    @MissMaggieMuffin I understand that frustration with the last few pounds.

    I've been bouncing around the same +/- 3 pounds for 6 months. I'm really kind of afraid of saying "I'm in maintenance" .

    @tammierlewis - exactly that! I'm stubbornly hanging on to my goal (156) because deciding to accept my current weight feels too much like giving up!

    Hi everyone! I decided to come on over and join late. I also participate in the 'Just Give Me 10 Days...' challenge. I plugged in a few weights from MFP database so I would be able to see progress up until now.

    Name: Jenny
    Age: 35
    Height: 5' 7"

    Starting weight: 190 (December 2016)
    Goal weight: Under 145
    Current weight: 178.8
    This week's successes: Joining this challenge; increasing my level of activity as the weather gets nicer
    This week's challenges: I've been eating significantly over my daily calorie goals and it shows as an increase on the scale. I need to figure out why I am feeling hungry--I think it's because I'm missing my daily protein goal.

    1/3--180.8
    1/10--180.4
    1/17--180.4
    1/24--179.2
    1/31--179.2
    January Loss: 1.6 lbs. Started the year off right!

    2/7--182.0
    2/14--183.8
    2/21--182.4
    2/28--183.4
    February Gain: 1.4 lbs. Sick with a terrible sinus infection and then went on vacation. Oops.

    3/7--182.8
    3/14--182.2
    3/21--183.2
    3/28--181.2
    March Loss: 1.6 lbs. Back on track!

    4/4--182.2
    4/11--179.4
    4/18--179.0
    4/25--177.6
    April Loss: 4.6 lbs. Wow! I started the 'Just Give Me 10 Days' challenge and that kicked my motivation in to high gear. I also got the results of my food allergy test back and found out I am sensitive to eggs, dairy, wheat, and soy, so I changed my diet around this month. It's working!

    5"1'
    OSW: 203 (1st April 2018)
    Year end goal: 150

    Loss so far: 12.2
    This week's successes: I made good grocery choices, so even if I wanted to give in to temptation I didn't have unhealthy snacks around.
    This week's challenges: This week was a struggle -- my body wanted to plateau, and this made my mind want to cheat.

    April -- 12.2
    01/04: 203
    08/04: 201.2
    15/04: 196.4
    22/04: 192.2
    29/04: 190.8

    Progress is slowing. That's okay though, I didn't expect to whoosh forever. So long as I'm averaging about a pound a week I'll be happy.

    WK 17 (1.7)
    YTD WL (6.8)

    Week’s challenges: still wanting to eat too much

    Week’s successes: Erased 1 month of weight gain this week, walking in the morning before work and working out in the afternoon after work is working for me. Up to 80+ minutes a day, almost to where I want to be. It has been much easier to get back in the swing of exercising this year. I can tell I did not lose as much conditioning this tax season.

    Weight 04/30 184.4

    Sigh, still messing around 183-184, although I did hit 182 once in this three week period since I reported. At least I am not really gaining it back.

    If I lose a solid 5 pounds in May I will be in the 170s by June and that is my goal!

    2 very specific goals - get a pair of shoes at work to wear and take periodic walks around the building
    - set a weekly movement goal for May AND DO IT!

    I've been fighting some depression that usually leaves me when spring comes, but this has been a weird spring and still fairly cold and I think it is adding some extra burden to my mental health. I am struggling to get outside.... AND having sold my house I don't have gardening to do. I am really missing my little house and yard right now.

    Update on Spring! I met GW 3/29/18 and now posting on MFP Maintenance Challenge board now. In 2016 & 2017 I joined the 52 Pounds In 52 Weeks. I lost 37 and 43 to keep my focus on losing a Pound a Week. It adds up over time.

    Since January there has been a long hard winter. 17 weeks have passed, now we have 35 weeks of Spring-Summer-Fall to focus on getting healthier and keep going.

    My SW 376 was in 2013, joined WW.
    In 2016 I recommitted @ 268 to get below 200 at my pound a week Goal.


    Keep going!
