Now that was a super-busy week, with lots of challennges in terms of work related festivities. And lots of stress so stopped logging food. Another such week ahead, will try to not go all out on everything and get back on track soon after!1 -

Goal: 150 lbs (68 kg) by Christmas
Sept 25: 173.5 lbs (78.7 kg) Starting Weight
Oct 9: 168.8 lbs (76.6 kg)
Oct 16: 166 lbs (75.3 kg)
Loss this week: 2.8 lbs (1.3 kg)
Total loss since Sept 25: 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg)
Avg loss/week (3 weeks): 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg)
Lbs/kg to go: 16 lbs (7.3 kg)
Avg loss/week needed to reach goal (10 weeks): 1.6 lbs (.73 kg)
Weight loss is always easier the first few weeks. I realize I’ve set an aggressive goal and it will become increasingly difficult to hit that .73 kg/week. But it’s doable and I’ve committed to the task and to a lifestyle that’s working for me. Whole foods, mostly plant based. Seems that many highly processed foods don’t agree with me. Plus, I’m able to eat quite a bit and still remain within my calorie goals.

Not unhappy: stable weight despite a week of vacation with all kinds of temptations. And fall has never been my most energetic time of year anyway. In the next week I want to get back on track of loosing 0.4-0.5 kg a week. My initial plan to loose 8 kg by Christmas seems out of reach, but still possible to get to a very rewarding 4-5 kg. Let's go!1 -
@JuliaGirl132 Nice to see you here and great work! Your goal indeed seems ambitious, but it looks like you are well on your way. Keep up the good work!1

Thanks! I have a daily meal plan that I can follow for a long time, if there is not a lot of distraction. As long as I fall back on that plan, I can manage my weight and feel good. Not losing as much as I had hoped for this challenge, but still - on average - going down despite many distractions (stress, social events, autumn darkness, lack of physical activity).0 -
Went off-plan last week. As a kindness to myself, I will wait and weigh in next Sunday.
Doing better this week.
I just have to remember to stick to eating whole foods, primarily plant based (though not entirely) and avoid the highly processed stuff and wine. With that, I don't have cravings and I feel amazing. As soon as I decide to detour back to old habits for a day, it's back to cravings and less energy. I keep thinking I've learned my lesson. Hopefully, this time I will remember! Plus, I actually like the whole food fruits, vegetables, beans/legumes, grains, nuts and seeds more, Go figure.1 -
Weekly update.

Week 15 (November 20th): 94.7 kg

And lost 0.3 kg again this week, nice! Hope to reach losing a total of 4.0 kg in the coming weeks, which would be half my goal, but in a sustainable way. And seeing changes in/on my body that really motivate to continue. Feeling confident I can manage!0
