WINTER WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE 2020 (January, February, March, and April) A Continuation

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 187 lbs Aug., 2019
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 172.4 lbs (I weigh in every Fri ~ longtime habit ~ so I will be posting twice a week.)

Jan. 6: OK. Here we go...Fri Jan 3 ~ weighed in @ 171.2 ~ I'm really hoping that this time my "plateau" is finally OVER!! I just have 1or2 questions: Why, oh WHY do cough drops have to have calories?! 💔 And if I cough my head off for a week, does that count as exercise?? 😷😜😂 ...MON JAN 6 ~ 172.6 lbs. I must be holding water or something cuz even tho' I've been sick & not working out very much, I have been VERY CAREFUL about weighing everything I eat. At this point I am *this close* to giving up. 😥
I found this link via one of my email newsletters ~ good advice for yours truly here...

Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
December 21, 2019 starting weight - 144.2 (ten-day rolling average 144.6)
Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)

I had achieved my goal last Winter and gone into maintenance. I hope y'all don't mind a maintainer in here as an interloper. When you get to your goal, you'll see that maintenance is still a challenge. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit.

Happy winter!


Winter Begins:
Dec. 21: 144.2 (10-day average 144.6)
Dec. 28: 144.6 (10-day average 145.0)

January Goal: 143
January Actual: My scale went up three pounds overnight from my late night feast. Oh well. It's still a bit lower than the beginning of January, and my ten-day average weight is definitely back down at/below goal about 2.25 pounds less than the beginning of the month. Last week's weight was low from the bug that was running amok in my gut. I am optimistic I can stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.

Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: After the gains in October through November, I'm really happy to be back right at my maintenance weight.
