    Successes/struggles this week: I am a new mom to a 2 month old baby. I am breastfeeding and therefore need to consume an appropriate amount of calories. I'm still healing and can't do much more physical activity than walking yet. I will be focusing more on nutrition and trying to find an appropriate deficit.

    Successes/struggles this week: I had been doing well up to a couple weeks ago but have gained a couple pounds back - I am in exam time so my eating and working out have been pushed to the back burner. I have decided to focus on eating for the most part this week, until my last final is over on Thursday - then I can start focusing on working out more too!

    Successes: Joining this group! I'm new to the message boards and this is my first challenge, but certainly not my first time trying to lose weight and feel awesome about my body. Maybe this is the missing piece? Thanks for having me :)

    Struggles this week: nighttime snacking out of boredom -- this is where I sabotage all efforts

    Good luck to everyone!

    Successes/struggles this week: Oof, need to get back on track! Got as low as 174.2 in April...before immediately going on vacation and coming back up 10 pounds from all the alcohol bloat and salt intake. Interested to see where the scale ends up this week once all the water weight is gone.

    Hi, I'm game!

    I started on an antidepressant in late March and shot up 10 pounds /: I'm going to start tapering down to a half the dose (started on the min ) before re-evaluating w.Dr mid May.

    Seeing the scale yesterday was quite a shock as I've never weighed more and had been really upping my activity game to where I should've been down 3 - 5 pounds from that pre- med weight.

    It was the kick in the butt I needed get this app. Think this will be good motivation(:

    Successes/struggles this week: I've been doing okay with staying in between 129 to 131 for the past month. But, let's face it, I want to be near 120 lbs. I'm close to my goal and trying my best not to overeat when I'm clearly full.
