This week's successes: Increasing stationary bike workout intensity this last week and ate well under my calorie goal 4 days.
This week's challenges: Didn't get the number of workouts in that I would like. I had several after work commitments and should have tried harder to at least get a walk in during the day.
I've been MIA for a few weeks after a bout with the flu and long work hours got me out of the habit of posting here. I'm only down 1.2 lbs from week 4, but at least I'm back
Going to make a better attempt at cutting out the nightly glass of wine (oh, how I love the ritual of finally sitting down for the evening with a glass) and replacing it with a nice cup of tea.
Cheers to a great week full of clean eating and exercise!

This week's successes: Eating well and logging in every day. I didn't let a set back in my Couch to 5K program get me down; instead, I took the time to learn what the root cause might be and create an action plan to fix it. (Tight calves = achilles tendonitis - caught it early and will ensure I keep up on stretches)
This week's challenges: Had to stop running for a few days to let the flare up heal in my foot/heel. Not drinking enough water (as always!!!)

This week's challenges: start C25k,
⬆️ protein, ⬇️ carbs a must but struggling still
I'm on week 8 of C25K! Remember to really stretch afterwards (I watch youtube videos on 'after running stretches". Perhaps do yoga on your off days, too. This will help you avoid foot pain or other injuries. I had to take a short break and admittedly haven't done enough stretching. A tight calf can manifest into achilles tendonitis... Keep us posted on your progress!1 -
Should of had this here yesterday but got busy.
Starting weight 209.2

So now to keep getting more active a little at a time.
I believe I can I will.3 -

Week 8 (posting a few days late... my weigh in day is still Monday, I just kept forgetting to post this week.)
2018 Starting weight: 208.9
Goal weight: 150
Current weight: 202.7
Weight lost this week: +0.2
Total weight lost: 6.2
This week's successes: Not too many, I guess I'm doing better with binging, I haven't binged in 2 weeks! And I've been able to maintain.
This week's challenges: This last week and a half I've been pretty much off the wagon... I haven't binged but I've been barely logging food and eating a lot more sweets, and going from exercising 5-7 times a week to about 1. I am feeling better mentally though so I'm wanting to get back to logging food and exercising again.2 -

Didn’t quite hit the mark, but I am on my way. I lost 4 lbs this month in spite of the things mentioned above. I’m really happy with the results as I know 145 will happen in the next week or so. I’m losing approx 1.5lbs each week which was my goal.
If I keep up this pace, by the 4th of July, I’ll be very close to my goal weight. Between now & then I have vacations and events planned which will have an impact on this for sure, but that’s a 5 month padded timeline. As long as I keep plugging along as I am now, 129lbs by December should be far more possible than I’ve ever imagined!
Wahoo!!

Hi all weigh in only Sat. but here to share I was tops best loser last night with a loss of 5.6 lbs. I did low carbs but not to low. In between 50 and 70. Fat eats fat. Who would of thought that. After 40 years of avoiding fat as much as I could here I am eating it of the spoon lol.
@staceyvoba Great loss in two months. Keep up the good job.
@it janaya Here's a hand hop back on the wagon.
@Charloiseb Your doing great losing at a steady pace of 1.5 lbs a week.
@Battykristen Looking good your down every week.
So for me it's the start of a new week. And going to keep low carbing. And no whites. None. Having spaghetti on broccoli pretty good. Just changing my was of eating. the worst part is the sugar.
