    Ugh... Isn't that frustrating?!? Keeping close track of food and weight has helped me through those 'Whaaaat???' times. Knowing that I'm doing what I need to do, assures me that my body is too! Next week will be different:)

    Challenge starting weight 192.2
    Challenge level ❤️❤️❤️
    End of challenge goal 177.2

    2/05: 192.2
    2/12: 189.6
    2/19: 190.8 (out of town)
    2/26: 190.4 (sick-couldn’t exercise)

    Must admit I’m a bit frustrated with this pace...unless I can pick it up I won’t be meeting my goal.

    Challenge this week is an out of town trip tonight for a hockey game and a couple of restaurant meals before coming home tomorrow. Am hoping to balance enjoying a beer at the game and a yummy treat meal with good choices and more movement the rest of the week.

    Challenge Starting Weight 2/9/19: 168.6 lbs
    Challenge Level: 2- 10 lb loss
    Challenge Goal weight: 158 lbs

    2/18/19: 165.8 lbs
    2/26/19: 164.2 lbs

    I am so far on track to surpass my goal! No doubt there will be hiccups and stalls as usual, but I'll get there eventually.

    Goal for this week: lift weights twice and foam roll daily to help my runner's knee.

    You've still lost two pounds since joining, and that's not something small! It's okay if you don't end up meeting your goal all the way, as that progress is still progress. I think you're doing great. You'll be able to eat those meals and still be able to get back on track afterwards. I hope you have fun :)

    1st Mar - 276 - This last week is the first week where my motivation and determination have just gone. I've been fighting some major cravings and urges to binge this week.
    I suppose it's a little natural to be disappointed that there isn’t a 2lb weight loss, but given the week I had it’s actually amazing that it’s a 0.2lb loss.
    I’m trying not to think too much into it. As hard as the battle inside my head was this week at least I didn’t give in to the cravings and have not put weight on.
    I’m feeling better now than I did so looking forward for the upcoming week. I’ve got a PT session tonight and they always make me feel amazing. So hopefully I’m off to a great start.

    You've lost 12 pounds just in one month! Our weight fluctuates all the time. It's normal for it to "stand still" for a while. It doesn't mean your progress is halted, though! You've done extremely well and at this rate, you will be meeting your goal. That's some awesome work.

    Also this is the first time in over 5 years I’ve been this weight and before that I was heavier and didn’t last long below 208. So the last time I can really remember being this weight for longer than a couple months is probably sometime around 2010 or 2011. Excited to see how far I can go. I’m scared I won’t ever make it to my UGW of 140-150 but I can’t give up!

    @RileyHeavy 15 pounds in a month! That's a lot. So long as you stick with what you're doing and don't give up, you can certainly reach your long-term goal.

    Went up to 172 at the end of 2017 (Christmas etc), but have lost that again. I am very close to my goal, so weight is dropping very slowly, but I would so like to hit my goal before my 73rd birthday in April. Also working on muscle toning at the moment, which isn't helping the scale but should even out eventually.
    Definitely not going the way I want, probably because I have been working hard on my strength. Maybe it's one of the things I just have to accept while I am toning up. It's swings and roundabouts!
    Daily Health/Fitness Goals
    • Currently on Week 6 of a 10 week Boditrax Course at our local gym. (I won it at a raffle at a heavily discounted rate)
    • Daily step goal is 9000. I do 15+ strength most days, targeting specific areas, and Yoga/Tai Chi for flex.
    • I eat 90% 'clean/healthy' food and adhere to CICO. I do extra exercise to earn extra calories if I want treats.

    Did ok this week considering... I battled overeating and still lost a little!! I think Im going to change my deficit from 1000 a day to 750. I'd rather stick with a sustainable slow and steady pace, than go hungry then binge. This might mean I need to change my goal level - we'll see. 🤷‍♀️ So I'll check-in again next week and KEEP ON KEEPING ON! KOKO everyone🤗

    Challenge Starting Weight: 171
    Challenge Level: 🤸🏽‍♂️💃🏼🏃‍♀️🙅
    Challenge Goal weight:150

    Have a great week everyone...

    Weekly check-in:

    2/1: 171.1
    2/8: 168.3

    5/1:

    I shoot for 10000 steps per day, 6 days per week and 3 solid workouts per week (strength training, rowing, aerobics, etc). I also shoot for a 1000 calorie deficit per day - which meets my goal of 2 lb loss per week (1 lb of fat = 3500 calories). Looks good on paper, but not so tidy in reality (a lot of up and down:). My main goal is to 'Keep on keeping on - koko.' I know slow and steady will win this race!!

    Holy cow!! You are doing great!!! I know what you mean about being afraid you won't be able to keep the gains, but that was the old you. Now you're the new improved version.🤗
