2% Weight Loss Challenge #128

Hello everyone!

Welcome to our new 2% weight loss challenge! Post your weight at the start of the challenge or on joining the thread and your 2% goal. To find 2% of your weight multiply your weight by 0.02. Round up to whatever units your scale measures ie 0.2, 0.5 or 1.

First one to lose 2% is the winner and starts the new thread.

Good Luck!!

nightowlrn Congrats on winning the last challenge!! I am in, I ended up starting the last challenge and then ended up binging for an entire weekend and stopped posting because I had gained so much. I am back within 1 lb. of my last challenge starting weight.

nightowlrn - congrats on winning the last challenge

kfunk: you are doing awesome. I'm trying to stay within the daily points range each day and try to have quite a few free point foods - ie chicken, veggies, plain yogurt. That way when I get a sugar craving I have extra points to use. I know WW works if I stay within my points. My motivation is still not 100% but I'm working on it. How are you doing?

I'd like to join in on this one.

Welcome everyone! Go, go, go US

flower It is so nice to see you!!! I agree with you that WW works when I stick with my points. I had a really bad weekend a couple back and I didn't track a thing, but now decided that even when I go off track I at least have to track everything! The important thing is that you are still going even though your not at 100% at the moment, I have been there so many times in the past 18 months.

momtopands hiiii!!! I decided that I wont let my slip ups keep me from posting this time! I am feeling pretty stable at the moment, but that can change in the blink of an eye.

kfunk - it's nice to see you too. I agree it's a good idea to track even when you've gone off plan. I also think it's a good idea to keep posting when things aren't going well but it's sometimes hard to do that. Anyway the important thing is that we are still working at it. I am really tired of losing and gaining these last 10 lbs. I hope this time is the last time

good luck everyone

Good morning! I said that I would post the good, bad and ugly...

Kfunk - you have come so far....no ugly there. Just reality. I realized exactly 2 years ago at 202 pounds that I needed to lose rather than gain weight. I made it to around 150 a year ago and everything was going great...until it wasn't. I fault my not tracking "the ugly" with gaining 25 back last year.

I lost track of myself and what was good for me. I gained back 25 pounds slowly, but I knew I was gaining so I stopped weighing and tracking. 3 months ago, I finally got the will to stop gaining and take control again. I got serious, got out my tracking tools again, and am now 13 down with 12 to go to get to 150. I am hopeful I can manage that goal by the end of the summer. I expect to have some "ugly" weeks, but I have promised myself I won't stop tracking and trying to understand what caused the "ugly" and if it was worth it and how to adjust to the "worth it uglies"

The good news is - I met this thread's 2% goal this morning. So, we can all reset. I doubt I will win the next one, but here's to all of us for trying and keeping with it !!!!
