What I've learned about myself: I worked out consistently this week! Even got up early to do it on Saturday so I could attend a fish fry at my friends house. I learned that with determination and a plan not even a fish fry needs to set me back. Feeling really positive about my weight loss this week and hope I can keep the momentum up!6 -

What I've learned about myself :3 -
@SheilaCali If I stay away from carbs and alcohol I can drop down and maintain around 137-138. My problem is if I eat carbs or have a couple of beers I can easily gain 3 or 4 pounds over night. Middle of December I was holding steady in the 130's. A couple of weeks of drinking more and eating normally and I am up 5 pounds Now it will take me a good month of being really strict to get back down. Sometimes I feel like it's a never ending battle with myself.
2 -
My weigh-in days are Mondays (usually the highest day of the week) My goal is to get between 135-138 even on a Monday by the end of this challenge and officially be in maintenance.
Current Weight: 144.4
Goal Weight:135-138
W1 12/1: 144.4 extremely exaggerated number due to Thanksgiving, 5 day weekend with lots of alcohol, TOM, and still getting over shingles
W1 12/2: 145.7 I have gained almost 8 pounds since Wednesday. Obviously carbs, sodium, alcohol, and not real weight. Hopefully be back down next week.
W2 12/9: 138.8 and I am back down. This is my best Monday weigh-in ever!
W3 12/16: 142.2 This is Tuesdays weigh-in. Forgot yesterday. We had 2 parties and a 3 day weekend. Should be down soon.
W4 12/23: 144.5 I am ready for January! This has been a rough month, lol
W5 12/30: 143.7 So ready to stop partying and eating, lol! Next week I hope to be back in the 130's
W6 1/6: 143.1 I still am not trying and am not happy with where I am right now. I am really going to try the next couple of weeks. No more excuses because of the holidays!

W1 12/1: 241.6 up .4 from yesterday, but not bad for having cooked a full thanksgiving meal for my husband and our friend.
W2 12/8: traveling. No scale available.
W3 12/13: 240.2. Down 1 pound this challenge. Was 239.8 yesterday. Actually did pretty good in Chicago last weekend. 14k steps walking around downtown on Saturday and even went on the viewing ledge on top of the Willis (sears) tower. Did not overdo the tapas friday night or the deep dish on Saturday, but definitely had my share of wine at my in-laws and snacks on the drive back to iowa. Bouncing around these 5lbs is getting a bit old, but at least i am maintaining, not gaining. I have a full week until my next Christmas, but my husband’s birthday is this week and it will be too cold to go running in sunday, i bet. Hoping for a small loss this coming week, then another small loss of maintenance over the holiday.
W4 12/22: 241.3 Didn’t post. Don’t know why.
W5 12/29: 241.3 this really has been a maintenance month. Wow. But taking into account the amount of pasta I’ve eaten this week and the sheer amount of mothing I’ve been doing, it’s surprising I’m not up. They’re opening a Planet Fitness across the street and I’m thinking of joining. I liked it when I had a membership at my old apartment, and winter is not a good time for running outside.
W6 1/6: 240.0. Down 1.3. I did end up joining Planet Fitness and had my 4th workout today. Back at school, which has been tough as one of our students was shot on New Years Day. It’s been difficult trying to help the students through this tragedy while also trying to deal with it ourselves.

Hi all, just joining in hopes of sticking with the weight loss and getting to my goal weight! I think my main obstacle is sticking with good eating when life gets chaotic. If something happens and I don't sleep well, or if I'm stressed or in a rush or traveling, the food that's in my environment will be eaten. My goal in the next few months is to get through some of those times with no weight gain. I have a long, multi-destination trip coming up from Jan 30-Feb 15, so that will be the test.

"Surviving" in Italy means eating dessert daily. Walk, walk, walk as much as you can. Carry a water bottle with you and sip all day long. My last trip to Italy was 5 weeks long, and I was good until the last week, when we travelled by car exclusively. The night before we left, I remember eating desserts (from both hands at once ) on the bed in our hotel. My resolve was completely gone. Choose what looks best and eat half- hubby can eat the rest! Besides, gelato is best when it's hot out. We only had it a couple of times during our winter vacay. Good luck and safe travels!3 -
I only started recently but focusing on being successful one day at a time, stay in the moment and don't get discouraged. Stay strong!!

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!)

W7 1/12: 237.8. Down 2.2 from last week. I was 236 yesterday, but I was dehydrated from Friday night, so it was a false low. I did 3 days at the gym this past week for 80 minutes, hoping to hit 90 minutes and maybe even a 4th day, since I have some non-student days this week (end of the semester). It feels good to be back on track after maintaining all of December.

What I've learned about myself :
Saturdays are my weakness. I like to stay up later than usual to spend time with my hubby. And then snacking kicks in. Maybe I should accept that Saturdays will be my cheat day.5 -
Well, it wasn't the way that I wanted to start this challenge but it is what it is. I did have a lot of salt last week so hopefully this is all water weight and I will be back down next week.
