@Elle_Marie_Fit
Yes the small losses add up over time. I used the 52/52 Challenge in 2016 and 2017 but never got to -52 (I lost 37 & 43). NOW I’m only four pounds away from my GW.
My first three years on WW (2013-2015)” I lost 60,32,16. The one thing I’m determined to never do is Quit eating healthy and exercise. I know what happens when I quit!4 -
Keep up the great work everyone!

One of the hardest things is staying with all the hard work when the Scale doesn’t move. BUT persistence and trying to figure out what works best pays off!

Just back from a 10 day cruise. Had a wonderful time Lots of great food and adult beverages. Will weigh in tomorrow to see the damage. Lesson learned: wear the tight dress on day 1 or 2 because by day 8-10 it doesn't fit nearly as well.
As I look over everyone's success over the past 2 weeks, I feel encouraged that the pounds I put on will come off again quickly. Great job everyone! I love reading your success for my inspiration.
I completed the C25K before the vacation. Now to get back on track for my first 5k on 3/31!1 -

Going more deeper into my diet changes. Enjoying the wholemeal bread, rice, etc. Eating a lot more vegetables,
eating more fruit, enjoying more fish in my diet. I got deeper motivation this week from watching a couple
of obese programs where people lost weight. Watching them sweat, cry, be in pain helps me realize I'm not the only person in the world who has done this.
I'm feeling stronger and more determined every week.

I'm not keto but probably having 60-80 grams of carbs a day. Just protein, veg, Greek yogurt for breakfast and no potato, rice, bread, alcohol, snacks or junk food at all. I feel fantastic. I am very determined. I was under my calorie goal for 8 days straight. That is a record for me. 4 -

This week's loss: 4.6
Total weight lost: 8.5
This week's successes: Lost what I had gained the week before and then some more, a lot more! I ate really well this week and stayed within my calories. Daily Yoga with Adriene
This week's challenges: I wasn't able to be really active, I had a bad tooth ache a day and now I'm on antibiotics. I'm also having allergies and it rained all week end (which never happens by where I live) -> biking in the rain isn't super ideal...So not great exercise-wise.
I'm gonna visit my parents in Paris for a week starting on Wednesday! Yey! I was extra good this week because I know next week is going to be tough. I'll get to see all my childhood friends :-) And I have to work so I won't be able to be super active... but I'll do my best. Will weigh in a little late next week. Hoping I can minimize the damage.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!

It could be the weight training...after you work out, muscles fill with water to aid in recovery. Try not to officially weigh in after a weight training workout...wait a day or so and drink your water!5 -
