    Well, BOO on me. I haven't posted here in a few weeks. I'm still cruising along, with the exception of fatigue causing my workout frequency to drop off.

    Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 122g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. Workouts consisting of kettlebells and lifting. I also try to incorporate HIIT and Tabata as well.

    1/5/17: 213.0, -3.0
    1/12/17: 211.2, -1.8
    1/19/17: 209.6, -1.6
    1/26/17: 208.4, -1.2
    2/1/17: 206.8, -1.6
    2/9/17: 205.2, -1.6
    2/16/17: 202.8, -2.4
    2/23/17: 202.6, -0.2
    3/2/2017 201.2, -1.4
    3/9/2017 198.2, -3.0
    3/15/17: 196.6, -1.6
    3/23/17: 195.2, -1.4
    3/30/17: 193.6, -1.6

    Challenge Loss: -22.4 (43% of the way there and 29.6 to go!).

    This past week's challenge: Traveling husband, a terrible migraine, eating out last weekend since we were out of town for my son's basketball tournament and TOM. This was also the first week since I've started on my fitness/weightloss/lifestyle journey where I missed my protein target for the week, which may explain why I have felt so hungry lately. Working on correcting that! I also had a hard time getting my workouts in, but I did get in two solid workouts and had some very active days.

    This past week's successes: I certainly didn't eat perfectly, but I logged 99% of everything. I have been better taking my vitamins, but just need to make sure that I take them every.single.day.

    My upcoming week: My husband is still out of town. Story of my life lately. I am still really tired and haven't worked out as much as I would like. I don't think I'm sleeping well. I need to examine my sleep habits and get this straightened out. I'm tempted to by a newer Fitbit for this reason. I have a Fitbit One, and while it is very accurate in terms of steps, I think I may benefit from better sleep monitoring. If addressing vitamins and sleep doesn't help, I'm going to up my calories I eat each day by maybe 100-150 cals to see if that helps. When I calculate my TDEE as compared to my Fitbit burn vs what I eat + my losses, it seems I burn an extra 200ish cals per day, causing my losses to be more than expected. I'm logging very accurately, so I don't think I have a food logging issue. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm tired of being tired.

    Not really sure how to do this.
    Starting weight 259 (Feb 14)
    Goal weight 160
    Current weight 254
    Total Weight lost 5 lbs.

    Was trying to set up a challenge to walk 5000 steps a day ( I know that isn't a lot, but it was a starting point.) , but I don't think I did it correctly, so I'll do that on Fitbit site and work on weight loss here.

    This week's challenges: This week, a little disillusioned, I've only exercised once and drank booze on 3 days. Have worked a couple of night shifts though it and I do tend to lose weight when I do. Any suggestions as to what's happening and how to better it would be appreciated.

    My suggestion would be to knock off the alcohol. It is nothing but empty calories and it also chips away at your discipline to do healthy things. I Know​ it is easier said than done but, if you really want to focus on one thing that will have a big outcome, in my opinion ditching the booze will give you the most bang for your buck.

    You've missed my point. What I'm saying is I exercise and stay the same weight, have a lapsed week yet lose a couple of pounds.
