    Name: Deb
    Age: 44
    Height: 5' 7"

    Starting weight: 186.0 (Jan 1, 2018)
    Goal weight: 135
    Current weight: 175.6
    Total weight lost: 10.4

    This week's successes: Getting up at 4:55am each weekday to ensure I get my morning routines done. Not eating out after work or stopping for fast food despite not having any kitchen appliances for a couple days.

    This week's challenges: I didnt' get up early over the weekend. I find if I don't get up early, I don't work out. If I don't work out, I don't feel as inclined to say no to temptations. So, I had nachos and a cheeseburger at a basketball game, a cookie and a bag of movie theater popcorn on Sunday. My low weight of 173.4 on Friday crept back up to 175.6 today - salt and water gain, no doubt. I need to love doing Yoga as much as I enjoy running Couch to 5K.


    Weigh-in day: Monday

    01/02/18: 186.0

    01/22/18: 177.6

    Challenge starting weight: 259
    Current weight:238.4
    Weight loss this week: -1.4
    Challenge weight loss: 20.6lb

    This week's successes: tried some new strength training machines at the gym to vary it up
    This week's challenges: I didn't eat great, ate out a few times this week and didn't make great choices. I also had gotten away from using the food scale, and when I used it yesterday I was wayyy off. So back to the food scale it is!

    Cruise is in 3 weeks exactly, would love to bust it out these next 3 weeks so I can relax and enjoy the cruise!
    I also tried new machines at the gym. It’s easy to get stuck in a routine that you like. I have started deadlifts, squats and a few others. I really think it has helped me turn things around.

    Welcome to the Challenge! Never too late to start getting healthy.

    @Fabybie
    Be PROUD of what you did in January! 25# is s lot!
    My 2013 SW was 376#, I’m 70 years old and lost half my SW over the last five years. The most important thing is to KEEP TRYING. You will be in the 300s soon!

    This week's successes: I decided on better lunch ideas and came up with a weekly menu to make things easier (it costs more, but better for me). Instead of just going by my daily deficit, I decided to track my weekly deficit as well - it seems to help on days where I know I'll eat over my goal (lunch meeting at work for example) but I know I can still meet my deficit over the 7 day period. I've been hard on myself on days where I eat over my calorie goal, but now I just know I really can do better without feeling like I've wasted an entire week of work.

    Totally agree with you with the weekly deficit. If I got daily, i will never “catch up” the calories I went over on a night out, vs if I go weekly, i can ne extra good on food and workout more the days before and after a splurge without feeling like I’m not on plan.
    Hope it works for you!
