2.2 for the week - hoping to smash this goal by getting to Onederland by Halloween and then a couple more lbs after that by the time this challenge ends. But I'll still be thrilled as long as I am in Onederland by the end of this challenge!
SW: 217.4
CW: 208.2

I may have missed this thread during last week's updates. I had an unexplained gain last week up to 209.6. I went off plan a TINY amount but the majority of gain was before that anyway, so I'm not beating myself up over it.
I was down 3 lbs for this week to 206.6. Still working my way back to my ticker weight. I'm hoping to see some additional progress and get to start moving my ticker again by next week's WI!!
Still reasonably on track to meet my 203 goal for this challenge by Nov 11. (We don't have Poppy Day here, but it's Veteran's Day)
Sorry for disappearing. I'm eating on plan, but not really exercising as I should. My weight is still bouncing around. It's very frustrating. Because my weight ping pongs around, it has taken me a month to get to 181.2, but I am determined to get out of the 180s and keep moving forward.
Great job April Snow and Josey! My weight completely baffles me. I'm down all week, then this morning my weight shot back up again. I was down to 180.1, but this morning I'm back up to 181.0. Frustrating!
Sumner, don't give up it will work out if you stick to the plan. Did you ever consider tracking through the week and then picking the lowest weight as the one to count? It works too. Reso does that and he lost over 200 lbs.
Thanks for the encouragement Josie. I thought about counting my lowest weight, but sometimes it takes more than one week for my weight to get back down to my lowest after it jumps back up. I definitely don't want to show a gain next week. I'm not sure what I should do. I guess I need to think about it.
congrats Josey, you are SOOOOO close to goal, but you keep losing steadily, which is fantastic!!
sumnerfan, I tend to have my lowest weight on my WI day because of how I structure how I eat over the course of the week. But fwiw, I think it's fine to use your lowest weight for the week if that is going to motivate you. To me, the whole reason to use the challenges and tickers is to motivate me and keep me on track. So whatever it takes to do that! When I had my recent gain (not from cheating, it just happened), I left my ticker where it was because I knew looking at the higher weight would be discouraging for me, but keeping it where it was worked as incentive for me to get back down to that number and below. And now that is where I am!
