    This will be my last post. I have been taking part in this challenge for about a year now. It was a brilliant motivator. However, I feel like it's time to switch to maintainance, for the time being at least. I'll defo come back when/if I set my goal to lose again.

    Hugs to you all xx

    Successes/struggles this week: I am constantly tired because I simply don't sleep enough; that makes me vulnerable and I give in to sweets and keeps me from wanting to exercise. I had a pizza last night shared with my son so I know there is some water retention. It could be worse but obviously also a lot better. I still think I will make it to my goal this time!

    Yes you can. Give it your best effort this one week. It does make us feel so good when we reach these mini goals. And they all add up.

    Weight -/+ this week: -3.4 lbs
    Weight -/+ this month: -6.4

    Successes/struggles this week: It's bee a good week/month because I have consciously been willing to pay the price. I also bought a new, more accurate/consistent scale; it appears my old scale was reading 1 lb high so I've probably lost 5.4 lbs thus far this month. New goal is under 200 lbs by July 20, which would represent a 50-lb loss in 12 months.

    Struggles this week: Riddle me this - Last week my fitbit workouts totaled 8.5 Hours (between 2x spinning, 2x running at least 3 miles, lunch time walks, and weight training 4-5x) IN ADDITION to getting over 10K steps a day.....today, not sure why but I am retaining weight and air and gained weight for today's weigh-in.
    Oh...and I also counted calories strictly at 1500 a day or less (due to my workouts) last week using food scale....HEELLP!

    Success: My regimen last week was ON POINT. Frustrates me and pushes me to feel defeated this week

    You're probably gaining muscle. If you've hit a plateau, you need to do something you haven't done before. So amp up the intensity and number of weekly workouts. If you're 5'1 and 139 lbs, you could probably cut down to 1,200 calories a day, too. But make sure you eat back half of the calories you expend working out. Also, make sure the calories you're eatin are nutritious. Try and adhere to macros, eat clean, no processed food, limit carbs, avoid meat with hormones, etc. Good luck!

    Weight loss is not linear. If you only weigh once a week you're losing a lot of data points and misconstruing a natural fluctuation (water weight from a hard workout / high sodium meal for example). Unless you ate like 6,000 cals over, you did not gain 1.6lb.

    (you're also not going to gain 1.6lb muscle in a week. Water, yes. Muscle, no)

    That's what my last 30 days looks like. Random high points all over the place, but overall down.
