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! !8 -
@MissMaggieMuffin
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.

Well, one week down!
Starting: 226
Goal: 174
Current: 223
Weeks loss: 3lbs
Total loss: 3lbs
This week success: Cutting down on breads and increased vegetable intake!
This week's challenge: late night snacking! I'm breastfeeding which makes me hungry and tired, leading to lazy food choices later in the day. I'm burning a lot of calories just from feeding the baby but I'm eating so much crap after she goes to bed for the night, giving myself little 'treats' that are screwing me over.5 -
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!!

Total weight lost: 6.4lbs
This week's successes: I lost 6.3lbs this week im so happy weighs the same as a 1 metre tall baby kangaroo. Target was 2lbs a week so im happy

Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 210.2lbs

This week's successes: I went to the gym twice this week for the full 1 hour session each time and I have written up an exercise plan with beginners FITT principles in place, Target was 2lbs a week so I'm happy because in total my goal by this week was to be 4lbs in total loss so I'm on target and will not let this week get to me - I'm also upping my gym days to 3 times per week so I'm getting the weekly recommended cardio and Resistance training per week
This week's challenges: I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend as (1) I have my son and (2) I did enough of that last weekend with my son being at granny's that's what definitely through me off as didn't eat/drink clean 2/3 days. Its also going to be hard upping my gym to one more day as with work and college and the gym so far I'm missing my son so so much but I'm doing this for him.

This week's challenges: as I was a tinny bit off target I will not have my Friday glass of prosecco when son is sleeping lol - my niece, her boyfriend and daughter are wanting me and son to go for dinner, its not the food I will struggle with that's not an issue just being the only sober 1 I don't really like drinking its just drunk people especially loved ones are the most annoying ha-ha.

Weekly Goal: Start a new round of 21 day fix and not miss any workouts
This Week's Successes: Worked out 5/7 days, even though I'm between rounds of 21 day fix. After a day of off plan foods, I went right back to my plan. No cascading chain of events.

Goal weight: 186 lbs
Current weight: 219 lbs
Week weight loss: +1
Total weight lost: 11lbs
This week's successes: The gain is not entirely unexpected as I had to work last weekend, therefore my treat day moved from Saturday to Tuesday so three less days to burn the excess off plus I've been rushed at work and grabbed a couple of wholegrain rolls and "filled" up on wheat (or overdone Hex B for SW people) and was a little "bloated" Also took inspiration from someone writing above that "weight loss is not linear", so thank you for that.
This week's challenges: Footie on Good Friday.5 -

This week's challenges: Have to turn this around.4 -
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.

Goal weight: 175
Last week weight: 210.1
This week weight: 211.2

Total weight loss: 15.2
This week's successes:
Be positive. I have a friend who logs on faceb00k almost first thing every morning these two characters: B+
I take it as a nice reminder if I am cranky, and this check in makes me cranky - just because whooshes - like last week - almost always lead to a gain the next week for me. I mean at one point this week I was down to 207.7 for *kitten* sake.
Look at this: up down up down up down. MAKES YOU CRAZY.Rant over. B+
Oh well, still on track. Week 14, 15.2 pounds down.
Checking on last week’s challenges:
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. Not quite a total failure. I am getting up and in earlier, but I am not making the 7:30 mark yet. It's a good thing 1) they need me and 2) this shift change is totally voluntary. 
2000 stair steps - hey if I can't do 1000 let's double the goal! Kicked myself in the butt yesterday to finish this. Yay! Log water. Did
I stated last week that I didn't know of any events coming up to make my life hectic. Therefore my daughter kindly obliged me and rear-ended someone. Everyone is OK. Other car is mostly OK, but we will take a hit on insurance as she is at fault and her car need about 3K of work. Time for the 22-year-old to get her own insurance.
How shall I challenge myself this week.- Tuesday to Friday get to work by 8:30. Let's try baby steps. (Monday is already a failure.)
- Keep making a point to log water.
- Do two fitness blender routines. Level not important.
- Walk the 2 mile street at least twice.
It is going to be a beautiful week weather wise. Highs in the mid 80's lots of sun. I hope all ya'll have a great week and keep being successful.
