🍀Happy March, ladies!🍀

🍀The weather's changing and so are we! What do you hope to accomplish in this new season? And what recent changes have you made that are working well for you?

💚 If you've never been here before, please know you are welcome to join at any point in the month. All you have to do is post something, and then BAM! you're one of us.

💚 In this group, we post our weekly and monthly goals and provide support and motivation to each other as we share our triumphs and our struggles. This group is all about accountability.

    Total month loss:

    Weekly goals:
    -At least 2 day at gym - 1 cardio, 1 strength
    -64 oz of water each day


    I fell off in February. Not exactly sure where it just went wrong really. Weight just crept back up. Maybe started with high sodium somewhere as the masking. Mom has some massive bad carbs around but I don't go overboard. Bad about water though. Overloaded at work so didn't get to the gym the last few weeks.

    I had a massive blood sugar spike a few weeks ago so I thought for certain I'd have a bad A1C yesterday for my primary visit. My parents rather dismissed it being bad but it felt horrible. I don't want to feel like that again. DH and a good friend had the proper concerned response though. Should that ever occur again I need to have them check in with me to ensure it came down. I thought I should have warned them during but I hadn't. Doctor wasn't concerned in any way.

    Dr visit yesterday I thought for sure I'd get a med based on my glucose testing in the morning for months after the last visit was still high. It ended up being great. Quite shocked by that. No med for me.

    Was looking into a few meal planning apps. One I tried and didn't care for the layout and what they offered. Had started on my cookbooks as well along with finding another website for recipes to try.

    I’m Kristin. 41 years old.
    I gained weight back cause I quit logging.
    I need to log the good the bad and the ugly.i will loose 10 pounds this month! I will lean on this group multiple times a week. I do not need fast food, or pop. I need to get workouts in 5 times a week. Let’s get ready for spring!
    March1- 229.4

    Hi Kristen! Great to meet you. 10 pounds is an ambitious goal, but with hard work you can get there. I would be thrilled to be down another seven or eight this month. Please feel free to add me to your friends, and I will encourage you.

    I am just starting out with MFP with a focus on Macros. I had surgery in February so am restricted to walking this month. My goal is to maintain weight (I’d take a loss) as a realistic goal through nutrition focus.

    SW: 256.4
    GW:185 (I am 5ft 9 inches)
    March GW finish 250-256.4 and ease back to exercise.
    Goal is 120 ounces of water a day
    Track honestly every day by writing before biting. My body will inform the world
    Of my food choices so if I eat a 1600 cal carb filled meal I will track it and move on.

    Looking forward to learning from the community!

    💚Log everything in grams until Japan trip ✅
    💚Do not deviate from the workout plan! Except maybe the Japan trip ✅
    💚Check in with this thread every. day. until the Japan trip ✅

    It's been one day, but so far so good :lol:

    Today! I would normally go to the gym, but my mom and a couple of friends want to go to a quilt show, so I'm doing that instead. I'll do splits training and, if I put my pole back up, some pole conditioning, when I get back. It's so nice to have the option to do pole conditioning at home.

    By poplar (kids) demand, we're having buffalo wings (baked) and quesadillas (I'm having my low calorie tortilla kind) for dinner. This morning's breakfast will be an egg white sandwich with low calorie bread and laughing cow, and some defrosted cherry-berry mix. I'm not sure what lunch will be, since I'll be out, but I have prelogged the plan I just made, and I've got half of my calories available, which should be plenty for some options.

    Tag party time!

    @itladyee the weather is getting nicer, and I'm so excited about it. I know you'll kill your step goal this month, and all your other ones. :smiley:

    @sarah12277 that blood sugar spike sounds scary, but you also sound ready and willing to make changes to ensure it doesn't happen again. Finding a good meal planning strategy is so hard! Mine has changed so many times, haha. These days, I do my grocery shopping through aldi online to pick up, so I'm just looking at recipes, filling in my little colorful word document, as I order the groceries. A lot of moving parts, but I have a repertoire of low-calorie high-protein meals now in my head that I just adjust those as I go.

    @kristinwoods919 absolutely! I'm here to support, here are my pom poms,🎆🎆 yes I know they're fireworks, shhhh haha (these are for everyone!). One thing I do when I really want to get fast food, is I run into a grocery store and pick up a whole rotisserie chicken. Just as inexpensive and ready to eat, and jam-packed full of protein. And! I get full before I eat all of it, which is a thing I can never say for any fast food, ever. :lol:

    @Dia_R hi! Welcome to the March thread!

    @MzNelson24 hi and welcome! I know you can make positive changes in your life, and we're all here to support you. I am not on MFP except in the forums, so I wouldn't make a good MFP friend, haha. But I look forward to supporting you if you keep posting here! You can do it! :smiley:

    @mkey1220 heck yeah another queen focused on her macros! I do both, but I do see such a huge difference when I prioritize protein. I'm way less hungry for the same calories. Welcome!

