Lose 5lbs + in March 2020

Female, 59, 5'3"
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
February end weight 154.4
March goal: 150.3
May goal: 138.1
Ultimate goal: 112-115

Sunday March 01 - 155.3 - Starting up almost a whole pound higher than my February end weight, but definitely going to stay the course. I must have had something salty today, because I had 3 litres of water and am still thirsty, I normally have about 1.5 litres (=6 8oz glasses).
Monday March 02 - 156.8 - My consumption and exercise calories out were on point, but I think that the jump could be due to liquid from yesterday and sodium.
Wednesday March 04 - 156.1 - Those 140s are looking elusive, but I will continue to try
Thursday March 05 - 154.8 - MFP said 139 in 5 weeks. I don't believe that, but it gives me hope : - )
Friday March 06 - 155.5
Saturday March 07 - 155.2
Sunday March 08 - 156.4 - Burned lots of calories yesterday so still had calories left over, but had pita pizza and drinks, so up over a pound. Hopefully lots of it is just salt, we'll see how the next couple of days go to undo this.
Monday March 09 - 156.7 - Maybe tomorrow this will go back down, I will work out extra today.
Tuesday March 10 - 157.2 - Not sure why I am gaining, hoping to see it come back down soon, I am working at it.
Wednesday March 11 - 155.3 - back to day one of this month weight, I'll take it.
Thursday March 12 - 154.2 - Much better.
Friday March 13 - 152.1 - New low! Really happy to see this number today.
Sunday March 15 - 154.5 - Right on track, so hoping to see this drop tomorrow.

Everyone, wishing you well and stay safe during these trying times!

I actually hit my goal weight then I decided I deserved to eat everything I wanted for a day and I saw the consequences very quickly, lol.

So now, I am trying to get used to working from home and exercising at home.

Well...these classes were cancelled due to the pandemic...hoping we can continue them later.
To add-on, my husband and I joined classes at our local community college. Classes include strength and sculpt, yoga, and zumba. We have 10 passes good until 5/1 and I'm excited to try zumba in 2 weeks. Strength and sculpt left us sore today. Win win!

FYI: I have adjusted my ultimate goal because when I hit 118 in Dec 2019, I realized that I still wanted to try to lower my body fat to a normal range. I have been back and forth between 33% and 35% for three months. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.
