No power day 2 on top of no heat! We may have to go to a hotel tomorrow. Need warmth and a shower and cooking! House is now 41 degrees and an ice storm has trees down in multiple cities and counties. It looks and feels like the apocalypse! no gas available in cities for cars. No water for drinking or for bathrooms. Charged my phone at an emergency 211 / red cross emergency makeshift shelter. From bad to worse! I'll touch base when I can.

Wasn't perfectly successful at only eating foods that were available in early Europe..tomatoes and bell peppers were most difficult to avoid!
I pretty much maintained 138-140 which I feel good about although I'd rather it be more 135-137..just a few pounds more to go. Good luck to everyone in April! πͺ»

March summary: overall lost 3 lbs, but I am more in a maintenance phase so Iβm good with that. The main thing is to be and feel healthier. Iβve notice my energy levels are better and Iβm finding easier to do stairs. My hips still get sore but I can tell things have improved and Iβm more flexible. I plan to continue with Pilates and m yoga and will continue to find ways to get in more steps. See you all in April! π·

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 βοΈ I logged
- March 2: 127.8
- March 3: 128.0 βοΈ I logged
- March 4: 127.8
- March 5: 126.8
- March 6: 126.8 βοΈ I logged
- March 7: 127.8 I really thought the scale would go down today. I'm sick of seeing this number.
- βοΈ I logged: 80 calories over goal
- March 8: 127.2
- March 9: 129.0
- March 10: 128.6 βοΈ I logged: 140 calories under goal
- March 11: 126.6 That's a good result this morning! Keep it up!
- βοΈ I logged: 196 calories over goal
- March 12: 126.6 βοΈ I logged: 187 calories over goal
- March 13: 126.8 βοΈ I logged: 30 calories under goal
- March 14: 127.0 That scale is lying! I've been eating at a good calorie deficit every day for long enough that it should go down again, not up. Even 100-200 calories over my goal should put me at a somewhat decent deficit. Whatever. Our dinner was pretty late in the day last night; maybe there was a lot of sodium or something. Stay the course!!
- βοΈ I logged: 173 calories over goal
- March 15: 126.6 I'm glad the scale moved down. I'm seeing that I'm kinda at the same weight as the 1st of the month though. Keep working!!
- βοΈ I logged: 76 calories over goal
- March 16: 127.2 A disappointing result on the scale this morning. I've been working hard; I really thought I'd see a better result. But given that a week ago I was 1.8 pounds heavier, I guess I shouldn't complain.
- βοΈ I logged: Ate right at maintenance today. I've been planning this all week. Every Sunday I've been going waaaaay over calories, even well over maintenance calories, completely throwing in the towel. I've decided to make Sunday aΒ
plannedΒ day to eat at maintenance, giving myself a one-day break on the calorie deficit while logging everything, to see if that helps.

Last night was roughβ¦ Our 5-year-old woke us up at 2:00 AM with vomiting; took us a while to contain the situation; then I couldn't get back to sleep until past 5:00 AM! I was trying to sleep on the couch because hubby is sick; finally gave up around 5:00 and went to the bed. Then hubby's coughing woke me up several times, so I returned to the couch. And then after falling asleep on the couch, a forgotten alarm went off on my phone and woke me up. Then tried to go back to sleep again. It was past 12:00 PM before I rolled off the couch and weighed. Good thing I didn't have anything scheduled for the day. Anyway, the weight result could be a bit off.
Last night wins a place in the top 5 worst-nights-of-sleep-ever. π₯
- March 23: 125.6 Did not finish logging; probably ate a little over maintenance
- March 24: 126.4 Did not finish logging; sort of threw in the towel
- March 25: 126.6 Time to get back on track. I was doing so well for a while there!! Several family members are recovering from the flu and my sleep has been really disrupted at times. I guess a couple bad nights of sleep can really throw me off. My goal is to get back on track today!!

My March reflectionβ¦.. I'm very happy with the progress I've made this month. I got back into the habit of logging. Look at all those shamrocks I earned! If I will log, I will accomplish my weight goals; it's as simple as that for me.
Eating at maintenance on Sundays was a very good idea, and I plan to continue that. This way I am motivated to continue logging.
My family and I have had a TON of sicknesses this winterβ¦. I plan to increase our vitamin D!

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.

Thank you all! I am going to try to switch to a weekly thread instead of a daily one for next month, trying to move onto the next phase of my journey - I'll pop in a couple times during the month to say hello and see how you are all doing. Love you all.

Ugh I think I hit the P wordβ¦Plateau. I have been at a 500-1000 calorie deficit consistently so I know itβs not diet. I have upped my strength training so I am hoping itβs muscle/water. At least thatβs what I keep telling myself, I almost ate the world yesterday out of frustration. Today I did 30 minutes of strength, 30 minutes of yoga, about to go on a 90 minute walk with the dogs and then a 60 minute stationary bike. Looking back on the month I lost 10.4lbs, fit into a new pair of jeans, threw away 3 fat shirts and a pair of jeans, and today during yoga my head could actually rest on the mat during childβs pose. So lots of wins this month! Onto April!4 -
I am now at a hotel about an hour from home. Energy company is saying another couple days before power restoration. Iβll check back in when I can
