Starting Challenge weight: 165.6 lbs (1/2/19)

Current weight: 144.2 (6/26/19)

Goal weight: 120 lbs (weight loss goal of 45.6 pounds from beginning, 24.2 lbs to go)

Total challenge weight lost: 21.4 lbs in 25 weeks

This week's successes: Didn’t eat out so far this week
This week's challenges: Loss of .3 lbs this week doesn’t reflect how hard I’ve been working, but I have been eating later and sleeping poorly so hoping for better results next week. I’ve been tracking daily so I’m used to some weeks being better than others, but still frustrating when your logging and exercising daily.

Sounds like you are doing well with eating and exericise, and I'd recommend working on sleep and meal times to get a result you're happier with.

In my experience, quality of sleep and timing of meals makes a significant difference. I've shifted to eating my meals about 2 hours earlier than I used to, but when I get busy and have a later meal my weight almost always goes up the next day even if I haven't eaten extra calories. I've also worked hard to improve my sleep (if you look at how our hormones affect fat burning, sleep is really important).

Good luck

Successes: Blood test results have shown improvement in my insulin resistance - if I have the same reduction over the next three months I will be back in the "normal" range! And last week I got back to strength training, which I have a renewed commitment for.

Challenges: My daughter's birthday yesterday, decided to relax and eat some food I wouldn't normally, it was a good day, but it did pretty much wipe out my week's weight loss (yesterday morning I weighed in 1 kg / 2.2lbs lighter than this morning). Anyhoo, it only happens once a year, I can live with it.
