I really want to leave the 170s behind! Tomorrow we will celebrate Easter with a huge family dinner (17 of us). Realistically, I know this dinner will be beyond my capability to resist temptation. So, I may spend a few more days in the 170s, but my goal is to finish out Mar firmly planted in the 160s.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 βοΈ 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 βοΈ 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 βοΈ I logged. Feeling better and I definitely have my appetite back.
March 5: 123.4
March 6: 123.2 βοΈ I logged
March 7: 123.2
March 8: 125.0
March 9: 123.8 βοΈ I logged
March 10: 124.2
March 11: 125.2
March 12: 125.8 βοΈ 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.
March 13: 125.6
March 14: 126.4
March 15: 127.8
March 16: 127.2
March 17: 127.0
March 18: 127.8
March 19: 126.8 βοΈ I logged
March 20: 126.4
March 21: 127.0 βοΈ I logged
March 22: 126.6 βοΈ I logged. I've been MIA, but I have been keeping up with my daily weights. The last couple weeks have been unusual for many reasons; now I'm ready to get back to it and get back to my goal weight. Logging was skimpy and my weight's been all over the place; so my goal for the rest of March is to just log daily. Forget the original goal of 122; I just need to log daily and get back to the goal zone.

3/23: 115.0 I accidentally made a smoothie that was too thick this morning and turned it into a smoothie bowl with granola and I will definitely be adding this to my go-tos! I've been adding a little bit of vanilla protein powder to my smoothies/overnight oats and it adds so much sweetness. I genuinely never thought I would ever crave and enjoy stereotypically healthy foods!2 -

03/22-180.6-(Trend Weight 180.1)- I am totally shocked to see no change on the scale. Typically I can fluctuate quite a bit from day to day on both good days and bad. Yesterday was an excellent eating day. I came in under 1200 calories with low carb, fat and sodium. That usually shows up on the scale. Oh well, I guess it is what it is. Perhaps only getting 3 hours of broken sleep contributed. Tomorrow I travel about 2 hours round trip for DGS #5 birthday party. He is turning 5. A pool party at a hotel with food, cake, ice cream and all the trappings. That wonβt help my cause but it will be nice to have the whole family together. We will not be able to have Easter together due to my renovation going on. Most of their homes are just not large enough. We will probably reschedule something when the renovation is over. Hopefully by sometime in May. We have a snow blizzard today. Expecting up to 6 inches of snow. Schools are cancelled. Happy Spring everyone!

3/21: 115.8 Iβm happy to see this number again! But in just a few hours I start my weekend and they havenβt been going well for me. I just get so burned out on eating healthy(even if I like the meals) and having calories on my mind all day. Itβs exhausting and when the weekend hits I just want to relax and not think about anything, but itβs 3 days so it adds up. I donβt think I go wild, but I definitely crave variety and eat salty things. I wonder if having 1 all out cheat day would work or if you have to be a bodybuilder to earn those. π If anyone does cheat days let me know how they work for you!
One strategy I've read about is to increase the deficit a little on the weekdays, so that you can allow more calories on the weekends. That way it's more of a weekly calorie goal that fits the flow of your week. For me, I can almost never log on Sundays. Our Sundays are filled with meals that I do not prepare, plus I want to relax and not log as it is. Every now and then I do log on a Sunday, and I think that helps me to keep in check. It helps me on the Sundays I don't log, to realize; "ok I had a big brunch already and then a lot of heavy lunch food with dessert; I probably don't need dinner."

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!!!!

