    Weight lost this week : 1.2lbs
    Weight lost this month : 1.2lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: The biggest struggle for me was eatin. I've spent all of last week gradually cutting out junk food from my diet and this week i realized i really didn't have much else to eat. I averaged 850cal a day, which is BAD i know and probably why i didn't lose much this week. The fact that i wasn't hungry didn't help (the cold make me forget the hunger ._. ) I'm trying to eat more this week.

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.4 lbs.
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.4 lbs.

    Successes this week: Finally! The scale has been going up and down since November 11th... Success has been sticking to the program and not giving up when the scale wasn't moving. Looking at the NSV's! I haven't lost any weight but I went down a pants size. :)

    Struggles this week: Although, I've lost a good amount of weight so far. I don't see it when I look in the mirror. I took a profile picture of myself to post here. It wasn't worthy enough.....I'm my worst critic. I need to change this!

    The holiday season starts this weekend for me! I have to find a balance of enjoying life and taking care of myself. One day at a time! I'll try my best!

    Everyone is doing great! Have a great week! <3

    Great job Carrie!!!!! I know it's hard to see photos of ourselves; I saw one of me clothed last weekend and was criticizing everything in the photo. Just keep up what you're doing..losing 2.4 is awesome!!

    That's all you can do...one foot in front of the other.

    Keep it up!!

    Thanks Penny!

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Holy crap, you guys! Don't know what happened: I stepped on the scale and it said I was up 12.5 pounds. Next morning, I was 5 less than that, but still up 7.5... I can only assume that it is a side-effect of lots of sodium, but not gonna lie: It was a bit demoralizing. I've decided to just call it a blip and ignore the scale until my regular weigh-in day next week.

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm still getting the hang of this MFP thing! Definitely didn't help that I went on a mini vacation for my husband's birthday. Too much drinking, not enough accountability with what I was eating. I struggle when I see him and others around me eating bad foods, still have to get strong enough to resist!!

    I'll join! I could use some motivation. I started 3 weeks ago and have lost 15 pounds so far but I know that was the easy part. Now things are slowing down.. This is where I always give up.
    I'm still 60 lbs from my long term goal.

    Successes/struggles this week: woohoo love seeing that loss on the scale! So motivating for the next week. I was on vacation most of the last week and made a conscious effort to eat well and not fall into my usual vacation excuses to eat whatever I want. Very glad I showed some self control!

    Successes/struggles this week: Successes this week include realizing that getting up 1 hour earlier to get my walk in is so much more pleasant than trying to find time in the super busy evenings of December. Prepared all of my lunches for the week on Sunday. Yes I gained, but I am not letting that number ruin how I feel.

    Successes/struggles this week:

    I have a total of 100 pounds to lose. I started at 240 on 7/5/15 and by 11/21/15, I had lost 26.4 pounds bringing me to 213.6....well thanksgiving came (2 days of eating) and so did the weight and a few other problems and by 12/1/15 I had gone back up to 224. Now everything I eat or drink causes me to bloat, badly. (I guess my body wasn't used to that kind of food anymore). I cut back drastically on what I eat now. Just taking it one day at a time and still exercising.
    Thanks for this challenge and accountability.
