    SW (January 2): 210 lbs
    CW : 207.2 lbs
    GW for this challenge: 199.0

    The drop was very encouraging. Especially since I had been at 210 since December pre-Christmas.

    02 Jan: 210
    09 Jan: 207.2 (-2.8)
    16 Jan: 205.6 (-1.8)
    23/01?
    30/01?
    06/02?
    13/02 ?

    This close to Onederland I am very motivated. I need to drop 1.65 per week to meet challenge GW; there is no room for error.

    02 Jan: 210
    09 Jan: 207.2 (-2.8)
    16 Jan: 205.6 (-1.8)
    23/01: 206.4 (+0.8) One of those puzzling weeks where calorie goals are met, exercise done and yet the scale goes up after going down to 204.6.
    30/01?
    06/02?
    13/02 ?

    This challenge is really keeping me motivated. Eye on the goal. Next week will be better.

    Less than a lb fluctuation....I bet its hormone related. So frustrating though I know. That'll be me next week ugh. I'm due to start shark week next Thursday oh joy. You know you've stayed under calorie goal.... you're doing awesome! One day at a time girl...I have all the faith in you!

    Lucifer's waterfall is still on today, but I actually don't feel like I'm retaining water in my hands at this point, but I am still pretty sore so I could still be packing a lot in muscles...whatever, I'm not going to sweat the scale since my clothes are fitting looser...I'm looking forward to the 4th and final week of my lifting routine!!!

    LighterLife is a amazing diet, the Total VLCD plan can helped me to loose 3 stone in 3 months! They now have weekly Xpress meetings which help to identify reasons for overeating and teach you the tools and skills to loose weight and keep it off! The meetings are completely free :) really recommend x

    Here are my weekly weigh in stats:
    SW for this challenge: 208.4
    CW: 203.8
    GW for this challenge: 199

    It was a tough one! I did all things that were right but only lost 0.2 pounds this week. However, my period is starting tomorrow so I know that’s the reason why 😊

    We’re almost there!!

    I don't have any progress at all. I've actually gained a pound, went from 304 to 305. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    If you've kept within your calories (you are précise in your logging and log everything and stay within your allowance) then you are not doing anything wrong. Just normal weight fluctuations.

    I was a bit discouraged that I haven't been able to break below 142 (keep hovering at, then slipping back up a bit, then hovering at again over the month).

    But today I took the 3 measurements needed for the US Military Body Fat % calculation website - they were down from Jan 2 - and the resulting calculation was 1.5% lower!!!!

    I feel MUCH better now - the weight may be mostly plateauing, but changes ARE happening!

    If anyone else seems to be plateauing even though they are doing all the right things and logging properly, maybe that is the case with you too!

    I need some new motivation!!

    SW (150)
    CW (121)
    GW (110)

    I am just about 5 feet tall, so currently on the higher end of my normal BMI. At this point for my height and weight, it takes me about 3 weeks to lose a lb, only eating 1200 calories a day, so it can be a little discouraging. I just started a lifting program, so hopefully that helps!

    Challenge starting weight: 173
    Goal for Vday: 163
    Today’s weight: 164

    I was surprised to see a full pound drop from last week’s 165 because I thought that weigh in had been a bit low. Not complaining, as I do have my stats set for a pound each week! 9 pounds off from having a healthy bmi. 🎉
