Happy Sunday! I am new to the group! I always enjoy these type of challenges to gain inspiration from others and to help me stay accountable. Who knows, maybe I can help inspire others as well!
I started my weight loss journey in August and while I have been successful, I know that I usually begin to plateau around month 3 and I still have a long way to go. So, hopefully this challenge will help me stay focused on my goals!

Challenges: Retaining water - probably from starting strength training with weights this week. Made for a less than optimal record weigh in. Also only lost inches in my chest...the girls are disappearing!!
Successes: Started strength training with weights, and am enjoying it...even with the sore muscles the next day. Finally got a nice paddle in yesterday after a week and half of being stuck on land - 90 minutes of joy!

A slight gain this week, I didn't really overeat so probably my body balancing out from the previous weeks high loss. I'm not stressing over it unless it becomes a trend.4 -

Think I might be in the same boat as you @escalada22 when I weigh in tomorrow...between starting to workout with weights last week (and later reading it can take up to 10 days to flush that kind of muscle water retention), my TOM being right around the corner, and having to pop ibuprofen for a sore shoulder (which apparently can also cause water retention)...I'm hoping for a miracle, but frankly expecting the worst. We'll see tomorrow, eh? Sometimes miracles do happen!0
