    I'm joining a bit late! I'd like to lose 3.6kg by Paddy's Day (the day of my people), workout in some way 6 days per week and meet my calorie goal daily with one day where I eat back my exercise calories in full to avoid lapsing/cheating.

    SW: 72.6kg (160lbs)
    GW: 69kg (152lbs)

    I didn't go over my calories but for some reason up 3lbs. Getting lots of exercise and drinking water. I'm not going to give up. My goal today is to stick with this despite what the scale says.

    next time you hit the scale it'll be down sometimes takes 3 days to show up. Don't give up keep pluggin' away and you'll see progress in inches or pounds!

    This is not the St. Patrick's day challenge I was looking for. Carry on.

    I had a really awful day and especially night. I ended up 400 or so over in calories due to having 3 drinks. I'm going to add to my goals to not drink for the next three weeks.

    I'm in, I want to get under 200 by my anniversary two days after that. I will then definitely weigh less than when I got married 11 years ago. (I'm not quite sure weighed then, but have a ballpark idea). Logging food at least 2 meals a day (paper log is ok). 60,000+ steps for the week.

    SW: 208.6 lb
    GW: 199.8 lb for more than one day in a row

    CW: 203.8 lb. Of course my real goal is to weigh less than my husband, but that is a moving target since he's been losing as well. I'm low on steps so far this week, partly because I misread my pedometer last night and partly because I decided to lay around on the couch last night instead of my to-do list. I'll just have to push harder to actually meet my weekly step goal

    Also keep in mind:

    1. Your weight today reflects what you ate 2-3 days ago.
    2. If you are exercising, you can see a small increase as muscle increases.
    3. Weight is not exactly calories in/calories out as we have been led to believe. (Sleep, stress, macros, exercise - all influence weight changes.)
    4. Keep doing what you're doing and the magic will happen. Trust the process.

    I am joining late but I would like to lose 6 lbs by St. Pattys day. I have been hitting the gym three times a week and really logging every bit of food I put in my mouth. I am trying to eat bigger lunches and just salad for dinner.

    Day 1 for me. Its going to be 40 degrees (104 Fahrenheit for US peeps) in Sydney today so I got up at 6am and completely Week 3 Full Body of Kayla Itsines BBG. This means that although it is only Thursday morning, I've exercised 5 times this week. Feel brilliant about it

    Thus will be a double check-in since I didn't do it yesterday. I got my walk and vitamins in yesterday and stayed within my nutritional goals. I didn't drink enough water though. I always struggle with that. Today...so far so good. Just two more waters to get in. Yay!

    Feel better today than yesterday. Elliptical work out done. Still under calories for the day. But down 4 pounds and 6 inches.
    I like feeling accountable to the group it is helping stay on track. Keep up the good work folks, don't be your own worst enemy. Find the positive!!!!