March starting weight: 156.8
ππͺ MARCH πͺπMarch 01: 156.4 π π£ π πͺ π¦ 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.Mar 22: 153π£ π π₯ π«π¦ Got back on track today. In my Biggest Loser Challenge someone shared an article on Intermittent Fasting (which I have kind of been doing). It was kind of scary. Then another suggested a protein snack later at night. I am going to start doing that. I often wake up hungry and usually just suffer through it. Giving up that eight hour window and adding a healthy snack before bedtime might help. The key will be to remember to save room in the calories during the day. Didn't get my outside walk in, the wind was just crazy yesterday - combined with the cold make for a yucky day. Spent my exercise on the treadmill - binge watching Call the Midwife. Here is the article if anyone wants to read. Mar 23: 153.4 π£ π π₯π«π¦ A little scare yesterday. On Wednesday Monty got his hair-cut. At the very end of the cut he had diarrhea and they couldn't finish his grooming (he goes back tomorrow). We started out on our walk, and Monty went to do his business and there was blood in his stool. Took the sample and stopped at the vet on the way home. Luckily they could get him in right away - nothing appeared abnormal - but they put him on antibotics and probiotics. On a Chicken and Rice diet for the next few days. If things don't improve we'll need to bring him back for more testing - hoping it is just another case of upset tummy.
March 2: 156.8 π£ π π«π¦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 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ 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 4: 156.8 π£ π π₯π«π¦ 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 5: 156 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦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.
March 6: 155.6 π π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ I gave myself a smile for the weight loss, but it was a sad day. A colleague from my old work place passed away. Heart attack at 50; he was one of those that you just had to love. Quirky, a wonderful sense of humor, treated everyone with respect, hardworking, and was so appreciative of anything you did for him. He will be missed on this earth by all who knew him.
March 7: 155.4 π π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ Don't know where the day went yesterday - just flew by. We got our outside walk in before the raindrops, which was nice. Then before I knew it the day was over. Life is just "March"ing by and I'm try to catch up. Today I will focus on what I am doing instead of letting life just plass me buy.
March 8: 154.8 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦ 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 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦
Mar 10: 154.2 ππ£ π π₯π«π¦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: 154.2π π₯ πͺ π¦ 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 π£ π π₯π«π¦ 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 π£ π π₯ πͺ π¦ 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 π£ π π₯π«π¦ There is that number again! π Got our seedlings planted yesterday. Beautiful weather - hope it stays for a long time!
Mar 15: 154.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Tough day yesterday - hit the chips in the afternoon - but pulled myself together and ended the day strong. Had a light dinner instead of what I had planned to make it under - but nutritionally not the best day.
Mar 16: 154.2 π£ π π₯π« π¦ And there it is again!
Mar 17: ππ153.2 π£ π π₯ πͺπ¦ Happy Saint Patrick's Day! And there was the woosh I was looking for. I didn't do anything different - so I guess the persistance just finally paid off. Did take a hike in a new place. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles.
Mar 18: 153π π£ π π₯ π§ββοΈ π«π¦ Just another quiet day at home - took a walk in AM and hung around the house the rest of the day. I have been on a motivation roll lately and it shows on the scale. I have tracked and stayed under my calorie range every day in March. I wondered why - then it hit me. I haven't had any social situations in March. No out to dinner, no parties, no trips, even missed Bingo a couple weeks. Just plain day to day life - kind of boring - but I'll take it this month. I got in a yoga workout yesterday (not my favorite) and a 10 minute cardio.This was a fun one that someone on my Biggest Loser Team suggested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTTXIqUbJMMar 19: 154.2 π£ π₯ πͺ π¦ Salty day, over on my calorie goal, brownie at Bingo put me back to that number again. Today will be a hard day - going to a funeral this morning; my best friend's sister passed away so will be away all day. Going to jump on the treadmill before we go, but getting my step goal may be a stretch today.
Mar 20: 153.4 π£ π π₯π«π¦ Got home earlier than we thought, so we took a nice 3 mile walk down the Airline Trail - Monty was happy. Had lunch at the funeral and made some good and some not so good choices. The dinner side was the good - a small piece of chicken, a small piece of roast beef (they were swimming in sauce), about a 1/4 cup of rice and the salad. BUT the dessert - I did take a half slice of carrot cake. Drank a lot of water - and had a light dinner at home. Was happy to see a decrease today.
Mar 21: 154 π£ π πͺ π¦Tough day yesterday. Even though I met my step goal, it was all inside. Monty went for a grooming so was away all morning - we thought we would go when he got home. But, he was so nervous from the grooming that he had diarrhea so we didn't go. Then we got subway for dinner, not a bad thing - just salty. But then I guess that wasn't as satifying as a good piece of protein and some veggies because when I went to be I was hungry. Couldn't sleep because my tummy was grumbling. Got up and ate, and not good things. I'm still on track for my weekly calorie goal - but need to rail it in to meet it.
Mar 24: 153.8 π£ π π₯ π«π¦ A yucky rainy day yesterday. Cleaned the house, spent time on the treadmill, made a salty soup.

3/23: 115.0 I accidentally made a smoothie that was too thick this morning and turned it into a smoothie bowl with granola and I will definitely be adding this to my go-tos! I've been adding a little bit of vanilla protein powder to my smoothies/overnight oats and it adds so much sweetness. I genuinely never thought I would ever crave and enjoy stereotypically healthy foods!
3/24: 115.4 A little bump, but I did have some soup last night and finish the last of my takeout. My knee was hurting yesterday so I might do one more day of no squats/lunges to make sure it's all better.
@andreajlnhe - Weekly vs. Daily is a great idea and it might work well for me! My weekdays typically end up below calories anyways so if I lean into that it might allow me to relax my mind a bit on the weekend. That you for your insightful idea!5 -

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!!!!
March goals:
Continue slow and steady lifestyle changes....
