    Seem to be stuck without any loss for a few weeks now - sigh! - weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear, weight loss is not linear. Repeat after me........

    You got that right! The key is to not give up, the scale will go down EVENTUALLY!

    I'm working on losing after a 3# GAIN last week. Hard work but worth it when we get the results we want.

    Starting weight: 226.4 lbs
    Goal weight: 155 lbs
    Current weight: 201.3 lbs
    Total Weight Loss so far: 25.1 lbs

    This week's challenges: I was out walking on Tuesday morning enjoying the beautiful sunrise and listening to my music when I fell and twisted my ankle. Needless to say it has been such a hard week. I haven't been able to move much at all, and was on the couch resting for all of Tuesday and Wednesday. I always eat over my calories because I exercise everyday. It was so hard to stay within my calories - I managed on Tuesday, but by Wednesday I just didn't have the determination. I was feeling very sad and sorry for myself.

    This week's success: The ankle is healing well, and I have a plan in place to start exercising again - it will be on the elliptical rather than walking, but that's ok - it will still be a great workout and I can still do it at sunrise while listening to my music! And, this way I can introduce some weight training as well. This minor setback will not stop my progress!!

    Goal weight: 186
    Current weight: 220.4

    This week's successes: Lost .6# did not make it to one pound but a loss is a loss.

    My Dr took me off all Type 2 Diabetes meds! I have been T2D for twenty five years! Diagnosed in 1992 at age 44.
    No more shots IF I continue with my healthy eating and exercise.

    Next week's challenge: Pay attention to limiting high sodium packaged foods. Get back to eating chicken and fish that I prepare at home.

    Get back to losing A POUND A WEEK! !

    You should be so freaking proud of yourself. Congratulations on this huge milestone!

    @junodog1 Thanks, yes getting off Rx is Great!. I'm getting healthier by losing weight and exercising. Seems so simple to say but so hard to do IRL.

    Appreciate your kind words.

    Looked at your post:
    "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"

    Wow over 5# is quite a whoosh!!

    I haven't had a "big" loss in a while. I'm impressed with your progress.

    See you next week!

    I'm joining the challenge late, I hope everyone does not mind. I'd gotten serious about getting back in shape on Dec 15th, 2016. I stopped drinking Diet Mtn Dew for three months, and cut back on the potato chips, those crunchy highly processed/salted bags of immediate gratification.
    Anyway, I started back on Dec 15th with the premise that life does get in the way at times. In a weekly time frame, at worst my weight is allowed to be stable, but not go up. Slow and steady weight loss is my plan. How I am eating now is how I plan to eat in the long term.

    Starting weight: 236
    Challenge Goal Weight: 199
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 175
    Current weight: 214.6
    Total Weight Loss: - 20

    This week’s successes: Got down from a weight plateau of several weeks. Its spring, working outside
    This week’s challenges: Keeping a bad back from having issues when I lift/move things around the property.
