YAY! I am so pleased. I know it isn't a lot but it has been a real struggle to see any movement below 150. Last week I worked hard on upping my steps and I think that helped. I haven't done as great this week but it is motivation to get moving more!
I wish it would hurry up and be nice weather -wise here. I love having all seasons but spring is very windy in Santa Fe. It's like it is just starting to get warm but we have awful wind gusts, blowing tumbleweeds etc! Anyway, I want to walk outside more! Soon the wildflowers will start though and I'll be outside regardless then.5 -

I'm actually going to bow out of the challenge for now going forward. If you can keep me on the list as 'inactive' for now, that would be good. If you can't, I understand and I'll rejoin when it makes sense for me to do so.
Thank you!6 -

Truthfully, I am a little disappointed. I really thought I would lose a bit more but I didn’t gain. The positive is I have been slowly losing since November when my weight hit 213. Baby steps! The second positive is I am making much better choices. I am eating more fruit and vegetables. Next step is to improve my weekend choices.
Have a fantastic Friday!
I love how positive you are! I used to set hard deadlines for when I wanted to be a certain weight. The harder the deadline the more I seemed to gain. This time around I decided to remove the hard stop and just concentrate on being moderate. Even if I lose .1 of a pound it still counts as a win! You just proved this as well, looking back at November compared to now is definitely a win!3 -

Really really struggling to lose anything now. I've decided to give up trying to reach my goal of 176lb (100lb loss). I'm settling at 94lb loss and moving to maintenance for a while!
Welcome to the club! We've been waiting for you!4 -

Happy Friday Linda! I know how hard it is to trust the process and be happy with modest losses, but I’m glad that you see the positive in slow and consistent loss. With a well planned weekend, you can get a jump start on next week’s success! You’re doing amazing!

Ugh. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your encouraging words, I'm not going to let you all down and spiral into a sulkfest, I can't deny I'm feeling a little bit sorry for myself, I just won't wallow.
Probably fair for a week with 3 meals out and yesterday's Great Day Of Endless Appetite that was. Onwards!
You got this! New day, new opportunity for success

I've had a somewhat stressful week with a car breakdown, a car accident (different car) and a funeral (there has to be a joke in there somewhere).
Looking at the positives:
- I've hit my step goal almost every day this week (except for Sunday)
- I've done all of my workouts so far (I may skip the gym tonight)
- I was right and the weight I gained fell off this week plus more.

3/31 214.7 6 days in a row I have eaten over 1000 calories. This, plus the shakes (which help my caloric intake) are the reason I am doing better. I am pleased with this plus noticing the need to increase exercise time. Doing this 10 day challenge gives such an insight to trends and achievements. My body is changing and stamina is elevating. I have 1st goal to reach of 197 lbs which takes me out of "obese" range. And a pretty blue sundress from decades ago I want to fit into. These goals are steadily becoming less of a dream and more of a reality! I have no goal date. I just have a goal.

My sincerest apologies for the delay in weighing in.

I'm looking forward to sharing my progress on this coming Monday.1 -

I think as you get closer to reaching your goal weight loss slows down. A half a pound a week translates to 26 pounds a year. Congrats on the loss!justlog2day wrote: »Here is this week's weigh in info.

The weekends are weird right now. The nausea starts to ease up a bit and I have to learn to recognize that full feeling from the ozempic.2 -

Those small losses add up. I am approaching 60 and I have to realize weight loss is way different than in my 30’s.1 -