    @carley_marie83 a loss is a loss! Weight loss isn't a sprint it's a marathon! Permanent change to habits happens slowly! You've got this. 💪

    Have a great Saturday, everyone!

    Update: The first day on vyvanse of course tells very little, with the placebo effect. But I drank a lot more water yesterday, and had zero impulse to overeat. It was easy to stay within my goal calories without cravings. So if that’s from the medication, I’ll count the W, placebo or not. I don’t expect a pill to make me lose weight. But I know my own good decisions will accomplish that!

    I’m trying to learn the format here. Hope this works!

    two thoughts occur to me. Are you drinking enough water during the school day? If you are coming home dehydrated, your body might misread that as being hungrier. Also, my doctor suggested that if I wanted to lose, I should set my calories no higher than 1500 cal per day. Maybe bumping yours a little lower would shake things up?

    Hi everyone! I'm Melissa, 38 years old, 5'8" tall, and I started my weight loss on Nov 1 2023. I weighed 263 lbs then, which is exactly 100 lbs overweight for my height, and in 4 months I've lost 39 lbs. I have a lot of mental health struggles but I'm just working at getting healthier both physically and mentally just one day at a time.
    🍀The weather's changing and so are we! What do you hope to accomplish in this new season? And what recent changes have you made that are working well for you?
    I really want to start walking more for exercise! I feel like I've posted this in every month but with the weather warming up and the sun coming out more in the past week it feels a lot more attainable now. I even spent Christmas money on new walking shoes, so it's been a goal for a while. I love walking outside so I'm really looking forward to spring! As for recent changes, I've just been keeping up with trying lots of new recipes and everything has been great. I'm trying to work in more and more vegetables and fruits, too.
    🍀What things have you been doing that increase your confidence or make you feel proud? Please share the things that make you feel the capable and self-assured.
    I've gotten into painting my nails as a fun way to express myself and build confidence and it's been great! I think feeling self-assured can be very challenging so I'm hoping to get more ideas about small things I can do to boost myself.

    My goal for March is to lose 5 lbs, work in more stretching and exercise, and cook more healthy homemade meals. I'm trying to learn more vegetarian recipes too! I'm also trying to slowly improve my protein and fiber intake.

    Thanks. I drink a ton of water, so it's not that. But yeah, maybe cutting down on cals--although I'm already feeling hungry so I do worry about that part.

    I appreciate the feedback.

    March 4: 182.4

    I was at a work conference for most of last week where I couldn’t weigh my food - so I’m thrilled to still have a loss this week! I was HUNGRY because I couldn’t get enough vegetables (usually a great filler) due to the amount of people at the conference and not wanting to take more than my fair share. But, I had packed a good amount of protein bars and sugar free snacks, so I ended up being ok and not going overboard. Hooray!

    Goals this week:
    - log and weigh all my food
    - Work out with weights 3x/week
    - Stay with allotment for carbs

    I feel like the worst is behind me in terms of logging - the first week is usually super painful for me between “hunger” (read: missing sugar) and feeling like it’s such a hassle to weigh everything, etc. But this is week 3 and I’m feeling good and motivated. I’d like to hit my goal weight by summer (which would be a loss of about 5lbs/month) but we’ll see.

    Sending love to you all!

    🦋Monthly Check In • 3/4🦋

    SW: 237
    LW: 234.8
    CW: 234.4
    GW: 165

    February was ROUGH for ya gurl!!

    But, I’m pushing through giving myself a clean slate for the new month.

    One thing I want to improve from last month:

    I ate out a lot last month, so I want to incorporate some form of meal prep in my routine. There’s usually 1-2 days I’m out of the house for Dinner, so having 2-3 meals and a couple snacks prepped should cut out the door dash shenanigans.

    One thing I enjoyed from last month:

    I slept a lot, and as much as I want that to be a bad thing; This is the first month I’ve felt rested and not like I’ve been hit like a brick when I wake up.

    February Goals:

    ✖️64oz of water a day
    ✔️ 7-8 Hours of sleep a night
    ✖️ 225 on the scale

    March Goals:

    🦋 Stick to IF hours
    🦋 15 Workouts for the month
    🦋 229 on the scale

    Fun fact: Butterflies are my favorite animal!

    Good morning everyone!

    Staying in the 182s, so my average weight is decreasing still. Back on the wagon for today, I'm at work, I have my prepped food, I have a plan for dinner, a little sweet treat after, and I'm going to the gym tonight. We're looking good for today.

    What happened yesterday: I forgot we had to go to a birthday party until literally an hour before, lol. After I'd eaten more food than I would have if I were planning to go. But it's fine. One day is not going to do any damage.

