    Weight lost/gained this week: +2.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: -.6 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: not worried about scale number as I know I would have had to have eaten more than 8400 calories over which I didn't. Did overindulge in salty foods and sweets. Connected my eating to stressful events and that is a huge success to gain that awareness.

    Success/struggles this week: Managing to keep within my calorie count, also I allow for a few more calories on the weekend,
    BUT I must resist the odd glass or two of wine during the week with dinner. Will work on that. Probably won't reach my ambitious goal.

    Hope everyone has a good Easter break!

    Weight -/+ this week: -.4
    Weight -/+ this month:-3.2

    Successes/struggles this week: Last we went on vacation and I ate crazy. I didn't restrict myself much at all and gained a lot of water weight over four days. I'm surprised how quickly it came off and that I'm down this week! The biggest struggle has been getting back to healthy eating after eating delicious huge portions. This weekend I have multiple gatherings where food is involved so I need to watch myself be prepared to not see much of a loss next week.

    Weight -/+ this week: -3.2
    Weight -/+ this month: -7.0

    Successes/struggles this week: My successes are pretty much the same this week, staying within my calories and meeting/exceeding my exercise goals. Last week, I also talked about staving of junk food craving with nuts/homemade trail mix but I am now eating too many nuts. I eat enough nuts for a low calorie meal lately. I have got to get my snack cravings under control. I am also still struggling with getting enough rest during the week. That being said, this is my first week in this challenge with a 3LBS lost! <3<3<3

    Successes/struggles this week: GOAL! I also took measurements today and the biggest loss was 5 inches from my abdomen, That loss is greater to me than the number on the scale and makes me feel as though I am making real changes. I felt fatigued all week and the MFP community helped maintain my energy and motivation.
