Time for a SV & a NSV! Yesterday, my weight dropped to 50 pounds lost
In honor of that, I’m posting a photo from day 1 of my journey (late October) to this week. 
The non-scale victory? I’m wearing Birkenstocks in both photos, and they had to be tightened two notches to fit in the right photo.
Also...the pic on the right is from a date...the first I’ve had in years. I know I shouldn’t have let my weight affect my confidence so much, but it certainly did. I’m slowly but surely growing more confident in my body—imperfections and all.6 -

Unable to weigh in Wednesday as away all week. First chance was Friday morning.

Decided to give myself a maintenance week - I knew it was going to be a tough one at work, a busy one after work and a bit of a sad one after a lovely holiday last week. So I allowed myself to hover around 2,000 calories AFTER my exercise calories (walking only, didn't make it to the gym) but made an effort to drink lots of water and walk as much as I could.
Goes to show weight loss is not always about a strict diet and hours of exercise! Still, 9 pounds off wedding goal and 6 weeks to go, going to be a bit more of a push next week!4 -
Hi, hope I'm in time for this week's weight post.
I've been so busy and stressed at work this month and I have not been tracking at all.
I'm just focussing on maintaining for this month until I'm ready to go again.
Current weight 181.02 -

@emmclean You’ve got this! It’s so awesome to hear your successes, and I love how even “maintenance” weeks can be successful for weight loss after good habits and commitments are put in place. Keep it up.2 -

I can move one day.And the other day I cannot.This is what is happening because of limitation.
Usually after submitting my weight on Friday,tend to eat more for the first 2-3 days.Then control again when weigh in day is near.Sorry for that.But net progress is seen.This time limiting carbs though.

@ahelgers10. Thank you. Would have done a search before closing off the week, but I did miss it when entering as I went.
Great work for the week too. It's hard to maintain a loss after such a big first week.

@craigo3154 I was wondering how your wife was doing, after you had mentioned her plans previously. I'm glad she's doing well with her new eating habits. I've been glad that my husband has been improving his eating habits too -- the more of us making these changes for the better, the better for all of us, I think! (The more the merrier!) Pass on a Gutbusters hurrah for her as well!
