    Starting weight: 173.5
    Goal weight:140
    Current weight: 159
    This week's loss: 4
    Total weight lost: 14.5

    This week's successes: Holy moly! What a loss! And I'm in the 160! I'm really busy with a work deadline so I don't have time to eat, haha! The good thing is that I have a lot of homemade food prepped in the food and freezer, so I have a bunch of healthy options :-) Yey, I'm in the 150s :smile:

    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!

Took her into a Sainsbury’s for 20 min & she passed out from exhaustion before we’d pulled out of the carpark—so it will be lots of little walks, instead of one or two really nice steady walks & I hope I can keep my activity up.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    See you all lighter.

    I believe its muscle gain instead of weight gain. Flogged my body since last saturday with exercise, at clean and within calories.. except Wednesday, but even then I was still under calories.



    This week's challenges: Stay strong and push forward, Im now stronger than I was back in January. This stupid plateau wont be the death of me.
