April 1;

Started : 5'10" 194lbs
Goal : 165

Feels like one of those lame excuses but I think my scale loss has slowed down because I'm gaining muscle.

Whoops, I missed last week. I was away for the holiday.

Dec 10: 190.8 I've been working really hard to be strict on days where I don't have parties this month. It's paid off, though some days I feel like I want to eat my arm off.

Dec 15: 188.8
Dec 22: 192 ah! I’m hoping it’s because it’s my TOM and I’m retaining water. Also it may have been the sweets from my sons birthday a little bit too.

Feb 2: 185.6
Feb 9: 186.2 I’ve been in a slum the past two weeks not counting calories and look where it’s got me. I promised myself I will NOT go back into the 190’s again and I’m getting too close for my comfort of doing that. I will start logging again today and stay the course! I am still here too, struggling, but here! I don’t think I’ll reach my goal in 8 weeks but I know I can get on the right track by then.
Feb 16: 187.4 hopefully just retaining water from TOM. I feel very bloated.
Feb 23: 185.4 yay finally a loss. Still have a loooong way to go though, but this helps my spirits.

Well everyone, this challenge has come to an end. Since late October when I started this challenge to now the end of March I have lost exactly 5 pounds. I couldn't stay motivated to stay on track most days. I had high hopes in the beginning. I know weight loss is a huge struggle for me and I'm not going to let this get me down. Bottom line I've lost weight instead of gained, even though it was a small amount. My biggest victory is staying under 190 since December 22nd. I told myself I wasn't going back into the 190's again and I've kept that promise. I've been maintaining between 182 and 187 for some time now. I know I will eventually get to where I want to be. It will just take time and more determination that what I currently have. My toddler takes a lot of my energy right now and I have put my kids, husband and new puppy above myself. I'm just glad I'm at least maintaining than putting on weight while my diet is more relaxed. I wish everyone well on their journey. To those of you losing steadily, keep rocking it!! I envy your will power. To those who are struggling, we will get there. Just NEVER GIVE UP!!
