    Starting weight: 114.4 at end of August
    Weigh-in #1: 114.0
    Weigh-in #2: 113.2
    Weigh-in #3: 114.2
    Weigh-in #4: 112.4
    Weigh-in #5: 112.0
    Weigh-in #6: 112.6
    Weigh-in #7: 111.6
    Weigh-in #8: 110.6
    Weigh-in #9: 111.2
    This week's loss: +0.6
    Total Loss: -3.2

    I really ought to have started out posting with my trending weight (from Happy Scale) rather than my weight of the morning. Even though my weight was up a little this morning, my weight trend is still going downward slowly.

    I’ve been having a hell of a time. First was my car accident last week. Then this week, my husband had a bad reaction to his new anxiety medication. He got hit with literally all the side effects (extreme panic, uncontrollable shaking, cold sweats, nausea, no appetite, can’t sleep, etc). It was very scary and so we were cooped up in the house all weekend while I took care of him.

    Needless to say, with everything going on combined with how CLOSE I am to my goal, I have been cutting myself a little slack.

    Loss this week: 1.8 lbs
    Total Loss:: 15 lbs
    Goal weight: 132.5 lbs
    Goal: to lose: 1.5 per week, total of 18 lbs (by week 9: 13.5 lbs).

    Almost to goal of 132.5! I am so excited to be able to increase my calories.

    Why were you successful/unsuccessful last week? Still cannot exercise, my knee is still not fully healed. It is so frustrating, but I have resigned myself to the long wait.

    Did you stick to your goals last week?
    Yes, I did well this week. There were a couple days where I did not get my steps in, so my calorie out was not as high as I would like, but i ate within my goal every day.

    Do you plan to make any changes this week to what you previously were doing?
    I am trying to add back in other foods and eliminate some of the Medifast bars I eat. They are just so easy to throw into my bag when I leave for work. But I did buy some Quest bars and so cheese sticks and fruit.

    Best meal: chicken noodle soup with lots of different veggies thrown in.
    Worst meal: California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas. Yuck!

    I am sorry you are having such a bad few weeks, but I am really proud of you for not running to food as comfort. Prayers coming your way!

    Loss this week: -1.6

    Why were you successful/unsuccessful last week? Did you stick to your goals?
    Another loss of 1.6, was kind of hoping for more but I'll take it. Had another good week at the gym and at home- I stayed under my calories, mostly cut out snacking after dinner, and have been drinking tons of water which is why I kind of expected a bigger loss but I'm trying to be patient! I want to hit 217 by Christmas when we visit family so I think I'm just anxious.

    Do you plan to make any changes this week to what you previously were doing?
    I'm really going to crack down on my logging and try to get more protein. I changed up my macros a few weeks ago and I haven't been hitting my protein goal but I've been going over on carbs.

    Best meal: Turkey Sausage and White Bean Skillet
    Worst meal: Corn dog and a mojito (night out with friends, worth it)
    Best snack: apples
    Worst snack: mini Baby Ruth

    Sooooo I had a fun size baby Ruth last night before I weight trained....that’s a bad thing???

    You can TOTALLY lose a lb and a half a week until Christmas. Stick with what you’re doing. It’s working well for you.

    A baby Ruth is never a bad thing!

    Late check in. My kids have been sick with a virus and now I've got it too.

    Why were you successful?
    I maintained my weight through Halloween week and had some great workouts.

    Why were you unsuccessful?
    Mini Snickers

    Did you stick to your goals?
    Deficit, no. Exercise, yes. Self esteem work & positive thinking, yes.

    Changes to make this week?
    I'm feeling pretty good. I'm going to keep aiming for a deficit and see how well I can do without overly stressing about food.
