Still managed to lose a pound and stayed under weekly goal weight.

STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 253 on January 11, 2018
CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 191.8
Jan. 6: 191.8 A nice small overnight drop. I need better choices & more water.
Jan. 13: 195.4 I am really fighting severe glucose drops & frenzied eating to bring it back up. Horrid! Until my blood sugar stabilizes, I can't begin to set each month's goal. I will get there....
Jan. 20: 189.7 Its been a week of blood glucose highs and lows. Slowly I am re-adjusting my body to my original meal plan & exercise goals. Each day finds me feeling a bit better and closer to better numbers all around. It’s nice to see this drop. It was done slowly, a little everyday for the most part.
Jan. 27: 190.0 I made goal right on target but with a severe struggle due to the glucose issues. I am still actively work hard on that and hope I can get it resolved soon.
Jan. 31: 191.6 I’m not ending this month very well. It will be a catchup game in February.
January Goal: 190.0
January Actual: 191.6
Feb 1: 191.6
Feb. 3: 192.6 Superbowl Carbs. Was mindful of the snacks but there was pasta.
Feb. 10: 193.1 Was trying a new experiment. It’s clearly not working for me. I think I just confused my mind AND my body!
Feb. 17: 194.8 Yucky!
Feb. 24: 195.5 Up, then moving back down. I am tweaking my carbs to under 50 and my cals to under 1400. I think this is the best spot for those severe glucose problems I’ve been having. Next week’s weigh-in should tell much.
Feb. 29: 198.6 Out last night with a friend. I only ate half and boxed the rest for my son. But carbs are carbs and they are still my enemy.
February Goal: 184.0
February Actual: 198.6
Mar. 1: 199.8 A new month, a new start, a new me! Let’s go everybody!
Mar. 2: 201.6 Emergency travel yesterday. Limited movement and food choices. Back home today and motivated!
Mar. 9: 200.2 Better.
Mar. 16: 200.7 Things are getting very rough here in Michigan in regards to the Coronavirus. I’ve got to stop stress eating and grazing!

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...

