oined MFP on 5/7/17 with OSW: 178
Challenge SW: 10/1: 147.4 (goal to weight 140)
10/8: 149.8 so...not a great week, was over calories for a couple of days, and alcohol/salty snacks over the weekend did not help. I am increasing my calories as I approach maintenance, and it is difficult. Back on the wagon...I am glad I can check in here and be accountable. Hope everyone had a good week!
10/15: 150.4 Bit discouraging...I have been trying to do TDEE instead of the MFP calories & eating back some of the exercise. Something is not right. So going back to what I was doing previously and seeing if I can start over with TDEE in a few weeks.
10/22: 150.0
10/29: 149.0 Things have been going a bit better since I went back to eating back exercise calories....knock on wood....I have also slacked a bit on logging, but still trying to be "mindful" about what I am eating. Kept up with bodyweight training this week; important since I have cut way back on cardio (on purpose) since the summer.
11/6 150.2
11/12 148.0 Down in weight...but still above my challenge starting weight.
11/19: 151.2
11/26: 152.6
12/3: 150.0
12/10: 150.8 Not going to complain about the .8; had a challenging week with a neck problem that left me unable to exercise the latter part of the week, so am still feeling good about the week.
12/17: 153.2 It wasn't a great week..still unable to exercise due to pain, until yesterday when I was able to go for a walk. Goes to show you can't keep eating without burning it off somehow. Am not feeling discouraged even though I won't make my goal weight. Just going to keep at it and try to have a better week.2 -

Getting in a little more cardio, but not doing well at taming my appetite. I'm a little disappointed that I have struggled as much as I have this past month. It's time to buckle down and drink more water, but these next 2 weeks will be tough.1 -

I'm still here. I haven't given up yet, although after this past week, it doesn't seem like it. I will just wait until New Year's day to do my final weigh in and then post. Y'all hang in there and let's hit it hard this last week!
