    Comments: Excited to keep losing! I know my weight will probably go up since my period is approaching, but I am so close to being at my lowest weight! I got to 127.8 in grad school a while back (using MFP because at that time had reached 145 again. Long time user over here, lol), and now I'm only a fifth of a pound away from my lowest weight since I was probably 12! (I remember in high school when I gave blood I was already at 140).

    Anyone have good yoga video recommendations? I saw Tom Holland's lip sync battle and felt so amazed by all the awesome things he could do that I want to move beyond/just add to dumbbell routine and work on whole-body exercises. Can't afford an actual class, but I can watch some YouTube vids!

    Challenge Start Weight: 142.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal: 135.0 lbs

    Week 1: 139.3 lbs
    Week 2: 140.5 lbs
    Week 3: 142.4 lbs
    Week 4: 141.1 lbs
    Week 5: 140.5 lbs

    I actually worked out Monday - Friday last week. WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!

    I lifted on Monday and Thursday and the other days I did the stationary bike, a ran and I did the stair master and sauna on Friday.

    I haven’t let the Halloween candy takeover...not yet at least. It may be because I’m seeing the scale hover around 140 and I truly want to get down to 130. Tomorrow we are doing trunk or treat at church and that will be our final candy engagement 👍🏾

    Oh! I tried brussel sprouts and what do you know.....I like them. I’ll probably go get my veggies this weekend .... all the greens. I’ve been intentional about eating them as of late.

    That’s all I’ve got. Have a great week!

    Positive thought for the week: Half of the semester is over.

    Grueling schedule continued, with minimum time for self-care. Weight is the least of my priorities right now.

    I share your sentiments on your positive thought for the week. If I hear “what can I do to bring up my grade”...one more time, I’m going to implode!

    Positive thought for the week: I am so glad Halloween is done! Now, on to the holidays! I am still chalking up the weight gain to the steroids. All done now and back on track. I need to find the motivation to get to the gym in the mornings, evenings are just never going to happen I think. I miss exercise and I don't feel good when not moving.
