    I always get 2 weight spikes in my cycle. At TOM and at Ovulation. This is the only explanation I have for today’s weight. Wow! I can’t even. It’s huge this month.

    UPDATE: Ok now I’m thinking this is more than ovulation spike. This may also be confinement gain. Sigh.

    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.
    Tuesday March 17 - 156.7 - Ouch
    Wednesday March 18 - 156.1 - I almost let discouragement of this process get to me yesterday. I have to keep logging daily and dig deep to keep on doing this.
    Thursday March 19 - 155.4
    Friday March 20 - 156.5 - Ribs dinner last night.
    Saturday March 21 - 157.2 - Still being self-indulgent.
    Sunday March 21 - 157.8 - I have been burning lots of calories exercising and hiking, I will have to stop eating everything that I feel like having and get back on track.

    @dawnbgethealthy Thank you. I will let you know if I do try them out.

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

    I'm doing well with my calorie counting and doing a bit of walking/at home workout since WFH - avg last week was 1370 and yesterday, I had 1252 calories.

    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.

    MFP Starting Weight: 140 lbs - February 2011
    Current Starting Weight: 147.4 lbs - November 2017
    March Starting Weight: 118.2 lbs (same as Feb 2020)
    March Goal: 115.2 lbs
    Height: 5ft

    Ultimate Goal: 110 lbs ... May 2020? 1 Year Wedding Anniversary
    Maintenance Goal: 110 to 115 lbs

    Weigh-In Days: Monday and Friday

    March 2: 118.6 at 6:30am ... it's better than my first weigh-in last month ... 34% BF
    March 6: 117.2 at 6:30am ... I am seeing this number a little more and I like it
    March 9: 116.4 at 6:45am ... :o ... a new low ... 33% BF
    March 13: 115.2
    March 16: 116.8 ... yep, I ate everything I wanted and suffered the consequences ... 33% BF
    March 20: 115.6 at 7am ... getting back to it!
    March 23: 115.2 at 6:30am ... focused calorie counting since I do not burn much with WFH ... 32% BF :o
