    Successes/struggles this week: With TOM, Easter and 10 year anniversary celebrations, I'm actually surprised I lost anything this week. I never missed a workout and actually did an extra one on Saturday. This next week is back to healthy eating and attempting to portion out the Easter candy.

    MONTHLY THEME: Consolidation - After 84 days of hard core dedication to calorie restriction and exercise militancy I'm giving myself a plateau month before my body does it for me. A gentle easier month with only a small loss as the goal but continuing on with my positive attitude towards this journey.

    Weight lost/gained this week: 2.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: 2.2

    Successes/struggles this week: Everything is a struggle. Everything.. I'm tired and headachey and over all that is *kitten* in my life and I just want off the merry-go-round. Seriously. I wish I knew what triggers these bouts of feeling so crappy. I physically feel crappy, like I'm getting sick but never quite am. When I feel good I feel great but when I feel bad I feel soooo bad. I'm tired of the struggle. I'm just tired full stop.

    I am hoping that this will be the month I make it under 200 (if I do not I won't feel like I failed as every loss is a win to me) but if I do you will hear me screaming from wherever you are :-)

    Success/ Struggles: This week I have been able to control my cravings. I only had a bit of chocolate and a few chips other than that my menu has been pretty healthy. On the other hand I still struggle to eliminate my wine consumption. I know my loss could be much higher without it.

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm pretty sure most of what I lost this week is water weight, but a pound or two should be real. I've found it quite easy so far. Didn't have any chocolate at Easter because I'm alone at the moment so didn't receive any eggs haha. I hope by the end of the month I'll be down to 118. :)

    Weight lost/gained this month: -1.2 lb.

    Successes/struggles this week: We went camping this weekend and it rained a lot so we spent more time in the camper instead of outside. That led to more snacking than normal. I was able to squeeze in a couple of walks/runs in between showers so I was happy about that, it offset some of the extra carbs that were consumed. Hopefully at next week's weigh in I will be out of the 190's. Haven't been below that in a very long time.

    Successess/struggles this week: To busy with work and Easter this weekend to do anything but got in a short 3.1 mile run last night on a off Bootcamp day. I feel my weigh in last week was a tad bloated do to water but I'll take the 4.2 lb drop, if nothing else it helps mentally. Biggest struggle has been a massive sweet tooth at night lately and honestly I'm at a financial crunch right now and trying to eat as healthy as possible while making sure the kids get everything they need is a struggle.

    I hear you. Last weekend was like a non weekend for me with work and Easter. Good job on the loss though.

    Successes/struggles this week: I am not discouraged by my "weight gain" because on Saturday I weighted 188.1. I'm attributing this "gain" to water weight. I've been doing 30 day shred faithfully this entire last week , so assume my body is holding onto a little more water than usual. I feel confident that by next Wednesday, I'll be down to 188 or 187.

    You're right...I had a wonderful time :smile:

    I was really hoping the B1G would take home the championship, but it was still a lot of fun.
