Sorry I kind of crapped out on this at the end... came down with pneumonia and it threw me for a loop for a couple weeks.

While it was nice to see that under 180 weight... for the last 3 weeks I have been hanging out at 180 or 181. I will check measurements tomorrow night or Wednesday to see if any change is happening there. I think I may be at my body's new set point? This is where I have been for just over 1 month now.

I made a jamaican banana bread recipe - rum flavor, lime and coconut in it - delicious!

Hope you get to feeling better.

After every weekend at the cabin, I need to say this to myself. At least this time it was less than 2 pounds...

I know this is how I should think about food... And yet... this is how I really think of food...

1. Calf raises while distributing the mail at work 2.Increase reps in the weight room (from 8-10 to 15-20) 3. Increase weight in the weight room (from BW or 10# DB to BW +20# DB or 15# DB) 4. Use the upstairs bathroom at home 5. Walk on the track at work twice this week

I hope everyone is staying strong - I was out of town for a work trip for a few days... happy to be back to it now!

I am ready to step it up for these final 4 weeks before my 50th! Better nutrition and better exercise... I am still down just about 20 # from when my challenge started... would love to make that a solid 25 for sure.

Day 5 2 egg omelette again. Red pepper green pepper yellow onion baby bella mushroom swiss cheese with fresh strawberries on the side

Day 3 mixed fresh fruit pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and fresh carrot

Finally I get to post on of these pictures... goodbye 200s goodbye 190s and now goodbye 180s, may I never see you again!

And for Friday the 13th, how about a little humor? I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Enjoy your life, and be proud of your accomplishments!

Day 2, not sure if this will count. Fresh fruit salad, strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, banana blackberries

Day one- 2 egg omelette with red and green bell pepper, fresh spinach, baby bella mushrooms, yellow onion and swiss cheese - with a side of strawberries

This one made me smile... it is so true for me!

Measurement day again today. I am starting the Summer Sizzle challenge tomorrow so I took my measurements again, 15 days from when I did them last. While my weight is not down much, I have lost another 3 inches over all. It is satisfying to know that the work I am putting in is making a difference even if not on the scale…

I requested access but still can not get to it... sorry

Are we to put our overall goal weight or just challenge goal weight?

Sometimes these voices are pretty loud ... you know? Have to make this voice louder!

OK - so I am going to have to admit that I will not meet that next goal weight before my birthday... with only 5 weeks left and 14 pounds still to go it is not going to happen (not without some "fad" super fast weight loss strategy, I am not willing to go there - has to be real for me)... makes me sad and mad that…

OK - So maybe I am not the only one who needs some encouragement now. To all my MFP friends struggling with a lack of progress on the scale, or facing challenges in their discipline to this new lifestyle...WE CAN DO IT!!!

I need this reminder today... weight is not coming off anymore.... keep on keeping on!

I just went back in to my settings and changed to losing 1 pound per week. It changed my target calories to 1,440. I am not eating back my exercise calories either, so was truly eating 1200 calories almost everyday but had at least 200 in exercise calories that could have been eaten also. I will see what the increased…
