    Challenge Start Weight: 134
    Challenge Goal: 130 and 5k

    Week 1: 134
    Week 2: 133 and 4.0km (30 mins)

    Positive thought: Two weeks without any exercise is OK.
    Healthy snack or meal: I roasted some aubergine and courgette with shallots and red pepper and some dried herbs, and then used it in my packed lunches during the week. Worked really well and meant a bit more variety than usual.
    Best workout: Ran 4.0km in 30mins
    Water challenge: I didn’t actively participate in this one because I already drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, it’s not a goal I struggle to hit.

    Comments: Kid got ill and I didn’t leave the house for 3 days. Really hard to do anything other than eat at maintenance, but I am a pound down, probably cycle related.

    Challenge Start Weight: 176.4
    Challenge Goal: 160

    Week 1: 174.9
    Week 2: 175.4

    A positive thought for the week: fluctuations are just water weight - just keep going
    Healthy snack or meal: ate fish twice this week.
    Best workout this week: none
    Water Challenge results: two days I think I got all the way to eight but mostly I was just more aware and snuck some extra water in. I think I average about 5. I know that 8 really does make a difference.

    Comments: Everybody have a great week!

    Challenge Start Weight: 130
    Challenge Goal: 120ish

    Week 1: 128
    Week 2: 128

    A positive thought for the week: water fluctuations are normal and my trend is still downward. Good daily practices will pay off over time.
    Healthy snack or meal: veggie soup with miso, tofu, and plain greek yogurt.
    Best workout this week: core and arm strength day
    Water Challenge results: around 120oz day

    Comments: trying not to drive myself crazy with the scale slowing down significantly this month. I have to acknowledge that I can't expect the same losses I experienced in the first few months now that I'm smaller and fitter.

    Challenge Start Weight: 180.7
    Challenge Goal: 169.9

    Week 1: 179.3
    Week 2: 178.4

    A positive thought for the week: Stay strong!
    Healthy snack or meal: Almonds
    Best workout this week: 16,385 steps and strength training

    Comments: I did get my calories up to a better range around 1200-1400. The scale bounced around the same one pound all week with a daily deficit of over 1000 most days. I'm hoping for a whoosh this week. :) I have a stressful week ahead and also trying to keep January completely dry so this will be a tough week.

    Have a great one everyone!

    Week 1: 139.6 lbs
    Week 2: 137.4 lbs

    Going in the right directions. Yay for me! I meal prepped this weekend. (I’ll have to weigh the food as I eat it because I just put the food in the containers.) For two weeks straight I’ve lifted 3 days in the week. I’m impressed with myself. I hope to stay afloat this week. That is all.

    Week 2 Weight: 156.2
    Goal weight: 145

    Comments: I’ve been traveling all weekend so I’m actually relieved to see that there was no major weight gain, and the period bloat is going down. Now that I’m done traveling, I’m excited to have time to stick to my meal plan.

    Same here. Meal prep and bringing my own lunch/snacks helps me stay on track. Also helps my pocketbook. I try to get everything thing into my food log in the morning and just tweak as needed during the day. By the way, you are doing great!

    Thanks! I looked and there was no edit option in the gear menu. I'm using the Android phone app so maybe there is a glitch on my end. I've noticed some other things missing that weren't when I was a member before. I may have to try reinstalling when I have more time because I can't always get on a computer.

    Challenge Start Weight: 129.4
    Challenge Goal: 115-120

    Week 1: 127.4
    Week 2: 126.8

    A positive thought for the week: The scale dropped down quite a bit towards the end of the week after getting a quick stomach bug. Recovered from that sickness and ready to start back in the gym and get back to myself! Hoping to say positive even though I know the scale will come back up due to water weight and stuff I lost during being sick!
    Healthy snack or meal: I made a ham to snack on throughout the week and incorporate in my meals!
    Best workout this week: Walking 4 miles a couple times this week in addition to gym time!
    Water Challenge results: I already drink tons and tons of water in a day so not really a goal set here!

    How do you get in your tons and tons daily?

    Start Weight: 133 (1/1/19)
    Challenge Start Weight: 131.2
    Challenge Goal: 127

    WEEK 1: 130.2
    WEEK 2: 131.2 (Say what???)

    A positive thought: Slow and steady wins the race? I can be accountable!

    I'm incredibly disappointed but I know I'm the culprit...I am going through a major upheaval at work and instead of drinking, I'm EATING---think chips, dip, Oreos, general snacks. I'm pissed at myself and need to just get back to basics.

    A healthy snack/meal: Cottage cheese. HB egg. Quaker mini rice crisps. Fruit.

    My most effective workout this week was: Clearly nothing, since I'm up a pound! Committing to doing Jazzercise 3X this week---went yesterday, so two to go!

    Start Weight: 260.0 (Dec. 2013)
    Challenge Start Weight: 238.4
    Challenge Goal: 226
    Week 1: 238.0
    Week 2: 238.0

    A positive thought: Lowest last week was 237.2 on 2 days.
    A healthy snack/meal: Beef tacos with sour cream, spinach, and cherry tomatoes.
    My most effective workout this week was: Ballet/aerobic workout and body cycle.

    Comment: I weigh everyday so that I have something to show even when the scale shows the same or more at weigh-in. Watching those fluctuations, I try to figure out what works. I find it hard to stick to calorie limit (and especially with MFP lowering it on its own on 2 days) unless I work out or have something exciting going on.

    Week 1: 132.2
    Week 2: 132.2

    A positive thought for the week: Thanks for the support last week, y'all! I did eventually catch up with (most of) my paperwork!

    Water Challenge results: did not participate

    Comments:
    I guess I'm glad I didn't gain! I've had a harder time logging consistently since reaching 135 pounds. Ordered some spanx tights, hoping they fit and are gorgeous~
