    Seems like as the weeks go on, and we get closer to summer a lot of people have stopped posting. For those of us still going strong, great job. Those who are struggling, tomorrow is a new day <3 . You are lapping everyone still on the couch. A month to go until SUMMER! I would love to finally be in the 170's. Leaving the 180's has been a huge battle for some reason.

    5/28 169.8 Thrilled!! Noticeably stronger & trimmer (tape measure) as I step up calories & exercise distance & weights. I was really nervous about slowing my weight loss rate, but it’s definitely working & helping. It feels like slowing a fast moving train- it took some extra effort to pull on the brakes & adjust them just right— now the train is still moving just at half speed & it’s more effortless now. Yay!

    You can do this. Don't get discouraged. Be careful, and even if you don't make the 20 pound challenge, know that every day you work on it you are getting better at it. You are going in the right direction. The 20 pounds will be gone at some point, and then you can keep working on the next goal!

    I really love your approach. Be aware of the rate of loss so you stay healthy and lose the RIGHT kind of mass, that adipose kind. I've slowed my loss down too, but I've slowed it a little more than I want. Do I care? Well, honestly, yes, but I remind myself that it's still the right direction!

    @mtaratoot Yes! I keep telling myself: “It’s mot a race!” In fact, plateaus and ups & downs on the scale, I can see now, were really good training for the rest of my life, ie, maintenance!

    @daloverlyme
    I am so sorry for your loss & am sending healing thoughts to you.

    Please learn from my mistake: I retreated into food and complete sedentary lifestyle after a tragedy struck our family. It really negatively effected my longterm health.

    What I wish I had been told:
    Grieving is both emotional AND physical. You will need more calories - eat at maintenance level until things rebalance.

    Strolls in the neighborhood or at work 1-3 times a day will actually make you feel better & release endorphins to help lift your spirits.

    Finally, the BEST advice I got was to talk to them out loud when the grief surged. I thought it was a ridiculous idea until I tried it one day on my commute. I learned that talking for less than a minute— usually mostly “I love you & I’ve always loved you & I will always love you” would clear my tears & I’d be moving forward again.

    I will be thinking of you.

    I've hit a wall as far as motivation so this challenge sounds like a good way to stay accountable! My goal weight is anywhere in the 120s. I lost 25 pounds in about 4 months but then the weight loss just stopped. That made me loose my motivation as well. I find myself overeating a lot but don't have issues when it comes to exercise. Wish I could switch back on the drive I had a few months ago! Right now I'm stuck at 143.

    5/28 169.8 Thrilled!! Noticeably stronger & trimmer (tape measure) as I step up calories & exercise distance & weights. I was really nervous about slowing my weight loss rate, but it’s definitely working & helping. It feels like slowing a fast moving train- it took some extra effort to pull on the brakes & adjust them just right— now the train is still moving just at half speed & it’s more effortless now. Yay!
