    Total loss for March - 4.6

    This month was filled with events and I had prepared myself for a lower loss and some carb bloat to rebound from. I also had to take a week off from workouts as I went down with a severe cold.
    Still I can’t say I’m shocked that I got pretty close to 5lbs. I realize I make good choices even when I’m eating outside of my norm. My total love of working out has surprised me and I’m continuing to push myself into tougher classes.
    My goals have expanded from numbers on a scale to specific fitness goals. I kind of fangirl at the gym on some of these woman who are just so strong and capable. I want that! I’m going to get that.
    I’m super excited for April, I’ve signed up for the next 7 weeks of Saturday 7am bootcamp.

    74lbs gone, from a size 22 xxl to a size 12 medium in two years.

    Great job this month everyone, I read everyone’s post everyday and am so impressed and encouraged with the dedication I see. This *kitten is HARD, keep going!

    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    February 28 starting weight - 144.8 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.2)
    March goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).

    February 28 - 144.8 (145.2)
    March 1 - 145.6 (144.9)
    March 8 - 142.8 (145.1)
    March 15 - 142.2 (142.2)
    March 22 - 142.4 (141.8)
    March 29 -141.8 (143.1)
    March 31 -

    Total loss for March: Scale says I lost three pounds and have maintained my goal weight! Ten day average actually says I'm only down 1.9 pounds and is pretty much at my ultimate goal as well. I must avoid gaining it back! I had a huge spike this week -- up seven pounds in five days, but then it came back off. Whew.

    I am still participating in monthly weight loss challenges like this one until I'm solidly steady back in the middle or bottom my goal range. I'm at the top of that range, and I'm also participating in maintenance challenges like THIS ONE.

    One more check-in in two days, then on to April! I need to decide if I should stay in this group since I'm done losing.

    1st - 345.2 lbs
    4th - 344.9 lbs
    8th - 341.0 lbs
    11th - 343.6 lbs I ate during my fast last night. I don't know what I was thinking. But today is another day.
    15th - 341.3 lbs I'm not entirely sure what's happening but I'm not going to let it discourage me.
    18th - 338.8 lbs I was scared for a minute but then I realized that I was dehydrated and retaining water at night. So I changed this around. Drinking lemon water in the morning and propel at night. Happy Monday
    22nd - 339.5 lbs This has me so puzzled. On 3/19 I weighed 337.7 lbs no change in eating habits maybe my water intake at night. We'll see. I have been putting off a exercise routine but I think I'm ready. We'll see :)
    25th - 341.6 lbs I have let this get to my head this weekend but today I am putting an end to it now. I will go out this month with a bang!

    March 1 - 175.2 - Feeling 90% better today.
    3/2 - 177 - smh😕
    3/3 - 175
    📌3/4 - 177
    3/5 - 174.4
    3/6 - 173
    3/7 - 173.8
    3/8 - 172.6
    3/9 - 172.2
    3/10 - 174.2 - An early weigh in as far as my fasting schedule. I'm experimenting going back to 12/12 for a week or two for a little break. Expected from increased carbs, but, seems that I haven't learned my lesson about drinking salty water late in the evening.😦 It's okay. 19g carbs, 14g net carbs. Carbs were: salad spaghetti squash, pesto, peanut butter (1.5 TB) YES to vegetables!
    📌3/11 - 170.8
    3/12 - 170.4 - Day 1 Day 3 of my experiment in the books. Successful so far.
    3/13 - 171.8 - Retaining some fluid
    again from drinking electrolytes just before bed.
    3/14 - 171.2
    3/15 - 172.2 - A little fluid retention..... from exercise, not carbs! Knee is behaving, so back to strengthing quads and hams. Taking it low and slow, but consistently. I'm dealing with old shoulder injuries too, so must not be impatient with myself trying to do sets, reps and long workouts like I used to do.
    3/16 - 173 - Normal fluctuation.
    3/17 - 171.2
    📌3/18 171
    3/19 - 171.2
    3/20 - 172.2
    3/21 - 170.6
    3/22 - 172.8 - Fluid as usual. I can feel it as tiredness in my upper body.
    3/23 - 172.2 - (174.8 - entered on the wrong day)
    3/24 - 174.8 -Ate crackers😐
    📌 3/25 - 173.8
    3/26 - 173.8
    3/27 - 176 ⬅abs workout ☺
    3/28 - 175.2

    3/29 - 174.6 - abdominal swelling is decreasing😀 and fluid steadily shedding just in time for another abs workout over the weekend😅

    3/30 - 175.8 - It's going to be a lot of back and forth with my weight until my body adjusts to my exercise. All muscles are firing! Feels good to get back to it on a consistent basis, been a long time.

    3/31 - 174.6 - I thought I posted this already 😞 ??

    You are less than 20 pounds from your ultimate goal, congrats!
    A few of us that are a bit older are in the same boat with slow results.
    I plan to remain disciplined.
    We soldier on : - )

    Thanks, @dawnbgethealthy Soldier on, indeed. I'm enjoying the benefits of "older & wiser," but parts of it are not quite so fun. Once I get to goal, I'm going to have to rethink allowing much of a winter weight gain anymore. :p

    I'll be weighing in on Friday for the month of March/April...I just need some of this hormonal water weight to subside a bit (after TOM). I do feel pretty good despite giving into chocolate cake and pop tarts. Oops. Big oops!! Needless to say, I'm getting back on track (again) and staying very busy and active. My size 10 jogging pants feel more loose than they did--and I'm not stretching them out because I don't wear them often, so it seems like I maybe losing inches! March wasn't a huge victory and I did have some setbacks however I do feel motivated--just want some warmer weather is all. I'm ready to run!

    Weigh-in on Friday...

    Let's get it April!!
