    Backward trend over the weekend. I took Girl Scouts camping and did not have control over the type of food served for most meals. I will have the same challenge this weekend when I go to an astronomy camp -- fun weekends, but it is hard for me to be responsible to my personal eating and running goals when I am in a group setting with group meals and activities. 10 weeks and 16 lbs.... I can do this. Good job everyone!

    Just remember...if you're doing a lot of physical activity, it can offset some of the higher calorie meals. Don't be too hard on yourself!

    I didn't see this until now, and I'm working towards this, but it's unlikely I'll lose 15 by then. If I lose 1 a week I'll only lose 12, and I'll be surprised if everything goes that smoothly. :)

    10.3: 159.4 (-1.2)

    10.12: 160.4 (+1 lb)

    Ugh. I had a really rough week and a half that completely derailed my eating and exercise habits. I stress binged almost every day the last 7 or 8 days :( I'm hoping the scale was right and I really am only set back by 1 lb.

    Has anyone else battled stress eating while in college? I've noticed getting enough sleep helps but sometimes certain deadlines mean sleep just isn't happening for a few days and I lose control with terribly sugary foods. Any emergency life hacks for those situations?

    Instead of sugary snacks, try a protein bar. I love Oh Yeah brand (Cinnamon Roll, Lemon, & Almond Bliss are my favs). You can get them off of Amazon or health food store. They are low in sugar and carbs and have 20g protein.

    Just came back from another GS camp where I didn't have control over food and most meals were high carb -- contrary to my LCHF diet preference. I am really pleased that I didn't gain weight and managed to continue decreasing. I need to go grocery shopping and buy some more vegetables so I can make good choices and stay on track. --- Good work everyone!

    Two things that help me when I want to make bad snack choices are: 1) brushing my teeth -- I usually don't want to eat after brushing teeth, and 2) get up and move around, take a 5-10 minute break.

    Best wishes at school and weight loss.

    Thanks Percycat1 and loribh0126. I'm going to use those strategies next time I'm short on sleep and long on stress. Post midterms the semester starts picking up speed so I'm sure that'll be soon.

    Not a good week for me. I've been sick, and I think my new medication is messing with my weight. Hoping things will improve.

    Sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon!

    10.12: 160.4 (+1)

    10.17: 157.2 (-2.7 lbs)

    I'm very very suspicious of that drop. I was very conscious about not overcompensating after my difficult week because I don't want to yo-yo. A 2.7 lb loss definitely does not reflect how I've been eating and exercising.

    Time for me to get this train wreck back on track :( I've been derailed for a couple weeks & it's showing on the scale.
    SW on 8/19 162
    Current on 10/17 159
    End Goal 12/20 145 -- if I get back on track I think I can. No ~~ I KNOW I can

    keep working everyone

    Wow. I thought I had back-pedaled this week, but I guess I just held steady. That makes me feel a little better. I hoped I would be a few pounds less at this point, but then I also expected to be more responsible with my eating choices. I am snacking because it is there. I am also busting my carb limits -- when I am aiming for LCHF -- and this just makes me want to eat more carbs. We have a dinner party this week and a lot of other stressors. I'm in charge of the menu, but chose to make lasagna because it is a simple meal for a lot of people and it tastes good. After Friday, I am going to refocus on diet.

    This challenge group is getting less active--- several people have quit. KUDOS to the remaining few. We still have weeks to go and still can meet our goal. As a mini-challenge this week, I am going to go to bed by 10 and be trying to sleep by 10:30. I want to get into a good sleep habit so I can start waking up early to exercise.

    Do you have a mini- challenge for this week?
