Challenge SW 187
Current Weight 173
Challenge GW 167 (for this challenge)
Ultimate GW 145
I went up by .8lb this week. Not sure, but it could be water weight because of TOM and recently starting back on strength training (super sore lately) or rebound from all the excess I lost while I was sick. I won’t find out until I can weigh in again the second week of January.
I’m going to do my best but it makes me a touch nervous to go so long without scale feedback. Maybe I rely on it too much. 🤔1 -
I am in! 😁 A little lateish, but I am sure I can do it with motivation amd support.1

I thought the uptick in my last weigh in was hormonal water weight and looks like that was just what happened. I did a lot better on vacation than I thought I did and running 3 times a week really seemed to help.1 -

Everyone is doing so well! I totally fell off. I rededicated myself just after Christmas and have been making healthy choices, started a 30 day yoga challenge (on day 5 and going strong). I've realized SO MUCH of my weight loss struggles are mental and emotional. I'm taking it one day at a time, congratulating myself on my actions (diet, exercise) instead of the results (scale). The results will come if I work for them. SO PROUD of you accountability buddies for sticking with it... even when the scale doesn't tell you what you want.6

I'm down! lost 7 pounds So far and aiming to lose another stone. Want to get to my ideal weight in time for Valentine's day 😊2

My weight will go up again next week because of the lovely hormonal trials of my gender (insert eyeroll here), but the week after that I think I should reach my mini goal for this challenge.
I bought a stationary bike to give myself more options during the time I can’t get outside and run as often as I want! So hopefully that will help me keep on target through the spring.
Hope everyone is doing well and surviving the winter with SAD. I’ve managed to avoid it so far this year and it’s usually a big issue for me. 🤞🏻2 -
So interesting... I upped my exercise routine and found I'm MUCH less hungry! Check out this research that might explain it:
https://www.shape.com/fitness/tips/exercise-makes-you-less-hungry-says-new-study
Not sure I'll make 20lbs by Feb. 1st, but I made it through the holidays w/o too much damage and I'm down 13.7 lbs. 🤗

I’m inclined to agree there’s something to that. I very rarely feel like eating for a while after a run. Even if I had to go out really early and skipped breakfast, I normally end up waiting and having a late lunch because I’m not hungry. I don’t get the same benefit from my walks, but I figure at least I’m not eating WHILE I walk so it’s got to be helping some right? ;-)tthickens637 wrote: »So interesting...

My husband, however, acts like a starved lion after a run. 🤷🏼♀️
Congratulations on your loss and successful holiday navigation! 😁0 -

I made my 20! Now I am officially 20lbs out from 145, when I plan to reassess whether I should lose more or shift to recomp and maintenance. 145 is still on the higher end of the healthy range for me, but if I’m feeling happy there I don’t mind. 10 more pounds lost and I will be into the healthy weight category for the first time in at least 6 years, super stoked to be counting down to that now.3 -
