Hmm, my losses are slowing down but at least I'm going in the right direction. I upped my weights and strength workouts so maybe this is partly muscle gain? That would be nice. I've also been a bit sloppy with my diet (eating the stupid leftovers off my kids plates.... why??? So dumb) so I can definitely improve there.

But I'm also not very happy when I'm super restrictive with my diet, so that doesn't feel like the solution either. I worry about giving my kids (including 12 and 14 yr old girls) complexes about food or weight if they see their Mom constantly stressing about the scale or calories or keto or whatever. They need a role model with a healthy approach to food, including the occasional treat, as well as fitness and getting outdoors. So I'm just going to quietly keep chugging away with my slow loss and not do anything extreme. Even though I really would love to kick *kitten* and do something crazy to lose the last 5 - 6 lbs by June which is about when I need to put on shorts or a bathing suit...... 😁

Feb EW - 142.5 - AVE 142.4

March Goal - move average weight to 130s

1. Stay off sugar - Cheat days are anniversary and birthday
2. Stay Keto

3/1 - 142.5 - AVE 142.4 - huge mexican food dinner out last night for hubby's birthday. Back at it today.
3/2 - 141.8 - AVE 142.3 - no cheating yesterday
3/3 - 140.4 - AVE 141.7 - yesterday was really good
3/8 - 140.8 - AVE 140.6 - Been traveling a fair amount, trying to refocus today.
3/9 - 140.4 - AVE 140.4 - yesterday was hellacious on so many levels.
3/10 - 141.6 - AVE 140.7 - K=.5 Rather a bummer, but I did a decent job yesterday. I haven't been sleeping much and have been crazy stressed.... I think it's taking a toll. I did get a little gadget to help me see if I'm getting into ketosis yesterday and will start checking every morning - it's a blood test.
3/11 - 141.5 - AVE 140.9 - K=.8 Just trying to stay steady. Yesterday was good... My goal till Sunday is no bread, sugar or wheat. Road trip this afternoon and my anniversary is Sunday - we've got reservations at a really cool restaurant - I'm not logging that meal! You HAVE to celebrate sometimes!
3/15 - 144.8 - AVE 143.4 - The after effects of a fabulous wknd. LOL Back at it today. Yesterday was our anniversary and we literally celebrated all day. I can't remember the last time I inhaled so much sugar, bread, popcorn... all the stuff. Funny how my joints feel a bit swollen today...
3/16 - 145.6 - AVE 144.0
3/17 - 142.2 - AVE 143.8 - K=.6 Yesterday was solid.
3/18 - 140.8 - AVE 143.1 - K=.3 I thought yesterday was good... but ketone rating says otherwise. At least the water weight left.
3/22 - 141.8 - AVE 141.7 - I feel like tomorrow will be better... I killed an entire bag of sunflower seeds on my 5 hour drive yesterday. Feel so bloated from all the sodium today.

@ksfessler88 - great goals!

Hi all! It’s been awhile.
Looks like everyone is doing well 👍🏻

I got my IUD out on the 9th so it’s been over a week.
How do I feel? Still the same. Hoping to feel better soon but i know it’ll take time. Giving 2-3 months.

Scale tells me I’m still at 117.
I’m eating the same, working out the same.
Taking way too much ibuprofen but can’t function without it 😞

Enjoying seeing all your effort’s and stuff. Keep it up ladies!!!

I hope your health will be back to normal soon.

ME:
31y * 5'9" * BMI:22,3 * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)


Jan loss: - 2,3kg~70,4kg
Feb loss: -1.4kg~69kg
March loss: -0.1kg~68,9kg

29 March: 68.3kg

Did excellent during the week but completely tanked sat-sun. Ate extra low kcal yesterday so not sure this number is very accurate, but can't deny I'm relieved to see it.

In general I am a bit bummed: barely lost any weight this month (avg compared with Feb), despite considerable effort.

The way I see it, you are losing slowly but surely and as you know, it is the best way to maintain once you are there. So keep up what you are doing because it is clearly working.
You've got this !

@Antiopelle Thanks for the pat on the back! I weighed in at 113.8 this morning - wasn’t even trying to! I’m trying to get my mind around this. A month ago I was 7lbs heavier - and just gave up sugary snacks for Lent and joined a 10k step daily challenge from MFP friend. Maybe I was due for a whoosh?! In any event, gonna start back lifting!

Thanks for startingthethread@l4a_p! Great name

01/03: 74.2 - February didn't go as planned. A large amount of cookies in the house was my downfall resulting in an average gain of 0.2kg instead of 1.0 loss. But this is a new month, a clean slate and all the cookies are over and done with ! Luckily I got 244,85 km of walks and already a total of 231 of biking kms this year to counter at least a little bit. Let's hit it girls !
03/03: 73.8
08/03: 74.8 - I know I didn't gain a full kilo in just 5 days, but it sure feels like it. Yes, I ate more than planned, but still not as much as I would in maintenance and still I gain. I am struggling to eat less because I'm much more sedentary than usual and I really need to adapt. A one hour walk a day doesn't warrant eating an extra cheese sandwichSo, I need to get a grip on the situation, and luckily I have these threads that at least keep me somewhat in check and accountable. An honest and deep felt thank you ladies (yes, you).
09/03: 74.5
10/03: 74.0 - that's water weight gone, good riddance! Now let's attack those fat cells.
17/03: 73.8 - and that could have been better if hubbie hadn't decided to bring some fancy easter eggs from the bakery on Sunday. He felt like I needed a treat after a horrendous work week. I love him to bits, but why chocolate?! But on the bright side: all the other days were really ok, hence the slight loss.

On Saturday we will leave for a 9 day break to the Ardennes, a hilly region in Belgium. Not very far from our house (we still can't cross borders yet), but a whole other atmosphere. The plan is to do a lot of walks. It's the first time since 2003 that we are having a non-diving holiday and it feels strange. Restaurants and bars will still be closed, so we plan to have some take out regularly.

29/03: 75.8 And we are back. We did more than 100 km hiking in rugged terrain, climbed more than 3.000 meters of elevation, but it was not enough to compensate my vacuum cleaner mode when it came to food. However, no regrets! It was a fantastic holiday with loads of wildlife, staying in a cottage in the middle of a silence zone, and we've enjoyed every minute of it. Tomorrow will be better as I'm sure it is - at least partly - bloating from all the sugar and salt I've been inhaling.
30:03: 74.6 - that's better

Haven't weighed myself in a bit cause I've been a busy momma. We are now a 3 dog household!
