@samskiB, nice work in the last month! Don't let this one week get you off your target! @Kiyomoo, did you eat a lot of salt the day you sky-rocketed? I have that when I eat sushi with tons of soy-sauce. The good news: you get rid of it easily, just drink a lot of water! Hang in there!

OK, I'm a little late to the party, but let me jump in here. I'm European so I think in k, but will calculate miles. I commute to work by bike daily (6k daily roundtrip), have a spinning bike at home (Zwift), take regular rides for chores and fun in the weekends. But 2023 miles/year (3256 k/y i.e. 8.9 k/d) is Next Level.…

Final weight on Christmas 95.4 kg. Lost 2.5 kg in total. Not the final weight I hoped for, especially last week is almost a full kg over the average of the weeks before. On the other hand: still lost 2.5 kg in the busiest and most stressful time of year, so confident that I can do it again in the spring. I'll be back! :)

@JuliaGirl132 You're doing great! Lost so much over the last months, celebrate your success!! And enjoy the last week of the challenge :-)

@JuliaGirl132 Great that you are back at the plan! I recognize the cravings: once you fall off the wagon for a day, it's hard to get on. Sometimes even after one meal, for me it happens when eating something with a lot of sugar. Must be something with insulin: after a sugar bomb insulin spikes, causing eventually that your…
