This is my 2nd round of this challenge. I was close to my goal but did not meet it. I worked on a Level 5 - 25 pounds for the last challenge and lost a total of 23.8lbs. I love the challenges because they hold me accountable and make me aware of my choices when want to eat and snack. My weigh-in day is a Friday but joining on the first.

I realized when reading your post, you have some awesome determination. Fall down, get back up and keep going. You inspired me to share a graph of my weight-loss journey (check out the next post); the key to success - through all the ups and down keep. on. going!! Great work. 👏👏
Thank you, and your journey is also amazing. I am trying hard not to give up this time. I made this my last time to get healthy for good. The past couple months I have been struggling, but I am hanging in there and not letting it get me down. Keep sticking to your plan it is working.3 -

Hi All, Well, I've returned home from my vacation in pretty good shape - no weight gain and a little loss:) Still haven't reestablished my good routines though, so my weights been all over the place. I will meet my goals for the challenge though, but not much more. Haven't returned to my exercise routine again yet, but took measurements anyway. I was surprised to see more losses. 🤗Maybe I'm burning fat while building muscle. 🤔... My stats are below. I hope you all have a great week and thanks again for keeping me so inspired - you are all awesome!!

I'm doing a 5K race this Saturday and going on vacation on Sunday so the next weigh-in will be in two weeks. The goal is to not gain any weight.
06/19 - 172.6 Slowly but surely I'm moving in the right direction. I had lots of yummy food on vacation yet stayed pretty active (tennis, weights, running, and swimming).
06/26 - out of town, no scale.
07/03 - 170.2 I'm happy with the results so far but I will have to push myself just a tad bit harder to meet my challenge goal.
07/10 - 169
I have another 5K coming this Saturday 🏃🏻♀️ Today I feel especially good about the whole process 💪
07/17 - 167.8 It was a great week for me: lots of workouts, healthy food choices, saying "no" to desserts, and being active through the day most days. All because of the race
If only I could do this every week! 
07/24 - 167 Another good week. I'd like to incorporate more mobility work and weight training in the next few weeks.2 -

Okay, this is kind of funny. I lost exactly 20 pounds and I was convinced that wouldn't happen. I lost exactly 20 pounds in the last challenge too. So weird, but I'm happy.
I still am going to drop my challenge level to 3 for the next round, so that it's less stressful.4 -
