    Total LBS lost this week: 1.2
    Total LBS lost this month: 2.4

    Weekly Goals: Exercise; lay off the sweets;
    My goal for next weigh-in is 147

    Struggles: I waaaay overdid it on the Dove dark chocolate promises. Apparently those things are not safe in my house. Also, calorie counting is really hard because I have to eat so much because I'm breastfeeding. I get really tired of logging. I also make all our dinners from scratch, and I get tired of creating all the recipes in MFP.

    Successes: Managed to lose a pound this week.

    July 3:

    Total LBS lost this week: 6.9 lbs
    Total LBS lost this month: 6.9 lbs

    Weekly Goals: 1.) Abstain from my trigger foods (Sugar, Flour, Caffeine, Alcohol, Sweeteners, Processed Foods, etc.)
    2.) Continue with meditation (12 day streak currently)
    3.) Continue going to the gym 3 days a week.
    4.) Tracking my impulses wrt to food addiction and cravings.
    5.) Reading my mission statement 1st thing when I wake up and right before I go to sleep.


    Struggles: 1.) Dealing with the emotions of my work and being more mindful of resisting the urge to binge when I get emotionally high or low. 2.) Staying persistent with the "I will" habits I'm trying to form (Meditation and Gym). Accepting this is a constant struggle and not a light-switch that I can just turn off.

    Successes: Posting this here and wanting to become a member of a community where I can help others achieve their goals and get support in my battles.

    I'm really looking forward to this.

    Lost a bunch, but mostly water weight. It should even out this week.

    Struggles: Tracking calories can be annoying but I know it's a keystone habit and will benefit everything in my life.

    Success: Sticking to meditation for the last 15 days and being in the gym for the past 10 weeks, this is the longest I've done either so I feel great about that.

    My goals for this upcoming week are simple; to continue doing exactly what I'm doing and build these habits until they don't have to be thought about anymore.

    Thank you; I didn't know about that website. Some of those recipes just might work for us (especially the casseroles that are "freezer friendly." Thanks!!
    MFP does make it pretty darn easy to enter in your own recipes... So I really don't have an excuse.... I also have to get accustomed to entering the correct number of servings and then accurately serving an actual serving, which isn't hard, since I usually make casseroles and can divide that easily into 12 portions. I prepare dinners for my large family, and I do a lot of bulk cooking for the freezer, and I guess sometimes I just get tired of thinking about and measuring all that food!

    Weekly goals: Run 3 times a week, do core strength work 4 days a week, daily logs.

    Struggles: Weekends are hardest again. Friday dinner out so lots of cals but still reasonable. Saturday was so crazy that I just ate on the run. Need to plan in advance for craziness like that and remember to drink lots of H20!

    Successes: Although the scale did not budge today, I had a very good week both meal and workout wise. I'm sticking to my exercise goals if not exceeding them and my body feels stronger and jeans are looser. I'm planning on seeing a drop next week!! :smile:

    Weekly Goals: Strength training 4 times per week, walk every day, and do some high intensity cardio 3 days per week.

    Struggles: Trying to be patient and be content with “only” losing 2lbs per week. After losing 3-4lbs per week when I first started, this 2 per week rate seems really slow. I know 1-2lbs per week is recommended, so I’m trying to be ok with that.

    What is my favourite cheat meal?

    I don't really have a favourite cheat meal, but I have favourite cheat foods.
    • Poutine
    • Ice cream
    • Curries (Indian and Thai)

    Favorite Cheat Meal: All of them...seriously, I'm so happy to find this new way of eating after trying some pretty rigid eating programs, that I don't really deprive myself of anything I like, so no need to cheat. I just figure how to fit it into my macro ratios and ensure that I'm keeping my calorie count within the goal.
