Starting late, but want to join for the accountability.
I swear I've been trying to lose the last few pounds for years. I'm just coming off a season of "It'll never happen so I might as well give up" which resulted in gaining back nearly all the weight I had lost. It's definitely harder to stay positive/motivated as you get older and your body seems to be in a general decline...

Working really hard to get a head of my planned indulgent weekend 16th-17th. Made it through the Farmer’s Market Management convention without going off the rails, which was this week’s challenge.
I am so close to getting out of the obese BMI for good. Lol my husband got a kick out of my cheering “I’m overweight! Yay! Im overweight”

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.

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.
March 07 - 173.3 - again, yay for skating. I am working out of town today, and taking my skates with me because there is an arena there. There is only a few weeks left of the skating season : - (
Running monthly total: loss 1 lb1 -
@dawnbgethealthy
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.
Hi Lala:
Yes, pull out your skates! I think that it is a combination of: calorie burn, stress busting, community... and fun! that always shows a difference on the scale for me when there is skating available. I did 110 minutes on Wednesday in 2 different arenas. 1,015 calories burned.
The other big burner is X-Country skiing, but I have a broken ski this year so haven't been. Once you are out there you have to get back, so if you aim for an hour you ski for 1/2 an hour and then have to get back to the trail head ; - ) Lol, no quitting early.
There is not much else that I like where I put in so much time. Maybe Zumba.
I lament the end of the public skating season in 3 weeks, but the last 2 weeks of it (March break) offer 5 public skates a week. I rearrange my work schedule so that I can go.
It is tough enough to lose weight even with skating, I have to definitely find something else that I like, and that burns mega calories for when it ends.
Let me know if you find something.

So last month I had a water, sodium, TOM, and whatever else gain of 6.4 pounds at the end. So I am starting this month very high. I should lose a large portion of it in the next week or so. I started February out at 148.5, ended it at 154.9. Would like to end March at 145. That has been and is my goal right now. I really lost focus when I was so close to reaching my goal last month. I was only a couple of pounds away and just kind of lost the desire to lose anymore. I am thinking of switching it to 140 so that I have that extra cushion for those weeks I am just not feeling the motivation.
3/1 - 154.9 super high TOM, sodium, alcohol, and whatever else. Should go down fairly quickly
3/7 - 151.1 Finally had a decent loss this week. Still working hard and hoping to see the scale continue in a downward trend! 2.6 pounds left to get to where I started last month

7th - 154.4 Figured since Jan 1, 2019, I’ve lost 0.1 lb. So, I guess this is maintenance. I will think about whether I am truly committed to getting lower. By all measures, I m healthy. I’m thinking losing a few vanity pounds may not be enough motivation for me. Still thinking.
