This is not my weigh in day, I will do that on Saturday. I have been out of the loop for for about 4 weeks now, between the flu, travel for work, and travel for myself I haven't had time or desire to log on and be accountable. Despite all that I haven't gone up in weight - I haven't gone down in weight either, but I am holding steady! I am back on the wagon and ready to continue this change in my life!
Hope everyone is doing well and having great success!

Week 12 - Better late than never (this was due on Monday)

Starting weight: 226.4
Goal weight: 175
Last week weight: 213.6
This week weight: 215.9
This week: 2.30 GAIN temporary
Total weight loss: 10.5

This week's successes:
A second week in a row with a gain – but again I am OK with this as weight loss is not linear and I had five boss days in Key West. This weight is my Monday weight – which is my weigh in day. Today the scale showed 213.8. I am slowly shedding the impact of heat, restaurant food, not enough water and driving for seven hours on Sunday. I am almost not feeling water bloat.

Checking on last week’s challenges:
The challenge for this last week was the trip to Key West. My companions were food and wine connoisseurs. I can recommend several restaurants: Blackfin, Michaels, and Louie’s backyard for dinners; for breakfast Croissant du France and Firefly. Walked constantly. Too cool for us Floridians to swim. I tried to make good choices and overall I did better than usual.

This week’s challenges:

• Log everyday – everything. I lost it on the trip.
• Log water – need to make sure I get enough. Last week I did not.
• 1000 stairs.
• Get back to work. I have been off for most of two weeks. I need to focus professionally.

Bye bye Key West

2017 52/52 Challenge, 3/30 week 13.
SW: 231.2
Goal weight: 186
Current weight: 221
Challenge WL YTD: 10.2

Total weight lost since 1/2013: 155

This week's successes: NONE! Gained 3#. I have been eating too much PB and crackers and not balanced meals. Got lazy on meal preparing and paid the price. Hopefully some of gain is sodium related and I'll see how much I can "flush out" in the next week.

Next week's challenge: Get back on track with eating balanced lunch and dinner meals. Drink lots of H2O and put the PB on a shelf for a while. (All the crackers are GONE!)

Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
Goal weight: 155 lbs
Current weight: 201.5 lbs
Total Weight Loss so far: 24.9 lbs

This week's successes: Walked 4 times this week, including Monday after my Boot Camp workout session - my fitness is improving!!

This week's challenges: The weather is getting colder which makes eating well and exercising a lot harder for me. Next week, I will start walking in the mornings which I am hoping will help.

I did a one day cleansing fast to get back on track after a chaotic weekend. I have a birthday party to attend Saturday but I think I can eat clean (Paleo) for the rest of the week. I’m really liking Paleo and can feel the difference when I don’t eat clean. However, I’m not going to beat myself up on the few occasions I jump off the wagon for things like birthday parties or enjoying a dinner with Non-Paleo (normal) friends.

I have been away for about a month....but am restarting again. I will be posting regularly on Sunday's again. The up side, I have maintained my weight (fluxuating from 192-194.4 since I left).

I'm starting back with diet and exercise and hope to be back to the 1# a week loss.

Week 13:

Challenge starting weight: 230 lbs
Goal weight: 178 lbs
Current weight: 215 lbs
Weight lost this week: 0 lbs
Total challenge weight lost:15 lbs

This week's successes: I didn't gain weight! I know, that's not saying much, but I have been good - I just did not lose any weight. Ugh!

This week's challenges: Not one pound lost! How disappointing. I really need to get to the gym more, but it is spring break and there are lots of kids at the gym. I lose interest if I have to wait between my my machines.

This week success: so i managed to get off that plateau, if you can call it one. i dont know how i managed to lose that much weight this week, but i dont think its that healthy. I want to lose slower so it stays off. i started to do 100 squats a day... its deadly

Week13
Well, BOO on me. I haven't posted here in a few weeks. I'm still cruising along, with the exception of fatigue causing my workout frequency to drop off.

Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 122g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. Workouts consisting of kettlebells and lifting. I also try to incorporate HIIT and Tabata as well.

3/23/17: 195.2, -1.4
3/30/17: 193.6, -1.6

Challenge Loss: -22.4 (43% of the way there and 29.6 to go!).

This past week's challenge: Traveling husband, a terrible migraine, eating out last weekend since we were out of town for my son's basketball tournament and TOM. This was also the first week since I've started on my fitness/weightloss/lifestyle journey where I missed my protein target for the week, which may explain why I have felt so hungry lately. Working on correcting that! I also had a hard time getting my workouts in, but I did get in two solid workouts and had some very active days.

This past week's successes: I certainly didn't eat perfectly, but I logged 99% of everything. I have been better taking my vitamins, but just need to make sure that I take them every.single.day.

My upcoming week: My husband is still out of town. Story of my life lately. I am still really tired and haven't worked out as much as I would like. I don't think I'm sleeping well. I need to examine my sleep habits and get this straightened out. I'm tempted to by a newer Fitbit for this reason. I have a Fitbit One, and while it is very accurate in terms of steps, I think I may benefit from better sleep monitoring. If addressing vitamins and sleep doesn't help, I'm going to up my calories I eat each day by maybe 100-150 cals to see if that helps. When I calculate my TDEE as compared to my Fitbit burn vs what I eat + my losses, it seems I burn an extra 200ish cals per day, causing my losses to be more than expected. I'm logging very accurately, so I don't think I have a food logging issue. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm tired of being tired.

Weekly Weigh-in

Starting weight: 230.6
Goal weight: 150
Progress to date: 17.4 pounds lost

Weigh-ins:
1/3: 230.6
2/1: 222.0 (month’s loss)
3/1: 216.0 (month’s loss)
3/3: 217.6
3/10: 215.2
3/17: 216.8
3/31: 213.2

0.4. Not great, but it was a loss. My monthly weight losses are slowing. 8.6 in January, 6 in February, 2.8 in March. Nothing to panic over yet, but it might just be time to kick up the exercise.

Averaging 1.1 ppw, so I'm still on the 52/52 track.

Seem to be stuck without any loss for a few weeks now - sigh! - weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear. Repeat after me........

This week's successes: stayed on track even though no changes. Remind myself that even though I haven't lost for a few weeks, I have lost 13 lbs.

This week's challenges: hanging in there without getting frustrated with no weight loss

Total Weight lost 5 lbs.

Was trying to set up a challenge to walk 5000 steps a day ( I know that isn't a lot, but it was a starting point.) , but I don't think I did it correctly, so I'll do that on Fitbit site and work on weight loss here.

Week weight loss: 2
Total weight lost: 12lbs

This week's successes: Somehow losing 2 pounds. Ate well but three days of alcohol and only one day of exercise.

This week's challenges: Trying to work out weight loss v wellness and how to achieve both. Previous 2 weeks I've failed to lose despite no eating or drinking rubbish and plenty of exercise but feeling and looking well. This week, a little disillusioned, I've only exercised once and drank booze on 3 days. Have worked a couple of night shifts though it and I do tend to lose weight when I do. Any suggestions as to what's happening and how to better it would be appreciated.
