    This week was better, but don't go to the Pepperidge Farm outlet store when you're doing a challenge. I've had way more cookies than I should have. Still lost weight though. Yay!

    Almost didn't post here today because I am so ashamed I have gone up again this week! I am going to stay positive because otherwise nothing gets done. At least I am less today by something than my start weight. I will have a good weigh in next time!

    OP, NOTHING to be ashamed about. Life gets in the way. Just don't let these days derail your plan. You can do this!

    Lose 2 lbs a week changed to: Drink My Water (May 29)

    May15th update: Did better during the week. Will have to try to not undo progress by overindulging on weekends! Still have to figure out how to make exercise something I want to do!
    May 22nd update: Really put off posting because I don't like to admit I gained weight, but I realize I am here to be honest to help myself and others. I will try again with renewed motivation from reading your posts!
    May 29th update: Up 2 pounds this week. It is really just one pound up from my start weight. I am changing my goal of lose 2 lbs a week to Drink My Water because I lost weight when I filled up a pitcher of water and made sure I drank it throughout the day. Last week I think I ate when I really was thirsty. I want only three things to focus on as I try again!

    Goal Weight (June 5th): anything under 250 so I don't have to go up on the scale to that 250 mark.

    June 5th:

    Fitness/Health Goals: Continue to workout at least 5 days per week for at least 30 minutes per day. Also to stay within my calorie allotment for the day.

    So I guess I failed big time at the "check in weekly part" of the challenge as listed by the OP. I apologize for that. I have however been coming in daily and reading how amazing everyone is doing. I am truly impressed and motivated by all the hard work going on here. As I had initially explained, I am not going to be weighing myself until the end of the challenge since I only weigh one time per month so as not to obsess on the number. Obsessing has made me give up way too early in the game before.

    I am still working on the same goals as I posted above however at a much slower pace. I have an old knee injury that I aggravated by being way over zealous week 1 of owning my fitbit (4/14/16). It has taken me until now to get to the point where it feels decent enough most days. I am never without pain but I haven't been for the last 25+ years so it is all relative. I still wear my knee brace for any and all activity though. It seems to respond better.

    I struggle with staying within my daily calorie goal. It is a work in progress. What I can say is I am eating WAY less than I did before I started this journey 4 months ago and the quality of the food intake is far better as well.

    So we'll see what happens at my June 1st weigh-in and measure day!

    Great work team!

    I am so impressed with all the successes I have just read! Way to go pals!! I have had a couple NSV this week that I wanted to share:
    1. Yesterday I set out to go for a walk and just walk for a little bit. I was participating in the Fitbit Goal Day Challenge so at the least I wanted to meet my step goal of 5K steps. I had already done some grocery shopping and exploring a local food coop that I had never been to before, so I knew I had earned some steps there. Anyway, I did go for my walk. I walked a total of 2 miles, I met my 5K step goal while I was out, I got to visit my oldest son while walking (I walked to his house) and then back to where my car was parked a mile away. Going to visit my son was just a bonus and not at all where I mentally started out. The more I walked, the better I felt, so I kept going. This is HUGE for me because I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
    2. I was able to put on my wedding ring again for the first time in a couple years now. It has only gone to my knuckle, but now I got it all the way on. It is still a bit tight to wear comfortably, but I know that all my efforts are starting to pay off. My ultimate STG is to be able to comfortably wear my wedding ring by July 20th when my hubby and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Once I do, I will buy myself my 1st new dress since starting on this journey and I am psyched to see what size it will be!
    3. This is not a personal NSV, but it sort of is. My hubby's pants are falling off him and his shirts look like a tent on him!! As a result of everything I have been doing: cooking better, exercising more, etc and he has just been following along, he is losing some weight as well. He eats what I cook and walks with me most of the time, so there ya go!

    Nice job friends!!

    Really great work going on in here!! I am so proud of all of you!!

    I am looking forward to my monthly weigh-in/measurements/pics coming up this week on June 1st. I know I have lost something. I don't know if I will be under 250, as is my goal, although I feel like it could be. I know I have lost size (I can feel it in the way my clothes fit, although not enough to need to buy smaller just yet) and can sorta see something different about me in the mirror...

