03/11-179.6-(Trend Weight 179.2)- Wow! Am I EVER glad that last week is over! It was a rough one in so many ways. I’m starting off this week with a day of travel to the Dentist about nearly 200 miles round trip. Not exactly a good way to start a new week, but hopefully I’ll be able to make some progress as the week goes on. My ice cream finally showed up on the scale today in spite of my objections. Phooey!
03/12-180.6-(Trend Weight 179.5)- Damn, Damn, Damn! Travel weight. No exercise. Long hours sitting. Restaurant foods for 2 meals. I’ve got my work cut out for me now but I got this!

Hey friends! My name is B - I live with my husband and two kids and work in community mental health. I've never not struggled with my weight, so I'm focusing on long term habits so I can live a longer and more active life with my family.

8 glasses of water💧
Self Care Activity 🧶
Sept weightloss: 6.7 lbs
Oct weightloss: 3.1 lbs
Nov weightloss: 2.3 lbs
Dec weightloss: 2 lbs
Jan weightloss: +1

1: 🥙💧🧶
2: 🥙💧🧶 Took the plunge and cut off about 8 inches of hair!
3: 🥙💧🧶🏃♀️
4: 🥙💧
5: 🥙💧 I meal prep everything for the week and this week I made the mistake of making a little treat that might be nice to have as an afternoon pick me up. I made macaroons. They are delicious. Chewy. Sweet. Perfect. They are 170 calories for a tiny little cookie. After 3 days of "just one more" I'm popping those suckers in the freezer. At least it will slow me down...

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!!!!

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

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 🪁🍃
Spoiler
March 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!6 -

Not good. Without a doubt my worst behavior for the year. I ate bad things at the worst times. No discipline or restraint. I'm not trolling for sympathy here. I deserve every ounce of weight gain that has shown up on the scale today and this week. I can do better.Heaviest Weight: 210 BMI 36.0

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.
March 5: 123.4
March 6: 123.2 ☘️ I logged
March 7: 123.2
March 8: 125.0
March 9: 123.8 ☘️ I logged
March 10: 124.2
March 11: 125.2
March 12: 125.8 ☘️ I logged. This is a very tough week for me to be trying to log and maintain my weight... But I'm going to have to commit to logging & hitting my calorie goal daily for the rest of the week because the number on the scale sure is gong up fast. I haven't yet decided what the lower end of my maintenance range should be, but I have decided the upper end is 124.8.

Ultimate GW: 55kg
March 1: 66.3kg
March 2: 65.8 kg
March 3: 65.7 kg (surprise surprise. Guess my run yesterday helped compensate for the heavy lunch).
March 4: 66.1 kg oops
March 5: 65.6 kg yay!
March 6: 65.5 yes! 3 kgs down from my heaviest weight in recent times !
March 7: 65.5 kg
March 8: 66.0 kg
March 9: 67.1 kg (After three heavy meals for son’s birthday celebrations yesterday). I don’t regret that, we need happy carefree days and eating on select days or else this diet / lifestyle isn’t worth having. I can revert the gains.
March 10: 66.1
March 11: DNW
March 12: 66.2
March 13: 66.5 shucks that I am now weighing more than I did at the beginning of the month, but I got nobody else to blame! I guess I should stop eating back exercise calories ? I have eaten back exercise calories today too, so tomorrow if my weight is still high then I will brace myself and stick to only the allowed calories without any grace for workouts. Plus I am supremely bloated 😬5 -

I'm so excited to be back for March- hello to everyone! 😊 I'm Kat, 32, 5'1". I have 5 cats and live in the country. I think March will be cold and windy here, but I'm happy to be moving towards warmer days.
Start Weight: 122.6 | Feb. Loss: 5.4lbs | Goal Weight: 100-110 (I'll know when I get closer and may switch to measurements)

3/12: 117.2 So the good news is that I did rally and get a good workout in. The bad news is that I saved a bunch of calories to finish some leftover takeout for dinner so even though it was technically under calories, eating a big meal before bed didn’t work out too well. This week is kicking my butt! 😆
3/13: 116.6 Back in the right direction, but still a long way to go! It’ll take this time to appreciate a small win in noticing that I’ve actually begun to enjoy some of my healthy meals, especially my breakfast overnight oats. They have been a game changer!5 -

5: 🥙💧 I meal prep everything for the week and this week I made the mistake of making a little treat that might be nice to have as an afternoon pick me up. I made macaroons. They are delicious. Chewy. Sweet. Perfect. They are 170 calories for a tiny little cookie. After 3 days of "just one more" I'm popping those suckers in the freezer. At least it will slow me down...

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!!!!

I'm struggling with the scale. I know I'm building muscle and still having trouble with my bowels. And I'm still seeing positive changes in my body, the way my clothes fit and how good I'm feeling. But the stupid scale, trying not to pay it any attention, but boy is it hard, some mornings I just want to give up, but I won't!!!!! 🙏

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 8: 154.8 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm doing the hard 75 challenge, in the challenge you are supposed to take a selfie every day. I just wanted to point out how important it is to take these on throughout your weight loss journey. I NEVER took pictures of myself. It was really hard to find a before picture. In the beginning of my journey I also didn't take any. Those around me (and myself) didn't see much difference because I've been taking it off real slow and they (and I) saw me every day. It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
Mar 9: 154.8 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦
Mar 10: 154.2 😁👣 📝 🥗🫀💦Yesterday was our monthly visit to see Greg's 90+ year old cousin. Gone most of the day - but couldn't sleep the night before so got up at 3AM and jumped on the treadmill - at least I go my steps in. We eat out - so expected a up-tick today due to the sodium and lack of water while there - but I drank it all when we got home, so think that worked. I ate a very small dinner and made it under my calorie goal.
Mar 11: 154.2📝 🥗 💪 💦 Missed my step goal, got up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep and had a snack. It has been logged - determined to work it off today (or eat light). I don't want to jeopardize my success the past week. I can do it!
Mar 12: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀💦 I'm ok with hanging out at this number - but three days is enough. Time to make it move today (in the right direction) I didn't make it to Bingo with Mom last night - started out and then about 10 miles in there was a tree that fell across the road - couldn't get past it. I live on the other side of the Connecticut River from my Mom, and there not too many bridges that cross it. The tree fell on my side of the river - so would add another 40 minutes to my already hour drive to get there. I went home!
Mar 13: 154.4 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Should have kept my mouth quiet. But I kind of figured it would go up a little. Made this delicious beef vegetable soup - and the sodium gets me every time. But I live soup and needed to clean out all the veggies in the fridge. It's temporary!
Mar 14: 154.2 👣 📝 🥗🫀 There is that number again! 😆 Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!

I salvaged a decent week from what looked like it was trending toward a gain based on my morning weigh-ins. I also did this without extended fasting, which is my usual go-to when I have several consecutive bad weigh-ins.
I need some good weigh-ins before my Dr appointment on Mar 20. Discipline, focus and purpose will be the key for the next few days.Heaviest Weight: 210 BMI 36.0
