    Loss/gain for the week: A loss of 1.2 lbs

    Loss/gain for the month so far: 0 lbs

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    1/1 - 1/7: My sodium intake has been WAY higher than it needs to be. I have been attempting to drink at least 90 ozs of water a day, but if I can't keep my sodium in check, it is not going to make a difference. Here is to a better week! One of my newest MFP friends wrote a quote for me that I really like! "A setback is a set up for a comeback".
    1/8 - 1/14 I did a much better job of watching my sodium intake this week. I also have been doing better drinking my water. Yay me!! I want to continue doing these things during the upcoming week. Here is hoping for a nice loss at next week's weigh in!

    Hi! Just joining in now but I started my healthy eating last Thursday so I am only a week behind everyone else. I've been looking for a motivating weight loss challenge everywhere! so this is it! :)

    Struggles or successes of your week: The weekend was the toughest! I ate a LOT! But managed to keep soda consumption down to half a can both Saturday and Sunday. I have not had any soda since Sunday which is a big accomplishment for me as a "self-diagnosed soda addict." Since it was my brother's bday yesterday, I had a large dinner, although I tried keeping it healthy (minus dessert :disagree: ). I am so excited to have joined this thread!

    Struggles/Successes for your week: Very happy with this week's loss! Last night was my cheat night, and the stomach issue that came along with it might mean that I've lost a bit more than the scale reflects. I've been focusing on eating protein and it's had a big impact on my hunger levels during the day.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I need to find a better protein shake. The Designer Whey stuff that I got last week is TERRIBLE!

    Struggles or successes of your week:

    Decided to incorporate more rest days. After taking two days off in a row was over kill for me. When I went back to they gym yesterday I was sluggish, and muscles a little bit tight. So I will continue to take two days off a week, just not consecutively.

    Struggles:
    * At work the cookies, chips, donuts brought into work.
    * At home staying away from all the chocolate on hand, and to stop thinking of food when bored or not really hungry.

    Success:
    * I was able to continue my pace this week, lost another 2 pounds!!

    For this upcoming week my goal is to eat more veggies, eat healthier snacks!

    TDEE, BMR all adjusted to my new weight!
