    Week 2

    Starting weight: 88.1kg (194.2)
    Goal weight: 65-75kg (143-165)

    Current weight: 86.4kg (190.5)
    This week Lost: 0.4kg (0.9)

    Challenge weight lost: 1.7kg (3.7)

    This week's successes:     - How a week makes a difference. Went from on top of the world to really challenging
    The scale was not moving at the same rate which lead to a mood change. Ended up bingeing on some chocolate on Friday night and went over my calories. On a positive, I logged everything and was still in an average of 500/day deficit. Need to trust the process.

    Next week's challenges:
    Trust the Process

    Starting weight: 186.0
    Goal weight: 135
    Current weight: 180.6
    Total weight lost: 5.4
    This week's successes: Getting up at 5:20am Thu/Fri/Sat <--yes I said saturday! to do The Miracle Morning. What a difference this program will make. I am excited to wake up early and start my day off right. It's meditation, affirmations, visualizing, exercising, reading, and scribing - every day.

    This week's challenges: Not feeling discouraged because the scale barely moved - I *know* you're not supposed to attach so many emotions to a friggin' number but still. Granted, my weekend was hard - a night of playing cards with family resulted in eating lasagna, cheesebread, and a cupcake. Eating two meals out with friends resulted in more carbs than I should be eating.

    Non scale goals: Run 3 5K's and a 10k in the fall. Compete in 50 mile endurance rides on my horse.
    When I reach my WL and NS goals: Buy a carbon road bike so I can FLY...(I miss riding bike; don't own one anymore)

    Weigh-in day: Monday

    01/02/18: 186.0
    01/08/18: 181.0
    01/15/18: 180.6 :/

    Never too late to join in! A pound a week is the Goal no matter how many weeks it takes.

    @timechanging
    As for cutting and pasting directions I’m a 69 yo with minimal IT technology skill but I put my finger on my iPhone screen and then hit copy and then go to new post and touch screen and select Paste.

    Any millennial on here may be better to ask or explain “How To”...
