Height: 6'0"
Starting weight:206 (Feb 11th)
Goal weight:175
Current weight:195
Total weight lost:11 lbs.
This week's successes: Keeping at it and remembering to eat on a normal schedule.
This week's challenges: Finding time and motivation in the moment to exercise.
Finding time and remembering to exercise at the same time has been my major challenge. I feel majorly accomplished for getting my eating habits under control though. I keep detailing exercise plans, hoping to create one that is fun and sticks. Either way, trying different plans keeps me exercising! Maybe I'll just make a new plan every week and see if I can do it at least 3 times?5 -
Week 6:
This week just made me feel like a failure. I know I am not.....look at how far I have come, it is just hard to see right now. I just wish I could get people around me to understand what I go through when it comes to food. Just hoping that I can break this FUNK that I am in!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!
I have faith in you, keep going, you are worth it! The past is the past, stop beating yourself up. You made choices then. Now make good choices going forward.1 -

"I want to go thru and see how many have dropped off this thread. If I have the chance I will PM them to come back".
Would be interesting and even motivational to some to find out what percentage are either still participating or dropped out.3 -

I found it frustrating exercising and not losing so I went the other way and stopped. So while I've lost weight the last couple of weeks my belly feels a bit more wobbly. I've decided to concentrate more on exercise and body measurements over the next couple of weeks.
On another note, a 1000 calorie deficit with all that exercise- your body hasn't gone into starvation mode has it?5 -

I must agree with Toxtethogrady, I'm wondering if you're getting enough calories if you have a 1,000/day deficit. At 265, to lose 1#/week they have me at 1710. There's no way I could eat only 710 and receive all the nutrition I need. I have a MFP friend, not in this challenge, who was on 1200/day due to surgery recommendations. (She's 4+ years past surgery date). She wasn't losing, dropped her intake to 1100, still not losing. I punched in her weight and 1#/week goal and MFP recommended about 1500. After just 2 weeks of this, she's lost about 4#. If you restrict calories too much, 1) you're body goes into starvation mode and hoards calories for energy/bodily functions; and 2) you won't have any future reductions left. (I'm assuming as we lose weight, our calorie goal goes down...I don't know, not there yet). I'm by no means a dietician, this is just from personal experience over a life time of weight issues. Losing weight is a frustrating process. Isn't at all as fun as gaining was! Best of Luck, glad you're still working the program.7 -

This week's loss: 0
Total weight loss: 29.3 lbs
This week's successes: Did not lose anything, but had a large splurge early in the week - a getaway in wine country with a gastronomic restaurant. It was the Christmas gift my husband and I gave each other. While I am not up, it clearly put a temporary halt to the downward trend of the previous six weeks. Back home, I returned immediately to my new dietary regime, so hope to see progress this coming week.
This week's challenges: To up my steps and add in some additional exercise at least three days per week.9 -

This week's successes: I haven't had success since starting this challenge because I have been overwhelmed with life and didn't stick with the necessary changes. So, I gained 9 pounds and lost a lot of confidence.
This week's challenges: Starting fresh and finding something that works! I am my own worst enemy. I have a gym membership and no time to go. I know how to cook but no time to do it properly. Excuses! This week I learn to get past the excuses and make something happen!

Hands down, my favorite part about participating in this group is everyone's stories! It's fantastic and amazing to read everyone's failures and successes. It really brings me back down to earth and reminds me I'm not alone, living among perfect people living perfect lives. We're all human, and if we're paying attention, our failures are just as important as our success! Rock on everyone! Perfection is in the pursuit, never the destination!11
