Successes/struggles 1st week: What?! I gained 4.5 lbs in 5 days?! I didn't even know that was possible. The scale is going the wrong way. I exercised every day. I didn't eat super great, but I didn't eat horribly either. I went over a few days, but not by much. Heavy sigh. Hopefully next week will have a better #.
Successes/struggles 2nd week: Had emergency gall bladder surgery on the 10th. It sort of put a damper on exercise. Ha. I am slowly getting back into the swing of things this week.
Successes/struggles 3rd week: Still recovering from surgery. It's not that bad actually, but I am following Dr's orders and taking it easy. I usually jump right back into things if I feel fine. Then it backfires and I realize why they say go slow even if you feel good. Ha. I will weigh myself this Friday. I think things will be close enough to normal that whatever the scale says will be legit. I was afraid it would show too much loss because of my tentative and careful eating after surgery which is not how I usually eat. I know I'm not going to reach my goal because of the huge jump the first four days (still think that's crazy), but hopefully I will not have gained any. I love this challenge and am looking forward to continuing it next month as well.
Successes/struggles 4th week: Well, this month didn't go as planned, but I am happy to have lost 1 lb. Here's to a more successful March!0 -

Successes/struggles this week: My success came today when I stepped on the scale and saw that I now weigh the same as my fiance. That was my first goal I wanted to reach.
My struggle came this week in the form of starting a 30 day free trial at a new gym in town with my best friend. But between a full-time job, full-time college, and a 2 year old, she doesn't have much time to go after work so we've been getting there around 6:40 for the past three mornings. I don't remember the last time I regularly woke up at 6 a.m. Even when I worked about 40 minutes from home, I was still able to get up at 6:30 a.m. for work. Sweets have also still been a struggle for me to avoid
I always crave them at night around 8 p.m.

Weight lost/gained this month: -2.8
Successes/struggles this week: not the number I wanted to log. I was 156 on Wed. I know it's from starting strong lifts and my body reacting. Success: staying in my calorie goal, and eating good. Hitting the gym everyday. Struggle: had a few nights of drinking, stronglifts made the scale go up which depresses me so I'm going back to light lifts 3xs a week for now. Focus on one goal at a time.0 -

29th February: 169.6
Weight lost/gained this week: 3
Weight lost/gained this month: 5
Successes/struggles this week: Thanks to some surprise scalemagic this morning, I broke 170. Nice to see the scale back in the 160. When I had my weight steady (at 160-163), 168 was the mini-diet threshold to get back down, so it's great to be in the ballpark again.
Overall, I'm OK with how the month went. Compared to January/ before the holidays (where I gave myself a pass, as long as I worked out), I was definitely less careful about tracking/ less concerned about going over by a little bit so I'm happy to see I still averaged a pound a week.0 -

Successes/struggles this week: I certainly didn't reach my goal, but a loss is a loss. I'm still getting more activity in than I did last month and the beginning of this one. While I've been technically under my calorie goal, I'm sure the entries I'm using for restaurant foods aren't as accurate as they could be. Still feeling great, though, so if it ain't broke...0 -

I didn't reach my goal but I finally got back to being disciplined and losing.0
