    Start Weight: 305 lbs at my heaviest, 294 lbs when I started this journey
    Goal Weight (1st August): 175 lbs (My Weight Goal!)

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.2 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -4.2 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Its been extremely hot this week, so my first instinct is to run to the ice cream. I need to remember, I can splurge once in awhile in moderation and still work towards my goals. Got a migraine yesterday so I didn't get my workout in, still hanging around this morning but I am hoping by the time I work I will be good for a jog on the treadmill.

    Successes/struggles this week:
    I don't understand. I'm definitely (unless the calorie count for Chik fil a is off by like 700 calories) not eating over my calorie limit -- continuing to hit under goal. I am doing CrossFit five times a week. I weigh in this morning at the same weight as last week and want to crumple up and give in. I just don't understand why.


    Don't give in! Has this been happening for a while, or just this week? There are so many factors that can mess things up on a week to week basis, especially hormones if you're a woman. Even if it's been a trend for a while; are you getting smaller even if not losing weight? I should imagine CF builds quite a bit of muscle?

    Same thing happens to me once in a while. I was at or under my calories last week. Lifted weights and did cardio 4 days. The weight did not move down. Then Friday I over ate 360 calories and the scale went up 1.5 lbs in one day! By this morning it dropped 1 lb of it, but still. They say "you are building muscles and they are heavier than fat" and water retention, etc., etc. At one point we MUST drop the weight. So I just keep doing what I am doing. You do the same and the weight will move eventually.

    26st July :

    Week 1
    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.4 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.4 lbs

    Successes: still losing weight!
    Struggles: rate has slowed down since starting MFP in January of this year, mainly due to being more realistic about food choices and more lenient with cheats. I've learned that keeping off the wright is a lifestyle choice and I'm not doing myself any favours by restrictions and trying to kick my own *****. I still feel down about things when I have a cheat though, the guilty struggles are real! Still staying very motivated and positive. :)

    Week 2
    Weight lost/gained this week:-2.2
    Weight lost/gained this month:-4.6

    Successes:Still losing weight, sometimes to my surprise!
    Struggles: Had one bad night where I suddenly found myself at a pizza joint, ordered a medium pepperoni (8 slices) and destroyed it in 30 mins and felt bad afterwards. However, was good for the next 3 days and posted a surprising loss on my gym weigh in day.

    Week 3
    Weight lost/gained this week:.8
    Weight lost/gained this month:5.4

    Successes:still losing weight
    Struggles: I'm on vacation for the next 2weeks so I know the weight loss will slow down due to eating out more.
