I'm pretty happy with my loss, exactly at my goal. My weightloss has slowed quite a bit lately but I am still loosing inches. Since beginning my whole journey I have lost a total of 6" off of my waist. It's not always about the weight but I am proud of myself for sticking to a plan!

Weight -/+ this month: -7.3
Successes/struggles this week: My successes are pretty much the same this week, staying within my calories and meeting/exceeding my exercise goals. My struggle this week is that I didn't meet my weight loss goal. I missed my goal by 1.7LBS because I only lost .3 of a pound this week. Since I exceeded my exercise and calories goals this week, I am not sure what the issue is. I am still happy with my results and I can't weight for April's weight loss challenge. See you all there!!
