So I've actually GAINED 4.4 lbs since the challenge started. As I've said a number of times here, I'm not sure how that is scientifically possible.

But whatever. I AM NOT GIVING UP. I'll eat even cleaner, work even harder. I will do whatever it takes!

Would you guys mind if I posted my daily intake here so you guys can have a look and tell me if you think I should do anything differently?

Disappointed I missed my mini goal, but I'm glad I'm losing again. Hopefully I can hit the next one! Congrats to everyone sticking with it!

Fortunately, the gain last week was water due to sodium and TOM! Sooooooo happy to reach my 138 mini goal (BARELY, but still!). :drinker:

I did really good last week, except yesterday where I ate almost an entire bag of Cadbury mini eggs :grumble: Oh well! Today is a new day and a new week and I'm getting back on track!

Congrats to those who reached their mini goal!!

Ok, this will sound weird, but even though the scale today doesn't show that I hit my mini-goal, I feel like I actually did. My scale read 200.0 on Saturday AM which seemed high given earlier readings & calories in/activity. Sunday it went up to 201.5 when I got a huge workout in, and calories still on target. Today 200.4. I think 2 things could be at play.

1. In review, the last 3 days I have eaten half of my calorie intake between 5:30-7:30. I've been so busy, I have my afternoon snack as I'm making dinner, then follow that with my dinner. So, maybe too many calories in a short time period.

2. Ok, this is entirely TMI, but certain bodily functions have not occurred since Friday, so that may be partly to blame (upping fiber & H2O today!

Now, if I don't see the scale drop significantly in the next 2 days, I'll have to investigate possible causes further!

Wishing you all a wondrous day!!1

Well, no loss this week, thanks to lots of extra family get together's this past weekend, a wake, a birthday party, and a fish fry, no excuse, but explains why I'm the same this week, darn it! I'm sure some of it is water due to salt, but the Dr Pepper and Mom's homemade fried chicken didn't help either! Ain't nothing like Mom's wonderful comfort food though when life gets crazy. Hope everyone has a great week this time!

It was a much better week than I anticipated. My daughter is sleeping through the night once again. It makes my days much better when I get an uninterrupted night’s sleep even if it isn’t long enough. Thanks to this week’s challenge I managed to read the entire book for book club. This is the first time I’ve made it through an entire book in the last 6 months. I’ll have to remember to keep doing this in the future.

MADE IT! By the skin of my teeth, maybe, but I made my mini goal! I am relieved! I was so close for two weeks, but the scale didn't move. Finally I'm losing again. I don't know, does your body have to have a resting period or something? Because there really was no difference in these three weeks. Oh well, back to working on it!

Amy....
Bodily functions have a LOT to do with your weight believe it or not. ....as for it being TMI, I don't mind that information, beings that I'm in the medical field, nothing really phases me anymore. lol

So you didn't get to 199...but I bet you reach it by the middle of this week...because it looks like you know what happened and your changing it. You got this!
