I am two days late with my check-in. I returned from cruise to Florida, my wonderful home, on Monday. Returned to reality on Tuesday. Getting caught up today.
Week 4
Starting weight: 226.4
Goal weight: 175
Last week weight: 222.9
This week weight: 224.9
This week's loss GAIN +2.0
Total weight lost: 1.5
This week's successes - ha! failures is more like it:
I went on a cruise and ate reasonably, but not as healthy as if I had been at home. However I have so many negatives, like I drank too many calories, I never used the gym, - therefore not a success. We were active on our one port day. Walked all over town. One success - had a great time with the hubby!
This week's challenges: I am hoping that most of the 2 pounds up is sodium, because my fingers swell like sausages on a cruise; we will see how next week's weigh in is. One of The Amazing Race challenges this week is to stay under your daily calories five out of the seven week days. That should also help me get back on track. I am having no problems tracking this week and staying under.
I challenge myself to get up in the morning at least two of the next four days and do some sort of workout before work, I mean even a 15 minute stretch video.9 -
Well it's week 5 of 2017, and I'm slooooooowly losing. The scale has been a bit of a yo-yo, but it's still going down! I started tracking how many pounds I have lost each month since I started the Atkins/low-carb way of eating:
Oct 2016: -8 lbs
Nov 2016: -4 lbs
Dec 2016: -2 lbs
Jan 2017: -3 lbs
I'm looking forward to this month and to losing some more! I have hit my first weight loss goal and am ready to tackle the next!!! Yay 220!9 -

Thanks for the tip to get a ticker. You are a real team player2 -
I weighed in yesterday:
MFP SW: 218.0
CSW: 216.0 (12/29/2016)
Current Weight: 206.8
Weekly Loss: 1.6
Challenge Loss: 9.2 (17.7% of my way to 52 pounds!)
Total weight loss: 11.2;
GW: 23% body fat initially (I just recalculated and that translates into approx 158 pounds), then go from there.
This week's successes: Logged everyday. Four workouts in six days. Recognizing when my body needs recovery days, instead of pushing it too hard and burning out. Did not use lack of sleep to fall off the wagon. Planned my food around a basketball tournament and didn’t use the tournament as an excuse to go over on calories.
Upcoming week's challenges: Just keep moving forward on all fronts. I’ve been doing great for a month, but there are still 11 months to go. I need to keep the long-term perspective in mind. I usually fall off the wagon when something gets tough around the 3-month mark. I need to keep this in mind as I continue this journey. My mantra is something like: If things get tough increase calories to no more than maintenance. DO NOT THROW PROGRESS AWAY. Know my maintenance calories for goal weight and eat that, which is still somewhat of a deficit. Also, keeping food tasty and interesting. My goal is to try at least two new healthy recipes this month. Will be looking for new ones soon.

Isn't it amazing what slow and steady weight loss can do?! We're a month in...a little less for some...and most are having success! Way to go!
If you're not having success, try to honestly log what you're eating...when I plateau, it's because I stop logging.
Celebrate your successes and shake off the setbacks. Nothing can stop you!12
