    I did lose a pound this week, but I'm feeling less motivated. I'm planning meals ahead to stay on track, hoping not to backslide.

    That is always one of the biggest challenges. For whatever reason lack of motivation can creep up and and as you mention we will back slide or fight very hard not to. I hope you regain your motivation! Just take a look at how far you have come no matter if it's a 5 lb loss or 50 lb loss. All progress is good and even small bits here and there add up to the larger end goal! Don't give up and just post back if you need a kick in the pants to keep going!

    9/11: 171.2
    9/17: 168.7
    9/26: 171.8
    10/3: 170.6
    10/10: 169.4

    Well, I am certainly not where I wanted to be at this part of the challenge, but it is what it is. I have been doing really well with my eating the past several days. I hope to keep with it. I am leaving for another business trip on Friday. I probably should not be doing a challenge this fall, but doing this helps me keep from completely going off the rails. :wink: Not sure if I will have access to a scale at the hotel. I like to weigh in once a week. I tried doing the daily weigh in, and it just messed with my head. Tracking right now is writing down what I eat and making sure I drink tons of water and exercise 30 mins a day. Even the MFP calorie counting was starting to make me feel too obsessed. I just want to fit into my clothes again!

    No loss this week, but I feel good about this week ahead. I think sometimes my body needs some extra convincing to let go of those pounds! :)

    Looks like pound every week sometimes every 2 weeks.What is your sodium intake looking like? You could be suffering from the notorious bloat. Maybe less sodium or more water?

    Well, I am still lower than where I was when I started! LOL

    I was in London for 10 days: 7 for work, 3 for travel. Also was TOM while I was there + plane travel. I am surprised that it was not worse. I walked a ton. Back at it now that I am home... just trying to get the water, veggies and 30 mins of exercise in every day. Two more business trips this year and then a break!

    17/10 - 161lbs
    24/10 - ?????
    31/10 - 165lbs

    No excuses - half term... Eaten like a piggy!

    I very much doubt 9 / 10lb!! Is going to drop in two weeks but I'll continue to log.
    Feeling disappointed this morn but it was expected... Ive been dreading the weigh in! Although that didn't motivate me to exercise or stop eating crap.... Now I feel crap.

    Today is a new day - Taking inspiration from thatusernameis alreadytaken - I'm going to join the November group and give it my all.

    Don't get discouraged! It is definitely not easy somedays for sure. I have been struggling for a few years now and I am finally seeing some progress. I always had a horrible time with my appetite. It was like once I started eating I just could NOT stop. I finally found that lowering my carbs was a huge help. I still have my moments but not as often and it's usually just hormone related if you get my drift. That is the hardest part and the part that always kept me at a stall. I would lose a few pounds then gain right back during "that" time. Then by the time I lost it again it was hormone time again .

    I can't seem to get a good string of days together. Up two pounds, down two pounds. Now we have entered pumpkin spice season, my favorite season. :s

    One more week of this challenge, yes? How is everyone doing?
