Week 4
Current Weight: 176.5 lbs. (80kg)
Total weight lost for challenge: 1lb. (Trying so hard not to get disheartened)
I did not lose nor gain any weight this week.
I've hit a plateau (since 3 weeks I'm swinging between 80 - 78 kg. ) And I don't know what Im doing wrong
I only do Jogging and some body weight exercises. Now I'm thinking about joining gym. Hope that will be helpful.
I know how you feel. Can you measure your progress with anything else than the scale? Body measurement or fitness level or pant size?
I made sure to take baseline of all kinds of different metrics so I don't get discouraged if the scale doesn't move.
Keep at it. That weight will come off eventually. Sending skinny vibes!
I actually do track all the measurement and look out for NSV. But when there's no or a little change I tend to get discouraged.
But thank u for sending skinny vibes I needed those

I'd love to join! I lost 102 lbs April of 2015 via Gastric Sleeve surgery. I have not gained any weight back but stopped losing. I'm ready to tweek my diet so that I can lose enough to get to my goal. I have really been inspired by you all. Great work! P.S. I just bought the Power Air Fryer Oven (also a dehydrator and bakes!) I hope this helps to make mundane meals more tasty in a healthy way!

Maybe you’ve ‘converted’ fat to muscle. Just because the scale isn’t shifting doesn’t mean your body isn’t building muscle & melting fat. Have faith. Keep up the good work & it will happen.

Last week's successes: Twice I reached more than 10.000 steps

Starting weight: 173.5
Goal weight:140
Current weight: 168.6
This week's loss: 0.7 gain
Total weight lost: 4.9
This week's successes: Again, many successes this week. I felt good. I went out 3 times with friends and still managed to be on an overall calorie deficit. And I went on a 70km bike ride in the countryside yesterday, beautiful! I gained 0.7lb though. I don't think it's a real gain, probable retaining water from the ride yesterday, but it's always a bummer to see a gain. Another success: I only weigh myself twice this week -> I'm trying not to be obsessed with the scale.
This week's challenges: Since i went out a lot, I ended up drinking quite bit. Got to make sure I get all my protein and fiber in, not just liquor! For next week, I got to keep the motivation regardless of the mini gain.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!4 -
Well i'm happy to report a no gain weekend. Love it. So now i'm out shortly to go for my walk at arena. I do a mile of laps around the ice it's not a bad walking area much nicer than walking outside for this old lady. You don't want to land on your behind at 69.
See you all lighter2 -

Starting weight: 186.0 (Jan 1, 2018)
Goal weight: 135
Current weight: 177.6
Total weight lost: 8.4
This week's successes: Getting out of hotel bed Saturday at 6am to run in the hotel fitness room and not miss my schedule for Couch to 5k. Eating a side salad instead of fries during our lunch stop on the drive to the hotel.
This week's challenges: Department outing Thursday night and then two awards awards banquets out of town Friday and Saturday night plus 10 hours in the car lead to more eating and less movement. I ended up eating more carbs - and even more sugar - than I should have. Funny how I had sugar on Saturday and I had a headache from it (or maybe it was the wine..LOL). Then I was craving sugar Sunday monring, caved and bought a donut. What's done is done and today is a new day.
