    Total weight loss/gain to date this month: + 0.4 pounds

    This is a pretty big swing for me for a week (+ 3 pounds). I never fully committed to my diet after travel. However, I really need to get this back under control as we're set to travel for the weekend and then in a couple more weeks.

    March 29: 227.50 I didn't use a yoyo much when I was a kid, but seem to be doing a lot of it as an adult! Having said that, I yoyoed a lot in my 240's and 230's then settled in so I'm hoping it's my way of stabilizing! :)

    Maybe you could just give the $20 to the non-profit and skip the burger? Or find someone to share it with?
    Do you have a food scale? If not, treat yourself to one. A digital one that weighs in grams can be found for twenty bucks. Then when you put your dinners together, you can track the ingredients. It's actually pretty easy, and then you can eat many wonderful things, but just not too much of them.

    I go out to dinner with family as a treat each year to enjoy burger month. Yes I could skip it but we're suppose to be able to enjoy life. This is times that I can enjoy the offerings of our great restaurants. I also donate to charities without eating food. I have a digital scale and know how to use it. I've just fallen off track a bit that's all. Enjoyed food a bit too much....during the cold & ugly winter/spring it's a comfort. Warm weather is coming so I'm not worried. Thanks.

    Female, 6 ft.
    [MFP Highest Weight: (8/2018): 268]
    [MFP Restart Weight: (8/30/22): 243.4]

    March Start Weight: 212 lbs
    March Goal Weight: 208 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 199


    March 6: 210.6 (-1.4 lbs)
    March 18: 208.8 (-1.8 lbs)
    March 22: 207.8 (-1 lb)
    March 31: 208.6 (+0.8)

    March Total Loss: -3.4 lbs***

    So close to my goal weight of 199. I can't even claim water weight. According to my height, 6ft. I need to be at 184, I hopefully will figure it out. MFP gets a lot of flack, but it definitely works, 268 to 208.6. Almost 60 pounds.

    My name is Donna. I am 62 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Start Weight (from Feb 28, 2023 ): 191.6
    Goal Weight: 186.6 (5 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Weight: Unknown due to medical issues
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    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)-

    03/08-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.7)-

    03/15-188.8-(Trend Weight: 191.0)-

    03/22-188.2-(Trend Weight: 190.1)- It’s been a very hard week as my blood pressure has dropped too low. I’ve been afraid to exercise as it raises during then severely drops under normal circumstances and with it running on average about 81/41 that could be deadly! I stopped one of my bp meds until I see an improvement. It has come up slightly. If I don’t see a return to normal soon, and the ability to take my meds again I will have to call the cardiologist which is very far away. So my diet has stayed on point but my exercise is null and that is really slowing things down. It makes a bigger difference than I even realized! I am thrilled with the improvement in my trend weight. It is a reflection of my dietary changes and I just couldn’t be happier. I am down several pounds this month. I don’t think I’ll meet my goal because of the lack of exercise which, in the end will affect the second half of the month, but I am still losing a little and the trajectory is good. I love seeing all the progress and comments in this challenge!

    03/29-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I am still struggling with some health issues. Bloated due to the inability to take my water pill prescribed for my heart condition. Abstaining from weighing until my bp issues are settled and I can properly take my meds and exercise again. Supporting all of you in your personal efforts and goals! You are doing great! Keep moving forward toward those dreams!

    03/31-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I guess April will have to be a re-do of March for me due to my medical issues. But I’m not giving up! Moving forward. Finally no travel today. Sticking to plan, babysitting DGS and pre-logging food for the day. Staying hopeful.


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