Jan. 13: Fri Jan 10 ~ 171.6 lbs ~ OK...I'm not gonna say any more. I don't wanna "jinx it." 😜 ...MON JAN 13 171.6 lbs ~ one comment: "thank God it's not a gain" ...that's all I was worried about; starting today, finally back to workouts!!
Jan. 20: Fri Jan 17 ~ 171.2 lbs ~ back to where I was, at least! not bad...not great...but not bad! I'll just pick it up from here, I guess! Mon Jan 20 ~ 171.2 lbs !!! 😂 no loss, no gain. no loss, no win. LOL ...not bad after 2 birthday parties AND...a get-together @ my bro's house!! I'm actually kinda proud of myself this morning! 😜
Jan. 27: Fri Jan 24 ~ 169.8 lbs! YESSSS!!!! 😂 ...MON Jan 27 ~ 169.8 lbs *again, same as FRI's update...but as long as I did NOT gain, I'm good with it. And...updating my measurements, I have LOST a total of 3.5" overall since November. I only wish I had measured myself when I first started back in August...but as my BMI has also gone DOWN a grand total of 2.9 since the beginning, I think I can safely say I'm gonna be just fine!! hehehe ........
JUST ONE LAST WEIGH-IN for Jan ~ Fri Jan 31 weighed in @ 168.8 lbs ~ I guess I'll say that I very nearly made my goal here, only .8 lbs above what I aimed for! (This may very well be the BEST I've done yet! 😉)
January Goal: 168 lbs
January Actual: 168.8 lbs
Feb. 3: 170.4 lbs ~ 😫 ~ This is a no-brainer...traveling out-of-state to visit relatives, eating unfamiliar food late at night with people who don't always weigh/measure (I'm used to no later than 6pm), no chance to work out, no place to put my feet up & now my ankles are swollen again...it all adds up, doesn't it?! 😥 Well...as they say, today is a NEW DAY!!! hehehe... Fri Feb 7 ~ 170.6 lbs ~ ouch! not as bad as I feared, but not as good as I would have hoped, either...When I get home next week I will be sure to be VERY watchful...I need to make that goal by the end of Spring! *wanna get back down to 135 lbs by the end of this journey....* 🙏....
Feb. 10: 170.2 lbs ~ back down!
...Fri Feb 14 ~ 169.8 lbs ~ back home now, back to strict program...over the whole "stomach thing" & actually ate a complete meal for lunch lol ...let's see how this weekend plays out, shall we? Birthday for 9yo grandson on Sunday, BE CAREFUL with cupcakes & ice cream...
Feb. 17: 168 lbs! Well, that's surprising...but not. I am finally back on track here. But I am updating my Feb goal to reflect what is possible in the next 2 weeks...maybe I will get past that, eh?! ...Fri Feb 21 ~ 169.6 lbs ~ huh. interesting, not sure how but.... 😩 ...
Feb. 24: 167.8 lbs ~ *whew!* ...much better than I had feared...I do NOT wanna give up frequent family gatherings, no matter the food served...I love my family! so, there's THAT. 😉 hehehe... Fri Feb 28 ~ 167.6 lbs a little less lost than I expected but I'll take any loss here; I'll see what Monday brings! (feeling hopeful)
February Goal: 166 lbs *update*
February Actual: 167.6 lbs
Mar. 06: 166.6 lbs (going back to FRIDAY-only weigh-ins!!)
Mar. 13: 167.2 lbs ~ Well that's what I get for going over my cal. limit 2 days in a row & not getting any work-out times in nearly all week!! new resolution here..... 🤞...
Mar. 20: 165.2 lbs ~ signs of HOPE HERE!
Mar. 27:
March Goal: 162 lbs
March Actual:6 -
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:
Dec. 31: 146.4 (10-day average 145.2)
Jan. 4: 144.8 (10-day average 145.3)
Jan. 11: 143.6 (10-day average 144.4)
Jan. 18: 139.8 (10-day average 143.5)
Jan. 25: 144.2 (10-day average 142.7)
Jan. 31: 144.8 (10-day average 144.6)
January Goal: 143
January Actual: By scale, depending which day you look at, I either gained an insignificant 0.2 pounds or lost almost a pound. By average weight, I'm down a little bit. I had a Bagel Disaster a week ago and had a weight spike that I'm finally getting over. Whew. I am optimistic I can stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
FEBRUARY:
Feb. 1: 143.4 (10-day average 144.5)
Feb. 8: 142.8 (10-day average 144.5)
Feb. 15: 145.8 (10-day average 144.0)
Feb. 22: Away from scale
Feb. 28: Away from scale
Mar. 2: Back from vacation and... 144.0 (I don't trust the ten day average since I have been gone ten days and it would calculate from the nine days before I left, but it would be 144.3)
February Goal: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
February Actual: Coming back from vacation, I expected to gain more, so I'm fine with where I am; on to ultimate goal again!
MARCH:
Mar 2: 144.0 (10-day average 144.3)
Mar 7: 143.8 (10-day average 143.7)
Mar 14: 146.2 (10-day average 145.2)
Mar 21: (Winter ends March 19 at 20:49 Pacific Standard Time): 147.0 (10-day average 146.7)
March Goal: Stay at my long term goal of 143 with small fluctuations.
March Actual: March hasn't been good to me - up 2.5 pounds. It's unlikely I will meet my goal for March. At least I'm still in my maintenance range, but moving farther from my goal the last couple weeks. Some is stress eating. I need to be mindful of that and CUT IT OUT. I also need to remind myself I am near the MIDDLE of my maintenance range. High-middle, yes, but not bouncing off the ceiling like I was on Tuesday (by scale weight; average lags behind and helps temper those silly spikes). Let's keep at it.
Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
Actual Weight loss for the challenge: My average weight is up about two pounds from the beginning of the challenge. Not what I expected. But still in my maintenance range.
Enjoy spring if you can. Keep your distance, wash your hands, and get some fresh air.
