🍀🌷March Daily Logging and Weigh-in Challenge🌷🍀

andreajlnhe

Hi All,
I'm back for another month.
I'm a 47 year old, 5' 2", busy mom of 5. I lost 40 pounds and then flirted with my goal weight for almost a year. The scale was going steadily up for several months, so I'm bringing it back down. I'd love to get to my goal weight of 120-123 in the next couple months and then *maintain* it.

March 1: 126.8 ☘️ I logged
March 2: 127.8
March 3: 128.0

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

03/02-195.4-(Trend Weight: 196.5)- Day 2 of no heat in my house. In Northern Michigan that’s dangerous! When power went out Friday night and came back on Saturday morning I didn’t realize it had done something to my furnace. Auto ignition of pilot just won’t work. It comes on but then goes right back off and nothing but very cold air blowing out of ducts. I had to shut it off at the fuse box and turn the gas off to make sure it would not build up gas so it would quit trying to run and warm it up in here. My thermostat has no “off” and the house is colder than the lowest selection so it just kept running. Because I was at the funeral service and dinner until after dark last night, I didn’t realize my house wasn’t getting any heat. Last night was night two of freezing to death. These little ceramic space heaters are only spot heaters so they are not warming up a room, but at least I can stand within 2 feet of them and feel some relief for myself and the cat. They are very tiny but I have 2 of them. Not much help in a 3200+ sq foot house! Of course it’s Sunday and I’m in a very rural area where nothing would ever be open on Sunday’s except the churches. No big box stores here anyway! So I’ve got my 30 year old nephew coming over who’s pretty handy. He has changed out thermo couplers and such in the past. He works as a handyman in the area, but mostly ships off to Oregon to work. Thankfully he’s home right now and will come look at it this morning. I hope he can fix it. He thinks that when the power came back on it may have pushed through some sediment that has to be cleaned. We will not be able to get any parts until tomorrow if we need something new. Fingers crossed for me please. Thank you all for the kind words about my friend Diane. She was beautiful yesterday.

03/03-195.4-(Trend Weight: 196.4)- I know what I did under the veil of darkness last night (snack-wise) so I am happy with my weight staying the same. My trend weight even dribbled down a bit. I also know I need to increase my exercise. My lack of true movement has been ridiculous. I’m not making excuses, but I spent a lot of time in the past months just sitting (or laying down) with my friend Diane as she bravely fought her cancer. She’s in heaven now and it’s time for me to refocus. I still feel ready to do that, even after more emotional eating last night. I am grateful for MFP and all the support from all of you here. My actions need to better reflect that. My BHAG (big hairy-*kitten* goal) looms front & center. { I pirated BHAG from another challenge and MFP friend.) Bring it on! I can do better than just staying exactly the same after 7 full days. I hate just being stagnant but I’m grateful for no gain. It’s been an especially rough week!

Hi, I'm Darlene and am back for another month. I am working my way through the maintenance phase of my journey. I weigh weekly, and record my accomplishments daily. I started this journey in January 2023 and lost 90 pounds. I reached my goal weight in October 2024, went back over my goal in November and then back to my December and have maintained for January and February. This was the first group that joined on MFP and holds a special place in my heart.

Tough night at the bingo table - too many goodies - was doing fabulous until I got there, almost 1000 calories of snacks! I always give myself some wiggle room - but last night was over the top! We leave for Florida tomorrow AM (5:00 AM), driving three days. Will still be checking in!

03/02-195.4-(Trend Weight: 196.5)-

03/03-195.4-(Trend Weight: 196.4)- I know what I did under the veil of darkness last night (snack-wise) so I am happy with my weight staying the same. My trend weight even dribbled down a bit. I also know I need to increase my exercise. My lack of true movement has been ridiculous. I’m not making excuses, but I spent a lot of time in the past months just sitting (or laying down) with my friend Diane as she bravely fought her cancer.

03/04-195.6-(Trend Weight: 196.3)- I’m still eating way too fast which causes me to eat more as I try to fill in a specific time frame that feels normal to me. Growing up I was one of 6. And three of them were brothers who all grew to 6 feet tall. One is 6’5”. It was grab and eat or get none. But I think the biggest influence was my factory job at age 18 when the breaks were short (15 min) and the walk to and from the break room was long. Shovel that snack in! I smoked back then too and had to have time for the cigarette as well. I’m turning 65 this year and old habits are still hard to break. I think I would eat less, especially the snacks, if I would just slow down. When I swallow it whole, I need two protein bars instead of one! This is what I will be working on in the coming days. I hope it will make a difference. My meals, while eating too fast, are still good because it’s a PLATE of food. Those snacks, however, are small. It’s too easy to double up. I’m not a pig, I’m a human. I need to act like one. T-Minus 0.2 on my birthday goal with 9.8 lbs to go by May 10th.
