Weight Loss Challenge! Out With the Old in With the New
#71
Linda, 1/2 lb is excellent! Worlds better than a gain, like me. It might not be what you're hoping for. Just make sure you are eating enough and not putting your body into starvation mode. Sometimes, as weird as it may be, people find they lose more weight when they increase their calories a bit. If I don't eat enough, I don't lose. Just a thought I had when you said you are going to restrict your portions more.
Debbie, what is DietBet? How do they verify you lost the weight? Is it an in-person group, or is it online? 4 lbs gain is definitely water weight. So glad you're not letting it get you down.
Libby, woot! woot! have fun shopping!!!
I'm down on myself. I'm up 1 lb from Monday of last week. I'm really kind of devastated. To meet my goal I've needed to lose 2 lbs/week every week, and I missed that goal this week by a lot. I'm really hoping that I can get rid of that plus more for next week. I'm not giving up though!!!! I've got to do it this time.

Sorry to hear you're feeling down about your weigh in this week. I too will have to lose close to 2 lbs. each week to hit my goal here. It's unlikely, but just like you, I'm not giving up! Who knows, maybe we'll surprise ourselves!!!?!?

I must be in between sizes. What I am wearing is too big but what is in my closet is too small. Several times I have nearly lost my pants but I was at home, lucky for me.
I am watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet being sworn in.
It's a great day for Canada.

My gawd I can store some serious water!! You'd think I'm part camel!!?! I'm down 5.6 lbs. from my Monday weight. I'm sure I'll end up retaining water over the weekend like I normally do, but hope to see the downward trend continue.

I'm up a little from my Friday weigh in but down a whopping 4.8 lbs. from my last Monday weigh in! I always go up a little over the weekend, but only .8 lbs. this weekend. I call that a win!

I just squeaked into the 70's and it makes me so happy to be at a new lower
weight. I hope to be solidly at 179 or lower by Friday. Let's all have a good week.
