No not at all, I usually do the final tally at the end of the week just before setting up the new week, in case anyone forgets to update. There's always extra time.

Ugh.
Still on my TOM, going on week 3 now
. I feel pretty bloated and bummed to have gained weight.
I am also not going #2...so maybe that's weighing on the scale too, lol!
Here's to a better week, I guess
01/28: 240.8
Still TOM but the scale is finally moving down again. This is also the most I've lost in a week so I guess this is the famous whoosh people talk about?
@River_Goddess , you've inspired me a LOT this week; your macros are always on point, and that helped me stay on top of mine and I've had a great week. Thank you!
This is such a great supportive group, I am looking forward to February!0 -

Thanks, I needed to hear this today. I've had 3 really off days eating-wise... ate wayy too much keto chocolate, drank too much alcohol at a winter carnival and now that I've come down with a bad cold (and TOM), I just want to eat everything. I will weigh in tomorrow morning but I am not expecting a loss this week - due to both nature and my not-so-hot choices.
Your comment was really nice to hear and inspires me to not allow my 3-days of slack choices become 4 or 5, etc... back to the regime tomorrow!!1 -
Just a quick one to say I've posted the February Challenge and currently it's in the Discussions section but KnitOrMiss will move it up into the Announcements soon. (thanks kOm!)3

1/7 - 156.4
1/15 - 158.4
1/21 - 157.0
1/29 - 156.4
A little bummed because earlier in the week the lowest number I saw on the scale was 154.0, which would mean a nice even 20 lb loss overall. I'm determined to get there! Coming really close, but falling off the bandwagon once or twice and going beyond my carb limit really has an effect… Goal for next month is to be better about planning meals and pre-preparing so I'm not tempted! Great job this month everyone!0 -

Will weigh in on Jan 31st for a solid monthly total. To be realistic, the first 13lbs were water weight I had gained over Christmas. The other 8lbs though... that's actually new territory Thrilled to be in the 230s! 4 -
I guess stress got me this week, with Govt shut down and losing a day of pay, sick kids, and hellish OT hours.
I guess I have to work harder in February.
SW- 237.8

Is this challenge still going on. I’ve been on Keto since November and losing slow, but losing inches. A1C normal on Trulicity now and digestive system is great.
Looking for friend to go through new lifestyle change.2 -

Congrats!!! Oh my, the 230s! I am so close to it I actually considered shaving my hair off to get rid of a couple of pounds! Lol.
Hopefully I'll be there next weigh in.2 -

Ugh! I totally forgot to update, but have been weighing and chugging along!
1/21: 223
1/28: 221
Down 8 in January, which is awesome. But the biggest wins for me are definitely NSV's. I'm back to not feeling like crap after falling off the wagon during the holidays AND I snagged my bf's jacket over the weekend (he's tall and skinny so we make quite the pair lol) and I was able to comfortably zip it up!! He was pretty amused by how I nerded out over it, but seriously...I had worn it before and hadn't even tried to zip it because it was an obvious no go. Clearly the inches are moving along with the scale!3 -
That's awesome Xirena!! I know how good it feels to fit into the boyfriend's s clothes... it was a secret goal of mine haha!! (Ssshh.. I just stole his snow pants, hehehe) Great job.1
-
I am ending January at 138! I can't complain too much, I ate like total crap for 4 days on vacation this weekend. It was a lot of fun. But I am a happier person eating well. I noticed my mood and self esteem started going down by day 4 of not taking care of myself. Back to Ketoing on!!!1

Where is the February Challenge? What do I search? I can't find an updated one from this year.0

Oh and my goal is 135 by my 34th birthday which is February 13th

So bye bye January.........we have been good (on the whole) and hello February! xxxx0

I was 240.6 January 2nd when I started. Today I am 223 for a total of 17lbs lost. Hoping to see more of the same in February! I made the mistake of not taking pictures or measuring. But my clothes are fitting better and I can't wait to wear all the skinny clothes I haven't been able to wear in 5 years!4

Hi guys. I was doing good in January until we had a death in the family. The lack of food prep is what hindered me. Though some weight is back on, Im still proud of myself. Normally I go crazy and stress eat and let it get the best of me. This time it didnt. Tried my hardest not to let stress and depression get to me. This year my goal is not to quit on this weight loss journey. I cant even count how many times Ive quit in the past. That is my motivation for keeping myself accountable even when I do not want to. Happy February!!!!!!0

@PrettyGurl2008 Sorry for your loss.0

Sorry to hear about your loss, but well done staying on track (ish!) We are all in the same boat really with quitting over the years but hopefully with support for each other we will get there this time and stay there once we do.
