    Original starting weight : 210 lbs
    April starting weight : 204.2 lbs
    April goal : 199 lbs
    Ultimate goal : 130 lbs

    :star:1st - 204.2
    5th - 201.1 - Great start for the week but heading into the weekend… will try to keep myself in check but I tend to lack willpower on the weekends, need to work on that.
    :star:8th - 203.3 - Well blarg, about what I thought would happen :sob: Hate that I went up in weight since Friday.. Will definitely have to work on controlling my weekends :triumph:
    9th - 203.2 - Hrm.. Better than nothing I guess :smile:
    10th - 203.1 - Creeping along
    11th - 202.1 - That's better! Actually got a decent night's sleep last night which seemed to help :grinning:
    12th - 201.8 - Not quite where I was at the end of last week, but still down from Monday! Now, to not screw it up this weekend!!
    13th - 201.0 - Starting off the weekend good! Although, I wasn't the best last night and let stress get to me so may have had some rum, coke, and chocolate, so I wouldn't be surprised if that shows up in tomorrow's weigh in.
    14th - 202.0 - Not going to complain! Now to be good and not succumb to the kids' snacks!
    :star:15th - 201.7 - Kept it semi in-control over the weekend! *dance*
    16th - 200.8 - Nice trend so far :) Trying to stay on track as much as I can this week.. Saturday we will be going to the Renaissance Faire and I never end up eating as nice as I should; I just love scotch eggs and that's the only place I can find them!
    17th - 199.0 - Trying to not get too excited, ate a couple things yesterday that I shouldn't have (darn coworkers bringing in cupcakes!) but think I stayed close to my calories, so we'll see if there's a bump tomorrow or Friday
    18th - 199.0 - I'll take it! I've been eating way too much chocolate lately; still staying under my calories, but it still may affect my weight, we'll see
    19th - 199.2 - Not surprising as I haven't been eating at a deficit lately. Hopefully tomorrow I don't end up going over too much at the Ren Faire, but we will also be walking a lot so maybe that will help :)

    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
    February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs


    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 - Monday. Okay with that. 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.
    April 10 - 171.6 - Wednesday. I had a tough time getting in enough calories yesterday, I am on soft food for 3 weeks until I get a crown on my tooth. This is going to really change up what I eat, crunchy foods are out.
    April 11 - 169.3!!!! I am not getting too excited. Skating yesterday : - ) I am working out of town today and they have skating there today too : - )
    April 12 - 168.6 - All of that calorie deficit in February and March might finally be showing up, plateau gave way. 2 skates only coming up in the next 2 weeks, all of the other towns are now closed for the season (coulndn't skate yesterday). Guess I am trading in my blades for squatting, bending, pushing, lunging, and pulling in the garden. I do dance aerobics and Zumba daily from Youtube, but really don't get the same effect as skating, nor can I sustain it for as much time. I hope to stay in the 160s for a few months and not get back up into the 170s which lasted for almost 4 months. 2 full months of upping my water intake, have to try to keep that up.
    April 13 - 168.3
    April 14 - 169.0 - I am not managing to get in enough exercise. I will fix that.
    April 15 - 169.5 - Monday. I won't weigh tomorrow, hopefully Wednesday will still be in the 160s : - )
    April 16.- 169.0 - Tuesday, home sick from work with a cold. Not too motivated to work out, maybe later.
    April 17 - 167.8 - The first two days of antibiotics are responsible for some weight loss, likely temporary. Too sick to even go to skating today! I really hate to miss it, there is only one left after this. We'll see in 2 hours after taking some Dayquil.
    April 18 - 166.7 - I had a really tough time getting my calories in yesterday, between the dental issue and this flu. I found some unsweetened apple juice at one point and drank enough of that to bring up my calories. 2 weeks until I get my crown on. Scrambled eggs and soups, but I have no appetite and am mostly staying propped up high in bed with Nyquil. Not a nice way to lose weight, I am sure in 2 weeks when I am back on solid foods that it will rebound.
    April 19 - 167.4 - got my calories from food instead of juice.

    Running loss/gain - loss 5.4

    ☔Updating every day through April.

    •Monday Updates•📌

    📌April 1 - 177 - Ate something I shouldn't have and now have inflammation in joints😩
    4/2 - 174.6
    4/3 - 175.4⬅ abs workout yesterday, glutes today, so who knows what tmrw will bring
    4/4 - 174 - I worked out with my Niece yesterday. She doesn't look forward to glute workouts, but I do! Lol. We got through it. Need to stretch and walk out the soreness today.
    4/5- 176.8 - Probably 175.8 I drank 16ozs of water just before weighing. Still holding fluid from butt and leg workout. Muscles are still on a low hum😃 My knee told me, unh-unh yesterday, so no walk. It was feeling unstable. Stretching and balance exercises accomplished.
    4/6 - 175.8
    4/7 - 177.4 - Not surprised. I was not hungry for my first meal until the 19 hour mark (2pm) I don't fast on Saturdays. I did an arm and shoulder workout at 10:30pm and felt hungry afterwards. So I ate again at 12am!

    📌4/8 - 178 - Everything I ate contributed to my carb count. I broke my fast at 2:30pm and "dinner" was 2 brownies, which took me from 29g to 85g. Why did I eat them? Just not in the mood for more savory flavors. I certainly wasn't hungry.
    4/9 - 178.2
    4/10 - 176.8 - up and down. Down please.
    4/11 - 176.2 - Yesterday was my last day for eating peanut butter. I'm going to see if that is the last thing to eliminate to break away from my "stabilized" weight.

    4/12 - 178.2 - This is from eating at midnight. Not overeating or late night snacking. I just wasn't hungry enough to eat the rest of my food until then. This is the 3rd time in a two a week period, that I have not been hungry until very late in the day. I don't know what that's about, but I don't like it.
    4/13 - 178
    4/14 - 177.6
    📌4/15 - 177.2
    4/16 - 177 - back here again
    4/17- 175.2
    4/18 - 177.6

    4/19 - 176.4

    📌4/22
    📌4/29
