This weeks challenges: work stress 😓 long hours. Had a Chinese and lots of chocolate but moving furniture and running around so much at work is clearly using these excess calories.

I followed the 2020 challenge, and I'm looking forward to participating in this one.

Lots of good luck to everyone!

Goal weight for 2021: 196
Current weight: 227.8 lbs (5/7/2021)

This week's successes: I have successfully resisted the temptation to buy snacks at work every day this week. It was tough.

This week's challenges: Intellectually, I know that 0.2lb gain has to be water retention and food in transit, but it still stung a tiny bit seeing it on the scale. Like, at worst, I maintained this week - and that's the goal eventually, so no harm done.

I am 38, 5'4"
I was 298lbs when I started my weight-loss journey, 281lbs when I jouned MFP.
