    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    March 31 starting weight - 142.8 (ten-day rolling average weight 143.2)
    March goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

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


    March 31 - 142.8 (143.2)
    April 1 - 143.6 (143.4)
    April 8 - 146.8 (143.5)
    April 15 -
    April 22 -
    April 29 -
    April 30

    Total loss for April: Scale says I gained four pounds and am closer to the top of my maintenance range. My ten day average is up a tenth of a pound and is really close to my goal weight. While I have been pretty stable, I need to pay particular attention now because I don't want to gain it back!

    I am still participating in this monthly weight loss challenge even though I'm in my goal range. I'm also participating in a maintenance challenge.

    58 years old, 5'3"
    Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191

    March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories


    March 31 - 172.8
    April 02 - Tuesday - 174.1
    April 03 - 173.0
    April 04 - 171.6 - I was 170.9 on March 30th I have been dropping my calories from 1200 to 1100 so far this month, I am not satisfied with working so diligently to lose only a pound a month. There was bonus skating yesterday which seems to remove all of my excess water (and stress) and burns lots of calories, so a 1.4 loss in a day is likely due to that.
    April 05 - 170.9
    April 06 - 170.0 !!
    April 07 - 171.6 - Expected, very small deficit yesterday
    April 08 - 171.1 - Okay. Tuesday mornings is 4am for me, and my weight is always up because it is too darned early. I may still weigh tomorrow morning, but won't be upset if it is high.


    Running loss/gain - loss 1.7

    Dawn, @dawnbgethealthy, I know just how you feel about that 20 lb transition point from obese to overweight. I'm now at my second transitional 20 lb point. I need to be 155 to have a normal BMI. It's so close! I've been teased quite a few times over the last 6 months with 170. All the big reasons I've figured out, but there's still something. The increased exercise, I need that. My body could just be comfortable here for now. I've certainly thought about that many times. There is one more dietary experiment I could try, but I need to carefully plan two or three weeks of daily menus. I need to eat every allotted calorie every day and eliminate peanut butter.

    Could the problem for you be just one food, that if eliminated would get you the result you want?

    Hi @tiabirdie56
    Sorry to hear about your peanut butter! Is it any nut butter or just peanut?
    Yes, we could be at some sort of "set-point", and getting past that to the next one is sure taking time.

    I don't fool a whole lot with my eating so far except for portion sizes. I definitely don't eliminate anything in particular since I want this to be sustainable and long term. It takes so long to get there, I wouldn't want it to come back quick after working so hard at it. For sure there are things that I have cut right back on, like Ribs (my fave). I used to have Ribs once per week, then once per month, now I haven't had any in a few months. I am not saying that I will never have them again, but they are super high calorie. The rest of my food is healthy and balanced. I eat a lot of greens and veg, and have a huge garden in the soon to be season. I eat protein in the form of lean meats and eggs. I am not giving up my 80 calories of half and half in my coffees in the mornings, it is a great pleasure to me. I don't have a sweet tooth, so sugar is not really an issue for me.

    The main change for me when starting in October was upping my carbs and lowering my fats slightly. That worked quite well for November and December. They are still kind of low.

    My big change starting in February was upping my water. I was lucky to get more than one glass in a day, and now have a minimum of 6 but am much closer to 8+ I am going to keep that up, but my body might just be now getting used to that.

    I am curious to know about the dietary experiment that you might try.
    I have taken to heart that it might be one thing that I am consuming (or not consuming).

    At the end of the day we want to have healthy bodies and fuel them with what we need, which seems to vary by individual.
    Working out is so important to functioning - not only a healthy weight, but also for emotional and mental health.

    I have read many articles on metabolism. Sad to say, that it gets slower and slower as we age. Darned hormone changes and neanderthal genes!
    We are born with our metabolisms, and changing that seems to be a myth.
    Our bodies don't really want to lose weight, but it is not healthy to carry extra, so we must continue trying.
