Those last 15 pounds

Yes! Exactly what I'm talking about. 15 would be awesome, but even 10 would make me happy. I've worked hard over the past year and have gained a lot of strength, endurance, and muscle. However, my diet gives me the biggest challenge to seeing the results in the mirror. I want to be held accountable for my choices in that regard and my resulting weight. Feel free to add me! Btw, my wedding is coming up so I need to make this happen!!

Of course we love new friends!you can be so proud of your accomplishments over the last year. To lose more you must start from here. Use the same determination on the next goal ax u did the last goal .

It really is the hardest. I lost 195lbs in 1 year but have been stuck in the 180s for the past year. I used to weigh 377lbs and now I weigh 182lbs. I actually probably need to lose a little more than 15 more pounds but that is my goal for now. Anyone feel free to add me!

Worst week ever guys.
Back injury + muscle swelling + stomach bug bloat = I'm up 2 pounds since Monday. Nearly 3.

What do?

Try not to get frustrated, it looks like you have a lot going on. Get back on track when you're feeling better.

So this week has been a roller coaster for me...broke my tooth last sunday..got into the dentist Friday- thought they would be doing a root canal and fixing my tooth...nope...thats scheduled for the 24th!!!!! Not in pain but it is uncomfortable and limiting some of my poor food choices so that is a plus...eating a lot of soup....then to top it off I was sick all day yesterday...barely got out of bed...also ate next to nothing...we will see where this leaves me on the weight loss train.....

My week wasn't great. My weight was up this morning, but my food choices have been much better yesterday and today. Next Sunday will be a terrific weigh in! I make my breakfast and lunch the night before, so there is no question what I am eating at work. It's after work that I get myself into trouble, but if I don't buy it...I can't eat it.

I'll be able to get outside for a walk when I get home tomorrow. I got almost 12 Fitbit miles done today. Five miles of it I walked with my DH and grandpuppy, Bean, and then I went off by myself for a little quicker 4.5 miles...I love the longer days! This next week will be much better. I have 15.2 pounds to go.

I was doing great until the weekend. I TOTALLY blew it! Yes, I recorded my failure on the doc . I WILL get back on track this week. Nicer weather so I can go for a walk.

This past week was a really good one for me. I got in some exercise every day, stuck with the meal plan I put in place on Monday, and ordered sensibly when we went out to breakfast on Saturday. We don't go out a lot with having toddler, so I usually just say ahh it's a cheat meal, but this week I didn't and it felt good. I did have one day where I went off track, but I made up for it the following day to even out the calories for the week. 1.4 lbs gone!

Thanks to everyone in this thread. Seeing your progress and struggles has been keeping me motivated and realizing that it gets hard, and you just have to keep at it. Good job everyone! And here's to another strong week!

You guys are rocking this challenge. I just checked out the spreadsheet. Amazing!!!

Ok I have several quick "GO TO" meals that I eat. Lunch ( a lot of the time) 5oz of rotisserie chicken breast and 6 oz of steamed carrots with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and season to taste. Dinner .... Steamed broccoli, or pan seared fresh Brussel sprouts, (I love and can't do without ziploc steamer bags. Works great steaming all my veggies) 1/2 tablespoon butter and a little parm cheese with some protein (rotiserrie chicken breast, grilled shrimp or scallops... Because they cook really fast and I can keep them in the freezer and just take out what I need).

Snacks as of late.... Beef jerky (hi in protein and easy to take with me), fresh pineapple and or apples (but apples I need to eat with peanut butter and I am gonna try to cut peanut butter for the rest of the challenge).


I have had a good week. Still not doing all the extra abs/booty/arms work at home. By the end of the night I am exhausted so I think I need to start doing it in the morning. Toning while losing it a big part of my goal. I am definitely down from last week but my official weigh is tomorrow. Hoping for 132 but we have to wait and see.

Not really sure I can lose the remaining 12.5 by the end of this challenge but if I can get down atleast anothet 8.6.... I will be thrilled and will only have 4 more to go before my beach vaca in July. That is now my my goal.

Just need to stay focused and I have to try to NOT let the stresses of life knock me off course like "old me" use too.

Can I get in on this??? I have about 10lbs to lose and a bikini to feel comfortable in! I'd love to have some friends that are really going strong, logging every day and what not. I only have a few that do that. I find I'm more motivated to keep up if I see statuses regarding exercise. Please, add me! I'd add you all, but there's so many people in this thread.
