Okay guys, Its challenge time again. Who is with me? Memorial Day is about 7 weeks away and I am going to start this challenge off right with a doable goal of 10 pounds. I am 8 months out today and I know my losses will be continuing to slow. I used to set my goals at 20 pounds, then 15, then 13 and now 10. I want to be realistic and I am only 20 pounds from goal so I think 10 pounds is a good realistic goal for me. How about you? What will be your goal for the next seven weeks?

Challenge starting weight: 176

Current weight: 173

Challenge goal: 166

7 pounds to go!

Nothing for me this week so I need to re-evaluate food choices.

I didn't check in with my CW since the beginning of this challenge. My weight has fluctuated somewhat.

I wanted to lose 7 more pounds so my target weight loss total would be 146. Yay, we can do this or get close.

I'm in a stall. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it won't last forever, but it is disheartening to the self-competitive.

Cataracks: It is devastating when our weight's not moving. But it will. Are you drinking a lot of water. You might start if not already, taking omega 3 fish oil capsules. Eat more fish that are loaded with Omeaga 3's. I like wild caught. I don't see any benefits in eating farm raised. you can do this! look how much you've lost so far. Me I've pretty much have come to a stand still and are only losing ozs. I'm about close to my goal. So I will take whatever I can get. Hehehehehe. Hang in there.

I eat a lot of salmon, but since I have Omega 3s at home, I will take them. I've upped my Protein and will try to get more water in.

Isn't it funny how the skinny out there tell you simplistically that if you expend more calories than you take in then you will lose weight. It's true, but only partially. There are so many other factors at work.

Ounces are good. You'll get there as I will. I just want it to hurry up too much and it's counterproductive.

Still on track, by I am kind of zig zagging out of the 150s this week. I won't do a final weekly weigh in until Friday when I see my PCP.

I just want to thank everyone so much for the motivation to keep up with my nutrition this week. I really think I can hit this goal if I stay focused.

Starting weight: 292.4

Last week: 291.4

Current Weight: 292.2

Food choices and lack of exercise are definitely an issue!

I think my stall broke. I don't know if it was the higher Protein, more Water of the bit of dark chocolate I ate. Don't laugh. There are studies out there that show that it works. These 72% bars I get are are 50 grams, but look at the nutrition

I only eat 1/8 of the bar or less. It's plenty for a treat and apparently not too bad for you considering the protein and antioxidants. Those on 2,000+ diets can eat the whole bar probably. This is not an excuse to start downing the stuff by the handfuls, but a little goes a long way and it makes me happy.

Sorry dark chocolate haters. Milk chocolate is still crappy for you and has little or none of the advantages of dark chocolate.

What kind of dark chocolate bars?

I buy these, but anything dark chocolate 72% and above would be fine.

This is perhaps a little ambitious since I stall for a minimum of a week every month during my TOM, but I'm going to try!!

I meant to include this too:

Loss over last week: 2.4

Memorial Day challenge goal: 20

Memorial Day challenge loss so far: 7

5.3 weeks left to lose 13 lbs. Good luck to everyone!

I lost another pound this week, so 8 lbs lost and 12 to go for this Memorial day challenge. I need to crack down if I'm going to make it.
