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!

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!

@Go_Deskercise oh my goodness that puppy is adorable!

5'5", 54

Goal weight for March: 130 lbs
Daily workouts switching between upper body and lower body using dumbbells, bands and bodyweight

Would like to make these daily activities with my 12 yo daughter (instead of tv or ipad):
Walk/run
basketball
croquet
yard work

3/1: 132.2 lbs
3/2: 132.0
3/5: 130.6 lots of walking and yard work yesterday! I lowered my protein and upped my carbs a little bit like someone suggested in one of these posts and I think that has helped me. Thank you to whoever that was!
3/7: 131.2 Not sure what's to blame for the weight increase, either raising my weights for last nights work out or the ice cream I had at midnight. (or both)
3/14: 130.6 I've been trying to increase my calcium without adding too much dairy, so I had Frankenberry cereal today!
3/20: 130.6 I'm going out of town next weekend with a friend. I can't wait to relax and have fun, but also nervous about all the eating! Ha!
3/24: 129.4 I did it! I took a picture of the scale for bragging rights (I have not weighed this low since before my first child was born-she's 21) and I'm off tonight to my weekend in Nashville to blow it all on barbeque and pancake breakfasts. Will be worth it I'm sure! I'm going to continue my workouts while I'm gone (I can do 10 min workout videos) and lots of walking.
3/29: 133.2 as expected, I didn't do my workouts but did lots of walking on vacation. Hoping it will drop off fast!
3/30: 132.8 back at it, going for a walk/run in a minute and then workout tonight.

31/03: 74.5 - I end the month 300gr heavier than I started, that wasn't the plan. But I have high hopes for April, the weather will be better and I'll have more opportunities for biking and walking, and maybe even for some calorie burning diving - that would be fantastic!
