That's amazing @kirstie155! You will see a 189 in no time!! I on the other hand have just gotten back from 5 days away with family and it was a food bonanza, I've put on 5 pounds
. I'm hoping it's just like your weekend a few weeks ago and it will come off pretty quickly. Super clean day coming up... 0 -
@1fit_mamma Im sure your 5# will fall right off too once you get back in the swing of things, its just bloat! Mine was 192 this morning after a naughty dinner to celebrate a good review hubby had. New day!1

I'm feeling much better this week! I stayed pretty close to my calorie goals over the weekend and worked out at the office gym during lunch 3 days! I hope everyone else is feeling good about March. Come on Spring!0 -
Everyone is doing fantastic this month! Way to go!
So since we were discussing weightgrapher last month, I thought it'd be appropriate to throw this in here.
I managed to forget my password for it and when I went to recover my password it told me I needed to be logged in to see that page. -_- So I sent an email regarding that issue but that got me looking for an alternative while I waited for them to get back to me. (They still haven't) which leads me to this.
I started using Trendweight.com. It's a little more detailed for those who like to have more info and plus if you have a FitBit (which mine is linked to MFP) all you have to do is record your weight into MFP and that takes care of FitBit and Trendweight so it may save you a few seconds of your day.
But anyway, Trendweight tells the following: (and it has a graph too!)
Weight Change Over Time:
Since yesterday: -0.1 lbs
Since a week ago: -0.1 lbs
Since two weeks ago: 0.0 lbs
Since a month ago: 0.0 lbs
Statistics:
You are gaining 0.0 lbs/week of total weight.
You are burning 23 cal/day less than you eat.
You have been tracking your weight for 11 weeks.
You have 76.3 lbs to lose to reach your goal weight.
You must cut 523 cal/day to match your plan.0 -
@WifiresGettingFit I have heard Trendweight also has an app. My phone can't use it hence why I went with Weightgrapher at the time haha. I am going to try Trendweight to see what kind of data it gives me.
ETA: Ah it says I have to connect a FitBit or something in order to use it. Now I remember why I used WeightGrapher lol.0 -
@VeryKatie Yeah that's the only downside, they don't seem to let you manually enter your data. I meant to mention that in my post above. Hopefully they'll change it in the future. I actually thought it was going to be completely unusable for me as well because I don't have a Fitbit Aria Scale or the other ones it list but apparently it works just with a FitBit account as well.
EDIT: Actually I was wrong, they don't have an app. Trendweight FAQ but I do believe you can set up a FitBit account without actually having a FitBit.

I'm a little late to the party but I would like to join! Not sure what my exact weight was at the beginning of March but I'm currently sitting at 191.2 lbs. - my goal is to be 187 by the end of the month.0

I am on day 2 of "back to the plan." I went out of town and toured atlanta with a very pregnant friend and ate and ate and ate....eeeeeeeee..tried to stay moving but not the usual workouts or moving.back to it!0
-
Never too late @girlalmighty08. Trips away are so hard @krizaten33! I can't get out of the relax mentality in regards to food, and find it really hard to count calories when you're trying to be social. If anyone has the secret please share! 0

Goal: 3/31: 187.0#
Ive been on a pretty strict diet since the beginning of the year, and am starting to relax it a bit. I'm down about 13# already, so happy about that (wish it was more!) but weight loss will probably slow as I relax a bit on the diet. Being too strict for too long isnt good for me :P
@samlovesthesnow awesome job on the race, thats fantastic-well done!0 -
Starting. 177.2
3/20- 177.2..jumped way up..and back down after fun trip to atlanta with a friend....keep it going...
goal 175 feels realistic!1 -
I had a pretty good weekend....not food wise lol. We were very productive. We painted our dining room, installed our new chandelier, and put together our new entertainment center for the living room.
The first 2 people (besides my husband) mentioned that I looked like I lost weight which was awesome. Also, I had to go bridesmaid dress shopping at David's Bridal. When the consultant asked what size I was I said probably a 12. All of the 12s she brought were too big and I had to size down to a 10! Very exciting for me My jeans are also getting a little too loose so hopefully I'll size down there soon too.
Hope everyone else's March is going well...Happy First Day of Spring!2 -
@krizaten33 Yeah you can get to 175! That's great that your weight has recovered from your fun trip!
@samlovesthesnow Great job on the 3-day obstacle race! That is amazing! Sounds so fun!
@Kirstie155 being too disciplined for too long can definitely be brutal! 13 lbs is huge!
@jennamae102 that's an amazing NSV!! Woohoo!
I'm still recovering from WAY overindulging in my hometown over the weekend, but I was good yesterday and stayed within my calories+exercise calories. My goal of 122 isn't looking good for this month as I weighed 128.4 this morning, but I'll keep pushing. Since I'm going to start serious triathlon training next week, I envision getting in pretty good shape pretty quickly in April. My family noticed my weight loss over the weekend, which was encouraging. However, my brother said my grandma told him I looked better when I "had more meat on [my] bones". Can't please everyone! 0 -
Just noticed I entered my last weight wrong... it should have been 191.4 on March 17th... and now my weight this morning is 192. I haven't changed anything in relation to my nutrition so I'm hoping it's just a little bit of water or something from the high intensity gym sessions I've had lately. I'm still such a sucker for the number on the scale, ugh.0

