    Yesterday was nice, hit 66.2kg/145.2 lbs...lowest I've weighed since I got big in middle school. 4-6 kg left to go, not going to be easy kg drop, but really looking forward to the tremendous difference in performance, and the upcoming tremendous change in definition that should accompany going from 13% to 6% BF.

    Awesome! Congrats!

    I know its hard, Patience ---- My weight has been up and down this week and my legs feel like concrete blocks. But I still had a good week. Just think of all the good things you did this week, compared to when you first started.

    @traceys4 .... yes! When I bought a new scale two weeks ago, it came with an Eat Smart measuring tape! It actually hooks into itself, and retracts the
    extra space, so no more guesswork! I love that. When I started taking my measurements I was like, "What's the point of this??!?" There was no way to
    do it the exact same way each time. !! Problem solved. :) (It's like this one....

    And-- I'd be nervous about weight gain, too... I'd have to find other ways to be happy about it!

    "This afternoon I started to get the munchies....."
    @beeruin .... Hooray!! So glad you made a choice that encouraged and empowered you! Nicely done! <3

    You came through with flying colors! Well done. And so much congratulations on the soda Conquer. :) Congratulations on your weight loss, too-- that's got to feel good.
    to know you're getting so low! :)

    @starfishwendy ... Ugh! I've had a fantastic 'workout' week... been well over my goal of burning 1000 calories through workouts every day, but the scale has been up .8,
    then down .4... we'll see! Hoping to come out a pound or two under!

    * * *
    As for me, my side challenges have rotted this week! I've been distracted with home stuff, and while I've been enjoying Fitbit challenges this week (one was hard won!, and
    40k steps), I haven't checked in here (Team Yellow) as I should. Did well on calories, did well on exercise, yesterday was the only day I didn't get my veggies in, and not so hot
    on water.
    Definitely need to make that a priority!!
    Feeling pretty good about the week, other than the side challenges! Haven't measured all week.... we'll see how that goes on Monday....

    I couldn't picture what you meant by hooking into itself. Thanks for sharing the link. I could really use something like this!!

    Lost a half pound this week. While my exercise was on the low side, I am still on my no dessert streak - 13 days!

    This afternoon I started to get the munchies. Had an apple but it wasn't cutting it. I decided the best thing to do was to have a protein shake. Usually I would only think of this as a meal replacement. I normally would think it was too many calories for a snack or something. After thinking about it I realized it would honestly end up being less calories and far better for me to go this route. It worked. Got the sweet fix and filled me up. I also have an extra boost of self confidence. I am proud of myself for stopping the grazing. Always my weakness.

    Well done for making this choice!! glad it worked for you x

    Hey y'all. Hope your weekend is going well. I had a small gain but hopefully it will go away quickly. That tape measure sounds cool. I've gotta check it out.

    Had a slightly better week this week than last. Things were still really chaotic but I didn't let myself get carried away or feel overwhelmed by missing some of the side challenges. Saw a little loss on the scale. :smiley:

    Last week was good, did not show at the scales. This is my fourth week Shaun T - Focus -workout, treadmill and make sure I`m well above 10,000 steps. I would like to start Sundays as a rest day and only do 1/2 stretching. I`m going to keep pushing. Have great week everyone! :)

    I'm a little sore from my workout yesterday, but that is okay. Today I start my training for pull-ups. I bought a pull up assist rope so the plan is to slowly work my way to being able to do pull ups by myself. Can you imagine how good that would feel? I have never ever been able to do a pull up, even when I was a kid.

    I have been hitting it hard. I have not missed any weight training day. Yesterday was a much needed rest day and then I road the stationary bike today. Wasn't the most intense workout, but at least burned some calories. Tomorrow will be another intense weight training day... the dreaded leg day. Oh man, I am going to be so sore. :#:s:)
