This week did not go as well as well as I had hoped. I injured my knee and have been unable to workout as planned. This week’s weight loss I think is due to last weeks determination and I worry about what next week will show. However, my knee is getting better and I should be able to do more walking. So even though it’s not back to my normal intensity for workouts being able to move around more will help.

What I've learned about myself: Somehow I managed to lose my entry for the 11th. I think I was back at 263 but I don't remember... I had an AMAZING time in Rome! I'm kinda bummed because with all of the walking I did, I managed to gain weight. Perhaps it was all the gelato!!! Okay, time to refocus!4 -

Just went to Red Lobster tonight, so there's no way my weight will be less tomorrow morning. I kept it under cals, but I had enough salt for the entire week in one meal! I'm proud of myself for not caving under peoples' pressure to overeat. January was a good month, but I need to step up the activity to keep losing.5 -
Starting Weight: 240 (July 2019)
Challenge Starting Weight: 218.1 (Dec 1, 2019)
Goal Weight: 198
W1 12/1: 218.1 - Enjoyed Thanksgiving but didn't succumb to it.
W2 12/8: 217.2 - Continuing to move in the right direction.
W3 12/15: 218.1 - Yikes! I need to commit to exercising harder ... starting right now.
W4 12/22: 216 - Too lax on the holiday party eating but close to my milestone goal of 215 by EOY.
W5 12/29: 218.3 - Arrgh! Too many Bowl games, soft pretzel bites & beer. Very disappointed December is a write-off.
W6 1/5: 215 - A few days late to hit my 2019 year-end goal but I'll take the late win!
W7 1/12: 213.5 - Daily High Knees, Climbers & Flutter Kicks (January exercise challenge) and healthy eating are doing the job.
W8 1/19: 212.4 - The needle will have to move a little faster to hit my goal by Apr 1 but still moving in right direction.
W9 1/26: 211.9 - I was 1.5 lbs lighter just a few days back (a little water weight maybe?)! We're going out tonight for our son's birthday - he wanted Neapolitan-style pizza so I'll need to show a little restraint
What I'm learning about myself: I'm doing a relatively decent job on the diet side but have been slacking off on the exercise - too little and not pushing hard enough. Time to get off the couch!5 -
Starting Weight on 4/1/2019: 280
Current Challenge Weight: 195.6
Goal Weight: 180 (this is my ultimate goal weight from when I started my WLJ last April. It will mark a 100 lb total weight loss. These last 15 lbs will most likely be the toughest for me, but I will give it my best shot! Good luck everyone!)
W1 12/1: 195.6
W2 12/8: 193 (upped my workouts this past week, but have been eating back all my calories...apparently not enough! I'll take it though
We'll see if it holds by next week.)
W3 12/15: 191.6 (Thought for sure I would gain some back this week but reduced my salt intake and not retaining as much water now.)
W4 12/22: 192.6 (yesterday I was 190.8, but today is weigh-in for the challenge. I'm used to these wild swings. They've been happening since day one of my journey. No worries.... Merry Christmas everyone!)
W5 12/29: 192.4
W6 1/5: 189.6 (on the last day of 2019, I hit 189.8 and NORMAL WEIGHT BMI...I must have been retaining a ton of water from the holidays and even lost a little more since then, for today's weigh in. I haven't seen the 180's since 2001...Happy New Year everyone and welcome to all the new people!)
W7 1/12: 188.4
W8 1/19: 187.8 (Slow, steady, and healthy as I get closer to my ultimate goal of 180 lbs..my setting on MFP is to lose 1/2 lb per week now. I had a really good week, exercise wise. Pushed it when I didn't feel like it at the time.)
W9 1/26: 187.4 (challenge weight loss 1/2 way point, -8.2 lbs. This is actually more than I thought I would lose by this time since I am near my goal weight. Total weight loss since April 2019, -92.6 lbs.)

I'm joining late!! But I can't do this full throttle because I am nursing a 9.5 month old. I still want accountability and drive to help me stay on track. I want to lose some weight by April. I haven't been able to lose weight since my initial 12 week weight loss after baby was born. Been very frustrating. I workout about 5x a week and eat fairly well most of the time. Good luck!!!

What I've learned about myself : That when I get depressed, or even a little down,I eat--Nothing good for me either! Even with my body having issues, I can find something physical to do to keep busy and not think about food. I know my weight is headed in the wrong direction, but this coming week I am going to get back to doing things right!! I have to do this for me.7 -

What I've learned about myself : Weekends are always challenging for me to stay within my calories for the day. However, I was very successful this weekend!

I knew this week was going to be hard. I ate out multiple times, went to happy hour and had all day plans both days over the weekend that prevented me from working out and included a lot of poor food choices. In order to combat my high calorie plans I spent my lunch breaks taking walks and made sure to fit in a few light workouts during the week, I also tried really hard to stick to my diet plan when I could. I am happy with my success despite the challenges I faced. I am hoping this week will be a little stronger on all fronts!
In very happy news I am a little over half way through my overall goal and also doing well in this accountability challenge. It is hard some days/weeks to stay motivated but I know I can do it! And looking at my current results gave me the positivity I needed to start this week strong after eating take out Chinese and Pizza this weekend.
We can do it!

I knew this week was going to be hard. I ate out multiple times, went to happy hour and had all day plans both days over the weekend that prevented me from working out and included a lot of poor food choices. In order to combat my high calorie plans I spent my lunch breaks taking walks and made sure to fit in a few light workouts during the week, I also tried really hard to stick to my diet plan when I could. I am happy with my success despite the challenges I faced. I am hoping this week will be a little stronger on all fronts!
In very happy news I am a little over half way through my overall goal and also doing well in this accountability challenge. It is hard some days/weeks to stay motivated but I know I can do it! And looking at my current results gave me the positivity I needed to start this week strong after eating take out Chinese and Pizza this weekend.
We can do it!
Yes!!! We can do it!! 😊2 -
