    Hi guys-- sorry I've been a smidge MIA-- life is rearing its ugly head lately. So-- I fell off the wagon late last week and unfortunately ended the week up a couple lbs :( BUT-- As of today I am back on track! Over by like 55 cals today, i think, but all things considered I am pretty happy with that. Haven't been able to get to the gym in a few days, so that is disappointing as well, but I am trying my best to work everything in. Just a very busy time, with some personal things going on, too. But, at the very least I can control what I choose to put in my mouth, and I intend to do so! Weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, so, that is a pretty good place to start. Still plenty of time to get 50kbs off by NYE-- let's do this guys! :)

    I did horrible this week for multiple reasons! I made up a contract/ plan with myself last night, hope that helps too!
    SB for challenge 180 Body Fat 41%
    CW 182 Body Fat 40.1 %

    So while I ate too much and gained the numbers show my exercise is paying off, in FAT I did lose, about 1 pound.

    You have a wonderful, healthy understanding of the process. I saw the below on Pinterest, and it fits here:

    My usual weigh in day is Sunday but I didn't have a chance to post. As I expected I was up 2 lbs. but they are almost gone now -- back on track. So hard to lose over the summer, but this challenge is helping me to stay focused! :)

    I've lost 8.9 lbs in a week and a half. I have less then 40 to go to reach my goal weight! The weight loss will be slower now that I got rid of all that excess water weight, but its a good jump start. I can totally do this!

    having a bit of a funny week this week. have turned it around, feeling all the positive and trying to avoid negative, had a shift up of my goals-set my calories to a different level based on my tdee and bmr and body fat% and all that nonsense. finding it hard to eat all this food, but trying to get my net cals up! :)
    you are all doing great!

    Good morning, my start weight is 208 with a goal of 140. Even on the off chance that everything goes flawlessly, reaching my goal by NYE is probably unrealistic, but I'll sure give it a shot!

    I'm not accepting my weight in this morning, I'll wait until tomorrow and see if it's any better. Been doing a different TYPE of exercise than usual, and my carbs have been running high, so I think the unsatisfactory number may be from water retention. ::Shakes fist at scale:: Mean thing!

    Smart idea! I switched p things the first week of this and it showed a two pound gain! So this weeks weigh in for me is almost 6 pounds less then last week! Up two, down 6! Our bodies do hold onto 5 pounds that shift back and forth!

    Down only 0.9lbs. But I did go to our local fair and eat so many deep fried goodness so I am okay with that.
