One day closer to our next weigh-in (10/2). What's your plan for success today?

I've packed an incredibly healthy lunch, along with filling snacks so I can avoid the free lunch at work today that involves lots of chips and cookies!

This will probably be a doable goal for someone that has a lot of weight to lose, but for those that are already close to their ideal body weight it's just asking for failure.

Yup

I'm in.... just started a week ago and had a sudden loss but now I am gaining!! Need all the help I can get

I just started MFP on Tuesday. I'm in.

Thursday 9/26, 180
Tuesday 10/1, 178
Tuesday 10/8, 176
Tuesday 10/15, 174
Tuesday 10/22, 172

Goal: Saturday 10/26 172

And that will be just 24 lbs away from my goal weight of 148. I'm 5"9 and big boned :ohwell: so 148 would look very healthy

Hello, just saw your challenge .... Is it to late for me to join? Let me know Thank-You! Tenalee

I just weighed myself and it appears the scale hasn't moved. I am really not happy with that. I think I may have to watch the sodium in my diet. I hear that sodium can prevent the water from leaving the body. Also I haven't been eating consistently at 1252 or whatever my calorie restiction is supposed to be. I admit to having a candy bar over the weekend. I'm going to have to tighten it up!

(I'm a beginner too, I've been on My Fitness Pal for less than 2 weeks so...I guess I still have some learning to do).

Definitely drink a lot of water. Yesterday I was at 171 because the day before I had tons of sodium-rich food. I definitely didn't lose 2 actual pounds in a day - all water! I drank like 10 glasses and was under my calorie goal by 70 or something. Try water for a few days on top of your calorie goals and see where it's at after that.

I haven't weighed myself yet but I sure have gained lots of stamina, endurance, and extra sleep. I can function very well now. By giving myself mini goals the ultimate goal seems more realistic each and every day.

My goal was to be at 129lbs today and I weighed in this AM at 135lbs. 1lb down since last week way in but Im thinking that this challenge might not have been for me. When trying to loose 2lbs a week I thought I was failing when the scale read 4lbs heavier in a week. My body didn't feel right eating 1200 calories. Ive lost inches off my waist and I feel better this week than I did in week 1. Im going to continue to do the challenge to see where I end up in the end of this but not getting my hopes up to loose the 2lbs per week. Best of luck to you all who are still doing it.

I'm just seeing this challenge but i'm in so i guess i'll have to play catch up or only do 4 lbs since I'm already 2 weeks late

Week 2 10/9 (start date) 134.5
week 3 10/16 132
week 4 10/23 130

Lets get it!!!
