    Struggles/successes this week: Because I didn't get to go shopping last weekend, I didn't really have a lot of meal prep so we had a lot of eating out and for Valentine's day I splurged some more and ate more too... but I'm still on track and I just try to add some more work out. I also need to keep an eye on my sodium intake, it really is getting out of hand when I'm getting too over.

    Here's for better next week!

    From last month:

    Struggles/successes this week: had a 3 conference last week, stayed strong and didn't drink at all whilst there. Still ate too much and didn't log it properly and came back heavier than when I left. Still not under the ton yet and I just want to break through because I haven't been under for over 6 months. Hopefully this week I'll get there. Add me to your friends list if you like, my diary is always public. Cheers and good luck this week

    Struggles/successes this week: I am joining a week late! Have been a MFP member for almost 4 years- lost 28 lbs. but have been slowly gaining them back in the last 6 months. Need help and motivation!!!

    My weight of 145.2 on the 1st was actually a lower than normal reading - my weight has been fluctuating in the 146 range. Regardless, didn't lose any weight this past week. Just started the challenge yesterday so hopefully this week will be better!!

    I keep bouncing around 134-135. Sunday's are always bad for me as I take myself out to dinner after working at the barn and an end of week treat. So I am sure I'll be up again on Monday. I really need to stop that...

    *I couldn't weight myself on Sunday morning because I wasn't home.

    Weight loss/gain this week: -0.6 kg (-1.3 lbs)
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: -1.3 kg (-2.85 lbs)

    Struggles/successes this week: The beginning of this week was very stressful plus it was still TOM, all that led to cravings and I went over my calorie limit one day by more than 600 calories, but I managed to stay on track at the end of the week, so I still managed to lose weight. I was very sedentary this last couple of weeks but I plan to start exercising regularly again this week. I started with T25 in November and finished alpha phase in December - just before the holidays, I did workout occasionally in January but not much. I will go through T25 alpha phase once again and then when the weather will be nicer I will probably start running and doing some bodyweight exercises, or I will do the beta phase, I haven't decided, yet.

    Struggles/successes this week: Every week is a struggle at the mo but its worth it to see results. I was out for a meal on Saturday and probably overate but again, it seems I didn't sabotage my efforts too badly. Big success is an inch each off my neck, boobs, waist and hips this month.

    Struggles/successes this week: Main struggle was of course the sweets surrounding Valentine's Day. I did indulge in some chocolate, wine and a single box of conversation hearts.

    Yesterday I didn't log many entries, because apart from breakfast and a super light supper, I went "all junk" yesterday and had no idea what I ate - it was within reason, not a binge by any means, but it was a low key day so I didn't care about meeting my macros and I treated myself to watching Gone Girl, eating some chocolate kisses (no I didn't keep track but not as many as I would have eaten in the past, which would be half the bag, LOL), and having a couple glasses of wine (no way to knowing how many calories, since it's a local wine that is sweet with no nutrition info.) The kisses and the wine counted as one of my meals and allllll of my snacks, LOL. :D

    Struggles/successes this week:

    Hi Fitness Pals! I just jumped on for the rest of this challenge, hoping to keep myself honest with logging my food and exercise. So many people have lost some lbs., this is a great motivator.

    Struggle - Going to the gym and logging my food, especially all the WINE I had on Valentine's day.
    Success - Doing a morning 10-minute workout from Real Simple magazine. It kicks my boot and boosts my heart rate for the day. It came from this article: 7 ways to boost your metabolism -- http://www.realsimple.com/health/nutrition-diet/ways-boost-metabolism. I can't find a link to the exercises, but Real Simple has many different types of 10 minute workouts.
