I've lost a little more than 20 pounds since late July, but I've been slipping up lately and not hitting my calorie target as consistently as I was earlier in the process. My goal for December is to finish the year strong and get back into the "normal" BMI range (<157 lbs). Starting weight: 184.6 Start weight this month:…

I had several days last week where I ate at or above maintenance, so I'm very happy with today's number. I hope it sticks. I would love to break into the 150's by the end of the year. Challenge starting weight- 167.9 10/23- 167.9 10/30- 166.7 11/6- 164.7 11/13- 163.2 11/20- 164.4 11/27- 163.6 12/4- 162.6 12/11- 161.9…

@kellyswimmer, I've been having a similar problem. I'm pretty comfortable at my current weight, and I have "diet fatigue" from all the tracking, meal planning, etc., so my motivation is slipping. I may take a maintenance break toward the end of the month to avoid burning out and falling back into old habits. I'd really…

@ellie117 Congrats on your loss so far! Are you using a food scale? (I thought I might recall seeing a post from you on another thread saying you're not, but my apologies if I'm confusing you with someone else.) If you're not, it's probably worth considering as you get closer to your goal weight. The video below gives a…

I enjoyed Thanksgiving and then got back on track. Glad to see the scale cooperate! I'm not going to hit my original weight loss goal for this challenge, but I am hopeful I can get back into the 150s.

I've stayed on track the past few days after nearly a week of off-plan eating. That off-plan period may have set me back a week or so, but the important thing is that I'm back to it. I'm not planning to restrict my eating on Thanksgiving or the day after (still with family with limited control over food options), but I…

Oops, I got very busy at work this past week and forgot to post! I also ate way too much takeout while stuck at the office. I'm getting back on track today, at least until Thanksgiving at the end of the week... Challenge starting weight- 167.9 10/23- 167.9 10/30- 166.7 11/6- 164.7 11/13- 163.2 11/20- 164.4 11/27- 12/4-…

I figured I'd share this in case it's helpful for anyone else to see, especially folks who weigh in once per week. The graph below shows my weight each morning since the start of this challenge. My diet has been consistent throughout. No single number is worth dwelling on because they are all over the place. The downward…

I crossed the "20 pounds lost" mark this past week, so that was a nice milestone. Only 6.3 pounds to go to reach a "normal" BMI and 8.6 pounds to go to reach my goal of losing 30 pounds this year...

I weigh myself daily because I like the data and it doesn't mess with my head. The daily numbers have been full of ups and downs, but my Wednesday numbers keep coming in nice.

I had a good week. I'm within 10 pounds of a "normal" BMI (but with a pretty high body fat percentage), so I'm not expecting huge losses each week.

I'm in too! I lost a little more than 15 pounds this summer, then focused on maintenance for 4 weeks during extended travel. I am now home and ready to lose some more weight. My goal was to lose 30 pounds this year, and I have 13.3 to go. Finishing by Christmas would be nice. Challenge starting weight- 167.9 10/23- 167.9…

Thanks for organizing this challenge! I adjusted the dates slightly to fit my schedule better.
