Challenge Start Weight: 134
Challenge Goal: 130 and 5k
Week 1: 134
Week 2: 133 and 4.0km (30 mins)
Positive thought: Two weeks without any exercise is OK.
Healthy snack or meal: I roasted some aubergine and courgette with shallots and red pepper and some dried herbs, and then used it in my packed lunches during the week. Worked really well and meant a bit more variety than usual.
Best workout: Ran 4.0km in 30mins
Water challenge: I didn’t actively participate in this one because I already drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, it’s not a goal I struggle to hit.
Comments: Kid got ill and I didn’t leave the house for 3 days. Really hard to do anything other than eat at maintenance, but I am a pound down, probably cycle related.2 -
Challenge Start Weight: 176.4
Challenge Goal: 160
Week 1: 174.9
Week 2: 175.4
A positive thought for the week: fluctuations are just water weight - just keep going
Healthy snack or meal: ate fish twice this week.
Best workout this week: none
Water Challenge results: two days I think I got all the way to eight but mostly I was just more aware and snuck some extra water in. I think I average about 5. I know that 8 really does make a difference.
Comments: Everybody have a great week!

Challenge Start Weight: 130
Challenge Goal: 120ish
Week 1: 128
Week 2: 128
A positive thought for the week: water fluctuations are normal and my trend is still downward. Good daily practices will pay off over time.
Healthy snack or meal: veggie soup with miso, tofu, and plain greek yogurt.
Best workout this week: core and arm strength day
Water Challenge results: around 120oz day
Comments: trying not to drive myself crazy with the scale slowing down significantly this month. I have to acknowledge that I can't expect the same losses I experienced in the first few months now that I'm smaller and fitter.2 -
Challenge Start Weight: 180.7
Challenge Goal: 169.9
Week 1: 179.3
Week 2: 178.4
A positive thought for the week: Stay strong!
Healthy snack or meal: Almonds
Best workout this week: 16,385 steps and strength training
Comments: I did get my calories up to a better range around 1200-1400. The scale bounced around the same one pound all week with a daily deficit of over 1000 most days. I'm hoping for a whoosh this week.
I have a stressful week ahead and also trying to keep January completely dry so this will be a tough week.
Have a great one everyone!0 -

A positive thought for the week:I can make smart food choices
Healthy snack or meal:Grilled chicken with sauteed beet greens

Challenge Start Weight: 138.9 lbs
Challenge Goal: 133.0 lbs
Week 1: 139.6 lbs
Week 2: 137.4 lbs
Going in the right directions. Yay for me! I meal prepped this weekend. (I’ll have to weigh the food as I eat it because I just put the food in the containers.) For two weeks straight I’ve lifted 3 days in the week. I’m impressed with myself. I hope to stay afloat this week. That is all.2 -
Starting weight: 156
Week 1 Weight: 157.8
Week 2 Weight: 156.2
Goal weight: 145
Comments: I’ve been traveling all weekend so I’m actually relieved to see that there was no major weight gain, and the period bloat is going down. Now that I’m done traveling, I’m excited to have time to stick to my meal plan.2 -
Start Weight:200.8 (January 2018)
Challenge Start Weight:196.0
Challenge Goal Weight:186.0

It' moving, yay! Still feeling super motivated. Just staying in calorie goal still, increasing veg intake and protein intake a little more mindfully. I can't incorporate any real exercise yet, but getting there!2 -

Same here. Meal prep and bringing my own lunch/snacks helps me stay on track. Also helps my pocketbook. I try to get everything thing into my food log in the morning and just tweak as needed during the day. By the way, you are doing great!1 -

Thanks! I looked and there was no edit option in the gear menu. I'm using the Android phone app so maybe there is a glitch on my end. I've noticed some other things missing that weren't when I was a member before. I may have to try reinstalling when I have more time because I can't always get on a computer.0 -
Challenge Start Weight: 129.4
Challenge Goal: 115-120
Week 1: 127.4
Week 2: 126.8
A positive thought for the week: The scale dropped down quite a bit towards the end of the week after getting a quick stomach bug. Recovered from that sickness and ready to start back in the gym and get back to myself! Hoping to say positive even though I know the scale will come back up due to water weight and stuff I lost during being sick!
Healthy snack or meal: I made a ham to snack on throughout the week and incorporate in my meals!
Best workout this week: Walking 4 miles a couple times this week in addition to gym time!
Water Challenge results: I already drink tons and tons of water in a day so not really a goal set here!

