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 (couldn'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.
April 20 - 166.8
April 21 - 167.5
April 22 - 166.0

•Monday Updates•📌
📌April 1 - 177 - Ate something I shouldn't have and now have inflammation in joints😩4/2 - 174.64/21 - 177
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.

The struggle continues. I enjoyed my Easter and the scale shows it. I don't have much hope for next week's weigh in because I will be going to a beer, wine, and cheese festival this weekend. But that is ok. I have all summer to get to my goal weight (really longer than that, but I hope it doesn't take longer).8 -

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.8th - 203.3 - Well blarg, about what I thought would happen 
Hate that I went up in weight since Friday.. Will definitely have to work on controlling my weekends 
9th - 203.2 - Hrm.. Better than nothing I guess
10th - 203.1 - Creeping along
11th - 202.1 - That's better! Actually got a decent night's sleep last night which seemed to help
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!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
20th - 199.6 - RENAISSANCE FAIRE!! *dance* Not as bad as I thought after pizza and other junk I ate last night, so maybe the walking today will help and I will try to behave myself some today, but no guarantees!
21st - 200.6 - Definitely was bad yesterday… lots of water today and try not to let this derail me22nd - 199.9 - Down from last Monday, so I'm happy 23rd - 200.0 - Made good choices yesterday, but didn't get all my water in.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
I forgot to check in on Sunday - again. Easter and family stuff and all that. I'm frustrated. I'm logging all my eating. I keep within my calorie allowance most days (I don't exceed it any more than I did when I was losing weight), and if I earn 'extra' calories with activity, I don't necessarily spend them, so I'm trying to stay in a calorie deficit. I'm walking most days, fishing on weekends, gardening... I'm more active, really, than I've been since I was a kid, yet the weight just will NOT come off, and a little bit is trying to sneak back on. We even had a bowling party after work last Friday and I bowled better than my husband... who used to bowl somewhat regularly. AND I didn't feel sore the next day (he did!)
With the weird hot and cold weather we've been having I think I'm retaining a bit of water, I can feel it in my legs. Some of it may be leaving today, I've had more bathroom trips than usual, hoping that some of this yo-yo business is just water retention.
Not going to lie it's easier to be 'stuck' south of 200 than north of it, but I've flirted with 199 numbers and that has me worried. I really REALLY don't want to see 200 or more ever again. If I was stuck at 190 I'd feel better about it... but as it is I've been floating between 196-199 for the last... 6 months really. I think I first hit a 1 number back in August. Went on vacation - gained a little. Came back, lost it, had gallbladder surgery in November, gained a ton from IV fluid, dropped down to 194.4 once I shed all that IV weight but I hadn't eaten in a week so that low was a bit artificial. Then the Christmas holidays came and I gained a couple of pounds, and I've been struggling to lose since then.
I'm not backsliding in a big way - all of this is within 5 lbs from low of 194.4 to high of 199.3. That almost qualifies as maintenance but I don't want to be in maintenance.
I will say that the jeans I bought last August, which fit but were very snug, fit more loosely now. Not falling off loose, but certainly much more comfortably. So I'm getting 'slimmer' just not 'lighter'.
This is what happened in 2000 when I lost a bunch of weight. I got to 195, held there, couldn't go any lower, then my body popped back up to 202 where I stayed for about 13 years. I really don't want a repeat performance. I would really like to lose more. I've tried harder and longer this time than last, and I'm not quitting, but I am discouraged. If you've read this much - thanks I just needed to vent.

completely fine to vent hehe.....thats what we are here for:))))...to hear and support each other.....
i also experience being stuck considering I eat within calories that are allowed....Im afraid to say but seems like the only way weight comes off when we eat way below what is allowed....:(((((.....I cant loose anything unless I am literally starving.....well by starvation I mean eating tiny portions of whatever I am eating....I always want more and stay hungry.....so its either me being happy with how I feel or being happy with how I look...:((5 -

@InDogWeTrust
Yes, I hear what you are saying. I basically stayed at the same weight for 3 months even while at my most active (calorie burning) months of each and every year - I typically lost 15-20 pounds in 3 months during this time every year before this past one. I burned off enough to have lost 20 pounds, but lost only 2. I kept my calories in and around 1200 and maintained a huge daily deficit.
As soon as I dropped my calories for a few days to 1100 the weight unlocked.
1300-1500 is a healthier number to get all of the nutrients in, but there are other factors like which food choices to make for health. Keto works for some, intermittent fasting works for some - long term sustainable healthy changes theoretically should work for everyone
Our bodies burn more calories digesting food than anything else - but for those of us whose jobs don't work like that getting 6 small meals in a day isn't doable or preferable.
We all watched our parents eat less as they aged - we don't need as much as our metabolisms slow to a crawl. Our sports become less extreme.
Senior's menus and half-portions exist in restaurants because people don't eat as much food (maybe don't need as much food) as we age.3 -

Celebrated our 20th anniversary with a trip to Big Cedar for four days (Wednesday-Saturday). I knew I’d be up, and yesterday read 164.2, so I’m glad to not see that number this morning!
Had more carbs than usual and had some beers (Mich Ultra). Had four the first night, which made me not feel great the next day, so kept it 2 or under the next two nights and felt a lot better. I ate well and tracked everything, around 500-800 more calories a day than usual and did have a bit of dessert two nights. We were very active with hiking 5 miles a day (it’s the Ozarks, so big steep hills), horseback riding, paddle boats, mini golf and bowling. Step count between 15 and 20k a day.
Back at it now. Sunday I cut calories and no carbs other than from veggies and and one serving of fruit. 135 oz water. Hopefully I’m headed back down rather than up. 🤞🏻
22nd - 161.4
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have been bouncing between 161.4 and 160 since March 26th. I have cut calories to 1100-1200, increased calories to 1300-1500, increased my steps, make sure I burn 500+ calories a day, cardio and strength/resistance combos a minimum of 4 days a week, walking on rest days... but still, I cannot break 160. I know I’m losing inches and I feel better, but that feeling is starting to wear off. I want to see the numbers shift. 😔
25th- 159.2
Had to post this one! YESSSS!! FINALLY!! 🥳
29th -
Total loss for April - 2.2
9 -
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 (couldn'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.
April 20 - 166.8
April 21 - 167.5
April 22 - 166.0
April 23 - 166.4 - Tuesday
April 24 - 166.8 - ate so late after a very long day at work trying to catch up after being off for a week. Not 100%, but it is the last skating opportunity of the season at noon today.
April 25 - 166.2 - Skated yesterday : - )
Running loss/gain - loss 6.65 -

Congratulations!!! April has been the same battle for me, stuck just over 165 and can’t seem to break through. Pants are loser, feeling good and looking good but I want that number on the scale.
I’m inspired by you to just keep going, it will happen!
Super happy for you, the battle is real.

I'm back for another round! Still trying to get into the 140's, lol. Ended March at 150.1, so close, but not a 149 something on the scale. Looking to finish this month at 146, that's a pound a week and hopefully get past this 3 week plateau I have been dealing with. Let's get started!
Starting weight: 178
Goal weight: 140
Challenge start weight: 150.1
Challenge goal weight: 146.0
Weigh in days will be Thursday
April 1 - 152.6 weekend bump always happens on Mondays!
April 4 - 148.8 I am finally out of the 150's! Maybe, hopefully. lol. We will see what next week brings!
April 11 - 148.8 same at least it didn't go up I guess
April 18 - DNW - NO SCALE ON VACATION
April 25 - 148.1 Slowly continuing the slope down. Don't think I will make the 5 pounds, but even if I can make 3 or 3.5 I would be happy!
