    @Arox312 - I didn't have a problem editing my post, but MFP only gives you an hour to edit.

    3/1/17 - 154.8
    3/7/17 - 149.4 (-5.4)

    3/31/17 -

    Ok, before anyone's eyes bug out from that first week, remember that I said I had at least 2.5 of water weight? Turns out it was true. I lost around a pound a day for 3 days! And yes, I was still eating. My Will power is not strong enough to just not eat. I lost the water weight, AND got my "woosh." I was stuck between 152.2 and 152.9 for 2 1/2 weeks!


    March goal: lose those 2.4 fluff pounds that crept on there somehow, and then get to 145 or less by 3/31. this is actually in sight now! :smiley:
    Non scale goals: continue drinking 3+ liters of water a day, stay below calories, and get into single-digit jeans by the end of the month.

    Thank you HRKinchen! Hubby and I put an offer in on a house last week, so we were super stressed with whether it would be accepted, gathering info for the mortgage, getting it inspected, etc. New we have a small reprieve that will be consumed by packing/going through & getting rid of stuff before we can move. On the bright side, yay extra calorie burns there?!

    I was the same. Couldn't find my post in the challenges, then I discovered there is 2 chats with similar names. 5lbs in March. Just look for the one that has new posts and that's the one u are commenting on. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Couldn't edit, the original post, so here is the update. I've put a pound on. After a week off eating 1200 cals, going over only on sugar ( good sugars from fruit) and protein I've gained a pound. I think my bodies went into this starvation mod, I hear about. Hopefully I will lose next week. I am not giving up :)