Start Weight: 133 (1/1/19)
Challenge Start Weight: 131.2
Challenge Goal: 127
WEEK 1: 130.2
WEEK 2: 131.2 (Say what???)
A positive thought: Slow and steady wins the race? I can be accountable!
I'm incredibly disappointed but I know I'm the culprit...I am going through a major upheaval at work and instead of drinking, I'm EATING---think chips, dip, Oreos, general snacks. I'm pissed at myself and need to just get back to basics.
A healthy snack/meal: Cottage cheese. HB egg. Quaker mini rice crisps. Fruit.
My most effective workout this week was: Clearly nothing, since I'm up a pound! Committing to doing Jazzercise 3X this week---went yesterday, so two to go!

Start Weight: 260.0 (Dec. 2013)
Challenge Start Weight: 238.4
Challenge Goal: 226
Week 1: 238.0
Week 2: 238.0
A positive thought: Lowest last week was 237.2 on 2 days.
A healthy snack/meal: Beef tacos with sour cream, spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
My most effective workout this week was: Ballet/aerobic workout and body cycle.
Comment: I weigh everyday so that I have something to show even when the scale shows the same or more at weigh-in. Watching those fluctuations, I try to figure out what works. I find it hard to stick to calorie limit (and especially with MFP lowering it on its own on 2 days) unless I work out or have something exciting going on.

A positive thought: “Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals.
If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.” Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
A healthy snack/meal: Eggplant Parmesan (17-Day Diet version) Recipe
My most effective workout this week was: Reformer Pilates - I'm still loving it! Go almost everyday.
Note: I finally figured out that there is a new URL each week. DUH!0 -

Week 1: 132.2
Week 2: 132.2
A positive thought for the week: Thanks for the support last week, y'all! I did eventually catch up with (most of) my paperwork!
Healthy snack or meal: Black coffee instead of adding sweetened creamer to it.
Best workout this week: walking dog~
Water Challenge results: did not participate
Comments:
I guess I'm glad I didn't gain! I've had a harder time logging consistently since reaching 135 pounds. Ordered some spanx tights, hoping they fit and are gorgeous~0 -

Healthy snack or meal: still loving almonds
Best workout this week: just walking - 3.25 miles was my longest this week I think.
Water Challenge results: I really didn’t pay too much attention honestly. For all the other bad eating habits I had water has never been an issue for me. I prefer it to juices or lemonade or whatever so I get 8 glasses down pretty easily.
Comments: my pants are loose! Annoyingly i can’t fit into the next size down yet but I am happily wearing pants that look a little sloppy 3 -

Best workout this week: my music playlist really help me keep on moving.
Comments:I still didn’t workout as much I hope I would've, but I made sure to watch what I ate that day to not go over my calories count!1 -
Sorry I’m late posting. I got a lil discouraged when my weight went up this week. I’m down again now, but should’ve posted anyway.
Start weight: around 230
Challenge start weight: 211
Challenge goal: ONEderland
Week 1: 207
Week 2: 210
Positive thought: It could be worse and that steak was worth it. Lol
Snack: trying to snack less and listen to my body tell me when I’m hungry.
Best workout is usually early in the morning. Been cold and hard to leave my comfy bed. Pushing through.
I hope everyone is having a great week!!1 -

How do you get in your tons and tons daily?
I just like to keep a water bottle with me wherever I go. I have a 32 oz bottle because I think it’s easier for me to drink more from a larger bottle (personally haha.) Water is the only thing I drink throughout the day and I start right when I wake up! I try to drink a half to full bottle before all meals and snacks. Hope this helps!1 -

It does help. THANKS. I think coffee messes me up. During the holidays I was at my parents house and I told myself no coffee until I drink a bottle of water first. It worked! But when I came back home I was back to “but first, coffee”. HELP!0 -

I don’t really see the harm in having your coffee before your water as long as your hydrating shortly after and getting in your water at the end of the day!1
