This week's successes: - How a week makes a difference. Went from on top of the world to really challenging
The scale was not moving at the same rate which lead to a mood change. Ended up bingeing on some chocolate on Friday night and went over my calories. On a positive, I logged everything and was still in an average of 500/day deficit. Need to trust the process.
Next week's challenges:

I went a a snowboarding trip with a bunch of friends this week. And I gained 1.2lbs. But I'm fine with that. I do think there is water weight in there, and I did stay pretty active in the snow all day.
This week's successes: I managed to keep doing my daily yoga (that I started on January 1st). I even got some of my friends to do it with me.
This week's challenges: I didn't log my calories every day. So difficult when you are not cooking for yourself. I'm sure I went over my calories, especially with all the alcohol. But I did try to remain as mindful as I could.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!5 -

Name: Lauren
Age: 35
Height: 5' 5"
Highest weight: 248
Starting weight: 248
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 248.2 (re-checking tomorrow, I had a lot of salt yesterday)

Total lost: +0.2
Last week's successes: Exercised 5/7 days, logged food most days, ate more fruits & veggies - more mindful eating overall, most days.
Last week's challenges: Staying under my calorie goal (only managed it one day), staying motivated when feeling stressed or tired. Started feeling very fatigued after 3 days of hard exercise.
This week's goals: Stay under my calorie goal every day, avoid fast food/restaurant eating, stay positive & motivated even though I didn't see any loss last week.
I tend to get derailed when I don't see immediate results, and especially when I see a gain. I'm trying hard today to stay on track and chalk up my .2 lb gain to water wait, increased muscle, or faulty scale batteries

This week weight: 196.7
This period loss gain: +2.0

This week has been very hard because I am working, working, working. I am wrapping up a job I have been at for many years and I want to leave them with as little clean up/ clutter as possible. I have spent most of my waking hours at work and that really screws up planning, exercising and eating. It's okay since it is only for one week, but it sure can influence my daily weighing. I have been on a see-saw all week. This "gain" is all overnight, so I hope to see a substantial drop next week.
This weeks successes:
Searching very hard for some positive this week.- The Amazing Race challenge. My favorite.
- I exceeded my 10K steps a day
- I got regular walks in but other than a balance video a few times no other exercise.
This weeks challenges:
Start a new job on Wednesday
Recenter my self

Current weight: 234.8 lb.
This week Lost: 2.8 lb

Name: Deb
Age: 44
Height: 5' 7"
Starting weight: 186.0
Goal weight: 135
Current weight: 180.6
Total weight lost: 5.4
This week's successes: Getting up at 5:20am Thu/Fri/Sat <--yes I said saturday! to do The Miracle Morning. What a difference this program will make. I am excited to wake up early and start my day off right. It's meditation, affirmations, visualizing, exercising, reading, and scribing - every day.
This week's challenges: Not feeling discouraged because the scale barely moved - I *know* you're not supposed to attach so many emotions to a friggin' number but still. Granted, my weekend was hard - a night of playing cards with family resulted in eating lasagna, cheesebread, and a cupcake. Eating two meals out with friends resulted in more carbs than I should be eating.
Non scale goals: Run 3 5K's and a 10k in the fall. Compete in 50 mile endurance rides on my horse.
When I reach my WL and NS goals: Buy a carbon road bike so I can FLY...(I miss riding bike; don't own one anymore)
Weigh-in day: Monday
01/02/18: 186.0
01/08/18: 181.0

I have the same problem. So decided to track other things than weight for those times where I’m putting in the work and the scale doesn’t budge. Take your measurements, track how long/fast you walk, or how many push ups and body squats you can do. That way you can always focus on something that’s going the right direction.
Keep at it, eventually, the weight with come off.

Never too late to join in! A pound a week is the Goal no matter how many weeks it takes.
@timechanging
As for cutting and pasting directions I’m a 69 yo with minimal IT technology skill but I put my finger on my iPhone screen and then hit copy and then go to new post and touch screen and select Paste.
Any millennial on here may be better to ask or explain “How To”...
