Name: Deb
Age: 44
Height: 5' 7"
Starting weight: 186.0 (Jan 1, 2018)
Goal weight: 135
Current weight: 175.6
Total weight lost: 10.4
This week's successes: Getting up at 4:55am each weekday to ensure I get my morning routines done. Not eating out after work or stopping for fast food despite not having any kitchen appliances for a couple days.
This week's challenges: I didnt' get up early over the weekend. I find if I don't get up early, I don't work out. If I don't work out, I don't feel as inclined to say no to temptations. So, I had nachos and a cheeseburger at a basketball game, a cookie and a bag of movie theater popcorn on Sunday. My low weight of 173.4 on Friday crept back up to 175.6 today - salt and water gain, no doubt. I need to love doing Yoga as much as I enjoy running Couch to 5K.
Weigh-in day: Monday

Week 5
2018 Starting weight: 208.9
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 204.8
Total weight lost: 4.1
Weight lost this week: 0
This week's successes: Exercising every morning this week, and staying within calorie limit on Friday, when celebrating a friend's birthday included high-calorie junk food.
This week's challenges: I let one bad afternoon on Saturday pull me into a bad mood and a binge on Sunday. I used to binge regularly in the past and am doing much better, but it seems like I still have trouble with it every few weeks or so. Feeling pretty disappointed right now since my eating habits this weekend erased all weight loss I accomplished earlier in the week and now I'm at 0 lbs lost for this week. Seeing all of your updates and successes is making me feel less discouraged though.

I also tried new machines at the gym. It’s easy to get stuck in a routine that you like. I have started deadlifts, squats and a few others. I really think it has helped me turn things around.dembkogirl wrote: »Starting weight: 278 (11/1/17)

You are steady making progress. You are consistent. You have to be doing a lot of things right in order for that to happen. That's something to be proud about. You are doing well.

Challenge 2018 Weight Lost: 4.7
This week's successes: I decided on better lunch ideas and came up with a weekly menu to make things easier (it costs more, but better for me). Instead of just going by my daily deficit, I decided to track my weekly deficit as well - it seems to help on days where I know I'll eat over my goal (lunch meeting at work for example) but I know I can still meet my deficit over the 7 day period. I've been hard on myself on days where I eat over my calorie goal, but now I just know I really can do better without feeling like I've wasted an entire week of work.
This week's challenges: I've been unable to workout (other than seated exercises) for a couple weeks now and even though the doctor finally cleared me for light walking I find myself not enjoying it as much as I used to. I think part of it is because I can't do my normal walk/jog/run routine that I love, and also, honestly, a small part of me was starting to enjoy having excuse to not have to do much physical activity - I have to get out of that mindset though or it'll be really hard to start again when I'm able to do more (hopefully only a few more weeks!).1/6/18: 263.8

Totally agree with you with the weekly deficit. If I got daily, i will never “catch up” the calories I went over on a night out, vs if I go weekly, i can ne extra good on food and workout more the days before and after a splurge without feeling like I’m not on plan.
Hope it works for you!3 -
