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 - Too lax on the holiday party eating but close to my milestone goal of 215 by EOY.
W5 12/29: 218.3 - Arrgh! Too many Bowl games, soft pretzel bites & beer. December was a write-off.

W6 1/5: 215 - A few days late to hit my 2019 year-end goal but I'll take the late win!
W7 1/12: 213.5 - Daily High Knees, Climbers & Flutter Kicks (Jan exercise challenge) and healthy eating are doing the job.
W8 1/19: 212.4 - Will need to move the needle faster to hit my goal by Apr 1 but still moving in right direction.
W9 1/26: 211.9 - I was 1.5 lbs lighter just a few days back (a little water weight maybe?)

W10 2/2: 211.2 - I was in the 209s earlier this week but need to clean up my Friday night & Saturday food choices!
W11 2/9: 209.7 - Despite a crazy calorie day yesterday (which I paid for), it was a good week!
W12 2/16: 207.6 - Good progress again but it will still take work to get down to 205 by end of Feb

Total loss (so far): 10.5 lbs
What I've learned about myself: I'm motivated to keep moving forward with 6 more weeks still to go!

I walked on my lunch break everyday, went to the gym three times over the week and ate healthy almost everyday. The weight loss this week isn't as great as I would have liked but I am doing all the right things to continue to loose successfully. Here is to another week of working out and eating well!

W13 2/23: 210.8 - Ouch! Went out last night for Mardi Gras celebration with friends and decided it was going to be difficult to track calories at the Cajun/Creole restaurant - and I'm sure I wanted to stay in denial a bit as well. I'm sure some of the gain is water (and beer) weight as everything was pretty salty / spicy but I was still surprised this morning. It looks like I have some extra exercise, healthy eating and smaller portions this week to get back down.

Starting Weight on 4/1/2019: 280
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: 188.4
W8 1/19: 187.8 (Slow, steady, and healthy as I get closer to my ultimate goal of 180 lbs..my setting on MFP is to lose 1/2 lb per week now. I had a really good week, exercise wise. Pushed it when I didn't feel like it at the time.)
W9 1/26: 187.4 (challenge weight loss 1/2 way point, -8.2 lbs. This is actually more than I thought I would lose by this time since I am near my goal weight. Total weight loss since April 2019, -92.6 lbs.)

W10 2/2: 185.8 (Lost more than expected this week. I didn't really change anything in my daily routine. Knowing my body weight fluctuations, I'll probably be up next week. Also, I haven't been 185 lbs since 2001! .....Keep on Truckin'!)
W11 2/9: 185.4 (Still moving in the right direction and exactly how I want to ease into maintenance.)
W12 2/16: 185
W13 2/23: 184.2 (So close to my ultimate goal weight, I can taste it. Can I hit it by my year anniversary? We shall see 🤔)

W14 3/1: 184.4 (fluctuations have been all over the map this week for me. On Friday, I was 183, then Sat I was 185.4....this morning, 184.4 ... crazy, but it's all good )

What I've learned about myself: I gave up lunch for lent, and wow I get crazy hungry before dinner. I eat a snack after 3 sometimes if I'm feeling gross. It's teaching me that I don't have to eat until I'm stuffed. My dinner portions are actually smaller now. I've also given up dessert and junk food. At this rate, I might actually make my goal!

I'm impressed with all us folks who have stayed in the game this long. It's tough to follow through on a commitment this long- kudos to us!
