This week's challenges/successes: Was hoping to get below 180 by June 15 - 6 months from starting on MFP (this time) and accomplished that. Next few weeks will be a challenge with surgery scheduled for the coming week & several weeks recovery after that. A little wound-up about the effect of inactivity, etc. for the rest of the summer but determined to stay on point.4 -

This week's challenges: Slight gain from inactivity. Pulled muscle in my leg is taking a while to heal. Traveling this week for a visit with family. 4 days in the car and a family reunion. My family is very heavy and food is the center of all activities. Staying active and away from temptation will be a challenge.
This week's successes: Back to the gym! Very limited cardio but working my way back.

Week 5: 164
Frustrated at not having lost as much this week. Didn't feel as well this week, and didn't sleep as well. Had several meals out because of work. Stayed on plan the best I could, but impacted my weight loss. Focusing on not getting discouraged and pushing through. To another week!2 -

Last Week's challenges check-in
Water Water Water
Do a work out video a friend posted – I started this video and was just not motivated to finish. It has dancing and that is not my thing. 
Bed by 11 each weeknight. Most nights 
70,000+ steps for the week 84,118 = goal met
This Week's life challenges
This week I have a work conference for four days. I will be out of town Tuesday thru Friday. The conference is worthwhile. We review annual updates, legislative, GASB, etc. and I always have valuable take-home. But the food is such a challenge. There are not good choices at snack time and I have to go to sponsored evening events with alcohol and folks carrying around tasty hors d’oeuvres. I'm girding up my loins in preparation.- Water Water Water – should help with the food control
- Bed by 11 each weeknight
- 70,000+ steps for the week
- Be considerate of my husband – he is traveling with me but has no work to do
- Finish two items on the work list 1) MIP and 2) Data Dump for I-know-who
- Unpack when I get home, not a week later.
The summer solstice 2017 (in the Northern Hemisphere) will be on Wednesday, June 21. It's all downhill from here.3 -
Starting weight: 198 lbs
Goal weight: 146
Current weight: 162.4
Total weight lost: 35.6
This week's successes: Trying to get back on track. Doing better on my eating in deficit. Did some light strength training today, first time since May 19th. Being off calorie logging and no working out since the 20th of May didn't do much damage weight wise; I have thankfully maintained, considering I am an emotional eater and it could have been very bad. Strength-wise is another story...but today was a start!
This week's challenges: My mom passed away unexpectedly on the 21st of May. I have been reeling and totally fell off the wagon for nearly a month. Hard to get motivated again because I feel simply drained emotionally and physically. I can't give up all I have worked hard for since January 1st; and I have a goal in 52 weeks to meet. Eyes forward.3 -
RayvenSkye96, I am so sorry for your loss. As I leave tomorrow to visit my 87 year old Mother, I will be cherishing the visit even more.2

Thank you tammierlewis. Give your Mom an extra hug.

That's right! You know what you have to do. Get back on track!1 -
So you're a pound behind schedule ( which is 7 pounds better than me) and still 8 bags of sugar lighter than you were in December. Keep track and keep in touch here and you'll soon be sorted!happymum55 wrote: »Week 25 and I've fallen behind! Messed about for weeks and now the same weight I was in March - 205Lb.

Week 6: 160.4
Followed my husband's advice and stayed clean this week. Avoided any meals out that I could. And it worked! Down 4lbs. I'll be out of town next week, so my goal is not to let the # creep up too much. Also, today's my last day of Whole30. Going forward, 1 cheat meal per week.
