Good job to all of you who lost weight. March was a bust for me. I stopped low carb and switched to counting calories and all that I lost came packing back on no matter how careful I was. So here is to starting yet again but just doing counting calories this time.0

Weight lost/gained this week: -1.6
Weight lost/gained this month: -7.7
Successes/struggles this week:
15 Mar - Reached my very 1st goal, to get to a BMI of 27
22 Mar - Eating out twice this week at waaay over goal slowed my progress
29 Mar - More eating out and now my weight is on the rise. I need to reel it in.
1 Apr - That jump on the 29th was just water retention, so Im glad I was able to get that off.
What a difference a day makes, I gained 0.6 lbs since yesterday the 31st, so my actual total month loss is 8.3 lbs. But WHO CARES?! I reached my goal for this month regardless and Im **super** thrilled!
See you all in the April thread!!0 -

Successes/struggles this week: ok, so I did not meet the goal I set for myself. In the past I could just drop 3 or 4 pounds easily. Not so this time around. Still, I am going in the right direction which makes me happy. I got a Fitbit charge hr for my birthday and this will help me accurately track. I hope we do this for April, too. It really helps to have the community.0 -

Name: Strawberry
Age: 50
Height: 5' 10"
Start Weight (1st March): 228.8
Goal Weight (1st April): 219 or about 99kgs This would be amazing but will take some effort as I've only lost on average under 2 pounds a week so losing 10 in a month will need some serious effort...
1st March: 228.8
8th March: 227.3
15th March: 224.8
22nd March: 221.5
29th March: 221.7
1st April: 220.4
Weight lost this week: 1.3lbs
Weight lost this month. 8.4lbs
I can be proud of March Effort. Apart from losing 8.4lbs for the month I have started on my Bikram YOga Journey and though it is tough I'm loving it. Not quite there with my original goal for the month of 219 lbs bit 220.4 is pretty dam close and I'm happy. I knew it was a stretch when I made the goal and really all I wanted was to get under 100kgs by the end of MArch and I did that even if it is only by .1 of a Kg. Good Month!!!! I'm happy,,, April will be easier month with a more realistic goal - lets say a consolidation month, By the way did I mention I'm happy!!
WK 1 A better week, hitting the exercise hard, well hard for me and this is starting to show.. Yay me!! Though not feeling confident about reaching the March Goal
Wk 2 Not the best week & not the best start... Far too much high sugar & empty calorie foods. Focus girlfriend... Focus... Pretty good movie to by the way..
WK 3 Surprised by this result. Haven't had the best of weeks but a great loss and I feel more positive about racing my March goal
Wk 4 7.1lbs - Grrrrrrrr... so cranky with self So close to my goal I can taste it yet the self saboteur came in to full flight and I spent a whole day eating non stop. I'm lucky it was only a .2 of a lb increase. Probably won't make it now but still overall the month has been a good one

Weight lost/gained this week: 0
Weight lost/gained this month: lost 4
Successes/struggles this week:
March 1 - struggling with bloating and constipation
March 8 - eating within 1200 calories
March 15 - mild bloating (no salads for 2 days and no mini meals throughout the day),
dealing with hubby who wants to eat not healthily
March 22 - Again suffering from bloating, trying to have higher fibre foods and flax, Hurt back yesterday so unable to exercise, still sore today.
March 29 - Had terrible week, Gained 4 pounds and lost 4 pounds, only explanation I can figure is a combination of Ground Flax seed (2 tbsp/day) was too much and I was blocked up combined with the pain killers I was taking last week due to hurt neck/back. Thankfully I've managed to loose it again. Stopped the Flax and ate corn to help pass the block, it worked.
Managed to hit the target of 155. Learned alot this month about my body.0 -