I was very shocked this morning, I was not expecting a big loss this week! I think this is the lightest weight I can recall being in nearly 10 years....quickly approaching the 150s and a shopping trip 1 -
@jennamae102 congrats on the loss!! That is so exciting!
2/28: 127.2
3/31 goal: 122
3/24 weight: 125.2
Hasn't been the best month, but I'm glad to have gotten rid of my weekend indulgence water weight. I weighed 131.4 on Monday! My goal doesn't seem like it'll happen but I'll keep trying. I've done pretty well riding my bike to work and running 5 miles a week! I've gotta get back to tracking in the spreadsheet because I love seeing that info all together.1 -
3/17 - 191.4
3/22 - 192.0
3/24 - 189.2
March Goal - 187.0
I always hate seeing the scale go up even though I know I'm doing everything right... was such a relief to hop on this morning and see my hard work finally paying off. Should be on track to hit my March goal weight! YAHOO! 4 -
Amazing effort @jennamae102!! To be the lightest you have been in 10 years is a huge achievement, you must feel great?
Despite now not having enough time to reach my goal for March (still 4lb's away), I probably set an unrealistic one with two scheduled two trips away- I've still lost almost 4lb and have finally started getting comments about my weight loss so I guess those 4lb's have made an impact! Still a few days of March left so hoping for a 5lb total.
Thanks for the spreadsheet @VeryKatie, not sure I would have lost anything without it!0 -

This has been a great month for me! The main difference has been loads of exercise - I'm training for the Spartan race at the end of April and it's given me the motivation to get going. This year I've been trying to fit things like pizza, beer and chocolate into my calorie goals, in the hope that this time I'll actually manage to keep the weight off. Had pizza and beer last night - so far it's working!0 -
Wow that an incredible month @samlovesthesnow! So looks like you have smashed your goal? Congrats!1
-
Oh and great idea working in treats into your calorie goal, I'm trying to do the same thing. Moderation has never been my strong suit, and it's held me back from sustained weight loss in the past (classic yo-yo'er here) so definitely something I'm trying to change permanently. Love you have had such a great month doing this, it gives me hope!0
-
Thanks! I love the encouraging comments on here, it really helps. Four days til the end of the month ladies - we've got this!0

This is basically the product of being on my period (a second time this month) and eating too much (again).
I mentioned in the Check In thread but I'll mention it here as well. I beat my step record, I almost got 13,000 steps in yesterday! I also ended the day in a deficit and that is a step in the right direction. Hopefully going forward I can reign in the eating better (a lot better) and start making some real progress. I'm over being in the 200's (again.)
Goal: NOT MET!

...looks like Im not going to make it, but this was an aggressive goal. I'm okay with where I am at, my first tww while ttc was very hard on me emotionally so I ate all the things. Next month I am going to try and be much more productive during that time and work out and garden to distract myself instead of making pizza and brownies and obsessing. I also have an mri scheduled for Friday and was hoping to have to cancel it due to pregnant, but looks like Ill have to go anyway. I'll be happy if I end the month out at 192, 191? At least I havent gained and caught myself before it got out of hand.0 -

Amazing month for me! I'm on a roll now. Next mini aim is to get to a BMI between 21-24, which is supposed to give you the best chance of conceiving. For me, a BMI of 24 is 148lbs, so that is the next goal.1
