I think I found the right balance between my intake and losing weight. I'm taking on this challenge in 90 days intervals which is enough time to see significant changes.

I got on the scale this morning and I'm down a pound. I'll take it! I did daily weight checks for the last 3 months and decided I'm convinced enough that my weight fluctuates daily from 0.5-1lb. So I've now switched to twice a week which I record on my Garmin and my Sunday ( every 7 days) weight goes on MFP. Also I've increased my steps 16k-20k daily and I'm eating back 100-200 of my exercise calories.
4/9: 160lb (-1)
Total April loss/gain: -2lbs
15lbs gone as of today and halfway through 1st goal of 145lb.
4/15: 159.5lb ( -0.5) I made into the 150s!
I'll recheck again tomorrow to see if any changes.
Total April loss/gain: -2.5lb

Don't worry too much @MissMaggieMuffin. You are here, so you're not giving up. You've made it this far, you've done amazing. I've had several weeks like that, but it usually works itself out by the end of the month. I have discovered that my arch nemesis is sodium. Most everything else I can moderate well, but that sneaky sodium is EVERYWHERE!!! But I also discovered that an extra liter (4 cups) of water on those days (and the day after sometimes) really helps wash the extra sodium from your body so your cells aren't holding onto so much extra water because they're trying to wash the extra salt out of them.
Keep your chin up and refocus every morning. Don't let one bad weigh-in get you down.4 -

@Brans34 Thank you for your encouragement - I do appreciate it. I think you may be quite right about the sodium. The pre-Easter food, while within my calorie goals, includes way too much ham! Will try the extra water.2 -

@MissMaggieMuffin Try the extra water when your sodium is up! I lost more than a pound in a day, that pound being water from eating too much salt and not drinking enough water. Yesterday i really upped my water and it showed today on my stomach, legs and scales3

@ana_varn Thanks - definitely upping the water intake. Funny, hadn't really thought about the sodium but certainly more aware now.4 -
Happy Easter!
Slow losses this week, I was stuck for a bit. The last 3 days have been firmly below 220 and yesterday was a new daily low of 218.7, so I will take it! I should see an average below 220 next week.
I have been monitoring my blood pressure per doctor's order and it has been good, so that is a victory, and my labs all came back good too. It is a reminder that it isn't ONLY about weight.

Average from March 26th to April 2: 221.

Loss in April : 1 lb.
Total MFP cumulative loss: 13 lbs.
Ultimate goal: 180.
Until next week.....
Move more, eat less.
