My clothes are fitting better though my weight loss numbers have lagged a little bit and have been kind of bouncing around this 186.5-188 range.

Whoops, I missed last week. I was away for the holiday.
Dec 02: 192.6
Dec 10: 190.8 I've been working really hard to be strict on days where I don't have parties this month. It's paid off, though some days I feel like I want to eat my arm off.

I am still here too, struggling, but here! I don’t think I’ll reach my goal in 8 weeks but I know I can get on the right track by then.

Saw a loss last week. Felt kind of cruddy last week but I got my 10k steps in every day and went to my personal trainer for all my appointments (though I had to move leg day because man oh man was it not on for Monday.) I'm feeling much better now.

As of today 2/23, new ending goal weight of 175. I I’m going to try to lose 10 pounds by April 1st. I haven’t done well with this challenge at all. Overall I’m still down 6.2 pounds since I started this challenge in October. Better than gaining but wow have I let myself down. I’m giving it everything I have till April. Then new challenges!
