    What I'd like to share about my progress this week: I'm basically staying in the 185-186 range, but I am ok with it. I have upped my exercise and have been eating at maintenance. Water weight has been an issue too. I was 189 the other day...crazy fluctuation but normal for me. I still want to get leaner as I get stronger and add more muscle, so I will continue my journey.

    What I'd like to share about my progress this week:
    Past my plateau! Really excited to see some progress and actual loss. Of course I have celebration with a lot of food to attend tonight but still this is a great sign after weeks of hovering around 150. I also am going back to previous eating plan to see if that helps, I seemed to have really good luck with it. I am also determined to add back in some workouts and not just the walks I have been taking. They have been taking up a lot of my workout and time and while they help its quite enough on it's own. Anyway what I mean to say I am very motivated and happy with my progress with week.

    What I'd like to share about my progress this week: Getting out on the trails with my mountain bike these past couple of weeks has helped me focus on things again and really push myself. I especially worked hard this last week. I'm eating a ton of food to keep my energy levels high, but still weighing & logging everything.

    Still bouncing around weight-wise but with the nicer weather at least I'm getting outside more with early morning jogs so we'll see if that helps.

    I've been stuck in the 205 - 210 lbs plateau for some time. I'm eating pretty healthy foods but need to bring down the portion sizes and just not getting enough high burn exercise. No excuses - I just need to commit if I really want to get down to where I want to be.

    Well, I did not meet my goal for this challenge. However I am nonetheless proud of myself for staying accountable & at least holding the line during what has proven to be a very challenging time for me for avoiding emotional over-eating and over-alcohol consumption. THANK YOU to all who accompanied me during this challenge. I look forward to seeing you out there on another challenge board. Meantime, take very good care & good luck in achieving your MFP goals!

    What I'd like to share about my progress this week: Well, I actually gained 1 lb, BUT it is A-OK with me! I also gained muscle and way more endurance and overall fitness from mountain biking and pushing myself with training 7 days a week. So, I don't consider this a loss at all. As far as weight, I am still down around 100 lbs from my all time heaviest. I'm pretty proud of my 55 year old self. Still may get leaner or not...haven't decided yet. Good luck everyone with your goals.
