Success/Struggles: It's been a good week. I'm not getting much chance to train on my bike outside because of the rain, but I've been consistent on the trainer, and the one day I did get outside I can tell that it's doing some good. I did have a bottomless pit day this week from the increased training, but my weight is staying pretty steady, and I finally feel back to normal after the holidays and being sick
Wishing everyone a successful upcoming week!9 -

Successes:
Lowest weigh in to date since maintenance. Not sure how that happened but I’ll take it. Blew off yoga last Sunday but rallied and worked in a class on Monday. Stuck with salad with salmon at a restaurant lunch at a literacy convention. I could have easily splurged on something heavier. I’ve also decreased my wine consumption this week (mostly ). Challenges: Had a rough time last Sunday when I learned that my father in law broke his hip and elbow. Despite the fact that the Super Bowl party was cancelled, I still made queso and ate to the point of feeling sick!
Have a great week everyone!9 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: well, seeing it all in black and white could be a bit discouraging, although i think i had a good week. My trend is clearly on the downslope, which is great. Went back to having my breakfast instead of skipping it as i was feeling hungry and low energy without it. Trying to limit the night time snacks a bit. Have been really trying to get 7 hours of sleep at night and get somewhere around 6.30-7 hours most nights according to my fitbit, so that's a big plus for me. Have a great week, everyone!9 -

Just want to give a shout-out to everyone here who shares their weekly progress. I've been following this thread, and previous months, since discovering it. It's a source of inspiration for me. Now, within 4 lbs. of my initial goal weight, I'm approaching the front door of entering this "prestigious" group. However, once my initial goal weight has been achieved, I'm going to wait some more to make sure it wasn't a morning weigh-in fluke. One person here gave me a good suggestion that I may follow. Thanks again, what you share is priceless motivation for me.10

Success of the week: My scale dropped back within my maintenance range after the first two days of the week. My trending weight has stayed in my maintenance range for well over two weeks.
Struggle of the week: I can't even call it a struggle, because it's such a tiny consideration, but I was disappointed when my scale told me I was outside of my maintenance range even just for one day, and then I had a salty couple days and started bouncing back up after closing in on the final FINAL goal weight.9 -

Successes/Struggles: Getting in my daily exercise and holding steady. That is always a win. When it's below freezing, I tend to "hike" around the world with YouTube hiking videos. I often do low-impact aerobic exercises with the videos as I don't have a treadmill/elliptical for equipment...but walking/jogging in place also works just fine. Today, I "hiked" some of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I prefer to be walking outside when temps are at least above freezing. Have a great week everyone!9 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Water retention affecting the scale. We usually eat at home, but went to Applebee's Sat after an all day robotics meet for one of the kids. It was LOADED with sodium, even the "healthy stuff." Highlight/Success: I earned my "blue belt" at my Taekwondo test on Friday night. I have about 16 months to go to get my black belt. The master instructor recognized me in front of all the students for my weight loss success and how I incorporated Taekwondo training to help me lose weight! Have a great week, everyone!14 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Hormonal weight fluctuations are finally calming down. Have been tracking again (without perfect compliance) focusing on hitting my protein goal. Midweek I decided to start actually tracking and try to stick to the bottom of my maintenance range, and not flirting with the top.
Starting the last phase of my current lifting program this week, already have my next program lined up, and I am pretty sure what I want to do after that (next one is only 12 weeks! I've been on a 9-10 month one). Fun times.10 -
@Jimb376mfp, congratulations on your golden anniversary and thanks for witnessing the sacrament of marriage until death do you part. I'm ten behind you about to celebrate 41 years of marriage. I've got time on the couch to prove it.5
