Hello everyone! This is my first time joining (and a few days late because I just found this group) and I hope this helps me keep myself accountable.
My name is Cindy, 5’3, 174lbs. I have always been aware of my weight and was at my healthiest 2016-2020. 2020-2023 I gained around 40+lbs and have struggled with trying to lose the weight. I started focusing on losing weight in Sept 2023 but have been very lenient about it. I want to spend March focusing more on my goals and make some progress. I am doing a 75 Soft Challenge also and will be using this group for tracking my goals.

I have a chronic back injury limiting how I exercise and am recovering from a sprained ankle. So I have to be creative with exercise.
My main problem is pain and emotional eating, because food fixes everything (if only)
I have made this journey many times in my life, and hope to someday make it a permanent lifestyle change. My longest run maintaining a healthy weight was 9 yrs and then my world fell apart in 2015 leading to my highest weight of 203, and I have yo yo'd the same 30-50 lbs over and over again since then.
Im tried of feeling sick and tired, my health is now being effected so it's time for a serious change.
I know what I have to do, I just need to do it and stick to it!!!!

3/03: 116.8 Yesterday was my first partial cheat day in a while so I’m pleasantly surprised I still went down.
3/04: 117.2 If I went over calories yesterday it was by a very small amount, but I did have salty foods and woke up bloated so I’m hoping the gain is just water retention!4 -

@iLive2WalkMy total weight loss since I started my fitness journey is just over 71 pounds. I’m getting close to my goal weight, which I keep changing. The BMI calculator puts the top of the ideal range at 141 pounds. I’m thinking I should lose at least five more for a buffer, so my new goal is 135, another 30 pounds (give or take a couple). But . . . . I guess I’ll know when I get there.
Congratulation on getting to your goal, and I hope you celebrate that milestone before moving the marker! I'm inspired by your consistency and hard work; thanks for sharing your journey!5 -
Jude, 66 YO, 5' 2". Highest weight 165, lowest 115. Looking to change my relationship to food to one that's healthy and sustainable.
March goals:
* broaden my scope of healthy meals to include more substantial plant based recipes
* continue to weigh/track/log as I did in Jan/Feb- it's working well for me
* this is a big birthday month- enjoy all the celebrations, keep moderation in mind!

Hello I'm Darlene. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. I found MFP in March and this group in April. Almost a year with some of these amazing people. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

🍃🪁 MARCH 🪁🍃
March 01: 156.4 😁 👣 📝 💪 💦 Busy day yesterday. For Christmas my husband makes a Daddy-Do list for Allyson. This year she wanted to convert her coat closet into a pantry. We got that done yesterday. I spent the day handing tools (kind of felt like a dental hygenist- LOL). In the down time, I helped her with her taxes. Spent most of the day there, had take-out for lunch. I did get my walk in before we went, and did a strength train session when we got home. I am tracking differently this month, so I went over my calorie limit a little if I don't count my exercise. Was happy with the scale today.
March 2: 156.8 👣 📝 🫀💦Quiet day yesterday. Made some chili for dinner, the uptick is probably sodium. Figuring out this new tracking, it is really hard to stay under without my exercise. But I'll give it a try for a week to see how things go. I was very hungry, and had a protein bar late in the day which put me over.
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪💦 Nice Saturday. Started the day with a 3 mile walk at our favorite trail. Started to sprinkle a little as we finished. It was kind of refreshing. Make a wonderful pot of chicken soup (I just love soup), and homemade bread for dinner. Cut back on the salt - it was delicious. I watched an episode of Skin Tight last night - don't ask me why - but I couldn't change the channel. It was so scary. Loose skin was/is a really big fear for me. I guess I came away feeling pretty good - as mine is NOWHERE near what they are experiencing and my hubby was wonderful - telling me I look fabulous!
March 3: 156.8 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 It was a beautiful weekend in Connecticut, warm and sunny. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. It had a very busy week - of doing nothing! Don't know where the time goes - but life is just flying by.
March 4: 156 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦Another nice day in Connecticut, got in a 4-mile walk in the morning instead of our usual 3-miles. Bingo night with Mom - and didn't munch on any of the NUMEROUS snacks that they put on the table. Didn't win (I rarely do), but a good night. Mom was in good spirits - although gets quite frustrated when she doesn't win.

@judefit18 🤣 I celebrate a little too much - that's why I am like tigger! Boing, Boing Boing. But - slowly but surely the downs are more than the ups - just keep going is the key!4

Hi All,
This is my 7th month with this group! I'm 5'2" and I've just hit my target weight of around 124 lbs. One of my goals at this point is to lose maybe 2 more pounds or so and figure out what my maintenance weight range should be. Another goal is to start running again.
Original starting weight: 160 lbs
Goal for March: 122.0 lbs ?
March 1: DNW. I'm sick! I feel terrible. I am not going to weigh or log until I feel better.
March 2: 122.6 ☘️ I logged. I was very sick yesterday and the previous day, and didn't eat very much. Today I am feeling a little bit better.
March 3: 121.8 ☘️ I logged. Well I think my weight loss is because of my sickness, and I would like to stop losing at this point. I logged yesterday and my calorie intake was a little under goal but not super low. I'm going to increase my calories a bit. I am getting better but still sick. I am looking forward to getting better and getting back to routine, getting to my March goal of exercising, and also eating more than just chicken noodle soup and juice!
March 4: 123.2 ☘️ I logged. Feeling better and I definitely have my appetite back.

Day 5
Retired, 65 years old, mother of 2, step mom to 3; 12 grandkids who are the light of my life. Born and lived in Michigan for most of it. Hit my goal in No ember of 2023 (135) but have since put back on 30. Mostly stress eating while taking care of my dying 89 year old Mom who lives 75 miles away. She's now in assisted living and on hospice so I can go back to being a daughter who visits and prayers with her regularly, instead of a caregiver. This gives me time to work on my balance.
GW: 135 by June 1
2# per week
Using high protein, low carb, low fat diet. Protein shakes are being substituted for breakfast and added to mid day. Having trouble consuming 1200 calories per day.
3/1. 165
3/2. 165

Didn't do as good yesterday as I'd hoped. My Fitbit died, so I have no idea if I reached my step goal. I visited mom and in our unusually warm March day (it hit 70 degrees!) I pushed her in the wheelchair all around her facility so we could see what they had available for her over the time she has left. So hard. 😢. We pray a lot. We cry a lot but mostly we talk and get closer and closer over these last days, weeks, months. Giving myself grace for the days I don't hit all my goals.6 -
