Hurt both my knees last week so no real exercise (barely able to walk a couple of days) so I'm pretty excited that I was able to keep my diet in check and still lose this week!5 -

Eh only half a pound. This week was proof that letting myself get too stressed and fall off the wagon for a few days really shows. I was too sloppy last weekend and then the stress monday/Tuesday got to me. I am going to make this weekend better, I can't use the weekends as an excuse to go overboard and not workout. Going to search around for something outdoorsy and fun to do this weekend since the temperature will be a little better!
Ps, feel free to add me as a friend! I am looking for some friends. Could really use the support and motivation 😁 and will gladly return the favor! 🤗3 -

I’m battling some winter re-gain since I hit my low of 158 last summer. Still getting back in the groove, so as long as I keep tracking & working on my habits and the scale moves towards my goal, I’m happy. But dang it if I don’t want to hit this goal ASAP!
Friday August 2 weigh-in: 170!
I think lots was water so I’ll have to update my challenge goal. Keeping it at 1lb/week, I’m aiming for 167 now 😁

Between my run yesterday and an amazing dinner last night, I believe this is just water weight. I did manage to hit a new low last Saturday, so I’m making progress, even if my weigh doesn’t reflect it.4 -

Ugh. I feel for you since I am in the same boat. After losing about 40-42 lbs I have entered a plateau. Persistence is going to be very important for me.
Good luck!

Ok going in the wrong direction
I have been weighing in @ 228 for 6 days now, up 4 lbs. I know it's water weight because the scale jumped from 223.4 to 228.6 literally overnight. But just keep swimming.....hoping to see it back down by the end of this week.

Friday August 2 weigh-in: 170!
I think lots was water so I’ll have to update my challenge goal. Keeping it at 1lb/week, I’m aiming for 167 now 😁
Friday August 9 weigh in: 171
This was my period week, so while it’s up from last Friday, I also had a full 2.6lb gain on most of my weigh-ins this week. Hopefully I’m somewhat on track, though I did have a couple poor eating days. I’ll wait to see how next week goes before I consider this one a wash, I’m probably still a little bloated.1 -
