    SW: 200 lbs
    Challenge starting weight: 151.8 lbs
    Current weight:145.6 lbs

    So I am down 6.2 lbs so far! I just started a new lifting routine this Saturday so I'm expecting to retain some water from DOMS unfortunately which I hope I won't hold onto for too long. My goal is 144 lbs by valentines if all goes well.

    1/31 - 158.8
    2/1 - 158.8
    2/6 - 159.6
    2/7 - 158.8

    The scale is still be a giant PITA, however, I did a quick measurement today against my 2/1 measurements and I've lost half an inch in the waist...things are definitely happening even if the scale doesn't want to get on board. Clearly I will not make goal, but I'm not quitting either. I'm getting slack about remember to weigh in the mornings, so I want to really focus on that for the last week. It looks like shark week is due to start around the 15th, so the scale will probably not be friendly, but whatever. I'll also try to do measurements on Valentine's day and see if there is progress there, but with bloating, who knows how these things will line out.

    This challenge has been fun and I enjoy reading everyone's updates - keep up the great work, the goal line is right around the corner!!!

    Update
    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.

    02 Jan: 210
    09 Jan: 207.2 (-2.8)
    16 Jan: 205.6 (-1.8)
    23/01: 206.4 (+0.8)
    30/01: Frustrated at scale didn't weigh myself
    06/02 07/02: 204.0 A total of 6 lbs down for the challenge so far. Not as much as I was expecting but progress is progress I guess.
    14/02 ?

    BMcC9 reporting in ....
    Personal goal for Valentines Day => break out of 140's
    OR
    141 is "inside Normal BMI range for me .... so if I don't break all the way through to 139.X by Valentines, I want to get into 140.X with additional measurable NSV advance.

    This is still great progress for a 60 yr old !


    SW this challenge: 144.6
    Dec 21: 143.3 (-1.3 so far)
    Dec 28: 144.4 (- 0.2 from SW .... with 4 big meals over the past 14 days, I consider this a maintain-so-far)
    Jan 04: 143.7 (- 0.9 from SW .... weighed in ~ 4 hours earlier than last week so even better than number indicated
    Jan 11: 144.2 (-0.4 from SW .... weighed in an hour earlier than last week, for the whole past week ...)
    Jan 18: 142.6 (-2.0 from SW .... settled back into early weigh-in for two weeks now, and have increase my daily exercise burn for ~10 days now)
    Jan 25: 143.0 (-1-6 from SW)
    Feb 1 : 142.0 (- 2.6 from SW BUT ALSO measurably down 1 inch off waist and 1/2 " off hips / body fat % calculation lower ..... so SOMETHING is progressing as it should!)
    Feb 8: 140.9 B)B) (- 3.7 from SW .... seems my muscles are finally 'OK with" increased workload from daily HIIT sessions)

    YAY!!!

    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!!

    SW for this challenge: 208.4
    CW: 203.0
    GW for this challenge: 199

    I lost 0.8 pounds this week without working out and just by calorie counting! I take a break after I finish a workout plan to relax my muscles and it definitely has been helping me mentally this week. Back to the grind on Monday with a new workout plan and we'll see if I can lose those 4 pounds during these next couple of weeks! If I don't, it's okay because I still dropped weight from this challenge. Slow and steady!

    Back on a new workout plan and omg I got sick yesterday! I feel crappy so let’s see what happens with my workouts this weekend. Next week is Valentine’s Day so we’re right around the corner to the end of this challenge. Here are my stats:

    SW for this challenge: 208.4
    CW: 201.6
    GW for this challenge: 199

    I have 2.6 pounds to go which I’m not sure I’ll make by next week. I still lost a good amount!

    Challenge starting weight: 173
    Goal for Vday: 163
    Today’s weight: 161.6

    I just suddenly dropped a bunch of water weight over the last couple of days. It was fun to see the drastic change on the scale. I was eating within my calorie range and getting my exercise in so I knew the stubborn scale was nothing to worry about, but it’s always nice to actually be vindicated on that.
