Successes/struggles this week:

Struggle: I had the flu last week so it increased my weight loss by 5 pounds but because of the flu I have not worked out in 2 weeks. I had a great routine going and now I feel like I have to start all over again.
I had completed a week of Ripped in 30 and was feeling good. I felt like I had gotten passed the struggle and then I had to stop. Now I have to start Ripped in 30 all over again.
I am starting cardio back up tomorrow with a 90 minute Zumba class.
Success: even though I didn't work out this week I still had a tiny drop in weight. Hoping for bigger next week.

Weight -/+ this week: -6.2lbs!
Weight -/+ this month: -6.2lbs

Successes/struggles this week: I'm assuming that the huge loss weight this week is definitely due to water weight etc, because otherwise that would not be healthy :P Other successes have been that I managed to get in 2 of my scheduled 3 rounds of excercise in, and it's only Saturday so I'll be getting another one in tomorrow!
Struggles...work is a huge stress factor, and I'm still fighting myself not to reach for junk food/alcohol by the time I get home. Perseverence!

Successes/struggles this week: The fatigue this week was overwhelming. I was not sure I would be able to maintain my exercise regimen, but I managed 5 out of 7 days and feel pretty great about it. Every morning that I use my body I know how lucky I am to be able to move at all and that pushes me a little further. As always the support from the MFP community puts me over the top. Thanks again!

Successes/struggles this week: My biggest struggle overall is simply getting disciplined! (Can I get an Amen!) But I continue to move forward Another overall struggle is finding balance. Due to having PCOS my body is very sensitive to stress so I have to be careful not to stress about my food choices and instead find a happy balance.

Good luck everyone!

Successes/struggles this week: I am still figuring out how many carbs I should have due to my PCOS. I went with 125g/day which is still kind of high for me but I want to decrease them slowly. My other goal is to not feel deprived and allow myself one small treat a day within my carb range. I have found that if I feel deprived my body feels stress and doesn't shed weight it should. This past week I ate a lot of junk (including nachos AND popcorn AND soda at the theater ) so I took it under control yesterday, allowed myself the one treat, and simply drank lots of water when the other cravings came. It worked

Weight -/+ this week: -2.2
Weight -/+ this month: -2.2

Successes: Yay! This is the biggest loss I've ever had in one week. Probably had something to do with TOM being the week before. I didn't lose anything that week and I tend to gain during it. Food choices were good and I didn't feel deprived. Stress was high this week with the big job interview, but clearly I managed. Also, hit 10000 steps every day.

Struggles: I still need to figure out a way to get more veggies and fruit in. Also, definitely need to figure out the exercise piece. Right now I'm just walking with a bit of C25K. I'd love to do more strength training, but I would like to find a trainer to show me how to do it properly (old shoulder injury and I've hurt myself in the past doing things the wrong way). Also, dance. I need to find a place to dance.

Successes/struggles this week: Looks like I hit my June goal really quick, but I do weigh daily and it fluctuates up and down, so my new challenge is to keep it on the down side. I am at my new low, though. Finally, my back is better and I can exercise again!
