This week's success: I had such a great week with my exercise. I got up every morning at 6am and went for my walk. And, this set me up to keep moving through the day (adding in a 20 minute lunch time walk). I have hit my step goal for 8 days in a row. I also tracked and ate well this week.

This week's challenge: My sleep has been inconsistent - mainly due to my fractured rib and difficulty with lying down. I am staying up much later, and with my early mornings, I am not getting enough sleep. I need to focus on getting back into a routine of 8 hours sleep per day.

Finally seeing movement on the scale after a stall. My mindset has changed from cutting calories to "mindful" eating. Thinking more before I eat the snack. Planning meals with more thought ahead of time. My husband is also dropping weight slowly, an additional bonus. Another trip to Disney planned this week. Taking a few snacks, protein bar and nuts, really helped this week.

Total weight loss: 21.2

Weekly success:
Still under calories and meeting timeline for 52 pounds this year. Yay!
Did not get as much done at work last week as I wanted. Maybe it is Spring Fever. It's all just kinda blah. Still going to work early with the husband so I may be adjusting to the internal clock shift. I think I will keep this schedule even when we have our car back. I wish it was safe to bike. I would ride in with him in the morning and bike home.

New week challenges

• Keeping the momentum
• Declutter one room in my house.
• Be green for the week overall in calories. (Sun – Sat)
• Call Mom

Short update for me - got work waiting

How you getting on? What diet/exercise you using?

A third of the way through I thought it would be useful to find out how you're getting on and what you're doing to lose weight. We might be able to pick up tips off each other?
I'm four pounds behind schedule, which isn't insurmountable, and is due to too many treat days. I'm using MFP with Slimming World Healthy Extra principles, namely only certain amounts of dairy and wheat type products a day. I have one treat day a week (sometimes!) where I can eat and drink what I want. As I've progressed I've swapped Takeaway for Fakeaway for which I find inspiration from Slimming Eats. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week, nothing too extravagant, just work up a sweat on treadmill or bike. Also love the pool and sauna afterwards.
One thing I'm really pleased with is that this is taking no willpower and is now embedded in my shopping and cooking.

The only changes I have made have sorta been small I guess. I follow my FitBit religiously. Try to get up and move around at least every hour. I precook all of my food for the entire week on Mondays so I don't have to think about it. Just heat up and go. I'm also trying to NOT eat after 8:30pm. I want to eventually get around to 7:30pm as my latest but not quite there yet. My exercise is just walking with some occasional jogging (I'm trying to build up my endurance for now).

Starting weight on January 11th: 289.7
Current weight: 236.3
This week's loss: 2.5
Total weight loss: 53.4

This week's successes: I met the challenge goal, but hope to go far beyond before the year is finished! Managed to go to a party this weekend and stay within my calorie goal. Always asked for half a glass of wine, so I could be served with the others and still end up with only two full glasses. I took an appetizer that I knew I could eat, avoided chips and bread, stuck with radishes and the healthier dips, and took a half slice of the dessert.

Challenges: To eat light the coming week because I will be taking a break the following week.

I just realized that this is Tuesday, not Wednesday, so I posted a day early. My brain is already on break!

I missed weighing yesterday so I am posting a day late.

Starting weight: 202
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 193.8
Weekly loss: 1.8
Total weight lost: 8.2

This week's successes/non-successes: Tracked my food every day. My son-in-love graduated college on Saturday. I did pretty well at the celebration dinner afterwards but let myself fall into old habits at the party on Sunday. I got in a little exercise but not as much as I had hoped due to days when MS was affecting my legs.

This week's challenges: Celebrating my husband's and daughter-in-love's birthday this week along with Mother's day. To exercise as much as my body will allow. My goal for steps is 3500 a day. Hit it most days. I hope to soon increase my goal to 5000 steps.

I hope everyone has a great week!!

I have not posted for a while because I can't seem to get any consistent weight loss. April was up and down the same 3 lbs. so here is my stats, and I am determined to be consistent for the rest of this month(fingeres crossed)
Starting weight -182
Goal weight- 145
Current weight-158
Up 2 lbs since I last weighed in - wish me luck!!

I am at a stall. Nothing to report. No changes since last post. Sigh....discouraged

tammierlewis

I've also felt stalled for a while, but today I checked MFP from 5 weeks ago and it said I would weigh exactly what the scales said this morning. I am making progress!
