    Now that I’m really noticing changes, I want to keep at it,
    but I’m also getting that itch to splurge too often and too much with the justification that “I’ve earned it.”

    I soooo understand this.
    I am in the same boat.

    I am choosing to take this week as BREAK week, where I eat at maintenance calories and work out less, so I don't continue to feel deprived.

    I'll be back at it next week.

    Way to go, Syreina! Losing slowly is good,it helps reinforce good eating habits. Congrats on the engagement too. I'm going on 30 years and it's wonderful. Try bringing carrot sticks or fruit for snacks at work, to resist the machines. Keep up the great work.

    Name: It's ME!
    Age: About a year older than I was last year. You might say "middle aged."
    Height: Just under 5' 7".
    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4
    Total Weight lost: 24 pounds since January 2018
    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148

    7/6: Traveling (146.6 on 7/8)
    7/13: 144.8
    7/20: Traveling (147.4 on 7/22)

    9/28: 147.8 -- Just barely under the top of my goal range again the last three days! Trending weight is still just a tick above the top of my goal range, but let's see what I can do about that this week.... I've been injured so not riding my bike, but I think it's resolving.

    Starting weight - 249.5 - March 2017
    Lowest weight - 202 - December 2017
    Goal weight 183 (planned maintenance range 180-186)

    6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
    7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
    7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
    7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.

    8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA! :)
    8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
    8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA! :D
    8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
    8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!

    9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.
    9/20/2018 - 208.5 - Missed last week's weigh in. Up a bit today - eating too much some days, still. Need more discipline! Weights going up - so that's a positive.
    9/27/2018 - 205 - welcome to the roller coaster. Maintaining in the 204-210 range for several months now. I'm going to restrict calories for a few weeks to see if I can get a slow, steady loss going.

    10/4/2018 - 204 - YAY! Lowered my calorie target to 2000 per day. A bit of a struggle some days. Will try this for six weeks and see if I can get to Onederland.

    5'4
    SW 175 July 18th, 2018
    GW 140 by end of yr, UGW 130-135

    8/9/18 166
    8/23/18 163 (- 3 lbs in 2 weeks)
    8/30/18 161 (- 2 lbs in 1 week)
    9/6/18 160 (-1 lb)
    9/13/18 158 (-2 lbs)
    9/20/18 157 (-1 lb)
    9/27/18 155 (-2 lbs)
    10/4/18 153.5 (-1.5 lbs)

    The constant hunger and cravings seem to be getting better, for now. I am walking 2 miles per day for 3-4 days/week, on top of my daily exercise, and added a high intense 5 minute squat routine a few times a week as well. All the hard work is paying off! I could definitely eat healthier, as in my food choices but as long as I continue to keep my portions under control it should be ok. Maybe one day I will eat all whole foods, like I want to do :).

    Hola,

    7/15/18: 119.4
    8/1/18: 118.2
    9/1/18: 117.2
    10/1/18: 116.8
    10/5 /18: 114.2 - de-bloating

    Still killing it in the gym!
    Back to 24kg KB swings 5x10


    Updated again: Focusing to be at 113.2 by end of October,
    1# from my lowest weight ever!



    Amanda
    4'11"
    SW 119.4 - 7/15/2018
    lowest weight 113.2 - 10/2016
    GW#1 108.9
    GW#2 99

    I should reach my GW#1 by mid-December, and
    I would like to maintain through the Holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE).

    GW#2 will be the next Challenge.

    I am focusing on reducing body fat, shaping my booty, and achieving 8 pullups (current max is 7).
    My workouts: weight-training, yoga, and volunteer farming.
    Calories: ~1200-1500

    Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.





    The No Late Night Snack Challenge is really helping me this time.
    I used to blow all the good/hard work at night when I'd aimlessly eat hundreds of calories.
    But my current streak of no LNS is 4 days this month, and counting.

    08-16-2018 = 143
    08-25-2018 = 142
    08-30-2018 = 141
    09-04-2018 = 140
    09-10-2018 = 139
    09-18-2018 = 138
