    Last weigh in (2/22)= 158.6
    Today's weigh in = 157.8.

    I made goal, which was 158, FINALLY. And I gained a pound over yesterday, should have posted then... but I would have had to up it today anway, right? ROFL I've yet to reset my goal weight officially here on the site... enjoying being able to say GOAL!!! right now. ;-) But... know that unofficially, I want to drop to anywhere in the 140s.

    Sorry friends... I am struggling. Failed my final defense so I will not be graduating this semester. Trying to bounce back but pretty unmotivated right now 😢

    Sorry to hear you didn't pass. Take some time to be nice to yourself (that doesn't involve food - my first instinct) and take control of the area of your life that will help you feel better about yourself!

    Pinkfairy thank you for the good advice!

    That's what I've started to do when I have a bad day or get some bad news. Previously I would eat to make me feel better and get some control. When in fact I was just causing me to even more out of control.so trying to change that habit! Big hugs again!

    I feel like I have been in the 150s FOREVER! So happy to find this challenge!

    Preferred Name: RisingAboveIt
    Highest Weight: 217
    Current Weight: 152.4
    Goal Weight: 139
    Way of Eating (WOE): following the recommended 1200 calories from MFP
    Anticipated weigh-in frequency: every Saturday morning

    This has been a stressful week at work, with a lot of food-related events, so I sadly anticipate a gain this week :( Hopefully not! I haven't been in the 140s since 2014, when I lost weight for my little brother's wedding, so it's frustrating that it's taking so long to get back down to it...but I will get there!

    Yay, today I weighed in at 151.6! The 140s are starting to become a reality!

    You are knocking on the door of the 140s! So close! Great job :)

    Had 3 good days. The last 2 not so good.

    I can’t believe I’m up 4.6 lbs since I began this. (I was shocked into action with jump of 3.4 lbs to 157.)
    I was so close at 150.6! Since mid Feb is the first time my average weights have been increasing since April 2017.

    Going for it the next 33 days. It’s time. I know what I need to do.

    No eating out.

    3/24 155.2 Start

    4/26. End

    I was so close until I sabotaged myself. I need to have preferred snacks ready for when I'm ready to fall off the wagon.

    WOE: no processed sugar, flour or other stuff, limited fruit, nuts, seeds, legumes, dairy and grains

    I got to 150 two days ago, jumped back up today. I will report in again when I get under for more than three days. My weight tends to shoot up and down but thankfully is slowly overall descending.
