    4 Mar 286.5
    5 Mar 286.4 doesn’t seem like I am losing but I ain’t rushing.
    6 Mar 285.7 😃😃
    7 Mar 285.4 😃😃 not bad I also went over calories but it was all healthy
    8 Mar 284.0 😊😊😊😊😊 expecting a slow down very soon as this is just too good lol. I also haven’t been trying much really just lowered my overall calories by 750 no exercise.
    9 Mar 284.9 woke up a bit early so my weight is a little higher. But still happy cause it’s going down overall.
    10 Mar 283.7 🙂🙂🙂 if I can keep losing weight like this stress free I am confident I can hit my goal.
    11 Mar 283.8 happy with that 🙂
    12 Mar 282.9 😃 didn’t eat much yesterday so that explains the one pound drop. I expect to gain some back tomorrow but I’ll enjoy that number in the meantime.
    13 Mar 383.7 😧 was expecting something higher ate more then usual. But overall really happy with how things are going. Eager to start walking not for exercise but just for the fresh air unfortunately it’s still a bit too cold for me.
    14 Mar 282.9 😃
    15 Mar 281.6 😁😁😁 feeling good today. If this keeps up I might be able to see 270’s this month.
    16 Mar 283 😧 might of had too much sodium yesterday.
    17 Mar 278-288 🤪🤪🤪woke up really early feeling awesome. Seems my scale wants to act up. Couldn’t get an accurate reading kept jumping all over the place.
    18 Mar 283.3 had pizza yesterday just enjoyed myself didn’t go over calories. I’ve been having too much carbs and sodium lately but I am enjoying myself and losing weight. Not in a rush no point in making this miserable since this change is permanent.
    19 Mar 283
    20 Mar 282.4 😃
    21 Mar 282.4 eating too much. Started walking a few days ago and have been eating back exercise calories. I might be over eating maybe exercise calories are not accurate.
    22 Mar 283 🤨can’t say this isn’t getting annoying.
    23 Mar 282.4
    24 Mar 281.7 😃 I believe patience is more important than counting calories.
    25 Mar 284 not surprised at all. Ate way too much. At least 1000 calories over maintenance but was worth it. Now back on today to hit this goal.
    26 Mar 283.5
    27 Mar 283.5
    28 Mar 282.3
    29 Mar 281.7

    October: lost 10 pounds
    November: lost 5 pounds
    December: lost 5.6 pounds
    January: lost 8.4 pounds
    February: lost 5.6 pounds

    Up 3 pounds from lowest Feb weight from drinking and eating out over the weekend. Birthday beach trip planned in early April, so wanting to do a 4 week challenge to challenge myself to not eat out or drink 😁 Here we go.

    Mar 01: 128
    Mar 02: 130.6 😬
    Mar 03: 129.2
    Mar 04: 127.4
    Mar 05: 125.2 all the water weight from the weekend is gone, new low 👏🏻
    Mar 06: 124.0 new low! Resisted danishes & cookies at small group last night. I’ve got goals to get ☺️ also joined a gym yesterday after working out at home for 4 years. And I’m so excited!!

    I have weighed everyday but have been so busy with 3 kids at home due to COVID-19, that I kept forgetting to keep up with it. Diet has been okay, definitely had more desserts and wine than usual last week. Beach trip was cancelled for April so I lost a tiny bit of motivation, but it’s back 💪🏻

    Mar 25: 123.8
    Mar 26: 123.6

    Ate junk and drank all weekend, so we’re just going to call this month a flop 😬 My first month of having no weight loss at the end of the month 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Pre-MFP Diet start weight: 250 lbs
    Pre-MFP weight loss (May-Jan): -26 lbs
    Feb loss: -2.2 lb
    Start weight March: 222.8
    Goal weight this month: 218, then continue to lose weight
    Target goal weight: 210 (or whatever weight gets my Cardiologist off my back)

    1 Mar 222.8 (I've adjusted my settings to be a bit more aggressive. We'll see...)
    2 Mar 224.2 (Oh, for the love of Pete...I don't need to lose these same 2 pounds again!)
    3 Mar 224.2 :|
    4 Mar 223.6 :)
    5 Mar 23.6 :| (Clearing a typo, that's 223.6. No, I didn't go back to toddler weight.)
    6 Mar 222.6 :smiley:
    7 Mar 222.2 :smiley:
    8 Mar 222.2 :|
    9 Mar 223.4 (Figures. The first day of being diet-hungry...and I gain.)
    10 Mar 223.2 (How quickly it comes on, how slowly it comes off...)
    11 Mar 223.4 :scream:
    12 Mar 221.2 (Fantastic, but not very repeatable. Regular breakfast, very small lunch [an apple and some blueberries], long, proper, off-trail walk through a country field, lots of water, light dinner, 630 calories short of my daily goal. Thought about food all day. But it's a different number!)
    13 Mar 219.2 (OH YEAH!!! AND I HAVE PICTURES!! I haven't claimed sub-220 since 1997!)
    14 Mar Scout Camp Out, no weigh in
    15 Mar Scout Camp Out, no weigh in
    16 Mar 220.6. (Will take it.)
    17 Mar 220.2 (No more gym for me for now, only a 1.5 mile walk with the fam, so this is a victory!)
    18 Mar 220.0 (SD Day 2, only a quick .75 mile walk and BW exercises, but still dropping! :smiley: )
    19 Mar 220.4 (SD Day 3, 1.5 mile walk, BW exercises, and feeling the burn from the new routine.)
    20 Mar 219.4 (SD Day 4, the new routine seems to be working! At least while the weather holds out.)
    21 Mar 219.6 (The weather didn't hold out...)
    22 Mar 221.2 (Sigh, I guess this too shall pass.)
    23 Mar 221.2 (Cold, wet dreary day kept me inside. Didn't really do anything to deserve a loss.)
    24 Mar 221.2 (Waiting for this to pass...)
    25 Mar 221.6 (I should have guessed how salty that food was going to be. At least it isn't 221.2 anymore...)
    26 Mar 220.8 (I think I can, I think I can...)
    27 Mar 219.6 (Almost there. Almost there...)
    28 Mar 217.8 GOOOAAALLLL!!!!! Now to start on April's goal.
    29 Mar 217.6
    30 Mar 218.4 (OK, so I enjoyed the weekend. Onward.)
    31 Mar 217.6 Ending on a winner! Bring on April!

