    Weight lost/gained this week: +3.3 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: +3.3 lbs

    Although its discouraging to see the scale go up, I don't beat myself up over it anymore. Since I started weighing in daily and keeping a running average, I've experienced a lot less scale anxiety. I did reach a new low (126) last week, and I know today's 3 lb gain is largely due to all the carbs and sodium I had this weekend...

    Success this week: staying positive ( or at least, being less angry at myself than I used to) about inhaling calories this past weekend...fell off the wagon for almost 4 whole days! At least I had fun with friends over the weekend

    Struggle this week: leaving for another fun weekend away at a cabin Friday -Sunday! There will lots of beer and high cal foods...my commitment to myself is to at least do better than I did this past weekend and try to at least stay at/near maintenance calories!

    Successes/struggles this week: Went out Thursday night, date night Friday night and spent the day on the river yesterday with beer. There was quite a bit of alcohol consumed and I know I did not track everything. Going to work on cutting it out altogether for the remainder of this month! Luckily, got 3 good workouts in and moved a ton of furniture on Saturday. Onto the next week!!

    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: I weigh each morning--I went down as far as 267 then up and down. Stuck to my plan, even started my exercise program (I'm a teacher so this is my first week off). I was SO good. Not liking the up and down thing--what does it mean?--but I'm putting what the scale says on the specific days. Going to focus on a schedule.

    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles: Recently gained around 20 lbs. Back on the wagon of eating healthy and logging everything. I'm sure the 6 lb loss is mainly water weight, but it's a nice. Now I need to get back into regular workouts.

    Main challenge: eating out with friends. That's when I let my guard down. :)

    Loss/gain for the week: 2.5 lbs loss
    Loss/gain this month: 2.5 lbs loss

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    Struggles: I am hungry most of the time. Also, on Saturday I went to a bar to watch the Belmont race. Had quinoa, salmon and one cocktail. I gained .5 lbs in spite of the fact that I exercised that day. Conclusion: cannot go to restaurants and have alcohol until I loose at least half of my excess weight.
    Successes: After a 2 week hiatus in May, I got right back to exercise and watching my diet, so this first week is really promising.

    Weight lost/gained this week: -3.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: -3.2

    Successes/struggles this week: My scale is being weird so my weight is fluctuating like crazy. So it's hard to keep track of things. Not sure if the -3.2 lbs weight loss is even accurate, but it gives me hope! And running has been getting harder and harder as time goes. I'm hoping I get more motivation soon though!

    Looks like I lost a lot of Fluid, which I am glad. Was suffering from swollen Feet, Ankles, Legs, and Knees.

    Are your legs feeling better? Hope so!

    Trying not to be upset about not losing, but the scale did go down to 205 this week, so hopefully I have a lot of water weight and will see a big loss next week. Also realizing my goal is too high. I will just do my best.

    Lots of stuff going on this month that will make this an extreme challenge.... My bday, dd's bday, Father's Day, nieces bday party, last day of son's school (we always celebrate with McDonald's and ice cream. )

    Successes/struggles this week:
    It's going to be difficult working out this week because I've been having some chest pain that increases when i breathe heavier/deeper. Went to the doctor, turns out a cartilage connecting my rib bone to my sternum is inflamed and I just have to wait it out until it goes away, which could be a week.
