Being a food/restaurant critic sounds like Dream job...except it you are trying to lose weight
What type restaurant are you reviewing?
@Jimb376mfp
It was a brewpub kind of place. The food was terrible except the veggie nachos, so I actually probably stayed in my calorie count. I haven't logged it yet.

I already made this my 2018 goal! I think a pound a week on average is an achievable number.
Starting at 210 in January, goal by end of 2018 would be 158. Current weight 3/2 = 202. It doesn't feel like much progress, but I'm down 8 pounds in 8 weeks, so I'm off to a good start! by the end of the year, this will be a very big difference!4 -

This week's successes: Not much, I kind of took a head dive off the deep end. It started last Friday when I thought I was going to have one extra treat day (staying with in maintenance mind you), then it turned into almost the whole week of being at or over calories everyday. Then yesterday happened and I was let go from my job which I have had for the last 14 years... so I consoled myself with a large chocolate cake.... and some libations..
This week's challenges: See above
Next steps for me: I think I need to up my calories to a half pound loss per week. I just need more I think. I hope that you will still allow me to log here and still be a part of this for my own accountability.

@catherineg3
Welcome aboard! A pound a week sounded doable to me in 2016, I lost 37#
Tried again on 2017, Lost 43#. That -80# got me under 200 and now I’m one pound away from my WW GW!
The small losses have added up for me over the past five years to s minus 191#1 -
@dlionsmane Sorry for your struggle with job loss. The weight loss struggle is tough enough when everything is going well! Stress/emotional eating is the WW topic this week.
As for changing you personal WL goals that is up to you. Do what you need to do, many on here (myself included) find losing a pound a week a true CHALLENGE!
Good luck to you in both in job search and getting healthier!1 -

I believe its muscle gain instead of weight gain. Flogged my body since last saturday with exercise, at clean and within calories.. except Wednesday, but even then I was still under calories.
This week's challenges: Stay strong and push forward, Im now stronger than I was back in January. This stupid plateau wont be the death of me.0 -

This week’s successes: Strange as it may seem, I counted WW points and tracked here as well. The result was eating MORE food to match my level of activity especially on days 90 minute exercise days that included weight lifting. Continued with the gallon a day water.
Next week’s challenges:
*continue this momentum

Every month my hard work goes out the window because of TOM. Something has got to give! It's so annoying and frustrating. There has to be a way to combat this.

Your almost at goal
@grammaJacquie
your doing well
Well I got up to a smiling scale and b/s better than it has been since I started diabetese
0 -
@FaithIt365...this, too, shall pass. Maybe mark on calendar for the week before so that you will be prepared for the gain. Also, cut sodium/starches down and increase water. Probably won’t stop the gain, but may minimize it some. Just a thought...2

I changed my weigh-in day to Friday. I usually eat a little more on Friday and it shows up as a false water weight gain on Saturday.
Previous week's successes: I've started taking the Sport classes at my Kettlebell Club. The Sport classes are more focussed on weight lifting/swings that are used in competition. It was a change but I loved it. The classes work on 4 week cycles and the class at the end of the 4 weeks is set up like a mini-competition.

This week's successes: I'm back to being able to eat my normal stuff without having tooth pain - plus I'm finally getting good, consistent sleep everyday.
This week's challenges: I'm not too worried about the lack of weight loss this week, but still a little disappointed. Got into a fender bender (as a passenger), everyone was okay but it shook me up for a few days. Our front bumper is ruined, plus our transmission is going out (not due to accident) so I may have to start taking the bus to work everyday. I'll have to get up 2 hours earlier, and get home about the same time. Ugh. I'm worried it's going to mess with my diet and exercise routines.1/6/18: 263.8
