    On the struggle bus this morning. Its been an amazingly stressful week. work is insane. I saw my ex for the first time in months yesterday and I am ripped apart and was not expecting that.
    BUT - I am happy to see that other people doing this challenge are having good solid losses this week. Congrats! I am truly happy for everyone! but sometimes, I can't help but compare how I am doing to what others are achieving and get discouraged /disappointed and hard on myself. I was losing 2+ a week for quite a while and now, its been so hard. I can't help but feel like I will never meet a reasonable goal, like getting to "overweight" rather than "severely obese". At this point, I'll take just plain old "obese". I know that I need to keep on keepin' on, that's what it takes, but I am not motivated to do anything. I will try.

    I'm sorry to see you had a rough week @poppigirl Trust me the struggle is the same here, seeing many of you are losing multiple pounds in a week while I'm lucky if I'm down 200 grams. I'm truly happy and super excited for the "losers" but at the same time can't help but wonder when I will achieve my goal I'm constantly hungry already lol

    @narak_lol and @poppigirl - don't give up! This is HARD! I struggled with the scale going the wrong direction for YEARS, even though I was eating relatively well (most of the time) and exercising. I lost count of how many times I gave up, gave in, and then started over again. It's so frustrating - but you can do it! A loss is still a loss, no matter how small. And there could be other NSVs that you don't readily see (clothes fitting better, more energy, even something as simple as it becoming a habit to make a healthier choice. Exercise that will power. Shake things up a bit and surprise that pesky scale - give it no choice but to give in to your efforts.

    @poppigirl ... you're almost in Onederland, you're doing awesome!

    It's been a long journey and struggle with being obese, but now I'm closer than ever to my goals! After yo-yo'ing for 4 years (+/- 40-50 lb swings), I decided enough was enough. Switched to keto, dropped from 254 to 184 in 1H'15, then maintained with a goal of under 200 for a year to get the body used to maintaining rather than swinging. I started counting calories and recently started tracking protein intake and doing heavy lifting while training for the Richmond Half in November in July.

    8/1/16: 88.8 kg
    8/8/16: 87.5 kg --- way too much ... going to get loose skin
    8/15/16: ? --- on the road
    8/22/16: 87.1 kg
    8/29/16: 86.2 kg --- This was too much ... slowing down
    9/5/16: 86 kg
    9/12/16 86 kg --- weight varying from 85.6 kg to 86.3 kg
    9/19/16 86.4 kg --- Foot injury is winning right now ...

    WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE WEEK: --- gain of 400 grams
    GOAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR TOTAL CHALLENGE: <s>3 kg</s> Did it!
    GOAL WEIGHT RANGE: 86 kg <=== Just keeping my goal will be hard enough.
    ULTIMATE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 75 to 80 kg

    Right now I have multiple issues working against me:
    - Cooler temperatures means less water loss
    - Foot injury is really slowing me down
    - Constipation ...
    - Limited support from family
    - Bad attitude about losing weight ... hopefully temporary.

    I've shifted my focus over the last couple of months to working on recomposition. My tape measurements are down and I'm seeing some definition in places I haven't before so I think it's working. That being said, it's hard training my self not to be disappointed by numbers on the scale! Perhaps this will be my last weight loss challenge for a bit while I focus on changing my aesthetic.
