02/24-178.4-(Trend Weight: 180.2)- I skyrocketed back up early in the week due to some travel but worked at it all week to get it back down. I am thrilled to show a 1.2 lb loss this week after such a hard battle. My final weigh in for February is on leap day in just 5 days. I hope to take a stand and make a mark on my goals.

02/29-177.0-(Trend Weight: 179.5)- My lowest weight since the 2020 Pandemic shutdown! For the next couple of months I will be eyeing the 160’s and dreaming, longing and yearning for that new decade which will bring me even better health. Nice round everyone! The final count is a 4.6 loss for me in February. I will continue to make a 4 lb loss my monthly goal as I would love to lose 4 pounds a month even on the months when it just seems my body has a different idea. So any progress is very good and I am very happy to end with a loss that met my goal. It’s rare.

03/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- No weigh Friday as I get up extra early to get grandson ready for the bus. I only weigh later if I lay back down but today I can’t. Also I take my once-per-week Fosamax on this day with 8 oz of water upon waking. Yesterday was a good clean eating day but hardly any movement or exercise so my calorie burn overall was very low. Today will probably not allow me much better. One of the new windows was put in yesterday in the bedroom and floor in bath was prepped for new sub=flooring. A flurry of activity here. Well, my friends, Its a new month. Time to “March” into better health and a more optimal weight (for most of us). Let’s go!

I will weigh in on Saturdays and also on the first and last day of each month to get a monthly tally for myself. My weight swings back & forth a lot, mostly due to self-sabotage when I start doing well. However, I have managed to lose approximately 20 pounds since July of 2023. I expect the loss will begin to slow down a bit, but I am feeling pretty strong and confident that I can reach my goal in 2024.

03/02-178.0-(Trend Weight: 179.3)- I’m not sure why the uptick from my Feb 29th weight since I had a very good day but I’m not surprised after such a big whoosh the day before. Likely my body is readjusting and settling in to a new comfortable place. I’ve just got to trust the process and keep my eye on the ball. For me that would be getting under 174.2. When I do that, it will be my lowest weight in 17 years. After that, my next mini goal would be to enter into the 160’s. But, hey, one thing at a time, right? Let’s CRUSH this month and show March who’s boss!

I change my workout plan this week from working each major body part 3x per week to 2x per week and balanced out the days as some went for 90 minutes. I also was slacking on the chest exercise day so I put that back in.

Over the course of February I added more Core and Stretch exercise and will continue.

Treadmill goal is a minimum of 30 minutes up to 45 minute daily, except Sunday.

@Walela617 ~ I think i have the same scale as you and your numbers aren't bad at all and you're making progress. I have to say at my weight vs yours, I'm really surprised it still has you at a metabolic age of 68! Mine is 70 and my number don't even compare.
