I'm so excited to be back for March- hello to everyone! 😊 I'm Kat, 32, 5'1". I have 5 cats and live in the country. I think March will be cold and windy here, but I'm happy to be moving towards warmer days.
Start Weight: 122.6 | Feb. Loss: 5.4lbs | Goal Weight: 100-110 (I'll know when I get closer and may switch to measurements)

3/10: 116.6
3/11: 117.0
3/12: 117.2 So the good news is that I did rally and get a good workout in. The bad news is that I saved a bunch of calories to finish some leftover takeout for dinner so even though it was technically under calories, eating a big meal before bed didn’t work out too well. This week is kicking my butt! 😆
3/13: 116.6 Back in the right direction, but still a long way to go! It’ll take this time to appreciate a small win in noticing that I’ve actually begun to enjoy some of my healthy meals, especially my breakfast overnight oats. They have been a game changer!5 -

Sweet. Perfect. They are 170 calories for a tiny little cookie. After 3 days of "just one more" I'm popping those suckers in the freezer. At least it will slow me down...

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

Spoiler
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!

I salvaged a decent week from what looked like it was trending toward a gain based on my morning weigh-ins. I also did this without extended fasting, which is my usual go-to when I have several consecutive bad weigh-ins.
I need some good weigh-ins before my Dr appointment on Mar 20. Discipline, focus and purpose will be the key for the next few days.Heaviest Weight: 210 BMI 36.0

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖
q5njf2rdn6nb.png
My Goals for March
⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal), but happy with any loss
👣 17k Steps Daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range
💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
🧘♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
🫀 Aerobics 3 days per week
💦 6+ glasses of water
👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘♀️ 🫀💦

March starting weight: 156.8
🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃
Spoiler
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 15: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.4 -

March 7: 65.5 kg
March 8: 66.0 kg
March 9: 67.1 kg (After three heavy meals for son’s birthday celebrations yesterday). I don’t regret that, we need happy carefree days and eating on select days or else this diet / lifestyle isn’t worth having. I can revert the gains.
March 10: 66.1

March 12: 66.2
March 13: 66.5 shucks that I am now weighing more than I did at the beginning of the month, but I got nobody else to blame! I guess I should stop eating back exercise calories ? I have eaten back exercise calories today too, so tomorrow if my weight is still high then I will brace myself and stick to only the allowed calories without any grace for workouts. Plus I am supremely bloated 😬

Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.
March goals:
* broaden my scope of healthy meals to include more substantial plant based recipes
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb- it's working well for me
* this is a big birthday month- enjoy all the celebrations, keep moderation in mind!

No greasy fried foods! I feel like I’m just a bit burned out on the whole diet journey. I’ve got to pull myself back up by my bootstraps. I still have a long way to go.
03/15-181.2-(Trend Weight 180.3)- Too many carbs though the calories were okay. I’ve been spending ALL my time on the computer shopping shopping shopping for the Reno project. Since I live in the boonies with no real stores it’s a chore to shop and choose every little detail for a primary bedroom with ensuite bath and new walk-in-closet (instead of double closets). Trying to find the best prices too, of course, and hopefully a lot of it will be free shipping. I really need to fit in my exercise which I have not been doing. This whole thing is just a recipe for disaster. I must find time for me and my goals! I usually don’t weigh on Fridays due to my school schedule with the grandson, but I was able to fit it in today at a reasonable hour (10:10 am).

My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃
Spoiler
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 15: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
Mar 16: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 💦 And there it is again!

Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.
March goals:
* broaden my scope of healthy meals to include more substantial plant based recipes
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb- it's working well for me
* this is a big birthday month- enjoy all the celebrations, keep moderation in mind!

03/14-181.0-(Trend Weight 179.9)-
03/15-181.2-(Trend Weight 180.3)- Too many carbs though the calories were okay. I’ve been spending ALL my time on the computer shopping shopping shopping for the Reno project. Since I live in the boonies with no real stores it’s a chore to shop and choose every little detail for a primary bedroom with ensuite bath and new walk-in-closet (instead of double closets). Trying to find the best prices too, of course, and hopefully a lot of it will be free shipping. I really need to fit in my exercise which I have not been doing. This whole thing is just a recipe for disaster. I must find time for me and my goals! I usually don’t weigh on Fridays due to my school schedule with the grandson, but I was able to fit it in today at a reasonable hour (10:10 am).
03/16-181.2-(Trend Weight 180.4)- No progress at all. Meals were on par but the snacks were too much of a good thing. It makes me feel like I’m paddling like hell but getting nowhere. I think I have begun to eat my dinner a little too early again leaving too much time for nighttime snacks and bingeing. It would be better to have a snack earlier in the day and a later dinner. I think the calories would be more controlled that way. Time to experiment and possible tweak.

I was nervous about taking my cat back to the vet(everything was fine, trying a special diet) and didn’t make the best food choices yesterday. Maybe the extra calories can be good sometimes?? Starting my day late today so I’ll have to get in some morning protein and nutrition.3