    15 Mar 145.3 <3 New low. This week, started walking leisurely for 15 minutes after dinner. I also set up my Fitbit to remind me to every 20 minutes to move for 2 minutes - it could be walking or air squats. I've read that doing these after dinner will help lowers blood sugar. I'll continue doing these this week. Good luck everyone.

    Starting weight 15st 8.5
    Start weight this month 14st 1.3
    Goal weight this month (amended) 13st 9.3 (initial 13st 13)
    Target goal weight 11st 0

    Started 9th Nov. 
    Nov lost: 10.4lb
    Dec lost: 7.7lb
    Jan lost: 9.1lb
    Feb GAIN: 6lb (bereavement/quit smoking)

    1 Mar - 14st 1.3 (+/-0)
    2 Mar - 14st 1.5 (+0.2lb) - not the right direction!
    3 Mar - 14st 0.4 (-1.1lb/-0.9lb) 😀
    4 Mar - 13st 13.4 (-1.0lb/-1.9lb) Yay! Under 14st!  Hoping I can keep the motivation up to continue this month.
    5 Mar 13st 12.3 (-1.1lb/-3.0lb) I had put on weight quickly at the end of February, so figuring mush of this recent loss is water, but it is good to see the scale go down :-)
    6 Mar 13st 12.0 (-0.3lb/-3.3lb) quite unexpectedly, I have stuck at this so far in March - and have hit my initial goal, so I am amending my goal to be a total of 6lb loss - which is what I gain in Feb.
    7 Mar 13st 12.5 (+0.5lb/-2.8lb)
    8 Mar 13st 12.8 (+0.3lb/-2.5lb) I was bad last night - went way over calories and did not track.  Back on plan today, but I expect the scale will not be good to me tomorrow!
    9th Mar 13st 12.4 (-0.4lb/-2.9lb)Didn't expect that 😀
    10th Mar 13st 11.5 (-0.9lb/-3.8lb) 😁
    11th Mar 13st 11.0 (-0.5lb/-4.3lb)
    12th Mar 13st 9.0 (-2.0lb/-6.3lb) 😮 completely unexpected - though was peeing for England yesterday! Don't think this will stick.
    13th Mar 13st 10.7 (+1.7lb/-4.6lb) 🤷Didn't stick!  Was good yesterday - just the ups and downs of daily weighing!
    14th Mar 13st 9.4 (-1.3lb/-5.9lb) weight really bouncing around here!
    15th Mar 13st 9.5 (+0.1lb/-5.8lb) Happy with this ☺
    16th Mar 13st 10.1 (+0.6lb/-5.2lb) And back up again 🤷Have been on plan, so not sure why!?!?!
    17th Mar 13st 9.3 (-0.8lb/-6.0lb) Hopefully it won't go back up tomorrow 😂
    18th Mar 13st 8.8 (-0.5lb/-6.5lb)
    19th Mar 13st 7.6 (-1.2lb/-7.7lb) Woohoo!
    20th Mar 13st 10.7 (+3.1lb/-4.6lb) Yikes! One naughty day and this happened....  Chinese takeaway (and indulged far too much)!
    21st Mar 13st 10.7 (-+0lb/-4.6lb) Still paying the price for the Chinese takeaway - worth it though, and back on plan.
    22nd Mar 13st 9.1 (-0.6lb/-6.2lb) ☺
    23rd Mar 13st 8.5 (-0.6lb/-6.8lb)
    24th Mar 13st 9.5 (+1.0lb/-5.8lb) I really need to start tracking - have not the last couple of days.....
    25th Mar 13st 8.8 (-0.7b/-6.5lb) In the right direction.
    26th Mar 13st 9.3 (+0.5lb/-6.0lb) ugghhh
    27th Mar 13st 7.7 (-1.6lb/-7.6lb) 😄 unexpected, but have been on plan.
    28th March 13st 9.5 (+1.8lb/-5.8lb) should not have had the Indian Takeaway last night.  Must not make this a weekly thing!  Have a few days to reign it in before the end of the month.
    29th Mar 13st 9.0 (-0.5lb/-6.3lb)
    30th Mar 13st 9.5 (+0.5lb/-5.8lb)
    31st Mar 13st 8.6 (-0.9lb/-6.7lb) finished lower than target, so happy with that.  However all the good work was done in the first couple of weeks, last 2 has been yoyoing.  Need to get focus back - April here I come!
