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 22 - 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.
Monday March 23 - 156.6 - 8 more days left in the month, I'm going to work very hard to try and drop this number.
Tuesday March 24 - 156.0 - A week left to try to at least get to my starting weight at the beginning of the month.
Wednesday March 25 - 156.3
Thursday March 26 - 156.0 - It would be nice to get down to at least my February end weight, that would mean losing 0.7 pounds over the next days.7 -
@syreina❤ I take it one day at a time. If I'm feeling hungry earlier in the day, I eat. Sometimes, I can get by with a bit of food from my planned meal. Sometimes, I need 2 actual meals, when my hunger is driven by the stress of our collective current situation.6

Working a few feet from my kitchen makes it really hard to stay on track. I also am anxious and stressed which makes me want to snack.
Thankfully it has been nicer weather this week so I have been taking walks most days after work.
Stay safe everyone!

March 2 starting weight - 144.0 (ten-day rolling average weight 144.3)
March goal - 143
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).
March 2 (standing in for February 29): 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)
March 7: 143.8 (10-day average 143.7)
March 14: 146.2 (10-day average 145.2)
March 21: 147.0 (10-day average 146.7)

March 31:
Total loss for March`: I don't want to talk about it. At least I'm still in my maintenance range. At least I am finally moving close to my goal the last week. I am trying to stop the stress eating.
