I would have been a lot more alarmed had you shown the dish 3/4 empty
And on the bright side, the inside of your oven is a h. of a lot cleaner than mine! Yeah, I'm gonna give your posst an "inspiring" click just for that!
BIG WELCOME, again, to all of you who have joined this challenge over the last several days. No worries about "joining late"...we are happy to have you here. Thank you for building the "accountability momentum" here & good luck this week (and over the next several weeks) with your efforts!

Took a few days to recover, but seems as though I weathered the holiday season fairly well. Feeling pretty good starting the new year off where I am...haven’t been in this position in recent memory. My resolution is no more yo-yo with my weight.5 -

No loss but no gain. Minding the grandchildren full time so hard to exercise. Couldn't even get out early because of the smoke from Australian bush fires. I've been staying in Canberra (where the grandchildren live) and we've had the worst air quality in the world. Diet went down on New Year's Eve and Day. Lots of excuses - need to be focussed and disciplined this week.

I understand about the wildfires, as we in CA have been through the ringer this year (again). The fires are scary, and the smoke really does change your lifestyle for the worse. You can always put on music and dance with the grandkids for a while to get a good workout! Be prepared and safe, and we're praying for rain for your part of the world.3 -

Very interesting group would love to join and give it a shot! I seem to level out at 257 and find it hard to break that number. I also love strength training as well.
Current Weight: 265.3
Goal Weight: 240.0 - April 6th
220 - ultimately would be my perfect number in my mind

Current Challenge Weight: 195.6
Goal Weight: 180 (this is my ultimate goal weight from when I started my WLJ last April. It will mark a 100 lb total weight loss. These last 15 lbs will most likely be the toughest for me, but I will give it my best shot! Good luck everyone!)
W1 12/1: 195.6
W2 12/8: 193 (upped my workouts this past week, but have been eating back all my calories...apparently not enough! I'll take it though We'll see if it holds by next week.)
W3 12/15: 191.6 (Thought for sure I would gain some back this week but reduced my salt intake and not retaining as much water now.)
W4 12/22: 192.6 (yesterday I was 190.8, but today is weigh-in for the challenge. I'm used to these wild swings. They've been happening since day one of my journey. No worries.... Merry Christmas everyone!)
W5 12/29: 192.4
W6 1/5: 189.6 (on the last day of 2019, I hit 189.8 and NORMAL WEIGHT BMI...I must have been retaining a ton of water from the holidays and even lost a little more since then, for today's weigh in. I haven't seen the 180's since 2001...Happy New Year everyone and welcome to all the new people!)

Starting Weight: 240 (July 2019)
Challenge Starting Weight: 218.1 (Dec 1, 2019)
Goal Weight: 198
W1 12/1: 218.1 - Enjoyed Thanksgiving but didn't succumb to it
W2 12/8: 217.2 - Continuing to move in the right direction
W3 12/15: 218.1 - Yikes! I need to commit to exercising harder ... starting right now.
W4 12/22: 216 - I'm getting a little too lax on the holiday party eating but close to my 2nd milestone goal of 215 by EOY so 1 more pound in 9 days seems within reach. That being said, I'm going to need to move the needle a bit faster to get down 20 lbs by April 1st.
W5 12/29: 218.3 - Arrgh! Watched The Ohio State - Clemson game last night with friends (my daughter was there as part of the OSU marching band) and I 'snacked' on way too many of the soft pretzel bites (with all that salt) making me bloated today. I'm more than a little disappointed that December is my first month of not making progress since I started trying to lose weight. With one more party on New Year's Eve ahead, I'm going to need to be on my best (mindful eating) behavior and it looks like I have an extra long workout ahead of me today.
W6 1/5: 215 - A few days late to hit my 2019 year-end goal but I'll take the belated win!
Happy New Year and best luck to everyone - we have twelve more weeks to hit our goal weight!5 -

What I've learned about myself :
Up 1lb today but I'm not worried about it. Last night I stayed up until 3am to binge watch Black List and I ended up eating a chicken salad and some roasted pumpkin seeds at 2am. Still didn't go over my calories and went over my net carb goal by 5grams only. But the bummer part is I broke my rules of 1) no snacking, 2) no eating after 7pm, 3) no going to bed after midnight, and 4) getting 7hrs of sleep. Sigh. On a good note, I walked the dog for 57 minutes at a 3miles per hour rate.
