Success: No loss this week, but no gain either. Getting to the gym most days. Thinking of getting my own treadmill. Pool is now ready and all my stitches are removed. Ready for some swim time.
Challenges: Lots of snacks around right now. Love the Doritos. Trying different crockpot recipes for chicken. Love throwing everything in and heading to the beach.8 -
Starting Weight: 195 lbs
Goal weight: 155 lbs
Current weight: 195.5 lbs
Total weight lost: +.5 lbs
Last week's successes: I kept thinking about being focused. Kept telling myself not to give up. I wasn't too hard on myself.
Last week's challenges: logging food, eating properly, time for exercise. I didn't workout as planned , at all.
Next week's challenge: sticking to my workout/food regimen to include lots of cardio, strength training, drinking more water, eating more vegetables and fruits- I don't want to start the sweet cravings again (until my birthday in two weeks, I have to figure out what my plans will be, especially to include food so I still feel like I'm in control).
See ya!
I'm gonna try staying off the scale for next 8 weeks but I will still come for checking in and checking on everyone!

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.6 -

This week's successes: Maintained another week at my calorie goal even on pizza night. Actually got full before I finished my second slice.
This week's challenges: Getting in more than 3 days at the gym. It seems everytime I'm ready to go something more important pops up that I have to do right now. One or two rest days are fine, but I would like to get more workouts in than rest days.10 -

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.1 -

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. 
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.

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.
