No weight loss to report but I am impressed I have stayed within my calorie goal and exceeded my activity goal! After falling off the wagon for quite a few months it's not so easy!

So, I decided to weigh in a day early. I wanted to see how my eating matched up with my January results.

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 132g of protein per day and 32g 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
2/1/2017 206.8, -1.6

Challenge Loss: -9.2 (20.8 to go!)

My sleep has been a challenge, but I think I finally feel caught up and back on track (my sleep schedule got totally out of wack when my two littles were sick). Thankfully, everyone in the household is healthy and I'm hoping it stays that way for the rest of the winter. #knockonwood.

Four workouts in the past six days. I noticed I've become pretty fatigued lately, both in terms of energy and and muscle fatigue, so I'm trying to make sure that I don't burn out with my workouts and have adequate rest days.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress!

Keep up the great work everyone!

(I changed my profile pic. The one I had before was from 2011 and I was 20 pounds lighter. No sense in having an inaccurate picture up there.)

I haven't lost any weight this week, either. After so many good weeks, it's frustrating to not lose anything. But we just have to stay strong, and stay within our calorie range, and exercise more. Believe in the program, and it WILL work! You can do it!

I plan on posting a progression photo when I'm down 20 pounds... hopefully before the end of the month! But I'll just post it here or on my profile page.... the selfie thread is too stuff filled with beautiful people, and I'm not ready for that yet!

Weigh-in day for me today. I had ortho-shoulder surgery last Thursday. Believe it or not I gained about 11 pounds of water weight from the IV during surgery. I was in the restroom every two hours for about three days getting rid of all that water. I was bummed out after surgery when I stepped on the scales, but each day I felt better as I lost pounds of water each day. I don't recommend surgery as a way to go about a net loss of 2 pounds in a week, but know that at least in my case surgey/IV yields major short term water weigh gain.

I had an awesome day at work today! My team got 100% on an audit! I celebrated with a brownie and a vodka tonic. Hello, sabotage! Now I'm going to have to work twice as hard this weekend!

Last week I lamented a rotten day with beer! Went way over the limits, and cut back 100 calories a day last week. Lost two pounds!

I'm 35 (I'll be 36 in March) and I NEED this 30-lb weight-loss challenge! I've lost around 30 pounds (in the past) but I need to lose exactly 30 more! I've been stuck not losing pass the 30-lbs marker. Maybe this group can help me make that change. I'm in!!

Starting weight: 239 lbs 1/2/17
Goal weight: 209 lbs by 6/15
Current weight: 221.5
weight loss to date: 17.5
Weight loss method: low fat, low sugar, low calorie, logging everything I eat.... and TRYING to lay off the alcohol.

1.5 pounds this week... this is truly miracle weight loss, because as of Friday I hadn't lost anything. I'm not sure what went wrong this week-- I still logged everything, I still made healthy choices. I must have been retaining water or something during the first half of the week.

But the weight loss has definitely slowed down, so I have to incorporate exercise into my day. I found a very basic walking video online. It's 25 minutes long, and it's very low impact. I've only done it once so far, but it was completely achievable. I figured it was a good way to ease my way in to an exercise routine. Better than nothing!

I don't expect to lose any weight in the next week-- I'm going to a week-long conference for work and they tend to stuff you full of food while you're there. I'll be happy if I don't gain!

Have a great week!
