I’m Jill. 🥰
I’ve just turned 54, I’m 5’7” and I live in Michigan. My hubby and I have 2 kids in college… my son is graduating in May and my daughter is a freshman. Both kids will be home for Spring Break so I look forward to a full house.
My goals for March:
🧹Spring clean workout
📝 Continue to log consistently
🐶Puppy-proof the house for our upcoming furry baby
🥗 Continue the high-protein, lower carb, lower fat plan
January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
February weight lost: 5 pounds
March goal: 2 pounds… stretch goal 3 pounds
☘️March☘️
1—212.4 Happy First Day of March!
2—214.0 let’s just say that crackers got the better of me yesterday. Today has been better.
3—211.6. 🌷
4—211.4 picked up my daughter from college yesterday for Spring Break and the drive that typically takes an hour and forty-five minutes took 4 hours! #Blizzard ‘23
5–210.9 🌷
6–210.3 🌷
7–211.2
8–209.6 🌷 not much sleep last night with a teething puppy, but Nova and I took a Power Nap this morning…and after seeing this beautiful number on the scale, who could be cranky? Not me!
9–210.1
10–210.8
11–210.8…my son and daughter have been home spending time with Nova on their spring break. It has been so nice hanging out with them. I’ve been taking a break from logging and the scale is starting a slow creep, so it’s time to get back to basics.

Friday, the 10th
Logged: Up until a point.
Under: Nope, not at all.
Water: 10 cups, I think.
Exercise: Yes, I went for a 33 minute walk in the snow!!
Steps: 9,777
I went to the grocery store hungry. Yes, I did know better, but I was out "my foods"! Naturally, I bought some things I shouldn't have, and then I ate them, of course! I was out of calories by 4 pm! My husband went curling, so I was home alone. Not starving by any means, but I got into the chips I bought for him, and then it became a free-for-all. Had it not been the case, I would have walked around my house to get to 10K steps, but I had already blown the day. Up a pound on the scales. Today is a new day.

Hi!
My name is Andi and I currently live in Illinois.
I’d love to be a part of this Group.
My starting weight was 235.
I dropped to 229.8 in February, and will weigh again on March 20th. I can share with you my habits and trials and successes.
My current challenge is to stop snacking after 6:00pm, because my blood glucose goes up.
I’m also trying to log my exercise and establish a routine of stretching, walking, and resistance training.
My ideal body weight is 150.
I’ve been trying to do this for a decade or more.
The lowest I’ve reached is 180.
Looking forward to meeting new people!!!1 -
Saturday, the 11th
Logged: Yes, but not until the end of the day after I had already eaten everything.....not recommended!
Under: Yes, barely. It turned out to be a yes this morning, by 5 calories, but last night when I went to bed it was a no by 24 calories!
Water: Yes, 12 cups
Exercise: No, just stayed in and did things around the house.
Steps: 9,371

Sunday, the 12th

Water: 6 cups
Steps: 7,871
Our son and his girlfriend came for dinner. Hadn't spent quality time with them since the holidays.

Back to it today. Wanted to get out for a hike today but my son is home from school feeling poorly. Roll on the warm weather to kill all the bugs 🙏

Back to lucky number 17 again. Going to stay focused. I WILL GET TO 216 by the end of the week! ❤️❤️0 -
At the moment I'd love to be in the 200s, but eventually I will be aiming towards that 200 goal so I thought it would be good to join this challenge!
My name is Eddie, I'm 29, and I really struggle with my mental health. In the past this has meant binge eating on fast food as I had little to no energy to deal with food prep.
March goals:
No fast food
Eat regular meals
Lose ~10lbs
Highest weight: 366lbs
Start Weight: 358.3lbs
March Beginning: 358.3lbs
March Current: 346.1lbs
Half way through March and already beat my 10lb target!

I "forgot" but I suspect deep down I was concerned about the results of the pizza!

Wow Eddie, you’re already doing so well. Slow and steady wins the race. I’m a binge eater also. I found that eliminating alcohol helped me. It wasn’t so much a calorie thing but a will power thing. Nothing goes better with a cold beer than a giant bag of crisps or a pizza 🫣At the moment I'd love to be in the 200s, but eventually I will be aiming towards that 200 goal so I thought it would be good to join this challenge!
