23lbs loss
Did the scales 3 times, then did a wobbly happy dance & did the scales again to make sure..
Congratulations on this formidable loss!! Wow!! Just, wow!! I am glad you said you weighed yourself three times, because I would have suggested a reading error!! (I hope it's not the battery!) Although that sort of loss is not normal, you have been eating at a deficit and you have been ill, both contributing factors. Is there anything else you did differently this past week? Did you eat any different types of foods? Please share!!!

Just a slight uptick this week....you had a big loss last week, so sometimes the body just evens things out!! Stick with the program and you'll see another loss on your next weigh-in!!1 -

Today's 1 pound gain was the result of a somewhat stressful last week that was completely off from my normal routine. Yesterday, rounded out that week with only a few hours of sleep Saturday night. This week, while not a completely normal schedule, should be far better and the cortisol levels more normal.
Also this week, I had already planned to change things up a bit. I will be more focused on a strength training schedule and on better success with weekly meal planning and execution of said plan.
I share your pain of not sleeping...it's not fun, and everything else suffers because of it!! Best of luck with your new training schedule and meal planning. Change can be good! (hugs)2 -

Thank you for all the encouragement last week. I tried to really focus on making better food choices for the most part, and not eating treats just because they fit in my calories for the day.
I'd say whatever you focused on worked like charm!! You dropped your slight gain from last week and then some!!! Well done, and glad you are back on track!!!2 -
Today I started my couch to 5k made it through day 1 round 1 with 42 min of activity and my Fitbit at 14,000 steps and counting5

Hey, way to go!! Day one, under your belt!!0 -
You are doing great, team! I’m happy for all of your weight loss and effort with the mini challenge! I didn’t do well at all this weekend, between birthday parties and my kids getting sick, I just kinda put myself on the back burner. You know how we do, moms. Today I am tracking again and have a good workout planned for this afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good Monday so far!
That's the great thing about Mondays...we get a fresh start every seven days!!!1 -

Just sticking to under 1500 (a couple of days at 1000ish as well), eatting lots more raw veg, and thinking about if I'm actually hungry or just bored..2 -

The walking and eating at a deficit is definitely working....another two pounds!! Fantastic!!
No doubt the stress of the ‘big day’ is a contributing factor, but hopefully this is something I can maintain.
I have a goal to wear a particular dress this Christmas Day. I last wore it in 2012 (before my last kid) and brang it with me to Australia when we moved. I’ve decided either I wear it this Christmas or I get rid of it...and I really want to keep it

I'm doing a couch to 5k as well! I start Week 3 tomorrow. I never thought I would be a person who likes running (well, in my case jogging) but it is growing on me! Which app do you use? I am doing Zombies Run! The story is entertaining!
(Funny aside: I told my mom about the app and she just didn't understand the concept. She says zombies aren't real so what am I running from? Then she asked why didn't the developers make the app called Dogs Run! She stated that she is more likely to run from a dog than a zombie lol. I get my pragmatism from her.)3 -

Okay, that made me laugh a little....your mom wants to be really terrified for her life if she is going to run, apparently!!!1 -

I like your goal dress idea. I have one of my own. I bought a dress at an outlet store in September that was probably two sizes too small. My goal was to wear it at Easter, and if I had continued with my weight loss since December, instead of reversing the trend, I would have, probably, been able to. I am just now thinking about when I could wear it next...if I lose the weight. My son is best man for his buddy who is getting married in early September. We won't be invited to the wedding (there is a lot of family on both sides), but I would love to go to the ceremony. I could wear it there. So, just over 5 months to lose, I don't know, 20 pounds? There. I have put it in writing!!!2 -

Not the "fun" kind of exercise, but the kind that leaves you with a clean house, so the "win/win" kind of exercise!!1 -
