*I measure accurately in kgs and then convert to lbs, and often have rounded lbs to nearest full number, which means the conversion is not 100% accurate.
This week's successes: Stuck to my diet, exercised 5 days, and learning lots about keto which my doctor has recommended for insulin resistance.
This week's challenges: I started on metformin medication and supplements that made me feel fuzzy headed, tired, a bit yuck in the stomach, and then that combined with TTOM, so there were a couple days I didn't exercise like usual and pretty much lay around all day.
Next week's goal: Start doing some resistance training at home, make an appointment with a dietician, and keep on doing what I'm doing.4 -

Had a rough couple of weeks with the loss of a pet and adoption of four new pets - so I didn't do my best. Still lost 0.5lbs, though, so I'll take whatever I can get!3 -

This week's challenges:drink more water. Cut out wine!. Portion sizes
Weighing my heaviest ever 😑 this is the year to make positive changes and stick to them. Have a 2 yr old and 16 and 20 yr old do no excuse for not being active. After a setback last year in april when I ruptured discs I am finally at the point I can become more physically active. 😊😊
Good luck everyone. I need this challenge3 -

Last week's successes: Tracked each day so I could not deny what I ate. Did not gain weight at the fishing camp this time around. Something that I’m working on since we go there often. Less snacking and less alcohol is the key.
Last week’s misstep: Did not meet my goal of 4 AF days for the week.
This week's challenges: Traveling to San Francisco. Need to stay active, portion control & healthy choices at restaurants while monitoring my alcohol.1 -

Little disappointed in last week’s loss,. Of course I had been over a pound lower, but when weigh in Day is here I am up. Next week! Tracking and logging was good. ,just below calories most days then I ease up on weekends. Hopefully the weather warms up and I can increase my exercise.

Goal weight: 140
Current weight: 199.2
Total weight lost: 10 lbs
Last week's successes: I made it under 200!
Last week's challenges: Last week we had a few family activities that reduced the amount of time I typically have to workout. I overcame the challenge by completing workouts at home and restricting my calories a little more than usual to make up for the lower activity levels.
This weeks challenge: Overcoming the mental OMG moment when I realized how much I need to lose in order to be (a) where I was before having my daughter (who is now 5), and (b) where I need to be to have a "healthy" BMI. With hard work and determination, it will realistically take me nearly 2 years to achieve a healthy BMI.
Also -- Girl Scout cookies come in this week. That's going to be a challenge too!
(I'm the leader for 2 troops, there is no getting around cookie season!) 6 -

Maintained my weight this week, which wasn't unexpected. I had a few good days and a few naughty days, so it all balanced out.
Successes this week: I'm starting to understand my cravings better now, and I'm able to make swaps. When I want crisps, I'll eat something crunchy like carrots. When I'm craving carbs, I'll chop up and boil a potato, then sprinkle some paprika and black pepper on them, then roast it in the oven with a couple of squirts of Frylight. I'm teaching myself to wait a bit instead of instantly seeking gratification.
Challenges: Knowing that I now will not have an official weigh in until the 25th March means that I know my brain will be saying "EAT JUNK, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT", so I have to rein that in. Plus, I'm going on holiday for two weeks to a place where you get free food with every drink you order (Granada, Spain), so I need to try and make some smart choices to balance out my inevitable bad choices!2 -

This weeks challenge was that I had a hard week mentally. Have you ever been afraid to be happy you lost weight? Like you’ll wake up and it will be up 10 lb? The struggle of always being on that up and down roller coaster has made it hard to enjoy it. Hopefully during this year I will become less afraid if failing.
Goals are to keep tracking and drinking water.2 -

This is a great way to view long-term weight loss! One week of enjoying something special, like your sons birthday, isn't the end of the world. And having the attitude that its ok because it will be off next week, is perfect! Very motivating

Yup!! I'm down ~10 lbs. And my mind knows thats great, but a part of me also views the number as small and like I'm not far enough away from my starting weight to feel comfortable enough to not slide right back easily. I could gain these 10 lbs back in probably 2-weeks if I stopped paying attention to my diet and stopped going to the gym. I don't think I will feel "safe" or accomplished until I am down 30-40+ lbs.3 -

Thank you. It's just a minor bump on the road to my success!
Congrats on your loss and in making it to the 100's! :flowerforyou:
Don't even think about how long it will take you to reach your healthy BMI. I started to do that myself, but gave myself a good kick in the bum and told myself to stop it, as it can be very off-putting. I'm just setting small goals for myself and not worrying about the end goal. It will come in good time!

Sounds like a good challenge. Need something to get me going. Hopefully next week I'll be down a pound.

Plenty of weeks when my weight just stabilized, no movement in numbers.
I get hungry when I exercise and that's natural. When the cravings attack, I now eat what would give me most satisfaction within my calorie goals (whether it be junk food or fried chicken) bc I find nibbling on "healthier", lower calorie options during these times will still end up becoming a binge-fest to fulfill the satisfaction (which often do not work for me and I still end up looking for that thing I craved.... After also already eating a bunch of little things that put me way beyond over my calorie goals).3 -
