Original Starting Weight: 242
April starting weight: 198.2
April Goal: Break through plateau to under 194
Ultimate Goal: 160-something...
April 14th: 198.6
April 21: 200.0
*Same 5 lbs I've been juggling in the last couple of months*
(195-200)
I am finally laying off of the frosting (praise the Lord), and, I've been doing extra workouts--kicking it up a notch--so this "200" is water, edema, muscle (I've been strength training)...It's nothing new to see this up/down fluctuation. I've been up to 202 then a day or two later --198! Anyway, I'm on the right track with my diet and workouts, so maybe I'll see some change in the next few days...P.S It's starting to get warmer, which means longer hikes outside...yea-yeah!!5 -

Happy Sunday, everyone!
I *think* things might be moving again. I still haven't seen a new daily low since March 3rd, which was 204, then I popped up and have gained and lost the same 3 lbs. since.
I have been in the 204s 4 days in a row. Last Monday I was 207 (whaaaa?), otherwise my average might have looked a bit better, but that is how it goes, so maybe I can finish the month with a new low average.
My best so far was 205 even the week ending March 11th so I am close.
I hate plateaus. Or is it plateaux?
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1999: 195.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
Weekly averages:
March 26th to April 1st: 205.8
April 2nd to April 8th: 206.7
April 9th to April 15th: 205.8
April 16th to April 22nd: 205.2
Loss for April: 0.6 lbs.
MFP Loss: 27.8 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 37.8 lbs.
Until next week...
Move more, eat less.

I logged 5 of 6 workouts for the week (my goal) which includes: Pilates, Yoga, KT Bell, DB Bell, Resistance Band exercises and Elliptical...which includes my ToM. I normally give up and say next week but things are changing!
I ate within my calorie goal 3 of 7 days so room for improvement!

Total loss for April: 4...so far
This week was really pretty much as expected. I had adjusted my MFP settings last week (down to 0.5lbs per week) and had a big celebration day on Saturday (still have not figured out how to log all different food).
All planned and no surprises, and while I did eat more than usual and off my normal selections I did keep portions under control). A lot of my "exercise" this week transitioned to hiking in the hills. There were a couple of short (4mile) fast (3.5 to 3mph) hikes over hilly terrain. Then Sunday was a 10 mile hike with 2,500 elevation up and down, moving along at 2mph.
Other than the Saturday celebration, I have remained diligent about logging and watching portions.
It seems a little unlikely that I will make my April goal of 183 with my current plans. But that is just fine. I am feeling good and would rather stick to my current plan of eating and exercise rather than try to chase 2 pounds.
Feeling Great!
