 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.

 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. 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.

 CGW 6/15/17: 186.0
 GW: approx. 157.0 (based on initial goal body fat of 23%)
 UGW: 18-19.5% body fat (18% is 148.0 at 5'9")
 Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 122g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. Workouts consisting of kettlebells and lifting. I also try to incorporate HIIT and Tabata as well.

 4/13/17: 191.4, -1.0
 4/20/17: 189.2, -2.2
 Challenge Loss: -26.8, 52% of the way there and 25.2 to go!. If I keep going, I may meet my initial goal by the 52 week mark (would be 60 pounds lost and a weight of 156 and hopefully below 23% body fat). Now that is some motivation to not screw things up and to keep going!
 This past week's challenge: My husband not being supportive and telling me I'm self-absorbed for weighing my food.
 This past week's successes: Very consistent logging. Still weighing everything, despite what my husband says/thinks. Ate a fair amount of Easter candy on Easter Sunday (intentional), but got right back at it and didn't let the excess calories on one day derail me, which is my historical pattern (all or nothing, perfectionism, etc.)
 My upcoming week: A lot going on with my kids (soccer starts, dance competition, etc.) and more substitute teaching assignments. Meal planning, drinking enough water, planning my workouts/sticking to the plan, and adequate sleep will be important. My exercise routine has been spotty, but I've been getting my steps in (I've average 11k per day so far in April) and the consistent activity goes a long way in keeping my TDEE up. However, I really need to do a better job of fitting in lifting and kettlebells because otherwise I start to feel squishy.6

            Hey, everybody! Dieting for 46 days with a cheat day on my birthday (in the beginning of the month). Weightlifting for 4 days a week. Only a calorie deficit for now, no cardio. I'm having a surgery on my chest in May. I'll put two-three cardio workouts after my weight training, after I recover (I'll not be training for about a month, sadly). Wish everyone luck and the strenght, that is needed, to reach your goals. Here's my stats:
 Starting weight: 308.6 lbs (140 kg) on myfitnesspal - March 11, 313 lbs overall (142 kg).
 Goal weight: About 260 lbs (118 kg). Eventually a six pack (The heavier I reach this goal - the better).
 Current weight: 291.5 - April 22
 Total weight lost: 17.1 (After I started using myfitnesspal)
 This week's successes: Still strict with my diet. Staying under (on) my calorie goal. Lost 5.3 pounds (2.4 kg)
 This week's challenges: Had some problems with my back this week. Hope it's okay tomorrow, so I can do a few more workouts before the surgery.5
