    Ok. Total transparency and accountability here. I ended February and started March at a new low. Then I shot up 😠

    I'm irritated but not upset. This is totally normal for me. And I've slacked in water and went over on the sodium. I'm not going to adjust my overall March goal at this point. I still think it's doable. It just means I'll need to drop 8 to accommodate the gain. 🙉

    Original starting weight - 228.3
    March starting weight - 154.2
    March goal - 152.2 or lower
    Ultimate goal - 147?

    1st - 154.2
    5th - 152.2 Good, but I didn’t eat well today.
    Recommitting to myself to eat healthier, & to eliminate sugar again. For me, a little sugar morphs into cookie or small treat each day, to one large serving per day, to one at each meal (today.) Time to whack it back as it increases my appetite & increases urges for carbs for me.
    Course correction time. My life is vastly improved; I will get back on track.

    I will continue to weigh daily throughout March. It usually keeps me accountable from having that second helping, knowing that I will be weighing in the morning. I also like to look for trends, so daily weighing.
    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
    March goal 169.3 - 5 pound loss, and hopefully into a new decade finally.

    February loss was 1.9 pounds
    February 28 - 174.8 - burned off mega calories yesterday too, but still up in weight this morning. Low on sleep.

    March 01 - 174.3 - I hope for March to be better than February.
    March 02 - 173.7 - Unbelievable, I was so disappointed with February, being so diligent about burning lots of calories, eating carefully, and barely losing weight - that last night I had (in defiance) a giant steak, corn, sour cream, potatoes etc., way over my calorie allotment. I truly expected to see a gain this morning.
    March 03 - 174.3 - So the steak dinner from Friday shows up?
    March 04 - 173.9 - skating yesterday
    March 05 - 174.9 - no reason to be up other than short on sleep. Skating today, so hope to see a drop tomorrow morning.
    March 06 - 173.6 - yay for skating, I am skating again today too.

    I don't always have the time to burn over 1,000 calories, but it seems that is the only way that I might be able to lose a pound a week (and I would much rather lose 2 pounds a week!). I keep my calories low, but it is starting to look like if I have 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise and low calories that I can not lose weight. I have to put in more than an hour of activity if I want to see the scale budge. Don't get me wrong, I love to exercise, but I don't always have the time for longer bouts. I am not interested in dropping my calories under 1200. This weight loss is so frustrating.

    Running monthly total: loss .7 lbs

    WOW I didn’t realize Ice skating burned that many calories! I double checked it and you are so right skating definitely burns a little over 600 calories in just an hour. I might need to pull out my old skates. Now I’m super curious what other activities give a high burn. I agree 20-30 minutes of cardio is great for your general health but I need to put in at least hour to actually burn off real calories. I’m lucky I have the time to invest right now but I’m heading into busy season. Your post made me realize I need to find some intense burn activities.

    Thank you for your support of my
    Post yesterday. It helps!

    I decided I need to post daily as well until I get thisvack under control.

    6th 154.2 odd, odd, odd...
    So my current plan of attack is:
    I can only eat something with sugar prior to 10:30 AM.
    After 10:30, lean meats & fish, veg, fruits, whole grains, nonfat milk/yogurt, olive oil, unsalted nuts.

    Two meals down today (resisted giving in & eating out - it was surprisingly difficult to do, but I’m thrilled now that I did!

    I’m not giving up. Thanks again & best wishes on your journey to you all!
