My weight has been steady for three weeks. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm going to try changing up my diet, and add more protein, to see if that helps this week. I don't want to eat fewer calories, because I'm lifting weights, and work so hard to maintain and build muscle.3 -

Just make sure you are eatting the right protein. More plant base protein like hemp bean or soy. No insulate and whole foods. It really helped me0 -

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 LIFE2 -
I am away on vacation and was hoping I could manage a weigh in but alas not scale to be found. However I am still logging every day, staying active, and making (mostly) good food choices. I'll be back for the next Monday weigh-in so don't count me out just yet. Good work this week everyone!1

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 -

Successes/struggles: Not surprised it's not a big loss - attended a bachelorette this weekend where there was a lot of food and drinks. The weekends are always the hardest for me.
Only 2 weeks left before the end goal!! Really have to focus.

After two weeks of traveling I hope this is just me holding onto some water weight. Nonetheless, it is even more motivation to stay on top of it this week and aim for big changes by next week. My goal self challenge this week is no snacking after dinner. Kitchen closes by 8!1 -

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 -
Hi! Sorry I missed last week and am posting late this week. I was out of town last week and this week has been crazy. I did do my weigh in though!

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
