    Loss/gain for the week: .8

    Struggles or successes for your week: Finally! I'll take what I can get, but this has been painfully slow. I do take my other measurements and will plug those in after my exercise program is finished. I'm doing more weights and less cardio this time around so the weight loss is very slow but the body changes are there. I missed some days so I'm hoping I have more motivation for the last week and a half. I need a woosh at the end here so I can hit the 150s!

    I did eat some salty foods this week, and I can feel the water retention. I need to remember to drink more water on the weekends.

    Loss/gain for the week: -2
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -4

    Struggles or successes of the week:

    Successes: I started boxing classes that I love and is an awesome workout. I've been eating really well and exercising despite the fact that I am stressed due to an exam coming up (more busy than stressed). I just got a juicer too so I have been making one juice a day for supplemental purposes (and they are pretty good). I also learned how to make an easy cleanup salmon dish that turned out great.

    Struggles: I had one day, I think it was Tuesday, that was a little rough and I was hungry earlier in the day than normal and I had most of my calories before 1:00. Fortunately I just ate what I brought to campus and so my calorie intake was just shifted earlier and I ate what I had planned to eat. The next three days may be a struggle only because I don't know if I will be able to get a workout in, but I'll still be able to keep the nutrition on track.

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    Struggles: I just recently started weightlifting and counting my macros, and making sure your daily diet fits into your macros perfectly can be tough! I struggled a bit with it, but I’m getting the hang of it!

    Successes: So many! I was really good with making sure I followed my weightlifting/cardio schedule and also went out to eat two times and stuck to my plan. I even had Chick-fil-A for breakfast one day. I’m super happy with my results so far and I’m excited about moving into maintenance hopefully sooner than later! :smile:

    Struggles or successes of your week: All the work I am able to do around the house now is enough of a work out for now. My wife has to remind me to stop for meals. I've only lost 20 lbs since going back to MFP but what a difference it has made. Plus the news years resolution to stay away from pop/soda is making a difference with my joints.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I'm at college right now, so I have been doing a good job with staying away from all the fried food. I can't actually count my calories because I'm living in the dorms, so I've been doing portion control. It looks like I'm doing pretty good. Ive also been waking up every morning before classes to workout which is great. I just have to keep the cycle going.
