    @Jimb376mfp - You got this! Go back to basics and working the plan to get to goal. Go to a meeting or two and get the stuff that is sabotaging you out of the house. Maybe get some more laps in?

    @lovesretirement
    Thanks, been going up and down and need to nail it down. I know what I need to do, thanks for the support. :wink:

    Starting Weigh 315
    Challenge starting weight 247.8
    current weight 245.2
    Week 1 245.2 - 2.6 lb weight loss
    Week 2 244.6 - 0.6 lb weight loss
    Week 3 242.0 - 2.6 lb weight loss

    An excellent week. Meetings with tons of sweets including fudge did not deter me. I could have done a bit better on exercise and am still not getting enough sleep but working on both to improve. Moving toward my next mini-goal of 240. Plan to be there in the next week or two.

    Current weight: 194 - 02/26/18
    Total weight lost: 5lbs
    This week's successes: today marks 2 weeks of being vegetarian! & challenging myself in the weight room a bit more
    This week's challenges: getting enough sleep, working two 12 hr days, getting to work earlyyyy & squeezing in 4 workouts into a busy, busy week

    (Week 6)
    Starting weight: 199 - 01/27/18
    Goal weight: 130
    Current weight: 191 - 03/08/18
    Total weight lost: 8lbs
    This week’s successes: fell off the vegetarian train last weekend but back on track! & Finally worked up the courage to do a bit of running on the treadmill (running is something I absolutely dread) and it wasn’t even that bad!
    This week’s challenges: another long work week. Also motivation is lacking. I only make myself go to the gym because I know I need to

    5'7"
    Starting Weight = 201
    Goal weight 150
    Current Weight = 197.1
    Total weight lost = 3.9
    I weigh in on Fridays

    1/5: 201
    1/12: 199.8
    1/19: 197.5
    1/26: 195.4
    2/2: 197.1
    2/9: 196.5
    2/16: 194
    2/23:192.9
    3/2: 194.4
    3/9: 197.1

    This week's successes: Following up on last week after being let go from my job (of 14 years) due to 'restructuring' and adjusting my calorie goal to a half pound.. all I have to say for successes is that I managed to exercise this week. The job search is a full time job.

    This week's challenges: Counting calories now that I have adjusted my goal, it is more important that I stick to the weighing and measuring because my margin for error is much smaller. I am pretty sure I am at the level set place now where I should start to see the numbers move downward again, more slowly, but ever downward! (I hope!)

    This week's successes: I had a calorie deficit of about 6700 for the week so I'm happy about the 1.8lbs loss. I think my body has also, finally, recovered from the antibiotics fiasco. I'm still getting a ride to/from work for now and we've decided that once the weather is nicer I'll start taking the bus home, which won't be as hard as taking it to/from work so yay!

    This week's challenges: I was finally getting back into a normal exercise routine after my leg injury, but I had to get my nexplanon taken out yesterday, so now my arm is sore and I have to "take it easy" for the next week. I'll be so grateful once my body is back to normal.
