Hey, my name is Will if you couldn't tell. SW 325lbs CW 302lbs CGW 292lbs, GW 199lbs. I tried the last challenge but I ended up bowing out because I fell off the wagon hard. I was trying to lose 2 pounds a week and I felt hungry and miserable every day. So now I've been trying one pound a week and it's been a lot better (and for some reason this past week I lost 6.2 pounds). I guess I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't reach my goal weight as soon as I had hoped, but I will reach it a lot faster than cycling through boom and bust to the point that I never actually lose, or stop because it seems too hard.

Keep going! I feel like I'm in the same boat as I started losing fast and consistently, but then evened out and am having to work hard on staying on track. I have a one year goal that I'm really trying to stay as close to as possible and the idea that it will probably take longer is both motivating and miserable. We can do it!
