This is my 2nd round of this challenge. I was close to my goal but did not meet it. I worked on a Level 5 - 25 pounds for the last challenge and lost a total of 23.8lbs. I love the challenges because they hold me accountable and make me aware of my choices when want to eat and snack. My weigh-in day is a Friday but joining on the first.

Hi All,
I'm on holiday, so all routines are off. 😬 Tracking calories best I can and weighing in regularly too (we're RV camping and I brought my food scale and bathroom scale). Aside from campfire s'mores occasionally I'm doing pretty good. 🤗 I'm not getting my regular weight training in, but I am bike-riding and lake-rowing more. I will update my weight but won't be logging measurements until I return home in late July. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!

Well, dang. I'm definitely not going to be able to lose another 8.8 pounds in the month that's left in this challenge. I've really been slacking off in this challenge. I've gone over 2000 calories a day nearly every day this past week. I'm honestly floored that my weight went down instead of up.
In order to meet my goal, I guess I could try to be way more strict with my calories. I'm not sure if it's worth being super strict just to meet a challenge. Hmm. We'll see. I'll try to go to 1300 calories a day and see if that's too difficult for me or not. Will update next week with how well that goes!
I pondered that question last challenge (go super restrictive or stay the course). I ultimately went with stay the course because I've learned that if I'm too restrictive I end up binging. 😬 Either way we're all cheering for you!!1 -

I'm doing a 5K race this Saturday and going on vacation on Sunday so the next weigh-in will be in two weeks. The goal is to not gain any weight.
06/19 - 172.6 Slowly but surely I'm moving in the right direction. I had lots of yummy food on vacation yet stayed pretty active (tennis, weights, running, and swimming).
06/26 - out of town, no scale.
07/03 - 170.2 I'm happy with the results so far but I will have to push myself just a tad bit harder to meet my challenge goal.2 -

Hi All,
I'm still on holiday, and all routines are off. I'm amazed that I'm staying on track though!! 🤗 My calories are definitely up, but so is my daily exercise (bicycling and rowing a lot). So, all-in-all I'm staying on track and even gaining a little momentum. I hit my challenge weight this morning, so I'll push for the next level by August. Have a great week everyone and thanks for keeping me so inspired - you are all awesome!!
