Women 200lb+, Let's Be Majestic This March!!!

Hi Everyone, I'm back on Fitness Pal. I'm happy to report that in all I've lost 50 pounds but I have a hard time sticking to it. I joined a program called Real Appeal which is free through my work.

On my birthday, I turned 55 and I had an epiphany that I didn't want to live the next half of my life obese. I started making some changes. On the program, I have lost 8 pounds in three weeks.

I would like to be on a board that will help keep me motivated since I have a long way to my goal.

First upward fluctuation today - need to remember that that's all it is, it doesn't mean I won't lose again, and it certainly doesn't mean I should give up!

8th March: 128.4kg
9th March: 127.8kg
10th March: 128kg

I love this thread. I gained a lot of strength and confidence in February with being consistent with my nutrition and working out. I haven't completely lost my motivation, but I am definitely being fueled by consistency vs motivation.

March Goals: Same as February. Make good food choices and since I am doing a 90 program I want to stick with the program schedule and not fall behind.

March 1: 262.2 - down 17.8 pounds - I started a new workout program yesterday which is cardio heavy, but also more on par for my fitness level. I'm able to push myself more because I can actually do the moves well. Looking forward to a great month!
March 8: 260.4 - Down 19.6 pounds - I'm really late with this weeks update. I had a really long hectic weekend and my body was like girl take a break. This week I have been feeling so out of it. Like who cares about healthy food and exercising, but I'm still here, and I'm still pushing.

It's Friyay!!
Soo glad I didn't let yesterday spoil my good run, in the past it was always that point that I gave up and decided it wasn't worth it (and that's how you end up 130kg!!!). Super happy with today's weight and tomorrow morning will be a whole week of commitment to losing weight!!

Bodies gonna body how bodies do. The number on the scale is just a description of your relationship with gravity in that moment, that's all. When was the last time you went #2, when was your last period, how much sodium have you had lately, did you ramp things up in the gym recently, is Mercury in Gatorade or something, etc.

Sooo... I can't help myself, I did a thing.

First of all, I have to say... @CupcakeCrusoe I LOVE THAT PIC!!! lols!! I will repost it for fun and good times:
Wow, I just laughed so freakin hard!! Also, loved your graphic when trying to do something after you workout.. I used to call it the workout mind melt. One time, I had lifted weights and decided to talk to a random lady and we had such a nice conversation. Then I realized when I got home I literally could remember none of it.. in a Charlie Brown's teacher sort of way. I decided not to do anything important after workouts because evidently working out mah muscles makes mah brain all freeky. Also, I did maintenance in January. But, I went back to it in February. So while I am a little sick and tired of counting calories and deficits and what not... Evidently not tired enough to go to maintenance for more. I haven't really decided where I will end up on the scale, but I just made it to overweight BMI recently and I just caught up to the hubby's totally normal for his size weight and I feel like I can get it done. It is just since (I am full on ranting now wah wah big baby) my weight was so high and it took me so long to get this far (pretend I said more here because I was thinking it). I have chosen to keep in deficit for now, and I have permission to go to maintenance at any time.

Well ladies, I will have to catch up with some other posts later as I only realized today, that I forgot to book mark March!! So I am all behind because I thought no one was posting anything. Fasting also makes mah brain all freeky apparently. Ladies we can do this, make this a March to remember. A March where you will say, "Oh that March was MADNESS!!"

Got to love the weekend!!
Had a very, very tasty meal last night which was fine calorie wise but probably high in salt (tasty!). Stuck today which is either completely random or proof that the food was indeed salty! Still, nearly 6lbs down this week 😁😁😁😁

I saw 191 and even 190 on the scale earlier this week, but guess who's back in town to eff everything up? That's right, it's my period. Ugh. I'll see a whoosh soon enough. I so did not miss going through all this when I was heavier tbqfh, but I def am not mad enough about it to want to go back to where I started, not seriously. My cycle is also really long, about 6 weeks - not sure if that's just my life now, or if my body will settle into a more typical monthly rhythm as time goes on.

I've been productive as heck today - I've done most of the laundry, and I've been a machine in the kitchen all morning. I made some delicious tomato soup for lunch, from almost-scratch (I started with canned whole tomatoes - if they were in season rn I would have gotten fresh). I also made a chocolate-and-cherry baked oatmeal for breakfast next week that I'm really looking forward to, and next week's lunch came together MUCH more easily than the stir-fry, LMAO. It's a warm roasted vegetable pasta salad with turkey kielbasa - I just cut up my kielbasa and veggies (brussels sprouts and mushrooms; there's also squash but I bought that frozen and already cubed, and cherry tomatoes but those I left whole), tossed the veg with some olive oil and then stuck it all in the oven for about half an hour, then mixed that up with some tricolor rotini and dressed the whole thing with a splash of white balsamic vinegar.

Glad to be back and Thank you @RavenStCloud for this thread. Great support here!

It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.
