    Just saw this today, finishing up 2 weeks on MFP so here is my info. I'll probably update tomorrow since that's my weigh in day

    Starting weight: 262.6
    Goal weight: 139 (US dress size 6/8)
    Current weight: 257.8 as of March 27
    Total weight lost: 4.8
    This week's successes: I'll see tomorrow morning's scale but I went to lunch at a great place and had what I wanted but didn't stuff myself silly.
    This week's challenges: Knowing I was going to an insanely great favorite place for lunch (out of town, can't get it more than annually, if that).

    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.

    You've got to be happy with your overall weigh lose of 12 pounds. That's great!! Keep focused on the things you are doing right. If you fall off the wagon for a week and still lose it is a blessing not a sign to continue behaviors you know won't bring the results you want. Stay the course. Keep exercising and eating right. Your 12 loss over the last 12 weeks is because of the things you've done right not your lapses.

    Week 13

    Starting weight: 226.4
    Goal weight: 175
    Last week weight: 215.9
    This week weight: 210.1
    This week: 5.8 (it was a Woosh loss)
    Total weight loss: 16.3

    This week's successes:
    The numbers are back on track! Week 13 and pounds 16 = right where I want to be. I like having a few pounds buffer, but I DO NOT want to lose rapidly. Been there , done that, got the bad hair (etc) as a result. This week was a real loss, but also a woosh from all the pent up sodium and whatever else I picked up on my almost two weeks of spring break and vacation. Those days were very physical, as was the last weeked, and my eating was reasonable so I knew it was coming. I have been very unfocused on exercise since my challenge group ended, but we have been doing physical labor at home so it counts for calories out.


    Checking on last week’s challenges:
    :) Log everyday - Absolutley! The geek in me loves this.
    :) Log water – I passed for logging water but I wish I had partaken of more.
    :s 1000 stairs. - Ha! not even close
    :) Get back to work. I have been off for most of two weeks. I need to focus professionally. Yeah, I'm back at work. Made my boss happy!


    This week's challenges
    Well, I don't have any events coming up - that I know of - that will make my life hectic. Still stressing a litte about change in leadership at work. No news is good news. I have looked out at the interweb and work is out there, but I really don't want to go find it. This will be an item for me until I get my reappointment for July 1 so I have to live with it.
    Let's set up some other self imposed difficulties
    • Change my shift at work. Start two hours earlier. This will be a challenge for the next month as I try to set up a new habit.
    • 2000 steps - hey if I can't do 1000 let's double the goal!
    • Log water.

    This week's successes: Had someone say they could tell I have lost weight. It made me feel good to hear that and gave me a boost in motivation.
    This week's challenges: Same as before: drink more water and log it. I would rather drink tea :)

    03/20 - 262.6 Starting weight
    03/27 - 257.8
    04/03 - 255.6


    1 week loss = 2.2 lb
    Total loss = 7 lbs
    52 wk goal: unknown (just less than I am now)
    Eventual Goal 139

    This week's successes: Logged every day and have been looking for patterns (eg I was hungry when I haven't been and saw I didn't have a lot of fiber that day and am going to see if that is the root)

    Last week's challenges: Work is to the point I'm ready to walk out with no job (and 1 income and a mortgage). I won't overeat because of it but I worry that the stress will inhibit continued weight loss.
