Successes/struggles: last week was really hard chocolate was everywhere, but what do you expect in Hershey PA. Lol. It going to be real hard for me to lose anymore weight I hurt my knee on sunday. Dr. Said most likely tore something but probably not my ACL so thats good but wont know until Monday's MRI. so I only have diet left in my tool bag for know.
OH NO! I hope things start to feel better soon but maybe this can be extra motivation to focus all your efforts on your diet and can still see amazing changes. Good luck and let us know what the MRI says.0 -
I think my weight loss was due to a good BM, I was pinched with calipers to identify what type of weight I lost and 1.2 was water! Poop!
Struggles: NUTS!! I think I need to avoid nuts this week!! This is going to be my challenge!2 -

Four pounds down, that's great! I hope your knee injury is minor. I tore my acl several years ago. It was hell, but, I started weight training to work around it, and ended up stronger than I've ever been. It's something to think about, if your knee keeps you down for awhile. I was in the gym with crutches, but could do a lot of upper body.
Thanks for your tips on protein. I will try them this week. I've been drinking the ghastly shakes and just can't take it anymore.0 -
weight loss challenge
Struggles/successes: was away for 3 days so didn't have the opportunity to snack or pick. Made my own breakfast and lunches. Didn't buy any junk! Didn't have an opportunity to late night snack. So... That's my issue! I knew this now I see the results I have to stay on track to keep losing! Went to bed feeling hungry though but pushed trough it. I did eat enough calories during the day so it's a bad habit I need to kick! STORY OF MY LIFE
Wow, great work jtkatch!0 -

Only 2 weeks left before the end goal!! Really have to focus.

Struggles: I k ow my problem!!
1- eating too many calories at the afternoon snack
Solution- plan a high protein snack to feel satisfied and satietied (a chocolate protein shake)
2- mindless picking on cashews thinking one/two won't make a difference BUT THEY DO bc I am eating more than one or two.
Solution- no snacking on nuts unless I portion them out and log them
Way off from my goal but at least realizing things and moving in the right direction.....very very slowly2 -

Struggles/successes:
Gained a pound in a month. I'm working on building muscle, so don't want a huge calorie deficit, but I'd like to lose just a couple more lbs of fat. I eat my exercise calories, so maybe that's the problem. Or maybe it's the beer I drink 2x a week. I'll give up the beer, and eat half my exercise calories, and see what happens this week. On the positive side, I'm still lifting heavy twice a week, and am getting stronger. 0 -

Successes/struggles: I finally figured out I needed to up my cardio to keep losing weight. I do weight training as well so I was losing inches still but I also want to get to my goal weight. Upping my cardio is helping a ton this week as well. Last week at Disneyland is what helped me figure it out. Seriously, they should have something called the Disneyland diet. My pants all fit me a lot looser after all that walking, even with only losing 1.4 pounds (I'm pretty sure I lost nothing the previous week).1 -

Successes/struggles: I'm going to have to work really hard this week to meet my goal for this challenge. 2 lbs left!! All my size 2's are fitting easily at this point, and I tried on a pair of hand me down size 0 jeans that my sister gave me forever ago and they fit but were a little snug. I don't think I've ever fit into them so it was exciting.0 -

Success/struggles:
Did really well on not eating after dinner and I have been sleeping like a champ too. Coincidence? But I did kinda have an unstructured weekend to semi washout the results I was feeling going into it on Friday morning. I will be well short of my goal next week but this six weeks has put me on a much better path/routine with my diet. Thank everyone in the "six week challenge" for kick starting what I think is a good streak of dropping some weight.0 -

Successes/struggles: I wasn't able to weigh this morning since we were on a little trip and I always weigh more in the evening since I've eaten and I drink a ton throughout the day. However, the last two days I weighed 122.8 and 123.2 when I woke up in the morning, so I'm counting that I've reached my goal of 123.0 since they average out to 123.0
. I did a lot to reach my goal. I've been eating about 1200 calories a day, making sure to burn at least 500 'move' calories every day, and a lot of exercising (both weights and cardio). My ultimate goal is 115 and I am thinking about upping my calories and losing at a slower rate to get to that. I feel a little more irritable at 1200 calories, but if I can keep up with the same amount of weight loss I will get to it in 4 weeks so it is hard to give that up. I gain most of my extra weight in my butt and thighs and they are going to be the biggest target of the next few weeks. My top half looks the best it ever has since having kids, but my bottom half still has some serious work that needs to be done. I'm focusing on making it as toned as possible while losing the last few pounds. Thanks for this challenge. I would not have been as motivated without it! Great job to all of you. I read through all the results and was really impressed. 1 -
