    5/2012 HW: 268
    2018 SW: 209.0
    2018 GW: 157.0

    Week 8: 203.0
    WL this week: -3.2
    2018 WL: 6.0/52#

    Successes:. I'm still tracking everything and staying within my points. Finally got a big loss I've been waiting for! I was getting tired of all the bouncing I've been doing.

    Challenges: A new normal. DD and her 2 littles moved out last weekend. Made me sad, and relieved, lonely, and relaxed. Despite the crazy rollaer coaster, I kept tracking and didn't let being 7 WPs in the red by Sat (the official start if my week is Thurs) derail me. I made use of the new rollover option and finished my week with 5 weekly points left! Continuing to just put one foot in front of the other!

    @lilysillycat - I had pretty bad insomnia last year and the year before. Listening to sleep meditation on youtube helped tremendously. I highly recommend it. Now I'm back to falling asleep and staying asleep on my own :smile:
    Good luck! Insomnia is tough.

    This week's challenges: Skipped my daily yoga over the weekend... because I was working... But at least, I made it a point to go blow off some steam by biking in our local hills.

    Have a great day you bunches of losers!

    Starting weight: 01-16-2018 = 237.5
    Goal weight:165.0
    Current weight:232.2
    Total weight lost: 5.3 lbs
    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!

    01-16-2018=237.5

    Name: Deb
    Age: 44
    Height: 5' 7"

    Starting weight: 186.0 (Jan 1, 2018)
    Goal weight: 135
    Current weight: 171.0
    Total weight lost since Jan 1: 15.0

    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!!!)

    Weigh-in day: Monday

    01/02/18: 186.0
    01/08/18: 181.0
    01/15/18: 180.6
    01/22/18: 177.6

    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!
