Happy Thursday Everyone,
58 YO in TN, 5'4"
My numbers seem to be a little stuck....I've not moved the scale much after my COVID bout earlier this month. BUT, I think I'm getting back to speed now and can make the scale move down with more effort. I've said this before but when I am at 192-187lbs it seems to be where I get stuck. Hoping I can Jump that hurdle by the end of the month.....Just need to track daily... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE on meeting their MARCH GOALS! My oldest son was born on St. Pattys day... So that's got to bring some luck!!

The scale moved a little more this week than it did for my last weigh-in. I'm fine with that and still hope to be under 160 by the end of March. I'm really looking forward to hitting that 70 lb loss threshold.
Have a great week!

I will weigh in a little later and post. I'm just sipping coffee and enjoying a Sunday morning.
I am now doing three programs- Noom, MFP, and now Omada. Omada is free through my insurance and my request to join finally came through. They send you a beautiful, snazzy scale.
Noom has been paid for so I'll continue that- lots of audios and I like logging food on there because they color code your choices so you can see right away how you're doing.
I love MFP for these amazing groups and community.
I think I'lll like Omada because I have a coach assigned to me.
I guess if I don't lose weight at this point, I'm my own worst enemy!!! LOL
I have lost a few pounds but it's hard because of the leg cast on me to see how much.
I am snacking much less because it's inaccessible because it's in the cupboard.8 -
2/4 200 lbs
2/11 198.8 lbs.
2/17 197.8
2/19 196.8
2/26 196.2
3/4 196.1
3/12 ??? (broken leg- cannot yet stand on the cast to weigh)
3/19 201.6 with cast and clothes on so I’d say I’m about where I was on March 4
LAST week's goals:
YES Arm weights
MAYBE Log food everyday
YES Eat more veggies!! Let's try this again.
YES. Eat more fruit!
This week’s goals:
Arm weights daily
More veggies - green ones
More fruit
Read labels for sodium content12 -

Scale moving in the right direction, but I’m worried that I’m breaking IF now frequently, and a nice stall is coming up. I don’t sleep well hungry. The daylight saving time also not helping.
This week adapting to a different schedule, probably breaking IF again at least one day 😔7 -
My name is Mary, 65 from Pennsylvania.
Been MIA for a few months but still logging in everyday since I started MFP 5/14/21. Trying to get back into the swing of posting on my threads I've been in for awhile. 668 continuous days now today in a row since I started MFP.
Unfortunately lost my mojo and gained a lot back but not all Thank God! Need to get back on track and focused. I bought a NEW to me, gently used, Commercial PreCor EFX 835 Elliptical. It was delivered the beginning of November, as others here know I wore my previous 10+ year old one out from my extensive workouts. Back up to 150 minutes on my 3 days off per week.
Good to see some familiar names here and glad to see some new ones too!

CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT (FROM January 31): 194.8
CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:
CHALLENGE TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Total Loss of 15 pounds to land at 179.8 (seems Impossible, even Laughable but a girl can dream right?)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

03/01-191.6-(Trend Weight: 192.8)-
03/06-191.2-(Trend Weight: 193.0)- It’s been a rough week. Fell off the wagon a few times going all the way back up to 194.6, but I’ve dusted myself off, back down to a better weight and I’m ready to get back to work! 180’s here I come!
03/13-189.4-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- It’s been a very good week. I really like the way the trend weight is moving too. Lots more work to do though. It’s a journey for sure!
03/21-188.6-(Trend Weight: 190.3)- I’ve changed my weigh-in day to Tuesday because I travel on Mondays for my cardiac rehab. I can change it back when I have completed the CR program. I’ve been very sick these past few days with extremely low blood pressures (Avg 81/41). No exercise or major movement here. Don’t want to push the heart too hard so there has been no calorie burn. Upside is that I’ve stuck to the diet plan so there’s that. Finally after 2 days and self-stopping my bp meds, my bp is up within range that is acceptable and I’m feeling a bit better. I may try something simple like the exercise bike today. If I could burn at least 2000 overall calories today I will be happy! My complete burn has only been 1800-1900 these past couple of days. That is what happens when you are stuck on the couch taking it easy! Otherwise, it has been a pretty good week. A lot of improvement in my trend weight because of it.
