Struggles/successes this week: one workout last week. Days of Early starts and late endings as well as travel scuppered plans to get workouts in. Meals have also been difficult to plan - breakfasts tended to be fruit which isn't all bad just means that I've upped my carbs and i'm over what I usually allow myself. Modest loss this week and expect the same going into the final weigh in - though not going to beat myself up because I'm on a down-ward trajectory! Again, will be weighing a day late0 -

Age: 21 (22 tomorrow!)
Height: 5 ft 5 in

1st March:
Weight loss/gain this week: -3.0
Weight loss/gain so far this month: -5.2
Struggles/successes this week: So I didn't post last week because I had only lost 0.8lbs after monitoring my calories and exercising, and as such, felt very discouraged. Interestingly, this past week, I didn't monitor calories and I didn't exercise (unfortunately, no time), but I did take diet supplements (green coffee extract before lunch and Garcinia Cambogia before lunch) and I ate fruit for lunch- in general, I ate less but more often. I lost three pounds, which shocked me, and I'm starting to notice some changes on my body, which is really exciting!
Maybe I can actually accomplish my goal?
Good luck to everyone, and definitely stick with it (even though it's easier said than done), no matter what your goal is!

Struggles/successes this week:
After gaining 2 pounds over Valentine's Day weekend, I've finally shed those pounds and am back to losing. Unfortunately, with only 4 more workouts to finish my les mills combat program, I'm sick, but will finish it as soon as I'm feeling better, which hopefully won't take too long! In the mean time, I'll rest and keep my calories down to make up for not working out.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: Not quite sure I believe the scale. 4lbs in a week...? Seems like my jeans would fit just a bit better if it were true. Gonna re-weigh tomorrow AM.
Back on the positive side of things. Though 2.5 lbs in the next few days may be a bit unlikely.0 -

This week I gained about .4 pound. I am still able to make my goal of 230 (8 lbs loss) ..so I'm not giving up!0

So did not reach my Feb goal. I only lost 4.6lb but i am still happy. i already dropped 60lbs in the last 6 months. the loss rate is definitely slowing down now. hopefully in March i can run more and drop another 5-6 lb.
Good job everyone! Its great when hard work pays off.

Struggles/successes this week: I have no idea why I am down 5.5 but I think it is because I increased my exercise beginning of February and my body adjusted to the difference, maybe. All in all it has been a good week.
