    Sulks.
    I didn't do much formal exercise but did ride bike to work nearly every day. I can improve that.

    Food intake 1176, at rest 1172, exercise 991, net -997, should be losing 2lb a week.

    actually so disappointed in myself but need some motivation guys to make me believe I can to it :)

    you CAN do it. I really find that alcohol mucks things up as it's so high in calories. It sounds as though you are doing all the right things, keep going and the results will follow.

    You are in this for the long haul so you are actually doing OK. Remember 'its a marathon not a sprint' and you are on track! We are also learning so much about ourselves, and we are all bound to have our ups and downs. So long as we get back up from our downs, we will make it :)

    Week 4 already?!?!?!?

    Week 4-
    Starting weight: 253.7
    Goal weight: 199.9
    Current weight: 245.8

    Total weight lost: +4.2/7.9
    This week's successes: I ate well and was consistent. I want to continue with tracking and drinking water. But the scale went in the wrong direction! I am not fussed. I know that it is not representative of what happened this week. I will continue to eat chicken, eat fruit and veg.
    This week's challenges: Trying to get back into exercise consistently.

    Starting weight: 225
    Goal weight: 180

    Current weight: 219.4
    Weekly weight lost: 1 lbs
    Total weight lost: 5.6 lbs

    This week's successes: Still at it! Mostly on track this week. Focusing on the long term helps me be more patient with myself. My family is being supportive with reminders, suggestions, and praise! It's very sweet.

    This week's challenges: Didn't meal plan the whole week. Resulted in less healthy foods. Still kept within calories (mostly), but could feel the difference. Didn't meet my daily step goal.
