MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
February results: +1.4 pounds
February end weight: 139.8
UGW: 130

3/01 - 138.2 (138.9 trend) got over 12,000 steps yesterday and stayed under calories
3/02 - 136.4 (138.6 trend) not sure I trust this number. Kept calories under. Did not exercise or walk. Will see what tomorrow holds.
3/03 - 137.0 (138.4 trend) calories under yesterday, over 12,000 steps.
3/04 - 136.6 (138.1 trend) calories under yesterday but very lazy.
3/05 - DNW - out of town with no scale. Trying to be good and not undue what I've done
3/06 - DNW - no scale
3/07 - 140.2 (138.9 trend) Wish I had a scale over the weekend to help me stay on track. Binge ate yesterday. Should be back on track today. Packed good food for the day and hoping to keep dinner under control
3/08 - 138.6 (138.8 trend) did well with eating yesterday. Got a workout in. Slept well. It's a good day
3/09 - 139.4 (138.9 trend) a bit of a binge last night. Hormones are not being nice to me right now.
3/10 - DNW - didn't have the nerve to step on the scale. Could tell by the bloat it wouldn't be good. Daughter from college has been here this week and cooking for me. I have shown no control and am feeling it. It was nice to be taken care of for a change. She went back last night and I am ready to get back on track. Hopefully tomorrows weigh in isn't too bad
3/11 - 139.2 (139.0 trend) too much snacking last night. Hoping to do better this weekend. Doubtful
3/12 - DNW
3/13 - 140.0 (139.3 trend) continuing to destroy any progress I've made over the past year. Knowing I'm doing it, and doing nothing to stop it
3/14 - 139.2 (139.3 trend) hoping this is a sign of the week to come. Normally higher on Monday than Friday, but today is different. Determined to make this a better week
3/15 - 138.4 (139.1 trend) - pleased with the number. Really wanted to snack last night but stopped myself. Wasn't really hungry, wasn't bored. Trying to figure out why I frequently have the desire to munch.
3/16 - 138.4 (139.0 trend) - went over in calories yesterday. Happy no uptick
3/17 - 137.8 (138.9 trend) - kept calories in check and took a 3 mile walk yesterday
3/18 - 137.6 (138.7 trend) - don't understand the drop. Ate 1/2 a medium pizza last night. Not a wise thing to do going into a weekend. Oh well. Will try to do better today
3/19 - 137.6 (138.6 trend)
3/20 - DNW
3/21 - 140.6 ( 139.0 trend) - rough weekend. Overdid it in a big way. Another week of fixing the weekend mess
3/22 - 138.4 (138.9 trend) - watched my calories, drank lots of water and did some yoga
3/23 - 138.2 (138.8 trend) - back to the weight at the beginning of the month. Goal does not seem attainable any longer, but hoping to still end with a little loss
3/24 - 138.4 (138.8 trend) - sodium was a little high yesterday. Also had some wine that added more calories than I should have had. Planning better for today
3/25 - 136.6 (138.5 trend) - drank as much water as possible and moved a little more. Love seeing this number, but know by Monday it will be back up
3/26 - DNW
3/27 - DNW
3/28 - 137.2 (138.0 trend) - tried to be good over the weekend. Did not indulge on the food and drink like usual. Still went up a little, but not near as much as usual. Still a few days left to try and make some progress. At this point I would be so happy to just see any kind of loss, no matter how small
3/29 - 136.4 (137.8 trend) got a workout in yesterday and fought off the urge to snack before bed

Thanks @nikkit321

I am Dawn. 61, 5'2"
I joined MFP October 28.18 at 191
I averaged a 1 pound loss per month, so very slow.

My ideal healthy weight by plugging in my numbers (height, age, measurements etc.) is 110-118

I was close to the 120s in February of 2021 at 130.6.
I was 131.1 in September of 2021. I somehow gained quite a bit since then, but in March of 2022 I did a cleanse to reset my body and eating habits and ended up with a small loss at the end of the month, the first loss in a long time.

Hello. Despite your best efforts to escape, I found you all again. LOL

I'm Mike. 62, bald, fat, diabetic, 6'0"

April start weight 237.4 (down half a pound since yesterday!)
April goal: Less than my April starting weight. Okay, if I need a number to shoot for, 231. That would be amazing.
June 30 goal: 220.

4/1 237.4

3/31 - 135.2
4/01 - 137.4 - 2.2 pounds overnight?? I had a healthy and active day yesterday, so hoping that it is just a weird fluctuation. I am still going to use my EW from March as my start weight for this month though. No point (in my mind) of counting a loss if it is not cumulative.
