    Weight lost/gained this month: -1.8

    Successes- Im officially down >40lbs!!!!! And i bought some cute new clothes and really noticed my weight loss for the first time. Also, wore size large scrubs to work (down from a 2x). They were a little snug, but definitely wearable!

    Struggles- getting my steps in. Went over calories. I need to get more protein in. Also, now that Ive lost 40, my loss is starting to slow down. Thinking of changing my goal to 1.5/week in the near future.

    Weight lost/gained this month: Gained .8

    Successes/struggles 10th May: I actually did really well counting calories and exercising, so the increase is a little frustrating. I have a noticed a trend though and that is I will drop 4, almost 5 pounds one week and then level out the next, then a big drop, then level out. I’m pretty sure this is my leveling out week. Here’s hoping next week will be a loss.

    This is the first challenge I've ever participated in because I'm new to the community. What amazes me is the honesty and commitment of the people who gain even when they wanted to lose. This acceptance coupled with the determination that they aren't going to let this happen next week has been most inspiring to me. I am learning that the journey isn't always perfectly linear... reaching our goal is no less respectable if it takes us twice as long as someone else to lose "x" lbs. You all are an awesome group. Whether you've gained or lost this week, you acknowledge struggles, successes, weaknesses, and by posting here show your commitment to your health. I think this type of challenge is something I'll participate in regularly in the future. Thanks for inspiring me!
