Hi Everyone - Happy March
February saw little scale movement for me it was more about getting some basics sorted. So the goal for this month is to keep up with the changes I made in Feb and hopefully I should start to see good things.
March SW: 240.8lbs
Goal for the month 235.0 lbs
Non- scale goals
1) take my lunch 4/5 days a week. this will help me better control what I eat and will save me a bit of money
2) workout 3x a week. I have one steady day where I get exercise cause ita a dance class I love, but working in the other time has been hard. but with support from my husband I have started to find times to do this. So if I stick with it it will be good for me...I loved working out pre-kid. so trying to remember that and be gentle on my much heavier self
3) Walk more. weather is getting nicer so I can work in more walking, cause some days I am not even getting close to my 10k step goal.
let's do this!

Hello!
I’m new here but thought I’d join the fun! I’m Laura, a 35yo teacher, and in the beginning of my second stint on MFP. Back in 2017, I lost 40 pounds successfully, but now I’m back with even more to lose...
Heighest Weight: 222
SW: 215.8
CW: 205.2
GW: 150
Height: 5’7
In March, I’m aiming to get below 195, and to be in a mental place where I can feel great in springtime clothes!
Looking forward to cheering you all on this month!!13 -
Yay for March!! This is my 3rd month with the group and I love you ladies!
SW: 228
CW: 196.9
GW #1: 180
I finally hit ONE-derland in February so my goal for March is to get to 188. March should be interesting as classes will be intensifying so keeping my meal prep needs to be on point. So if you have any great recipes, send them my way!
As I met most of my non-university friends at the local Irish pub in Antwerp, I'll be celebrating St. Patrick's Day on the 14th. Very excited about that but will need to really keep my calories in check due to that. I've been pretty good avoiding temptation but I struggle some days with knowing if i'm actually hungry or just snacky.
I recently got a little bit extra $ that I wasn't expecting so I plan on using it to buy a yearly gym membership at the local gym. I really need to start lifting/heavier cardio so I really can see some changes in my body.
I hope everyone has a good week and I'm headed to Bruges on Friday so I'll throw a picture of my day trip in the next update!12 -

GW: 160ish
March Goal Weight: 212
Weigh-in day: Friday
Last month, I did about 6.4 lbs. My goal this month is to do a bit better and get down to 212. I am going to try to stick to what I have been doing, but be a bit more strict. I was fairly good about the exercise in Feb, but I did have a lot of days where I ate off plan (at least 6 days I totally went off the rails!). Weekends seem to be the hardest for me! After being good all week sometimes I just don't have the motivation to stay on plan during the weekend. I am going to try having my husband do more of the weekend cooking and see if that helps!10 -
As my half way to goal present to myself I rented a dress for a fundraising benefit for my son’s school. Just wanted to post a pic; unfortunately I don’t have one that’s full length but I did feel beautiful and festive last night!

Scale is still broken 😓 oh well. I’m still here and still hanging on! March is a new month, even though I don’t know how I ended February.
Student, mom, perpetually tired.

SW 283
CW ?? Last weight was something like 196
GW Idk yet. 160 sounds good. BMI indicates 130-140, but that’s been hard for me to maintain in the past.
March goal: lose 1 lb per week. 5 Sundays in March, so 5 lbs.
Idk. I’m burning out guys. I have been on some form of a diet since I was 20...that’s 18 years. I’m sure many of us can relate to that experience 😅

Last week was horrible as far as the eating goes, I made horrible choices, overate my calories and gained almost 2 lbs back.😱🤦♀️
Really, I spent whole Feb not trying too hard.
So March is my month! I'll try lose those 2 lbs each week. And I'll try to be consistent with it 😊
You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work!💕10 -

Let's try this again. February didn't turn out how I wanted, my goal was to reach 230lbs, I got down to 233lbs and now I'm back up to 238lbs. I know part of that is water and hormones (medicated cycles-TTC) but I also know I did not eat as well as I could have.

I'm declaring this Maintenance March for myself. I just hit Onederland this morning. Woohoo! I've got a lot going on this March - a conference, a vacation, a visit from may college-aged daughter and quite a few dinner reservations because it's Portland Dining Month. So with reaching that milestone, it seems like a good month to practice maintenance, learn more about what my TDEE is and the dive back into deficit land in April.

Helloooo! It's FINALLY March! Bring on spring!
My final Feb weigh-in is oddly tomorrow at work, but I did weigh myself at the end of last week and maintained 251 (started at 255.5 at the beginning of the month). I'm a bit "meh" on that front, but I have been lifting weights 5/7 days a week and I'm going to attribute a lot of it to new muscle (and some of it to going over my calorie intake for the day). I did go to the gym and worked out 21 times out of February's 29 days, and since January was 1 out of 31... I'm pretty darn proud of that.
My 10 goals for March:
1. Hit 6 cups of water every day (which I only managed to do a couple of times last month, but consistently at 4-5 cups a day).
2. Gym 5/7 days a week with a focus on weight training (less cardio, more lifting). I now have a trainer that I meet with twice a month, but I need to be better about doing the workout that she has started outlining for me even if it kicks my butt and causes some pain (the entire focus of the workout is strengthening my injured R knee & hip as well as L shoulder).
3. Push ups: I need to do a minimum of 5 good ones a day for week 1.
4. I don't care how many pounds I lose (really), I just want to gain muscle and lose inches this month. I'll take my measurements again tomorrow.
5. Food logging 7/7 days a week.
6. This is the big, BIG one: PLAN meals for the day, including snacks. So many days were sabotaged last month due to this, especially with skipping meals then eating everything that wasn't stapled down when I got home.
7. Learn how to use the big scary machine in the corner at the gym.
8. Weigh myself every morning at home to stay on track.
9. Increase protein intake by 10g/day to stay fuller longer.
10. Hang out in here more often for inspiration.

Just a quick check in. Today has been food prep day. I did both chicken and broccoli salad, roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and grape tomatoes. Then broiled some beef patties for me and meatloaf patties for the family. Time to hit the dumbbells. Hope everyone is off to a great March start. I will catch up and comment later this afternoon. Huge thank you to @RavenStCloud for keeping this going every month. It is much appreciated.17 -
@snapgal777 Hi There! This is our new March group! So glad your on this journey with us!!!5

@aliciap0116 You look gorgeous!
@BrownSugar174 You are such an inspiration to me: confident and beautiful!
@speyerj Thank you for always encouraging me
@Aerohead21 I think we've all been burned out at some point! It always helps when I get to shake up my routine. Maybe a new healthy recipe or tweaking an old favorite to make it healthier? Try something new? Go to the store and try on your old size to see how far you've come? Make a new workout playlist? You definitely can do this! Hugs to you!8 -
@bluffgirl67 Your meal prep plan is definitely motivating me! I have to hit the grocery store tonight after dinner and am planning on prepping after work tomorrow.5

@speyerj congrats on Onederland!! That is huge, especially considering the rollercoaster with your BP meds this last few weeks! Love your plan for the month.
@Aerohead21 totally understand hitting a slump; it does get hard. My recollection is that your calorie goal was pretty low. Would adjusting make it more sustainable for you? You have a lot going on and it could be wearing it your energy.
And thank you all for your kind words!8
