    I love swimming but haven't been near any pools since last November! Finally yesterday got to swim! Omg only managed 20 lengths (20 mins non stop) and my arms and shoulders were done! I know working muscles hard causes little tears and water retention but I'm up 3lb this morning! Not letting that put me off ... going again today!

    Swimming is great exercise. It burns a ton of calories and works so many muscles in our body.

    Not much of a loss but not bad considering I had some days where I went over! Glad to still see progress! 💪🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

    Nice loss!

    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW (Previous Weight): 155.2 pounds (had gained 0.9 pounds) :(
    CW (Current Weight): 155.8 pounds (gained 0.6 pounds) :/
    Third week in a row that I've had a gain. :#
    Trying not to get discouraged and throw in the towel but I will admit I am teetering. :s
    Gained a total of 2.6 pounds in the course of the last 3 weeks. :'(
    I know some of the gain is my own fault from overeating, eating when I'm not hungry, eating junkfood, eating processed food, not cooking from scratch, and not demonstrating self-control.
    I know part of the gain is out of my control due to health problems, not feeling well, not being able to exercise as much, and not getting enough sleep despite attempting to.
    Still down 14.3 pounds from my highest weight in 2016 but seems piddly when at the beginning of the pandemic, April 15, 2020, I was down 37.8 pounds!
    At least I have still lost 6 out of 10 weeks since joining this challenge but not happy about gaining 4 times in 10 weeks so really need to work harder to turn things around and get my head back in the game before I totally derail and give up.
    Still need to lose 25.8 pounds to get to my goal weight. Ugh!

    I know you don't like logging food in the app but i'd recommend you try it for a week. At the end of the day weight loss is about calories in vs calories out. If you're not losing you're eating to many calories .... logging and seeing the calories you actually eat might be enlightening! Remember the 300 calories you discovered were in trail mix??? Go on, just try it! What do you have to lose? Only lbs :)

    100% yes. Logging your food is essential. I'm in Maintenance and I still log every bite.

    You've gotta ask yourself "how bad do I want this and am I willing to put in the work". If your answer is "no" then you will fail.

    That's a great practise ..... weighing food can be enlightening! I weigh everything and I can tell you now the weight is very rarely under my best guess!!! Those few extra calories soon mount up!
