Needing to remember that good changes are not always the changes that come all at once. When I did this last time I was successful going nice and slow. Make new habits, then they last. Also remember that a number is just a number, the real test is how you feel. 12 -
I am so impressed with the overall progress this group is making. You can do this! Pause and think before each food choice. Where were you, where are you now, where do you want to be, and will this choice help you get there? Have an awesome week!

Total weight lost: This is my first day on this challenge
This week's successes: eating healthy all week and somehow managed to get to the gym 2 times when i have a baby/work full time/college full time studying fitness health and nutrition
This week's challenges: I have a big assessment week so fitting the gym in and studying may conflict.
Week 2
Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs

Total weight lost: 6.4lbs
This week's successes: I lost 6.3lbs this week im so happy weighs the same as a 1 metre tall baby kangaroo. Target was 2lbs a week so im happy
This week's challenges: my son was at grannys this weekend so we had a wee drink so need to go ti the gym more than my usual twice a week this week and stick to diet religiously to hit 2lbs target
Week 3
Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 210.2lbs
Weight Lost this week: 2lbs GAIN
Total weight lost: 4.4lbs
This week's successes: I went to the gym twice this week for the full 1 hour session each time and I have written up an exercise plan with beginners FITT principles in place, Target was 2lbs a week so I'm happy because in total my goal by this week was to be 4lbs in total loss so I'm on target and will not let this week get to me - I'm also upping my gym days to 3 times per week so I'm getting the weekly recommended cardio and Resistance training per week
This week's challenges: I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend as (1) I have my son and (2) I did enough of that last weekend with my son being at granny's that's what definitely through me off as didn't eat/drink clean 2/3 days. Its also going to be hard upping my gym to one more day as with work and college and the gym so far I'm missing my son so so much but I'm doing this for him. Also finding time to meal prep so to not spend on quick healthy expensive things when I can do that at home.
Week 4
Starting weight: 214.5 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 208.7lbs
Weight Lost this week: 1.5lbs loss
Total weight lost: 5.9lbs
This week's successes: by this week I should be at 6lbs total loss and 0.1 away which doesn't bother me as been at the gym 3 days this week - tried new foods - upped my protein a little and know what I am doing in the gym more now rather than just going in and going to any piece of equipment - A loss is a loss at the end of the day and my gain would be in muscle as doing a lot of strength training on my arm so I have a little muscle to be able to burn fat more efficiently there.
This week's challenges: as I was a tinny bit off target I will not have my Friday glass of prosecco when son is sleeping lol - my niece, her boyfriend and daughter are wanting me and son to go for dinner, its not the food I will struggle with that's not an issue just being the only sober 1 I don't really like drinking its just drunk people especially loved ones are the most annoying ha-ha. Need to stretch out my gym sessions a little don't feel as sore as I should. 7 -

Weigh-in day for me today. I had ortho-shoulder surgery last Thursday. Believe it or not I gained about 11 pounds of water weight from the IV during surgery. I was in the restroom every two hours for about three days getting rid of all that water. I was bummed out after surgery when I stepped on the scales, but each day I felt better as I lost pounds of water each day. I don't recommend surgery as a way to go about a net loss of 2 pounds in a week, but know that at least in my case surgey/IV yields major short term water weigh gain.

Current weight: 197.8
Gained 0.8 this week6 -
Starting weight January 1, 2017: 188.6
Goal weight: 136.6
Current weight February 4, 2017: 181.4
Total weight lost over 5 weeks: 7.2 pounds
This week's successes: I have logged for 37 days in a row! Started a morning weight lifting routine. As the days start to get longer I am finding it easier to get up in the morning, which makes it easier to get in a morning workout.
This week's challenges: Working 10-12 hour days makes it tough to fit everything in. I was getting a little frustrated that my weight loss had stalled for a week or two, morning weigh ins would go up and down, but finally started trending down again. But when I look at the overall weight lost over the 5 weeks, I realized I am even a little ahead of the game. Slow and steady wins the race. Right?!?12 -

This week success: Staying away from treats brought in the office (doughnuts, coffee cake, and candy). Made it to the gym 4 days this week. Took some time for myself and meditated, it was wonderful!
This week challenge: Trying to stick to my food plan with all the junk food around. Feeling really down on myself and beating myself up when I slip up or didn't go to the gym.
Next week goal: Give myself a break, focus on something non-weight related.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!!!!!10 -

January was a great start - 7.9 pounds for the month. I am invigorated for February. Here in Australia it is warm, sunny and I am eating fresh fruit and veg as my preference. Dessert last night was a big bowl of lychee and this morning it was mango with my breakfast. I have started with more exercise so I hope that helps with consistency.

I absolutely love coming back here and reading everyone's posts between weigh-in days, especially on days like today when I worry about how my food control will go. It gives me motivation!
I have a Super Bowl party to attend tonight, and we were told to bring our favorite Super Bowl foods. I planned to bring mozzarella sticks, and I'm still going to, but after reading one of MFP's blog articles on how to stay on track during game days, I decided to bring a veggie tray as well. My plan is to fill up on veggies, indulge a little bit on some of my favorites that I don't have very often (but don't go overboard), and to limit myself to only one alcoholic beverage.
My TOM is coming up too, and weigh-in day is only 2 days away, so it's especially critical that I'm good tonight! Wish me luck everyone, and good luck to you all getting through game day cravings today as well! Go Falcons!16 -
