I'm not doing so well on the challenge I joined. I got sick, and then I got sick again a couple of weeks later. I've added exercising back in now and am eating well, but I'm just not losing 3+lbs per week like I would need to. I wasn't sure when I signed up that I could do it anyway, because I've done this weight loss thing before and after the first 2-3 weeks, 3lbs per week would be quite the high weight loss. I would usually lose 1-2lbs per week. But I wanted to try, and I thought the challenge would be a nice way to push myself to lose a good chunk this summer. I'm losing weight though, and that's all that matters, even if it is only little by little.
I'm still going to try to lose as much as possible to keep up with the challenge but my original goal was to lose at least 5lbs per month so as long as I'm doing that, I'll be happy. I'm about 0.9lbs away from 20lbs down! (From my start weight in January, fatsecret has my start weight as a weigh in from May when I joined.) Even more great news, I'm less than 15lbs away from my lowest adult weight ever! 175 is just that number that I've never gotten past, I seem to get down around there and lost my motivation. Not this time! And once I get lower than that, I'll have even more motivation.
I've been unable to log on lately, but now I should be able to come here more frequently.
