    You wanna know what's annoying? I'm done eating for the day, but MFP won't let me complete my entry, because it says I haven't eaten enough. I get that I haven't eaten enough-- I'm 230 pounds and I want to not be! But I'm not starving myself, and I want to go to bed so I don't eat the box of See's candy that my husband has in the refrigerator. Let me mark my day complete, MFP!

    As long as you're satisfied with what you're eating and not feeling deprived, you might have to just add something to the diary (even if you're not eating it) to put you over the calories. Or, if you're so under your calorie goal, treat yourself to a little something ~ if you can't have a little "guiltless sin" now and again (and stay within your budget), you're bound to feel frustrated and give up altogether.

    lol! Well, I did have a little slice of chocolate cake at a party last night! I wouldn't say it was guiltless, but it sure did taste good! :)

    Have a great day!

    Well I lost 2.4 lbs. I was hoping for 4 my 1st week but I'll accept any loss.

    2.4 pounds is a great loss! Keep it up!

    GW 6/15/17: 186.0
    UGW: approx. 156.0 (based on inital goal body fat of 23%)
    Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all of my food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts.

    1/5/17: 213.0, -3.0
    1/12/17: 211.2, -1.8
    1/19/17: 209.6, -1.6

    Challenge Loss: -6.4 (23.6 to go! Seems very doable :) )

    My eight year old has been sick, so I had a lot of interrupted sleep and much more sedentary time than normal (snuggle time). I worked to keep my eating in check and get in four solid workouts. This upcoming week I plan to get in at least 5 solid workouts, continue with my logging and eating plan, and focus on getting in more daily activity (increase daily step count). I also have a Polar H7 arriving soon, so I will be sure to be tracking my workouts better in MFP (I do keep a separate workout log but that more tracks sets, reps and weights).

    No weight loss this week. Have been eating Paleo since the New Year. Trying to make this a lifestyle instead of a weight loss diet. This week I may have explored Paleo treats and desserts too much. I've attempted to be accurate with my diet and exercise diary entries but I'm still on the learning curve.
    I was under my calorie count each day but didn't lose. I have the utmost faith that the MFP plan will work with more practice with the system. Next week will be better.

    1/1 - 198
    1/7 - 187
    1/13- 184
    1/20 - 184
    Total loss so far - 14 pounds (1 pound short of the weight of my bowling ball)

    You lost so much weight in the beginning that it was bound to even out some. You're doing great! My weight loss has slowed down a lot this week, too-- we just have to stick with it!

    This has been a rough week for me . I was in Hawaii last week and I did great and for some reason I have been flondering since I got back .
    I'll weigh in again tomorrow and get back on track. I'm so mad at myself that I lost self control. I wish I could figure out why I get so overwhelmed by travel

    Thursday weigh in -- still on track. No one else can tell, but my pants fit better, and some already really need a belt! Celebrated last night with a sashimi and edamame dinner. Long run this week was 45 minutes - hoping to finish a 50 minute run later today.

    Weigh-In Day for me!

    Challenge SW: 12/29/16: 216.0
    CGW 6/15/17: 186.0
    UGW: approx. 156.0 (based on initial goal body fat of 23%)
    Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all of my food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. This past week I averaged 129g of protein per day and 30 grams of fiber. My goal is 130g of protein each day and 25g of fiber.

    1/5/17: 213.0, -3.0
    1/12/17: 211.2, -1.8
    1/19/17: 209.6, -1.6
    1/26/17: 208.4, -1.2

    Challenge Loss: -7.6 (22.4 to go! Still seems very doable :) ) If I can maintain a 1.2 pound a week weight loss, I would be super happy with that and will meet the 30 pound challenge goal.

    This past week, my five year old has been sick (last week was my eight year old). More interrupted sleep after I never recovered from the sleep disruptions last week. I absolutely need to get my sleeping habits back in order. I worked to keep my eating in check and got in five solid workouts. This upcoming week I plan to get in at least 5 solid workouts again, continue with my logging and eating plan, and focus on getting in more daily activity (increase daily step count - this was a fail this last week). Also, my Polar H7 arrived which I love for kettlebell workouts - I don't have to worry about smashing anything on my wrist. It has also kept me accountable in tracking my workouts.

    It's not my weigh in day, but I still thought I'd check in. I'm doing ok, I'm on track to lose 2 pounds this week, so if I don't binge over the weekend, I should be good.

    Here's my first world problem of the week: My boss told me that I have to dress in costume for this team building exercise we're doing next month-- it's one of those murder mystery dinner things, like a real life version of Clue. We have to dress in a roaring 20's theme. I ordered my dress and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm terrified I'm going to look hideous in it. I'm going to be dressed as a flapper with two other (skinny size 2) girls. I don't want to be labeled as the DUFF. I told my boss it was going to be nothing but water and Ex Lax for the next two weeks and he didn't think I was very funny. He's clearly never seen Mean Girls.

    I guess my life is pretty good if this is the only thing I have to complain about!

    Hi everyone, I am up for the 30 pound goal for sure! This was my first week and so far I've lost nothing on the scale but feel good (although a bit frustrated). Any tips for me?