    It's going to be a struggle today, Babby woke up a lot last night, so I feel like I've been hit by a bus, lol, but I didn't cancel my gym for tonight, still going.

    And! My work trip got cancelled, so I won't have to deal with too much restaurant food and irregular workouts before I head to Japan, which works well.

    Tag party time!
    @Dia_R I love that you've embraced the format, haha! I love a good tag party. One thing I do that definitely sends notifications, not sure if your way will, is that I type @ and then the username, and that definitely sends a notification to the user. I'm so glad to hear the new med isn't messing with your progress!

    @mkculs13 I hear the tired possibly working to your advantage! If I'm tired enough, I'll go to sleep happily instead of staying up late to snack, haha. I'm also a late-night binger- so many good snacks, so little time. I have to constantly tell myself that my snacks will still be there tomorrow for me to work into my day.

    @mmatcha_latte nothing like a nice walk outside, and I love the goal to do more homemade meals. I've got one recommendation: East, by Meera Sodha, is one I come back to over and over for vegetarian meals.

    @liketoyak hi, welcome to the best thread on MFP! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

    @girlinkaz744 Good for you! being away from home is so hard to maintain a deficit, so that is a HUGE accomplishment! Also welcome!

    @CeCeFlyy Good to see you again! February was rough for both of us, haha. But we're going to do it!! I'm a huge proponent of meal prep, I know that's going to be great for your progress. Butterflies are so cool! Whatsisface has a garden, and I love when they appear. :smiley:

    Have a great day, everyone! Monday, let's crush it!

    [Stats & Goals]
    Starting Weight: 223.6 January / 0
    Starting Weight: 215.0 February / 8.6
    Starting Weight: 215.4 March / 8.2

    Goals for 2024 > Trend downwards. My ultimate goal weight is between 140 - 150. While I'd like to lose about 5lbs a month, I'm focusing instead on actions that could/should result in that loss.
    - Exercise - 6x a week (changing plan for March)
    - Water - working towards 80 to 100 ounces daily
    - Better Nutrition *Work in Process
    - Less Alcohol * Work in process. Much drier March..targeting January's success.
    - Get back to 10,000 steps a day (minimum) ~ weather is getting nicer so much more "doable"
    My Mantra:

    🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
    Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳


    3/2 214.8
    3/9
    3/16

    Update for 3/2 weigh in. A good number :) It's actually the lowest I've seen in 2024!

    Beginning of March Check In:
    Jan: -9lbs
    Feb: -4lbs

    This month, I'm working on building strength (2-3x a week) and doing cardio to make my heart happy--both literally and figuratively--with swimming and a dance class (2-3x a week).

    I met with a dietican today and we hammered out some numbers that I needed help with (macros, grams of protein, calorie goals, etc). She was lovely and super encouraging and if you're at all thinking about going to see a dietican (dieticans have more training than nutritionists), I would definitely recommend it.

    Looking back at my food log, I ate a lot of protein bars as meals, usually because I was in rush. So this month, I'd like to concentrate on eating full meals and getting in lots of veggies. I also need to increase my protein intake by 20 to 30 grams, so I might check out some protein shakes.

    I was really discouraged when I got on the scale at the end of February and saw that I had *only* lost four pounds. While I know this isn't a rational feeling, and it goes againist my whole mantra of taking things slowly and building better habits, I still felt down. Which is why I can't weigh myself more frequently than once a month, because I know it affects my mood. I don't know what I was expecting the scale to say (maybe another -9 like I had in January...which I know was half water weight) but losing one pound a week is still good progress. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.

    Something I'm proud of is that for the last two months I've exercised 16 and 15 times respectively. My body is coming to like working out and even expecting it. It's a great feeling. I'm also learning to listen to my body when it says it needs to rest, too.

    Overall, in March, I want to just keep my head down, not make any big changes, and keep slowly putting one foot forward.

    Happy March, everyone!

    Hey everyone!
    New to the community, not new to logging and tracking and drinking water and, and, and……
    Went through some life changes and ended up with 252 pounds on my 5’4 frame. April 15th 2023 had had enough and have lost just a touch over 50 pounds so far.
    I read that so many of us saw February come and go with good intentions but like myself just could not keep it going. Well I’m back at it. I need to ditch my sugar cravings! They are wild right now. I love working out but motivation of course kills me! I have a very active job but sometimes that throws me… does anyone else have a very active job and don’t really know how to work caloric needs into it? I did so well last summer I need to get that mojo back and get some more weight off.
    So tonight I reevaluate my goals:
    CW 200 was 195 in December.
    Height 5’4
    UGW 155 - 160
    First Goal 192 April 15. My one year 60 pounds
    This month I want to focus on getting back on track and finding the right caloric and macro balance.

