    I forgot to post yesterday. I can assume that I won't lose anything by tomorrow. I guess I have only lost 1 pound this month. I was hopping finally be in the 110s or close to it but hopefully next month.

    March start Weight: 76,9kg
    March Goal Weight: 74,5kg
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 65kg *dreaming*

    Mar 1 : 76,9kg
    Mar 8: 77,0kg
    Mar 15: 75,9kg
    Mar 22: 75,4kg
    Mar 29: 75,0kg
    Mar 31: 74,8kg B)

    Missed my march goal by 300 grams. But I’m still doing my happydance ;)

    Assuming I keep this rate of loosing +/- 2,5kg per month I should’ve reached my ultimate goal in about 4 months.
    And THEN comes the really difficult part: holding the weight!!! Looking at the past 5-7 years I have regularly lost weight, typically around 10kg, in the spring just to regain them (or more) over the next ¾ - 1½ years. Fortunately I know what I’ve been doing wrong :(:D and I promised myself to not fall back into the old, bad habits.

    So long... Stay safe and healthy y’all <3

    See you in the april challenge!

    My name is Donna. I am 59 years young, 5’ 5” tall and from the Midwest.

    Original starting weight: 253.0
    March start Weight: 199.8
    March Goal Weight: 193.8
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (we’ll see when I get there!)



    Mar 1 : 199.8 A bigger me. However, a better me is on the way! Good luck everyone!
    Mar 8: 201.0 I’ve got to watch portion control, even on my “diet” foods!
    Mar 15: 200.1
    Mar 22: 202.0 Failing terribly with this shortage of foodstuff & ingredients. Putting on my thinking cap! Gotta move more. Still too cold outside. Working on some inside ideas I can follow through with.
    Mar 29: 203.5. I promise it will get better!
    Mar 31: 203.5 I hit my head on the same wall over & over and kept getting the same results. No surprises there! April will show a weight loss. Recommitting to myself the promise of health & vitality.

    Final thoughts: During this global pandemic, it is more important than ever to stay healthy. I am recommitting to self-improvement and better health overall. Bring April ON!!!!!!

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    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), and I plan to check-in on Saturdays.

    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: 147.0 (10-day average 146.7)
    Mar 28: 143.8 (10-day average 146.3)
    Mar 31: 146.6 (10-day average 146.2)

    Total loss for March: My mind is the only thing I've lost. 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. Stay safe!

    As you can see, March was a "gain" month. Oh well. Let's move on....

    Down a pound and a half, but its going to get tricky to maintain with quarantine and social distancing in place. Good luck all, stay safe.

    Mar 1: 223
    Mar 6: 222
    Mar 13: 220.5
    Mar 22: 219
    Mar 26: 217
    Mar 31:

    Weighed in a day early as I may not be able to log tomorrow. I've had to switch scales and I think the one I use at home is a pound light so I added a pound for a buffer. Hopefully it's only a pound light.
    Stay safe everyone and healthy everyone, I'm sure that the stress will not help the situation. But we can do this!

    Unfortunately I had to go back on a steroid and antibiotics for a sinus infection that won't go away. Which means I put weight back on however, I was able to keep it reasonably low and got back down quickly.

    My last weigh in for March would have been 220 but as of this morning I'm down to 217 again.
    I'll look forward to following the April challenge.
    Goid luck y'all.
