Age: 41
Height: 5’7

Start Weight (1st January): 200
Goal Weight (1st February): 194

15th January:145
22nd January:144
29th January:
1st February:
Weight lost/gained this week: 1

Successes/struggles this week: Eating at home more often helps with the cal intake and sodium. I've stuck with the exercise. The scale doesn't move too quickly so I'm trying to focus on other measurements: Blood pressure is down so I'll take that as a win. Ho hum....slow is better than nothing but it can be so discouraging. I find it nearly impossible to stick with 1500 mg of sodium. Seems unrealistic.

22nd January: 147
29th January:
1st February:

Weight lost/gained this week: 0.4
Weight lost/gained this month: 5.4

Successes/struggles this week: up nearly half a pound! Curses!! I cycle a lot and I've been so so so so hungry this week. One time I ate three slices of pizza and was *still* hungry.
So struggle this week was trying to fill the bottomless pit without going overboard. Haven't quite figured the answer out on that one. Maybe tons more of the healthy stuff and less on the chocolate? That'd be a good start maybe.
