A positive thought I had this week was: FINALLY broke through 210! Felt like I had been stuck there forever.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Salads and grilled chicken
My most effective workout this week was: none
Comments: Work has been kicking my butt for the past two weeks and it's taken a toll on me mentally and physically. I decided to prioritize rest over going to the gym before work and I'm glad to see that I can control my weight through diet only (and also maybe stress
). I tried on some jeans in a size smaller than what I've been wearing hoping it would motivate me to get back in the gym, but THEY FIT. Of course I bought them and when I wore them to work THREE coworkers asked if I have lost weight! Work should be calmer this week and I'm ready to get back into my routine, but sadly I woke up yesterday with a cold. Hopefully a few more days of rest and I'll be back on track. 5 -
Week 10—
Start Weight: 132.6
Challenge Goal Weight: 126
Weigh-in #1:132.2
Weigh-in #2: 129.6
Weigh-in #3 130.6
Weigh-in #4 129.2
Weigh-in #5 127.4 Woot woot! Down 5.2!
Weigh-in #6 SKIPPED - On a cruise ship, living it up!
Weigh-in #7 129.8
Weigh-in #8 126.8
Weigh-in #9 126.4
Weigh-in #10 125.8
A positive thought I had this week was: Not sure I had any! I had a really bad week at work, and got feedback that was hard to swallow. It impacted my overall mood and I was an emotional wreck. Realized how important it is to learn how to "move on," and separate what you can. A crappy week at work won't matter a hill of beans in 5 years, or maybe even 5 weeks.
My most effective workout this week was: Carrying eleven 40 lb boxes of tile down the stairs! We had a change of heart in our new bathroom tile, and had to do an exchange. So not only did I get to carry down the stuff to return, I got to carry back up the stuff we ended up with! :-)
Comments: Two of my meals were fast food yesterday---Egg McMuffin for breakfast and two tacos from Taco Bell for lunch....and then I made a scrumptious cajun chicken pasta alfredo for dinner....Just goes to show you that one day of being a little off your game can be okay. :-)

Weigh-in#10: 137.6
A positive thought I had this week : I've noticed that a lot of ladies have stopped participating in the group and I'm glad that I've consistently checked in for 10 weeks. I think its been helpful and it went by so fast!
A healthy snack/meal I chose : For my sweet cravings I've been eating these no sugar added fruit popsicles. They are only 40 calories so they are very easy to fit into my calorie goal.
My most effective workout this week was : A run I took with my husband, he is a lot faster than I am so it pushes me to try harder than when I go by myself.

The past few weeks I haven't been super motivated to workout and I haven't been 100% honest with myself when it came to tracking. I've sorta been lacking in motivation and instead of making excuses, I understand why the scale hasn't moved too much. Fortunately, I am determined to hit the 140s within the next 3-4 weeks with a more consistent workout schedule and tracking honestly.
Overall though I am extremely happy with my progress so far. It's exciting that I am fluctuating around the low 150s... That's something to celebrate.
I definitely have to give this group credit for helping me stay accountable! 6 -

A positive thought I had this week was:
I put on a blouse I hadn't worn for a few months and when I put it on, it was so lose I had to put it back in the wardrobe. It made me smile.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was:
Homemade vegetable soup
My most effective workout this week was: A long walk in the forest, probably wasn't 'that' effective or raising heart rate but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and that is the main thing.
Comments : I am assuming I am up from last week from focusing on strength training and hopefully that means I am gaining muscle. In this session I have lost a total of 5.87% of body mass. And since my journey started a total of 28.49% of body mass and overall 32.5 inches from my body. (bust, waist, hips etc) and over 50lbs and went from a size 16 to size 8. I am content with where I am now, of course there are parts I will work on to be completely happy with, but I have found taking measurements to be invaluable as the scale doesn't reflect muscle gains etc. Losing 7 inches from my waist alone just blows my mind.6 -

I have stayed very focus on calorie deficit with food consumption as I still have not been able to exercise (yet! I will be able to start in a couple of weeks thanks to a cortisone shot in my knee: YAY!). I am pleased with this lifestyle change. This group has really kept me motivated. I am grateful to have you all to be accountable to!2 -

Not too much positivity this week. The gastroenterology I saw wasn’t too helpful - no diagnosis, nor even an attempt at ideas or explanations. I do have a gallbladder ultrasound tomorrow morning just to rule that possibility out. I started some probiotics which hopefully will help some. We’ll see.
One good thing is that I have been staying consistent with working out and doing my lifting program 3 days a week, plus yoga some evenings. I am getting stronger and looking a little more toned, in spite of my bloated belly!4 -

My most effective workout this week was: Still doing the usual but I'm now doing PT twice a week to help the hip pain. The PT has helped a lot with the stretches.
I'm so happy that eating some of my exercise calories is working out with my weight loss. I might make this challenge goal after all or pretty darn close. The support here is so very helpful. Thanks for being here. 5 -

Effective Workout - Since my trainer is on vacation this month, getting to the gym takes extra effort! So any workout I feel has been productive.
I've had some family stuff going on the last couple weeks which has caused some stressed and this site has fallen off. Anyway, I'm doing the best I can to keep moving and eating well. I missed the last couple week check-ins but I logged my weight anyway. I'm still testing foods and think I may have an issue with eggs because after about 2 days, I was feeling tired. I'll test them again later on to see how it goes. Still waiting on corn.4 -
