Default 5 lb Challenge #262

Started a new challenge to lose 5 lbs. Just enter your starting weight, goal weight considering a 5 lb. loss, current weight and how many lbs. you have to go to reach your 5 lb. goal weight . Everyone is #1 until the weight starts to drop and you can update every day or so as you have a change. Good luck everyone! Come join in the fun!

I'm expecting a slow down so I don't anticipate winning the next challenge. I am still in the early stages of restarting LC and I always do fairly well in the first month. However, I have been trying to stick to the plan pretty closely, so maybe that is helping.

Hi everyone I just joined here today and am in my first week of Induction. Today I feel overly crappy and not sure why? Maybe I need a multi-vitamin or something? Anyway thought this challenge would motivate me to get going again. I look forward to meeting y'all...

Welcome Jenny! Don't worry about feeling "crappy". I think it's called the induction flu. If you normally ate a lot of carbs and caffeine, it sometimes takes several weeks for your body to adjust. After four weeks, even though I still have a lot of weight to lose, I'm sleeping better and have much more energy than I previously had. However, those first few weeks are a little rough.

Weekends are tough for me because I don't drink as much water and I eat differently than when working. Also, took a pretty long trip yesterday (300 miles) and today on the back of a bike which always causes me to retain more fluid than normal due to limited ability to move. I'm going to go walk now and try to get my water in before the end of the night.

Great job, Turtle, in taking the lead and getting out of the 222's. Good loss.

SlimBy30: It is frustrating, especially when you know you stayed on plan. Keep it up and you'll be in the 170's in no time!

Omablue: Every little bit helps. Those .2's add up!
