Ugh. I really didn't want to post this number. I'd like to state all sorts of 'reasons' for it, but the reality is that I slacked off on both food choices and exercise. I fully earned this number. Apparently I don't have my head in the losing game.1 -

March 1 : I've been slacking the past two weeks on working out, I've been trying my best to keep on top my calorie intake (1485 calories). Tomorrow I am starting Darebee.com 30 days of change, total abs, and 30-days-of gravity. If anyone would like to join and do accountability let me know. These challenges/workouts are free downloadable .PDF's. Their website is full of great stuff, I would highly suggest visiting.
March 8: Worked out everyday since March first except yesterday (March 7), I had a late night Tuesday and school Wednesday night. I’m really starting to feel stronger and better about myself. I’ve cut back on cardio and really focus and get into my strength training. Can’t wait to see what this week, month, future holds for me. Wishing all you ladies the best of luck, and hope you all reach your goals.
March 15: Another pound lost, the other day I was down to 154, but then didn't do my full workout for two days, and ate a ton (mostly healthy) another day. Really planing on staying on track these next 15 days to hopefully achieve my goal for this month. I believe I can achieve my weight goal but BF% doesn't go down as quickly as I thought. I'm still feeling stronger and stronger every day, on the days I get my 2.5 hour workout done I feel like a million bucks when I walk out of the gym. I'm going to try really hard to stay on track this weekend even tho its St. Pattys Day and SF goes big. Hope you all are achieving your goals as planned, and I wish you the best of luck this next week.
March 23 : Didn't progress over the past week but that's okay, I'm not gonna let that bring me down. Also don't plan on hitting my goal this month but I'm also not gonna let that bring me down. I look forward to what is gonna happen the rest of this month and hope to lose a pound or two over the next week. We will see. Good luck everyone!!2 -
Not so sure if I am going to hit the March goal of 147 but I was dang close on 3/9 so if I keep up my consistency I'm sure I will hit it soon. I have noticed a steady average downwards in these past three month. So even when I have my super bloated days I don't stay at the heavy weight for to long. I only update MFP once a week but I weigh everyday so i can better understand my trends. At first it was really nerve racking and discouraging to focus on it but I eventually started to understand that the number will always fluctuate and a lot of the fluctuations can be identified and possibly even dealt with in the future. It takes a lot to learn ones own body and it's own personal functions.
On a side note today is going to take lots calculating. We have a team luncheon (i.e. we are being fed as a thank you from another department) and it's nothing but Mexican food (The Menu: enchiladas =cheese & chicken, chicken fajitas, rice, beans, chips, salsa, guacamole & grilled jalapenos), which don't get me wrong I'm grateful for and I do like Mexican food but it's so hard to plan...I don't know where it comes from, I don't know how much oil or fat is used, there's just so much unknown. I love meal prepping, it makes me feel so much more in control then choosing the most convenient food option. I'm more than likely going to stick with the chicken fajitas and beans, I'm just glad they are not providing tacos, I might not be able to come back from that

I gained a half pound but that's ok- I still have one more week to lose it again. It seems like the closer I get to my goal weight, the more it matters what I eat which is kind of annoying. But hey at least I feel skinny again

Holding steady at 143. I feel super bloated so I'm sure that's doing some masking. Tomorrow is child #4's fourth birthday. This is what I call birthday season in my house because we have a birthday almost every month until November. I just have to make sure I spread the extra calories from cake and special dinners out over my weekly averages.

The weather (hopefully) is improving in the uk!! I’m so relieved this has been the longest, worst winter I’ve never felt this low in the winter before
This week I was 63.1kg which is higher than I’d have liked, but to be honest I’ve been so miserable that I’ve not really stuck to my calories or done much exercise. The last 2 days I’ve pushed myself through totm and ran both days, today was my longest run this year. Really hope I’m turning a corner.
Well done to all of you ladies with your super commitment hoping to be joining you soon!!!!1 -
Well I had a bit of a shock when I stepped on the scale on Sunday.
Height: 5'5"/65 in

So I somehow managed to reach my original March goal weight. I'm pretty sure its from food poisoning, but I will take it!5 -

March 31:
(I weigh in on Saturdays)
Total weight lost in March to date: 5.6 LBS
This has been my first month doing an accountability post and it has really helped me keep my priorities straight. I see so much progress on these posts and it has made me strive to do better. At the first of the month when I posted that my end of March goal was 163, I thought about how unattainable it sounded (see disclaimer above!). Now I am thinking, "I BETTER hit that number!"

