• Week 2: 220 lbs. (-2 lbs)
• Week 3: 218 lbs. (-2 lbs)
• Week 4: 218 lbs (-0 lbs)
• Week 5: 221 lbs (+3 lbs)
• Week 6: 218 lbs (-3 lbs)
• Week 7: 217 lbs (-1 lbs)
• Week 8: 217 lbs (-0 lbs)
• Week 9:

I did not lose any weight this week. If you check out my nutrition tracking results above, you can understand why. 

This was a good reminder that if I don’t stick to the plan, I won’t see the results. The plan is to track my nutrition 5/7 days of the week. I did not do that, and so I did not see the results I expected. 

Even so, I’m still just a pound away from goal with a week to go. Let’s finish this challenge strong!
