I had a rough week with regard to both eating and logging, so I am glad to still see a loss -- I was worried when I stepped on the scale!

Hope everyone else had a good week!

    That's great Anna!

    I wasn't losing all week. I wasn't eating enough and not very well. Then last night I pigged out and somehow I was down today. I will also have to try to drink more water because I've been so busy I'm just not drinking my usual amount.

    Week 0 (starting weigh in) - 174.8
    Week 1 - 175.2
    Week 2 - 174.6
    Week 3 - 175.0
    Week 4 - 173.4
    Week 5 - 173.0
    Week 6 - 172.4

    Down 2.4 pounds.

    Good job to both of you!

    I had a terrible week. I was inexplicably hungry all week and worked an insane number of hours. Even with a workout each day, I gained this week. (I really hope it's largely water) I probably ate at TDEE most days and I admit there was a lot of crap in there. I allowed myself to stress eat even though I know better by now. On to a much better week!

    SW: 169.8
    Week 1: 172.8 and 168 exercise minutes
    Week 2: 172.4 and 185 exercise minutes
    Week 3: 169.8 and 250 exercise minutes
    Week 4: 167.8 and 281 exercise minutes
    Week 5: 166.4 and 224 exercise minutes
    Week 6: 168.4 and 187 exercise minutes (well, that sucks!)

    Total lost: 1.4 :(

    Don't worry Jen. Whenever I eat a bit more I am always up even though I couldn't possibly have eaten that much over maintenance! I understand it is the body replenishing its glycogen reserves. It is the same reason most people lose a lot in the first 1-2 weeks after they start reducing their caloric intake. I've seen people say they set their goal 3-5 lbs. below where they really want to be as they know their weight will take a one-time small jump as soon as they transition back to maintenance calories. Anyway, the weight you gained this week should be gone very quickly as soon as you are back on track.

    It's probably just water. You would have to eat a ton over to gain that much weight. Next week will be better! Like me get on the water train.

    Good job all, and take it easy on yourself Jen, you've been working and working out like crazy!

    My SW: 170 / Goal: 155
    Last week: 166
    This week: 165.4 / Minutes: 122

    It feels like I haven't had much progress but so far I'm 4.6 down so I guess that's not so bad! I can almost see the low 160's, and today I even measured an inch loss on my waist.

    Hi there! I had a good week so far. Today and tomorrow are my rest days for working out. I came so far along this journey. I used to be a 1x in tops, a 18 in bottoms and 202 lbs. I was considered to be obese. Now I am a size s-m in tops, an 8 in bottoms and 131 lbs. I have worked so hard to get here. I actually have only 1 more lb to lose to be at my weight loss goal. Here are my stats for the challenge:

    Wk 2-137 lbs
    Wk 3-135 lbs
    Wk 4-133 lbs
    Wk 5-133 lbs
    Wk 6-131 lbs

    Total Challenge loss: -11 lbs

    Take care everyone and keep up the great work this week! We can all achieve our personal goals if we stay determined and put in the effort. See you all next week!

    SW 153 pounds
    CW 151 pounds

    Zero pounds lost this week.

    Exercise minutes 145 minutes of walking


    I had a hard time finding motivation to keep logging this week. Overate almost everyday and for no particular stressful event.
    Just no willpower. And I have a feeling it's going to show up on the scale soon. Ugh!

    Congrats to all who are continuing to lose and still hanging in there.

    Excellent work to all of you! I'm so happy and proud of everyone who continues to check in.
    And thank you to everyone for the kind words and encouragement. The old Jen would have thrown in the towel and quit, but the new Jen doesn't roll that way. I wore my new jeans all weekend to remind myself why I am here and how hard I have worked.

    To lharri0209: Amazing! You are an inspiration.

    See you all next week!

    -Jen

    Exercise wise I am not tracking minutes, but am pushing my 10k steps daily since I got my fitbit. Should be getting in at least 30-45 minutes today +/- depending on what I end up shoveling since that's additional hard work!

    SW 219.8 lbs
    Week 1: 222.2 lbs
    Week 2: 222.2 lbs
    Week 3: 223.0 lbs
    Week 4: 222.4 lbs
    Week 5: 224.6 lbs
    Week 6: 225.0 lbs

    A gain of 0.4 lbs this week. I finally joined the local gym this weekend and will be starting to go there a few times a week and work myself up to going at least 4 times a week. I also went and purchased some Jillian Michaels dvds for at home workouts on the days I don't go to the gym. I also start a team weight management program tonight. So with all the changes I'm doing hopefully I will be able to start losing weight again instead of slowly gaining.

    Great job to everyone who is on track and with your losses!!!
