Well, it doesn’t look like I’m hitting my goal this month, but a pound down is a pound down. I am celebrating my NSV though including a sudden overnight appearance of lean mass in my arms —in reality there’s nothing sudden about it and is the result of 89 Barre classes since May—and noticing that my butt is um, perkier? Higher? Something definitely changed in that area. Lol Also, I feel great. I have more energy, my skin looks happy and I’m feeling strong. Not bad for looking at 48 next month.3 -

EOM March Weight:
I've been pretty serious this last week with calories, staying at or under my base maintenance #. My fiance and I have really been pushing ourselves at the gym as well and I'm starting to see some muscle definition I've never seen before (probably just getting rid of fat and "uncovering" the muscle, but still!). Interested to see if today's weight is just an outlier or if I will continue to see 158 until the end of the month. Still very happy with my progress either way!

Well I beat my goal. Next month I'm going to try to hit my original ultimate goal of 153. I think I need to up my weight lifting by going back to body beast. I started doing P90X and I don't think it's doing much

I made it to the 145’s. I pushed hard this month and made it to a new level. Last time I was this weight was 9 and half years ago before being pregnant with my 2nd child. I am also more muscular that I was then and in my 40’s!
Keep on pushing ladies, your goal is within reach!2 -

Woo! Made it! March has by far been the toughest month on my journey so far, both from a health and an emotional standpoint (I know, I know, weight loss isn't linear blah, blah) but it's over, and goals are met! Phew!
But my biggest accomplishment of March has nothing to do with me. After watching me go though this process for the past 6 months, my husband has finally started his own weight loss adventures. While I shared my own trials and tribulations with him throughout, I never pressured him to change, because I knew I only started succeeding when I made up my own stubborn mind. And its cool that now he's ready, and I've got a partner in crime for this next part of the fun.
Bring on April! Let's see if we can't break into the elusive 20% range of body fat this month...2 -

Another week of slow and steady losses. My weekend wasn't the best - but I recovered pretty well during the week, despite a ridiculous work schedule that included a few too many hours of travel.
I'm finishing up my first round of the 21 Day Fix today (not using their food plan, just CICO). The results aren't anything like what's promised - but I wasn't expecting that. I'm down two pounds since I started an inch each on my waist, hips and each thigh. More than that, I feel stronger and like I can do things today that I couldn't do three weeks ago.
I've been using the US Navy calculation for BF. The inch loss around waist and hips put me wayyyy down. Pretty sure it's not accurate, but I figure if I stick with a consistent calculation, at least my comparison will be consistent. Maybe at some point I'll get my butt to a gym and get it properly calculated.
I have mixed feelings about these home workout programs, but find 30 minutes a day in my living room is something I can stick with. I also find a set number of days/calendar/having a finish line in sight keeps me on track. I'm going moving on to the 30 Day Shred for April.
I've also been following Yoga With Adriene's monthly calendars since January. (@saragd012 - I definitely recommend this as a way to get into yoga). I wouldn't consider most of the videos a workout unto themselves, but I'm seeing some major progress, and really enjoying taking 20-40 minutes a day to breathe and stretch.
Also just wanted to say that this group has been incredible for motivation. You are all amazing!

Yes @gutsnglory6! No measure of BF (especially ones that are affordable and regularly available) is *truly* accurate.... But as long as it's a consistent measure, it'll give a good picture... right? At least that's what I tell myself ;P1

Height : 5'10"
HW: 165lbs (about 5-6 years ago)
CW: 142.0
March Goal Weight: 143 (Achieved!)
New March Goal Weight: 142
Long term goal: 140lbs and lower bodyfat percentage
March 2: 147ish (but I'm pretty sure the scale I was using was wrong)
March 9: 143.6
March 16: 142.0
March 23: 143.4
March 30: 141.6
Hurray for scale drops and TOM leaving! Feeling much less bloated today, which I'll chalk up to TOM finally making his way out the door. Super excited I was able to meet my goal this month! Next month is aiming for goal weight, and then depending on when I hit it transitioning into recomp. We'll see how long it takes to get to goal though.
Good luck and happy Friday everyone!0 -
Completely smashed my March goal and I have 1.6 pounds to go until I'm back to my starting weight. I'm not really sure what ultimate goal weight I should be going toward. I think 132 is the top of a normal BMI for my height but I think I'd like to lose a little more than that. How did everyone decide what their goal weight would be?

HW: 195
SW March: 148.2

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!"
And the results are in! Feeling pretty fantastic about my loss this month as I worked really hard. Congrats to everyone who met their goals and bigs hugs to any who didn't... April is YOUR month!