    I have another NSV I wish to share. Last Weds. our town celebrated Red Nose Day by having a fundraising walk. Basically doing laps around "The Green" (a little park area in the center of town). There was no given lap requirement or time spent. It ran from 8am-8pm. I had to be back home to work at 9am, so I got there at 8am and walked for about 40 minutes, which ended up being 6 laps. My intent was to go back when I was done work at 6pm and walk until 8pm, which I did. I silently told myself my goal was to double the amount of laps I had done in the morning since I had twice the time in the evening. I did that and more! I walked 15 laps in the evening, for a total of 5 1/4 miles for the day!! That is the furthest I have walked in many years, if ever! I am super proud of that accomplishment! I also met my all time highest step record for the day of over 15K steps!

    Keep up all your great work and I will be sure to check in this Wed. with my news.

    Fitness/Health goal: Ease back into the fitness portion once I feel better. Try not to beat myself up for resting when I'm unwell. Get more accurate with my food logging. More fruit and veggies. Less sugar. Investigate options for a trainer to start strength training.

    Fifth Weigh-in: Finally starting to get over the cold, but it's TOM, so no weight loss for me. Also, working three jobs (transitioning from one to another) means a lot of stress. I'm feeling really discouraged right now... :( I definitely won't make my goal and I've only lost 3 lbs this month. Also, a lady on the streetcar thought I was pregnant. *Sigh*

    Thank you so much! It's definitely been a challenge. I'm drinking a lot of water and working out at least once a day! Wine always sounds good at the end of a long day, but in the end it's just a lot of empty calories and feeling sluggish and bloated the next day!

    Happy Hump Day everyone.

    Have to post mid-week ... I have been .2lbs within my low weight all week so far! So, ... unless something really screws this week up ... I should be within striking distance of my goal for this challenge!!

    Come Sunday, even if I weigh-in at 150.9 I will be happy!

    Get 10,000 steps absolutely every day
    Fit in 3 runs a week in addition to my 3x a week bootcamps

    Spent the last 5 days helping my parents move & eating whatever was close by (and too much of it). I'm counterbalancing with A LOT of activity but I'm sure I've been over every single one of those days. I hit a low weight of 143 late last week so I still lost overall this week but I'm not sure I can make up enough ground to get to my goal by Sunday. I'll do my absolute best though. Let's finish strong everyone!!

As a result of everything I have been doing: cooking better, exercising more, etc and he has just been following along, he is losing some weight as well. He eats what I cook and walks with me most of the time, so there ya go!

    Nice job friends!!

    Start Weight (May 1st): 256
    Goal Weight (June 5th): anything under 250 so I don't have to go up on the scale to that 250 mark.

    June 5th: (6/1/16) 252

    Fitness/Health Goals: Continue to workout at least 5 days per week for at least 30 minutes per day. Also to stay within my calorie allotment for the day.

    UPDATE 6/2/16: So I didn't hit my goal of less than 250, but I did lose 4 lbs this month AND 3 3/4 inches so all in all, things are heading in the right direction. I have had several NSV this month as well. Although I am highly competitive and really wanted to meet or exceed my goal, I know the things I need to work on.

    Total loss during the challenge: 13.1 lbs

    So excited, this was my first challenge and it was very motivating, knowing I would be putting my results down each week was great for my focus. I had a great month, and it was no fluke, I worked damn hard at it. My diet was spot on, and I walked and walked and walked...

    I have 13.5 lbs to go until my target weight, it is really so close.

    I keep saying 'I'm losing it for the last time'. As a 20 year yo-yo dieter, I really and truly feel tired of the ups and downs. (And there have been way more 'ups' weight wise). I am spending a lot of time thinking about the behaviours that I need to change to stay at goal. I know it will be challenging and I'm planning to use myfitnesspal as a tool for support, accountability and to share my journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you like...

    Congratulations to all and best wishes.
