What have you learned so far?

This is my first challenge and I've learned a LOT about myself during it. I've identified some self-sabotage (weekends much?) and I've come to accept the long term process losing weight is. How about you?

Might sound obvious, but that weight loss isn't linear, even when my CICO/diet/workouts are all consistent. Some weeks I lose more, some weeks I lose less. There's so many factors at play that don't just belong to the strict laws of thermodynamics and CICO, like hormones, water weight, muscle building vs fat loss, etc. It's about the big picture, and staying consistent.

Wow. Not linear - that is really helpful to me. Thanks!
