouts have to be indoors. Yay Youtube!
    02/13 - 135.5 - No reason for this gain except maybe that I drank way more water yesterday.
    02/14 - 135.6 - Lots of water/liquid again, plus it has been too cold to get on the trails for a week.

    Week 3
    02/15 - 136.3 - I had Ribs yesterday. I expect this weight to go up further before I can try to get it back down. It was a choice that I made, but these choices have consequences of course. I used to have Ribs once per week, but I have cut it way back to once per month or less. I know that certain foods are detrimental to weight loss and try to limit them.
    02/16 - 135.3 - Worked out like crazy yesterday, pretty happy to see a drop.
    02/17 - 134.8 - Slept in today, so got a better number
    02/18 - 134.4 - Closer. I was 134.1 in January
    02/19 - 133.3 - New low for me to aspire to now that I have touched it once.
    02/20 - 133.5 - Planning Pizza today, so will try to work out lots before that.
    02/21 - 136.0 - Pizza, beer, and then so much water after the salty pizza. Big jump!

    Final Week
    02/22 136.9 - Not very happy with this number. I was diligent and worked out lots yesterday and ate lightly. Hoping to see a big drop in the coming days. Sometimes when we eat something (like pizza) it takes a few days to show up on the scale. Why can't losses be like that?
    02/23: 136.6 - Had hoped to weigh less this morning. Sticking with it.
    02/24: 135.5 - A bit better
    02/25: 135.1 - Wow, 3 weigh in days only left for the month! I am going to try to be "good".
