    Are we doing SW as the SW we are now starting the challenge at? and then GW for the GW of -55lbs?

    If you want to do the starting weight as what it was was the day you started the challenge that would work :) and then your CW would be what it is when you weigh in on Friday, and then GW would be what your GW is for Sept 1st :)

    Changing behaviors:
    1. Start very small
    2. Do only one change at a time
    3. Be present and enjoy the activity - do not focus on results
    4. Be grateful for every step you take

    My change for this next week - make sure there are 2 fruits and 5 veg in the house for each day-ready to eat.

    I think this accountability will be very helpful to me. Thanks for setting it up.

    - I have been sick all week so in all likelihood a one-time large loss. Won't be surprised if I gain next week.

    I moved my weigh in day so I could be on track with the group. Not a big loss, but I'll take any number that's less than the than the previous! ;)

    Struggles/Success: These go hand in hand for me this week. Food is always my biggest struggle, especially as I shop and cook for our extended family. I was so proud of my shopping cart...until I started on the rest of the families list. I don't even like pop tarts, but boy do they look good sometimes!

    Great work everyone! :)

    My entire household has been sick on and off for the past 3 weeks. Need to get back in to exercise mode even if just 15 min to start. Happy Esster everyone!

    I gained this week do to indulging in homemade smoke fish and that time of the month should be arriving soon this weekend.

    Struggles/successes

    Struggles- staying positive, not sure how much more winter I can take. I just want to get back outside with my littles.

    Successes- inches have come off, not enough for me to drop a size or feel great but it's a awesome feeling to see the tape go down in inches. Really Keeps me focused.

    @Amay33 you are the second person I have seen on here to do inches! I think I may have to take some measurements!!!

    Struggles/Successes:
    I crush my daily calories during the week, but the weekends are hard to stay focused. Husband and kids are home, we go out, have fun, get treats, eat whatever. Need to get a handle on that!

    I have a personal goal for exercising 5x a week - the fifth day this week was BRUTAL. Anyone else struggle towards the end of the week?

    Happy Easter weekend everyone.

    Today's my first check in with this group :smile:

    SW: 192
    CW: 182.2
    GW: 129

    Struggles/Successes:

    Struggles - Because my system is still adjusting to diet changes, I'm experiencing a little constipation. Hate, hate, hate that.

    Successes: Good week - Cravings are starting to disappear. Weight is starting to come off. Finally saw some waistline improvement - one inch since I started.

    It seems like only yesterday when I started this journey. I tried starting in January but couldn't commit. It seems like it takes a horribly embarrassing clothing faux pas to finally make that happen :neutral:

    I knew my weight was getting really bad when a pair of recently purchased jeans -- that fit perfectly when I bought them -- I literally had to take them apart and adjust the waistline just to get them big enough to put on. That's when I finally felt committed.

    @alzo42 weekends are my hardest. Too much free time. I have been trying to plan snacks and my schedule a head of time. This helps with the mindless snacking

    Well I added mine up from my stomach area alone. It totalled over 15" I had to do the math a few times. I do above belly around belly and below. I still don't see it but from three places stretched out I can see why. Makes me keep giving it my all.

    CW: 268.5 (5.5lbs lost this week)
    GW: 219 (Sept 1st)

    It was a pretty good week, although I expected a bit more loss since this is my first week back on it and I have a lot to lose. But I'm happy to be down 5.5 pounds! My biggest struggle was just keeping positive and not being too restrictive because I've been at the beginning before. I lost about 50 pounds, then gained it all back, plus 11 pounds. But I'm determined to reach all my goals this time and not give up or gain it back! My biggest success was helping motivate my mom to start using MFP and get back on track!

    I started on wed and was able to lose a whole pound in 2 days! woohoo lol I had a little bit of an off day yesterday but still tried to keep my portions normal. No real exercise yet, I am still trying to adjust to my new schedule back to work after maternity leave but plan to add in 30 day shred or some sort of daily workout soon.
