Hello everyone!
Huango- I feel your pain! Hope your break week was helpful!
Syreina- congrats on your engagement!
This week has been good! I’ve been getting in the fall mood and doing lots of cooking (some things healthier than others). Fell off the wagon on Friday with Halloween treats for an outdoor movie party, but still saw a loss today and am back on track. Hope everyone enjoys the first week of October!

I started a new diet plan. I gained 5 pounds on it ! LOL. BUT, it's mostly likely water and my digestive system carrying extra weight (if you know what i mean.)
I'm still positive about the whole thing, and hope to lose that 5 and continue moving on down to my goal weight. My new eating plan is actually sustainable - something my previous plan wasn't. So I WANT to make it work.5 -

Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)
6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.
8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA!
8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA!
8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!
9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.
9/20/2018 - 208.5 - Missed last week's weigh in. Up a bit today - eating too much some days, still. Need more discipline! Weights going up - so that's a positive.
9/27/2018 - 205 - welcome to the roller coaster. Maintaining in the 204-210 range for several months now. I'm going to restrict calories for a few weeks to see if I can get a slow, steady loss going.
10/4/2018 - 204 - YAY! Lowered my calorie target to 2000 per day. A bit of a struggle some days. Will try this for six weeks and see if I can get to Onederland.3 -

GW 140 by end of yr, UGW 130-135
8/9/18 166
8/23/18 163 (- 3 lbs in 2 weeks)
8/30/18 161 (- 2 lbs in 1 week)
9/6/18 160 (-1 lb)
9/13/18 158 (-2 lbs)
9/20/18 157 (-1 lb)
9/27/18 155 (-2 lbs)
10/4/18 153.5 (-1.5 lbs)
The constant hunger and cravings seem to be getting better, for now. I am walking 2 miles per day for 3-4 days/week, on top of my daily exercise, and added a high intense 5 minute squat routine a few times a week as well. All the hard work is paying off! I could definitely eat healthier, as in my food choices but as long as I continue to keep my portions under control it should be ok. Maybe one day I will eat all whole foods, like I want to do. 3 -

SW 119.4 - 7/15/2018
lowest weight 113.2 - 10/2016
GW#1 108.9
GW#2 99
I should reach my GW#1 by mid-December, and
I would like to maintain through the Holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE).
GW#2 will be the next Challenge.
I am focusing on reducing body fat, shaping my booty, and achieving 8 pullups (current max is 7).
My workouts: weight-training, yoga, and volunteer farming.
Calories: ~1200-1500
Appreciate all help.
Thanks.
The No Late Night Snack Challenge is really helping me this time.
I used to blow all the good/hard work at night when I'd aimlessly eat hundreds of calories.
But my current streak of no LNS is 4 days this month, and counting.3 -

As of October 5th I have lost 20 pounds! Slow going, but it finally got here! Super excited for this win. September was rough, so I'm happy to be seeing progress the first week of October. If I keep this up I can still hit my goal of 160 by December. Thank you to therapy for helping me work through some unhealthy mindsets that have been hindering my personal growth. I may have missed my September goal by 2.5 pounds BUT I broke through some major mental barriers. Yay!

Hi everyone,
Week went pretty well. I’ve bumped up my exercise for a new challenge I’m doing, but I’ve been snacking a bit more too. Staying in my calorie range (or pretty close), but on the high end. Not a ton of movement on the scale this week, but determined to stick it out and try to decrease the snacking next week (especially the sweets). Hope everyone has a good week!

Geez - I feel like I wasted almost an entire month. I got to my lowest weight so far on 9/13 - it was 159. Finally I'm back there today. I started a new eating plan - and it was kind of clunky getting started ! But I think I have it now. Aside from monthly water weight gain - I should be good to continue going down. (I hope.)4

I don't think it was a waste. You have to try different approaches to see what works for you. Call it a lesson. Congrats on getting back to your lowest weight!

What @alterdsteve175 said! I just had a few weeks of unexpected gains that I think I've got back under control. Specifically:

Hi! I’d love to join your challenge! I was a locally competitive runner but got sidelined with autoimmune disease and am just getting back to running and trying to get back to a more comfortable weight for me. I’m about 144 now and would like to lose 8-10 lbs by the end of the year. I have to relearn how to work the body I have now since the things I used to do to keep weight off aren’t options currently and I have some emotional soothing with food to rethink.
Starting weight (10 years ago):155
Lowest ever (when I was running):133
Current (10/10/18) 144

My plan for this week is meal prep. I will take Sunday to prepare my lunches and make a meal plan for my dinners and get all the necessary items needed to eat healthy for the coming week.
For exercise I will walk and bike around the neighborhood.4 -

Hi everyone! Well my plan for Sunday didn’t work out as planned. I did go shopping, but I didn’t get home in time to make dinner. All is not lost I still have everything thing I need for the week to plan meals. I’m always on the go in the morning, never getting up in time to make a good breakfast. When I am eating mindful and healthy I usually eat 2 boiled eggs and a banana for breakfast on the go. Does anyone have any tips or ideas for a different breakfast on the go?0

Do you need something to eat on your trip to work? I keep protein bars around for that.
If you want something warm, check the recipe threads for overnight oats. Made in a slow cooker or instant pot and ready to go when you get up.
