π Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. π
I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In the first 9 months, I lost 40 pounds and use this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress betterπ
Pick how you want to weigh as in lbs kgβs or stones
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:
March Start Weight:
March Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:
March 1:
March 8:
March 15:
March 22:
March 29:
March 31:
For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
Itβs not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!π
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! ππ

Hiya, last month was my first full month back on MFP after reaching my goal, then regaining 26lbs in a year.
Losing weight is hard, gaining weight is far too easy. This time I'm not quitting as soon as I get there, this is for life!
F42, 5'4"
Highest weight 180.8 June '21
January End Weight: 157.6
February End Weight: 152.8
March Start Weight: 151.4
March Goal Weight: 148.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: 140.0
Ultimate Ultimate Goal Weight: 122.4
Trend weights are 7 day moving averages
March 1: 151.4 (trend 153.5) Starting the month with a 1.4lb drop overnight, so I have used yesterday's weight of 152.8 to decide my goal weight for the end of the month, giving me just under 1lb a week loss to aim for.
I'm also tracking my trend weight to help smooth out pesky water retention.

My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall.
Start Weight (from Feb 28, 2023 ): 191.6
Goal Weight: 186.6 (5 pound loss)
End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (Iβll know it when I get there!)
Weight in blue makes me blue because itβs a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itβs a loss. Weight in black means no change.
03/01-191.6[/color=fblue-(Trend Weight: 192.8)- Just as I feared. Up a full pound. It was nice touching 189.8 the other day but this is EXACTLY why I donβt claim and embrace a new decade until I reach the 7 (as in 187). The ups and downs and all arounds are enough to drive you crazy. Round and round and round we go, where weβll stop, nobody knows. Have a nice hump day everyone! Good luck this round!

I feel like the tortoise not the hare, my progress has been slow but steady. Although I continue toward my goal and have received a lot of positive reinforcement from friends/coworkers, I have noticed that I am lagging in energy/motivation lately. I continue to pay attention to what I am eating but I am not as diligent about logging or choosing healthier options as I was around the end of 2022. Work and family stressors have been high, and I am constantly trying to keep the balance without becoming too overwhelmed. Hopefully with the impending warmer weather I will become more active/motivated again but am open to any suggestions or tips for getting back on track!7 -
Going to do better this month.
