    Weight lost/gained this week: -03lbs and -0.2% Body Fat
    Total Weigh Lost/Gained: -7.6lbs and -1.4% Body Fat

    I was terrible the week before last and gained almost 5lbs (so much for a 2lb loss goal). I'm happy that I got back to where I was on the 27th. I could kick myself knowing if I could lose that much this week I could have done it the week before too and would be at 152lb (a new record low) right now. Hopefully I can stay on track this week.

    Jennifer you are doing good, 16.3 pound total loss is great you are now in Wonderland. Below 200 that is fabulous!
    I hope I can soon join you, just can't seem to move off the 204.8. I hurt my foot and have not been able to walk my 3 to 4 miles a day. It makes a difference. Hang in there- We Can Do This!

    We really can do this! I took the time to remember where I was when I started this challenge and thanks to you and others on here I am now healthier than I have been in years. A big step for me is that for the past 2 weeks I have been craving chocolate and went to the bulk barn today and bought only two small dark chocolate wafers. That would have never crossed my mind 12 weeks ago. Thank you Izzy for starting this challenge. God bless :)

    Thank you Jennifermi for you kind words and you have been inspiration to me. This morning I am down to 201.1!
    I have had a stomach bug, but I hope that I can keep moving down the scale. My goal was to be at 199 by 9/18.
    I think I can make it. We are going on vacation soon and I know I will probably gain back a few pounds, I will try hard not to.
    The 15th will be the end of my first 12 weeks, I am not stopping. I will move in to the second 12 weeks with
    enthusiasm because of everyone here and your support. I have a goal to meet by mid November when I have a recheck with my doctor. I started the challenge to be an on going challenge so everyone could join in at anytime.
    We all know that weight loss is an on going challenge with most of us and even when we reach our goals.

    Congrats on your 10 lbs Izzy!!!!! In another 12 weeks if you continue at the same rate, you'll be down almost 10%. Not too shabby :) And that is something to be proud of!!!!

    Sometimes I feel like we get so wrapped up in the day to day, week to week- that we forget to look at the big picture.

    Thanks and I agree. I know what I need to do to get to where I need to be and I will keep going until I arrive at my goal. I have lost 31 pounds sense I started in 2014. I know that's not setting any records, but for me its feels good.

    Have you reached a weight loss plateau?

    Stop and reflect — and make sure that you're not going overboard with portions. Going back to strict measuring and planning can help confirm that you're not unknowingly going off plan. Also try mixing up your routines. If you have been eating eggs every morning, try having fruit/veggie smoothies or oatmeal. The same goes for exercise, switch it out. EDH

    Good Sunday Morning
    Its a cool beautiful day here and I am feeling like getting outside for a nice long walk. My energy is coming back after several days of a stomach bug. I am still not back to normal, but much better. Well, I have 5 days to lose a few more pounds before my 12 week goal. I am hoping to get back on track and start eating more normally and enjoy a good salad. It has been quite on this thread this weekend and I hope everyone is doing well. Its Sunday and a great day for family, enjoy.

    Is it possible to hit a plateau then suddenly start losing weight again?? I lost ten pounds then didn't lose anything for about three months and now I am again

    @gabriele01 Congratulations for hitting your 100 miles this month.
    I got my Serengeti Award on Fitbit on 26th August and it really gave me a boost. I have walked 500 miles since March this year.

    I had major hip surgery on 4th September so haven't weighed myself this week as I have quite a lot of swelling and water retention issues. I will repost in a week or two when things stabilise a bit more.
