    Weigh-in #4: 176.4

    A positive thought I had this week was: New start with keto!
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Hard-boiled eggs, cukes & tomatoes for lunches
    My most effective workout this week was: Just my planking. Weather has improved again, so it will be back out in the garden for more weeding this week!

    Comments: I've been struggling, so I started Keto/Atkins on Friday. It is going well and so far, no keto flu. While is it incredibly difficult keeping net carbs below 20, I'm feeling satisfied and not getting too hungry. I know that part of the induction phase is to break the sugar cravings, which is what I need to do. Gave up on intermittent fasting for now and am eating a hearty breakfast to keep me full until lunch. We'll see if this continues. Happy thoughts!

    Challenge Start Weight:59.3kg
    Challenge Goal Weight: 57kg

    Weigh-in #1:
    Weigh-in #2: 59.3
    Weigh-in #3: 58.7
    Weigh-in #4:
    Weigh-in #5: 60.3
    Weigh-in #6: 59.5

    Positive thought: As of yesterday, I am back within my calorie limit. I am fitter than I have been in a long time and in spite of the wobbly last 3 weeks, this is by far the longest and most consistent weightloss I have ever experienced.

    Healthy snack/meal: eggs - where would I be without you?

    Comments: It will take a bit of time to rebuild confidence, particularly since I have put on a kilo over the last few weeks for the first time in months. It's difficult to remember that it's not so much about tightening the reigns and pulling myself together, but rather of breathing out, being mindful of my stress levels and trusting that one step at a time is getting me where I need to be. I am leaving for Europe in mid-June. I am absolutely determined to see the number 57 by then. If I keep up the exercise and keep my calories down, it should be possible.

    Start Weight: 193 lbs
    Challenge Start Weight: 135.8 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 128 lbs

    Weigh-in #1: 136lbs
    Weigh-in #2: 135 lbs
    Weigh-in #3: away for work and no scales
    Weigh-in #4: 132.7 lbs
    Weigh-in #5: 133.3 lbs
    Weigh-in #6: 133 lbs

    A positive thought I had this week was:
    I am feeling more myself so happy which is good. I am feeling comfortable at this weight within myself, and a lot of family and friends have said to me not to lose anymore weight. So will see how the next 6 weeks go and whether I feel like I want to adjust my end goal.

    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: a big juicy mango

    My most effective workout this week was: I have been doing static workouts as my toe is still a little tender. But thoroughly enjoying the change in my routine.

    Challenge Start Weight: 134.4

    Weigh-in #1: 134.8

    Weigh-in #4: 134.4
    Weigh-in #5: 134.8
    Weigh-in #6: 134.0

    Last week I worked 6 days but I still managed to go running and do some weights. I really haven't been losing any weight and I keep telling myself its because of the strength training but I don't know how true that is. I ordered some really tiny bikini bottoms with little pineapples on them that I am going to use as motivation these next few weeks.

    That you are even thinking bikini is great. Strength training is important so keep up the good work!

    Positive thought: 20lb down since last July, and a stone since the new year! I am getting close to my pre-diagnosis weight now which is a good feeling.
    Healthy snack/meal: I made a smoothie with a pot of Skyr sour cherry yogurt, mango and strawberries for my breakfast the morning after a Chinese takeaway. It was yummy. Also had a really nice Thai-inspired chicken noodle soup with pack choi, green beans and broccoli for dinner one day. Only 400 cals and I was stuffed.
    Effective workout: Still getting over a cold, so no real workouts, but did get 17,801 steps on Saturday

    Comments: Still going over calories every day but maintaining a small deficit. Wish I could stop grazing in the evenings.

    A positive thought I had this week was:
    I am not going to get discouraged because I gained 12 pounds since leaving this group. I am so thankful this group is still going and I am going to get back to my goal weight.

    My most effective workout this week was:
    I joined a gym last moth. I try to go 5 times a week. I do the stationary bike, elliptical and treadmill. Have not ventured into any classes yet, but soon :)

    Comments: My family is going on a 7 day cruise on July 1st. It is our 25th wedding anniversary this year, so we are going to try to arrange a vow renewal at one of the ports. I HAVE to get to my goal weight for the cruise! I know it is a tough goal, but I think I can do it!

    We’re glad you’re back.

    A positive thought I had this week was: Well I made it through the week lol Scale is still going down and I'm actually almost in shock. I have been far from perfect with logging but I've been trying really hard to make conscious food choices and apparently that works!
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I've been trying to cut out restaurant meals... not fully but it had gotten to the point that I was eating out for lunch and supper most days (super busy life=convenience) I've been planning lunches and making dinners more days than not and I feel pretty good about that
    My most effective workout this week was: Just trying to get more steps in

    Comments: I'm not sure I'll make my challenge goal weight but I'm closer than when I started and I'm ok with that!
