    Happy Monday!

    (I'm 5'7") I am considering upping my calorie intake, as I'm realizing I'm losing weight faster than my goal. But, this week I'm going on a work trip for 3 days plus a family trip tacked on for 2 days, so I'll probably be eating over my goals anyway :D

    I'm in! my main goal will be to lose a little bit of weight and then MAINTAIN - I am most concerned about not letting the scale go back UP with Halloween candy, Thanksgiving treats and Christmas party goodies coming up on the horizon.

    Starting Weight: 151 lbs
    Current Weight: 125 lbs
    Goal Weight: 122 lbs

    Starting Weight:152
    Current Weight:151
    Goal Weight:137

    I had a pretty bad weekend with too many carbs! Hoping the baby sleeps in in the am so I can get my workouts in first thing. I go more for moderation rather than keto or IF. If I feel deprived, I binge!

    Great job @chocolate_owl I did NOT do either of those things this past week!!! I always do better when I log.

    @sushlaing I need to work on carb reduction this week. My weekend was bad.

    @RMC1995 How long did it take you to get from 152 to 125? What did you do? That is my ultimate goal weight. I am really struggling with baby weight right now.

    Starting Weight: 140
    Current Weight: 140
    Goal Weight September 138.5 (-1.5)

    Sept. 11 -140 (was 142 yesterday so not trusting this fluctuation)
    Sept. 18 - 142.4

    For another challenge I weighed myself for 10 days straight to see fluctuation. Was down 139.6 last week. TOM and back where started. Not going to let it bother me and throw in towel.

    New goal .... Hopefully by next week back to starting at 140 :smiley:

    Hi @KellyBgetsfit It took me right around 6 months to lose the 26 pounds, but honestly I got off to a really really slow start in the beginning. I was not logging consistently AT ALL. Since June 11 I have lost 19 pounds so just over 3 months to lose almost 20 pounds. I have to say that logging EVERY SINGLE FOOD item EVERY SINGLE DAY and joining the monthly accountability chats on this group is what really kept me to my goals. I needed the extra community support and I needed to be 100% honest with myself about what I was eating. I notice that if I have a "bad day" as long as I still log I don't feel terrible - just make it up over the next few days/week to get back at it. But if I just DON'T log the foods on my bad days, I''ll find myself doing that over and over again and not making any real change. I hope that helps!

    This is my first time joining one of these. I'm thinking I may post a quick note about if I worked out each day of the week along with the weight update. I need some accountability so here it goes!

    Current 148
    Christmas Goal 140

    Workouts this week: M :/, T :/, W Cardio

    Was just thinking this morning that Christmas was exactly three months away and it could be a good short-term goal to work towards. Then saw this thread. I'll take it as a sign ;)

    I knew I wouldn't lose weight this week - I spent 12 hours on plane rides plus 12 hours in a car this week. Work trip plus family events meant I ate very differently from normal. I worked hard on trying to stay close to maintenance, and I'm pretty happy where I ended up. It's a new week
