Was able to add some shakes and get all my calories for the day, unfortunately I wasn't seeing the scale move anymore.
Starting yesterday I am eating my usual breakfast and using shakes for lunch and dinner meal replacement. Apparently my body is requiring a much larger calorie deficit than I thought it would.3 -

I had originally decided that I just wanted to see my abs, but apparently if I don’t have a number goal set, I don’t take it seriously enough to make any solid progress. Lol. I just maintain. So, challenge goal is currently set to 140. Tentatively.

Aw, thanks! I've actually been disappointed in myself with my weight loss slowing down, so it sort of gives me a reality check to hear you saying it's inspirational. I think I might just be too hard on myself sometimes. So, thank you again!1 -
I started this challenge 1 week ago. I weighed in at 160 this morning, a 5 pound weight loss! Keep on keepin' on, folks. It's amazing what happens when we don't get in our own way👍!3

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.

May 24th Weight-In: 182.8 lb
Challenge Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Goal Weight: 161.8 lb
Weekly Goals (May - August):
Exercise at least 5 days a week or a minimum of 210 exercise minutes: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (2x), Thursday, Friday: Every day this week! ✅
Meet or stay under calorie goals at least 6 days a week (including eating back exercise calories burned). With today, I’ll have been under my calorie goals since Sunday. Feels good! ✅
May Goals:
Reduce alcohol consumption to a maximum of 2 drinks per week (2 pints, or 2 glasses of wine for example) 3 drinks this week: 2 cocktails for my friend’s 30th on Saturday, and I’m planning on 1 drink tonight with co-workers to catch up and celebrate the long weekend ahead 🚫
It’s TOM for me this week so I was really surprised to see the scale go down. Normally, I gain because of bloating during this time for me. Maybe a big whoosh is on the way for next week? I do want to end May with a loss, even if it is a small one, from where I started this month.
Good luck everyone!!

Actually glad it wasn't a gain. Family in town, stressful week, that time of month... thought for sure I was going to be up again. Next week should be better!!
Last challenge I started with a gain too and ended with a loss. Go figure

You guys are all rocking it - even if the scale has gone up some. Yes, up and downs happen to EVERYONE, but not everyone sticks with it through the rough patches. Give your selves a big pat on the back for hanging in there!! 👏👏👏👏4

My bronchitis is still lingering, but about 90% better this week. I missed a whole week of my strength training too; I had to listen to my body. So numbers this week have more to do with careful CICO counting than exercise. But hey, I'll take it where I can get it!! Also, I did a little clothes shopping while in town after my Dr. Appt. (no more notches on my belt:) and was thrilled to be down two sizes and have everything I tried on FIT or be TOO BIG!! I can't say enough about sticking with it ESPECIALLY when the scale goes flat or UP (storey of my last three months)! IMO one-step-back is a necessary part of two-steps-forward; it may not feel like progress, but it is! Can you tell I'm excited?!? Well, have a great week everyone. 💃🏼

I feel like I'm making excuses for myself, but I'm learning to trust the process. Lol. I KNOW there's nothing I could have done to have gained actual weight during this. I'm getting to know my body though, and if there's one thing I've learned since I started this, its that I usually have a fairly slow decline, then my weight will jump back up, and then drop dramatically and repeat. Fingers crossed the scale reflects my hard work soon. I've been running my tail off and have been fairly consistent with my calories so it should.3 -

So I’m counting this as a win—I have an old fashioned analog scale that has a bit of wiggle in it, so when I measure, I take a two-out-of-three reading. The May 20th reading was 122, 123, 122. The May 26 reading was 122, 121, 122. So there’s probably a half pound in there somewhere—I’m not going to worry too much. The main thing is, I’m seeing those last bothersome pooches around my belly going away. I’ll take it!3
