Pretty simple challenge here. If your weight is currently in the 150's (pounds), and your goal weight is somewhere below that, join here to track your progress! Whether you weigh-in daily or weekly, and regardless of your chosen way of eating, post in here with your weight updates. There's no required time limit -- just a challenge to get to 149 with some encouragement along the way. Feel free to add as much or as little in terms of details as you would like. I find that including a couple quick notes to remind myself of what I did the day or week before are helpful for me.

    I'm getting over a horrible cold, so I am surprised to see a drop considering how much water I'm retaining, but I'm not complaining!

    No we don't really do that in England really unless you have it every couple of months. You just have to take antibiotics and ride it out!

    It looks like the bloating is going down, and I am starting to feel a bit better! OMAD is going well so far -- not experiencing much hunger outside of my meal, but that might also be related to my diminished appetite while sick. We'll see what happens as time progresses. Looking forward to everyone's updates!

    nearly out the game haha, my foods have been in the calorie defecit but there's so much bloating and yuck from tonsillitis and antibiotics. I'm feeling a bit better today and was inclined not to post but need to be accountable and force myself back on track. Hoping to lose the 2 plus extra by Monday!

    I need to drink more water and try to get some more movement in. I'm doing really well with staying under calories. Tomorrow will be a challenge since I'm being asked to bring bagels in to celebrate someone's promotion. I get them from this place that makes the best bagels. I guess I just won't get my favorite flavor to help me resist. ; )
