I'm still on for my goal of 135...around 8 pounds to go. That is also my "final" goal, so I can't wait to get there.

157 woohooo! this is another big milestone for me because i was 157 in January 2007 when I got pregnant with my oldest son. I had just lost 35 lbs in 2006. So it's really like i'm at my lowest adulthood weight kwim? and 157 is my may 3rd goal so i just need to get back to 157 after i gain a few lbs of bloat at my conference next week.

yippeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm not going to lie, I was buoyed by the number on the scale this morning. Here's hoping it will continue to move in the right direction, even if it's slowly. I tried upping my calories to a 1/2lb loss per week. I found that I started eating above my limit and slowly the # on the scale started to creep up. I found mid week numbers reaching close to 160 and even saw a high of 160.4. I've dropped back down to 1 lb loss per week in hopes that, mentally, I can manage better. If I go over (like last night) it's no big deal. For the last 2 weeks, if I went over, my mindset was "what does it matter if I eat even more, I'm already over".

I've also re-evaluated my goal and upped it from 145 to 150. This still won't put me in a healthy BMI, but I'm still looking for a level of comfort, not necessarily a number.

We'll see how this goes over the next little bit and go from there.

Group challenge - I had revised my challenge goals back in March, then proceeded to gain 2 lbs! So yes, revising again to a more reasonable number. I started out shooting for 135, then adjusted to 137, now I'm shooting for 139!
Weekly Success: A few good days/meals, at least. Not perfect, but at least better than the previous few weeks had been
Weekly Struggle: time management. short on time = less planning for healthy meals = more calories consumed
Personal Weekly Challenge: Continue to try to pre-log my food every day... seems to be the best way to keep me on track & forces me to pack my lunch!

8 lbs. in 8 weeks! Oh God! I'm so close I can taste it! I think I can do this if I really push and with the continued support from great pals like y'all. :drinker:
