...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

I had my long awaited physical today. My goal was 15 lbs but I only lost 6. Still, the dr gave me big props and encouragement to keep at it. My cholesterol was a bit high so all the more reason to keep eating as well as I can, and walking.7

I’m 5’6”. 46 yrs old and I’m tired of saying “I’ll start tomorrow”. Years and years later I’m still saying tomorrow. I need to stop saying tomorrow and start today. Hoping this challenge will help me on that path.9 -

i am 5’ 9 This was last month,
SW MFP 2/01/22- 154.0 (Had lost 40 lbs prior to joining)
2/07/22- 154.0
2/14/22- 152.2
2/21/22-149.8
2/28/22-149.4
but this morning (on a different scale in a different house so not sure that it really counts) I weigh 150.0. I use this scale often so its pretty close to my home scale.
For March my goal is to keep to a roughly 1 lb per week loss spread over the whole month. Not necessarily showing up in week by week reports. So 145.5 or so by April fools day.
I am somehow missing my posting from last week but I bounced around between 148 and 149 all week

I'm a bit late getting in but thanks for starting this challenge!
I am a 5'4" 60 year old retiree living in upstate NY. I started back up using MFP on January 3rd but did not weigh myself for the first time until February 7th.
While I would like to try and lose 5 pounds per month, I am going away on vacation for 10 days so I believe a 10 lb goal for this challenge may be more realistic. If I do lose 15 it will be a bonus!
Feb 7: 222.2
Feb 14: 220.9 (down 1.3 this week. Not too bad considering that I splurged at a Super Bowl party.)
Feb 21: 218.8 (down another 2.1 this week. Exercised 367 minutes total last week)
Feb 28: Skip week since I was away from home
Mar 7: 216.6 (down 2.2 since Feb. 21st. I'm super excited that I was still able to lose while on vacation! I made sure to exercise every day, 381 minutes last week and 360 minutes the prior week)
Mar 14: 213.6 (down 3 lbs! Not sure how this happened since I ate only 660 calories less than the prior week but also exercised a lot less. My body must be playing catch-up?)
Mar 21: 212.1 (down 1.5 lbs. Exercised 275 minutes total)

February 1 to May 1, 2022
Round 3 for me! I think I was 149-150 at the start of this. This round I’m treating myself like a scientific Guinea pig project
using the free National Institutes of Health “Body Weight Planner”. .
Goal: reach about 126 lbs this round (-10), stay with my plant-based diet, keep using weights, and lower my cholesterol in the process.
Feb 1 - 136
Feb 7 - 135.5 (-0.5)
Feb 14 - 135 (-0.5) Guess this is ‘mode operandi’ for now. According to the NIH site I should be about 134.5. So, I’d like to lose a full pound this coming week.
Feb 21- 134 (-1) Yay! Worked hard for that one. Feb 28
Feb 28 - 133 (-1)
Total Loss for February -3
March 7 - 132.5 (- 0.5)
March 14 - 132.5 (-0)
March 21 - 132 (-0.5) Looks like a bit of a plateau. (The weight chart says I should weigh between 133.3 and 130.3, so I’ll just keep on keepin' on.)
