    A couple of lazy days in there. Disappointing after such a good week last week. I’ll try to get back on track this week and at least break 10k a day.

    :star:The Green Challenge :star: Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!! B)

    Great job in week one everyone! It's really cool to see the numbers come together and see how well everyone is doing. Just curious - is anyone else on a plan to lose really slowly? I know that's not glamorous, but my focus currently has been to eat and exercise in a sustainable way. I know I could lose more quickly, but I would also be hungry and grumpy, and much more likely to binge, or get frustrated and give up. Instead, I am eating close to 2000 calories per day (or more some weeks) and working out at least 3x weekly with resistance training. It's slow going, but steady and I love the energy I have and that I don't feel hungry or obsess over eating (or not eating). Is anyone on a similar journey? I will admit I get jealous of the multi-pound weight loss some of you are getting, by I am trying to stay focused on my journey and what I hope to be a long-term lifestyle change.

    Everyone has to take their own path. If it works for you - that is all that matters.

    Hey @lckiehl, I was one that pulled a big loss this week, but you’ll likely not see me on the list again. I’m like you in wanting slow and steady. The reason for my number was because the week before I was on my cycle and only lost 0.4 pounds, so I think my body was catching up. And big number losses for me at a very heavy weight aren’t so huge from the perspective of % of body weight.

    Anyways, I made the decision for slow and steady from my own experience. And what’s right for me, may be different for someone else because of their own experiences... Story about me: I’ve tried the fad diets and once lost 100 lbs in 6 months, but it ruined my metabolism, gave me an eating disorder, and I gained almost DOUBLE the weight back. It. Was. Not. Sustainable. I’m never doing anything like that again. I know the only way I’m going to succeed *long term* (for me, based on my experience and personality) is to make small and sustainable changes to my life. So, you’re not alone and don’t get discouraged!! And although you’re not alone, I also say it’s not worth comparing yourself to others. What matters is what you want and what works for you!

    @lckiehl Most of us are losing slowly. If someone has a lot of weight left to lose or has a lot of water weight, they might have a really big week. Other people have less accurate scales and their reported weight loss could be off (just like counting calories and exercise calorie burn isn’t an exact science, even the most accurate scale to weigh ourselves has some room for error).

    I’m only set to lose 1 lb a week, but for the past 2 I’ve maintained. I haven’t been exercising as much as I need to nor have I been eating properly (over goal most days). Back on the wagon this week though!

    And welcome to the group!

    @Dogmom1978 thanks for replying :) Its helpful to hear about others' journeys to health. Everyone is a bit different, but we all have essentially the same goal. I love the group support!
