    Week 1 - 226.4 down 2 lbs since this started. Yeay. :) This week was tough. I started over. Joined a gym and really made a decision not to stick to the plan.

    Week 2 - 226 down 3lbs overall and 0.4 this week. I'm still happy. Sticking to the plan.

    Week 3 - 227 It's a marathon not a sprint. I'll do better this week.

    Week 4 - 226.4
    Week 5 - 227

    Week 6 - 225.5 // it's been a good week. I'm feeling good. No NSVs yet but hopefully by the end of this week I'll start seeing some evidence.

    Week 7 - 223.8 // I can't believe it's nearing the end. I'm so surprised and proud of myself.

    After 4 weeks you're supposed to start seeing changes to you body.
    After 8 weeks friends should see
    After 12 weeks everyone else.

    I will log on Thursdays
    Week 0 - 219.2 lbs (31/5/18)
    Week 1 - 219.2 lbs (07/06/18)
    Week 2 - 215.8 lbs (14/06/18)
    Week 3 - 214.2 lbs (21/06/18)
    Week 4 - 212.0 lbs (28/06/18)
    "After 4 weeks you're supposed to start seeing changes to you body."
    I kinda of feel a little different, but I still just have so much to lose, so not really - although I feel less bloated and my clothes are fitting differently - again! Very happy with my progress so far.

    Week 5 - 211.8 lbs (04/07/18) ** work colleagues have been commenting all week! :smile:
    Week 6 - 211.8 lbs (12/07/18) ** my masseuse called me slim :lol:
    Week 7 -
    Week 8 -
    Week 9 -
    Week 10 -
    Week 11 -
    Week 12 -

    Total Challenge Loss: 7.4 lbs
    Average Loss per week: 1.5 lbs

    Week 5 reflections - my weight didn't go down much but my energy levels and activity have been skyrocketing. Every day this week at work people have been commenting on my weight loss and/or saying "you look great". It's been a real boost. I am not sure if the increased exercise since Monday is effecting the scales. Well, I think next week the weigh in will show stronger progress.

    It's helped me cope with this "plateau" as the scales aren't moving but the measuring tape is! :smile:

    "After 8 weeks friends should see"
    I am actually starting to notice some changes to my shape. I still have a long way to go, but I am feeling more confident in this whole process at the moment. The next few weeks will hopefully bring me closer to "1derland!"

    Week 8 reflections - it's taken me months to realise just how much of a long term thing this is. You can't measure in days, and often not even weeks. But looking at a month by month trend I am starting to realise how much hard work and dedication is needed, but the reward is worth it. I need to weigh and log everything. It's that "simple". That's the recipe for success.

    Two more weeks left in this challenge. After one month (July) of planned increased carbs (in season fruits) I had not expected to lose any weight. I lost almost 4lbs! No more fruit after today, in order to bring my carb grams back down to keto level and get as close to my goal as I can.

    @tiabirdie56 is it just you and me left? We've both done really well! You are firmly in one-der-land and I am on my way there! I will see the challenge out, I still have another 3 weeks to go.

    @eminater, It seems so. We have been the only two consistently posting here the entire month of July! You are doing so well. I'm so happy for you! You are
    knocking at ONEderland's door! I have 2 weeks left in this challenge, but since you have 3, I will ride this out with you😁