    Happy to be here and excited to not do this alone anymore!!!

    Last night I went on a walk with my husband. I didnt get to go as fast as I normally go, he has severe back problems, so he doesnt walk well. We both needed it. I am going to try and walk on lunch today, its suppose to storm tonight.

    I've trying to cut calorie here and there, especially earlier in the day. Not a lot, like 5%, just to tic down the total logged each day b/c I still go over my goal, although I usually have at least some deficit.

    I have a weekday off, which is rare except in summer (as a teacher), so I plan to go out and hike some with the dogs.

    Have a good day, all.

    February was not as nice to me as January...
    Moving forward this March!! I am already ahead of the game with my movement that I have been talking about for the last couple of months. I really enjoy doing "walk at home" videos when the weather isn't as nice out and really I like doing them in addition to going for actual walks because it's set at an aerobic pace and it's just really nice and simple (not too simple, I def. get a workout). I have been aiming for 3 days a week.
    My calories are set so low right now (1360 base goal) that I have a hard time having much of a deficit unless I work out.

    UGW 160 and I'll reassess.

    The solidarity I feel regarding the sloppy/messy/undisciplined February are STRONG. It was interesting to see how small backslides could send me off track for days. I did have several trips/celebrations during the short month that I don't think I was fair regarding expectations. I need to be more realistic about the fact that I will have to have maintenance weeks built into life as I work toward the weight loss goal.

    March Goals:

    * Log my calories EVERYDAY (good, great and most importantly, UGLY)

    * Climb to the 25th floor at work 3 times daily.

    * Exercise 3 times a week at minimum (running or strength, with at least 1 being strength).

    * Complete a monthly plank challenge

    Good morning everyone!

    181.4 this morning! A huge drop, we'll see if it sticks around.

    I had an extremely long (15.5 hour) day yesterday being an election official, with the upside being that I only could eat the food I brought- I couldn't leave the site all day. I got lightheaded a couple times just because I wasn't taking breaks like I should've, but I ate and it went away. I meant to check in last night, but I was so tired. Well, not so tired I didn't get a little extra exercise last night :wink:

    Today! I'm at work with my prepped meals, and I'm taking the girls to gymnastics after school, which means I am going to be eating just what I buy for dinner, and no more than that, so I just have to make sure I buy the right thing.

    Tag party time:
    @itladyee way to go!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    @RavenStCloud you're doing really great, I completely understand the feeling of being disappointed with something reasonable. We all shoot for the moon, haha, but we land in the stars still!

    @99overlook welcome! I can't wait to start hearing more from you, this is the best thread in MFP (imho).

    @kristinwoods919 love a good walk, and increasing TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) by doing it. :smiley:

    @mkculs13 a hike with the dogs sounds so fun!

    @sharon81 February was bad for you and me both, haha. I totally get the exercising to make up for more eating at a huge deficit, the one thing I would make sure of is that you're counting all your food correctly, because everything counts, with a calorie count that low. I think what you might find is you can keep a deficit with a higher calorie limit if you track carefully, but worth playing around with.

    I used to think I had to have 1200/day, and it was unsustainable- and I was still not making as much progress as I wanted, so I was miserable, felt doomed to failure. Turns out, I'm really good at not counting handfuls of chocolate chips or spoonfuls of peanut butter. :blush: So my calorie limit for a reasonable weight loss was much higher than I thought it was.

    @skintight303 YES TO MAINTENANCE WEEKS! THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT!! I read a metaphor I love for this- weight loss and the will to do it is like filling a tub with water, where the tub having water in it is weight loss- if you try to do it for too long, the water will overflow the tub and you'll dive headfirst into treats, so you have to manage your "water level" and "pull the drain" - aka have maintenance weeks- every once in a while so you can keep the tub as full as you can for as long as you need it.

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Good morning. I am so happy that I logged in this morning after over a month and found this thread! I fell off BIG TIME and I have got to get back to it for my health and sanity for sure. I fell every single pound and not in a good way. Thank you for all of your inspiration here. I think I can!

    Good morning everyone!

    180.8 today! The downward slide continues, which is fun! It's got to stop soon, but until it does, my average is going down, which is great.

    Tonight! Going to try for some splits practice at home- I've got the girls tonight, Whatsisface is going to some work thing, so we're going to take the opportunity to eat spicy ramen for dinner, which he doesn't care for, and hopefully all chill.

    Time to do my meal planning for next week and put in my grocery order at Aldi. I enjoy the clean slate of an empty meal prep week- I can do what I want with it.

    @mtumale welcome! I have two littles, 5 and 8, so I totally get it. I'm also 5'4"! This is the best thread on MFP, I can't wait to get to know you some more. :smile:

    Have a great day, everyone!