A half a pound. I'll take it. The little lady wants Olive Garden for her birthday dinner. And she's having a My Little Pony chocolate birthday cake for dessert. Pretty sure that half pound will be gone tomorrow

Woohoo! I was able to reach my March goal! Just in time for Easter....
I'm happy with my shape and how I look in clothes, but not impressed without clothes. This is where the recomp comes in... I've been doing butt, thigh & ab workouts and some weights but I know I have to push myself further to get where I want. I don't even know where to start or if what I'm doing is enough?
Does anyone have advice? Should I do challenges? Should I pay for certain programs? Should I continue using weights? One thing to note is that I had started Kayla Itsines December 2017 and immediately after her workouts I was experiencing vertigo for the first time in my life. The second I stopped with the workouts I got better. I had gone to the hospital that week (sick from a virus) and I mentioned it to the doctor. He thought the vertigo had to do with the virus.
My bf had noticed that I was pushing myself hard to finish her workouts and he thinks I should just pace myself IF I consider doing Kayla's again. Truly I'm scared. AND disappointed. I love HIIT.
Yoga has been great for my mental health/balance. Next week I'm starting spinning so I'm hoping that will challenge my body a bit more.
Anyway sometimes I just dream and wish that I was a millionaire so that I could have a personal trainer who would tell me what to do 24/7...3 -

Congrats on reaching your goal!
I would focus on a progressive lifting program for best results when recomping:
community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1
This will allow you to change your body composition by building muscle and lowering your bodyfat over a long period of time.
Those challenges and Kayla programs are fine if you are losing weight, they can help maintain some muscle and "tone" but if you are looking to build muscle in recomp, you really have to step up the training. You can still do HIIT, yoga and other cardio, just as long as it doesn't affect your lifting.2 -

I hit another new low of 140 monday... Wednesday must be my "fat" day...At least I can say I hit my March goal! I did new measurements over the weekend, and put those into an online body fat calculator. I have heard they are not very accurate, but the results are still encouraging. Last month it put me at 33% and "obese" this month it put me at 22% which was just shy of overweight. I also downloaded the Libra app Sunday, to see what my average is since I seem to like to dip low, and then jump up 3-4 lbs every week. My running average right now is 142. Easter weekend is coming up, and we are going to the in-laws. I'm contemplating taking a break from logging for the weekend, but I'm not sure. It would just be nice to not have to be on my phone all the time logging everything, but it definatly helps hold me accountable to myself... So we'll see. I kind of also want to use it as a trail run for vacation coming up in July and see how well I do for myself.

The link @sardelsa posted is great. I am currently doing the Fierce 5 program and I have also done Strong Curves (tho I didn’t finish that one because it was when I got in my car accident).1 -
Hello,
i've been off dieting and exercise with exams and deadlines at Uni. Today is my first day not studying or at paid work for months. Weighed myself for the first time in weeks today , i was scared ! I'm back where i started on MFP years ago BUT at least i'm no higher.
Got a special birthday tea with my elderly mum coming up at the weekend where I will be eating cakes .
I'm feeling motivated though and no other special events coming up that can't be incorporated into moving towards my goal. I lived off ready meals/ sandwiches / crisps and chocolate for most of the last few weeks in order to devote time to my Uni work.
Started HRT last week and it's having a small positive effect on my mood already so hoping that continues, i was utterly exhausted with menopausal symptoms, could barely get out of bed some days .
Height 5.2
CW 135
Ultimate goal weight 111
Very achievable goal 117

Not as good as I’d hoped, but actually it’s a loss and I haven’t been that good (night out Saturday, too much wine, little exercise…). Measurements did go up this month. Ah well, only minor, and I don’t feel any fatter, nor do my clothes feel any tighter. Mind you, I have felt bloated for about 4 days now, but not sure why. Have a feeling there might be a small whoosh in the next few days.
I have a major flare up in my left wrist which has been giving me trouble on and off for >12 years now. It’s been pretty dormant for a number of years (if weak, but mostly pain free), but ever since January it’s been a *kitten*. When I have a flare up I absolutely cannot lean on it or push through it when it’s bent back, I’m restricted in how much weight I pull through it (e.g.: deadlifts and pull ups). And it’s wet outside making running less attractive, which is a pig given I have a) invested in nice shiny new running shoes at the weekend and b) I loathe running on a treadmill. At least I finally went to see my GP on Monday and got a referral for physio, but have a feeling I may end up referred to orthopaedics at some point.
