    Halloween Goal: 135
    8/29 SW: 151
    9/5: 149.6
    9/12: 148.8
    9/19: 146.0
    CW: 144.8

    Had a decent loss this week, but I can now see that my 135 goal is probably too aggressive. I'm going to predict that I hit somewhere around 138 instead, which will still be nice. :)

    Hope everyone is having a great week! All of your posts are inspiring!

    Changing birth control finally helped me drop some stubborn water weight so I lost 4 pounds this week.

    I only lost a pound this week, (TOM just started), but I'm not feeling sad about it at all--A pound is a pound!! I'm not sure I'll achieve my goal of 150 by Halloween, that might've been a tad aggressive, but I'm definitely going to give it my all! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)

    Really glad to see the numbers still going down for everyone! :)

    Week 4 check in.

    Weight when I restarted this round of MFP tracking: 146.8 (Weighed the Wednesday before the challenge started).
    Weight 1st weigh in (weighed 8/30): 145.4
    Weight 2nd weigh in: 144.4
    Weight 3rd weigh in: 142.8
    Weight 4th weigh in: 140.6

    Weight this week: 140.0

    Lost 5.4 pounds so far for the challenge!

    (Total weight loss so far this round: 6.8 pounds)

    Week 2 of Whole 30 is not as easy as Week 1. I was so tired! But today I'm finally turning a corner and feel a little more energy. Bonus - I really notice that the inflammation in my body is subsiding on Whole 30. I never thought it would work on me, but there it is. And I really need to eat more. I'm not hitting my calories.

    Thanks...I am becoming more aware of stress and handling it differently than I use to. Food is not going to be a number.

    Stuck at 160 for second week but I'm feeling great. If you all get a chance you should Google motivational videos compilation. Then click on Google's video tab. I've been watching those consistently and feel very confident in the changes I've made. I feel like this far in our group is going to reach a lot of their goals! Stay strong everyone. No matter what the scale says you're still better off then when you started.

    Week 3 of Whole 30. It's getting much better. I have energy again, though I'm not getting the best sleep. I didn't feel like I lost much, so I was surprised at the number when I stepped on the scale. So happy to finally dip below 140!

    I feel that I haven't been walking as much this past week. So I am a bit surprised to see a weight loss.

    I hope that everyone is doing good. We can do it!!!

    The past couple weeks haven't been the most healthiest. My hubby's birthday was on the 28th of September so I indulged a little too much during his birthday week and then it was difficult to get back on track. This past Wednesday I was finally able to get a handle on things and lost the weight I put on from all the celebrating, lol. Even though I gained weight and it kind of screwed things up for me; I'm choosing to see it as a learning experience. Holidays and birthdays are a part of life, so I need to figure out a way to navigate these events without totally disregarding my healthy lifestyle. I know I will do better next time! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)
