    Is it too late for me to get in on the weightloss challenge? (I just joined this group today.)

    Never too late! Join right in. Use this week as your starting weight for the challenge and when setting your goal keep in mind that there is only 6 weeks remaining. Welcome!

    .... Sigh.... Yep. Now the good news is that I did pretty awesome with exercise. I got out to walk or run every day!

    The bad news is that there was some binge eating a few days this week. I was over my calories every day, and a few days I just gave up on tracking at a certain point because I was embarrassed.

    This week's goals: Keep up with the exercise! Yay! After the 4 peaches and 1 apple in my refrigerator are gone... no more fruit this week, and no eating between meals.

    Splurged last weekend food-wise, then injured myself on Monday so I couldn't workout for a couple days. I had gone back up to this challenge's starting weight, so I'm happy to start losing again.

    I love having to check in with you guys!

    I'm slowly feeling like I'm getting a grip on my food intake. Gotta stick with it now.

    Yay! I exercised a lot and cut calories. It made me a bit grumpy and lethargic, so I didn't kick myself too much for eating over my allotment a couple days. I'm a little bummed because I weighed in at 159.4 in the middle of the week, but I'll take 160.6 if it sticks. I only ate extra fruit twice this week which is definitely an improvement. I think I'll stick with that another week at least. I think it really helped!

    Hope you all have a productive week!

    Didn't weigh in this weekend. I was traveling with family and forgot to weigh before we left. I am hoping to eat clean, drink water and get in at least 3 solid workout during this week this week.

    Well I was hoping to lose a bit more than I did but I'm happy I had a loss. On another note I did lose 1/2 an inch off of my waist!

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I know I posted earlier this morning, but... I was a bit depressed about how I hadn't lost anything. And just now I had the realization that the capri pants I'm wearing right now were tight on me a couple months ago when I bought them. Now they fit my hips fine and are lose in the thighs. Yay for a non-scale victory! I'm feeling much better now.

    Keep going everyone! Have a great weekend!

    PS @MissMeaganLyn Congrats on getting into the 160s! Well done!

    I am happy to see the scale going down but I am always amazed at how hard it is to get weight off after vacation. I am getting back into relatively healthy eating habits but not getting in nearly enough water or exercise. The weather seems to be starting to cooperate more so hopefully this will start to change in the next few weeks and I can get back to running more regularly.

    @rebeccatherine great NSV. The scale is evil, and although I have not been able to completely rid myself of reliance to the scale to measure progress I find so much more satisfaction in victories that come from other modes of measurements whether it be inches, the way clothes fit, or being able to exercise in a way that I couldn't before. Awesome job, keep working and eventually you will see it on the scale as well.

    @MissMeaganLyn Great job on the loss (both weight and inches) you are on a great pace to hit your goal for this challenge!

    *Sigh* I knew my food was way off this week, but I exercised a ton. I was hoping it would have balanced out a bit more. I'm starting to think my body doesn't want to be under 160! This coming week will be more predictable with work so I'll be back to my regular routine. Here's to better food choices and more water!

    NSV for the week though: I hiked farther yesterday than I ever have! 16.5 miles!
