    My weigh-in day is Monday.

    1/03: 252.5
    1/09: 245.8-- Running 2 miles/day
    1/16: 236.3-- Running 4 miles/day
    1/23: 225.6-- Running 4 miles/day
    1/30: 221.4-- Running 2 miles/day & weight training

    Weight lost/gained this week: + 4 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 31 lbs

    My legs can no longer handle 4 miles a day, so this week I started running 2 miles (to decrease the amount of stress on my legs) and started weight training. I also incorporated whey protein in my diet to increase my daily protein consumption. Still eating salads and baked chicken/shrimp/turkey. Added tuna as a snack also. Omelettes or oatmeal for breakfast. Nothing but water and absolutely NO ALCOHOL.

    You are doing AMAZING!!!!!

    Thanks. I've been really dedicated to this journey. I want to be 190 by April 11th (My Birthday). I was definitely tested today going to Dave and Busters for my son's birthday, but I declined the food and just had a glass of water. Went home and grabbed a salad and tuna. Each day is more motivation. Thanks for the compliment.

    I've done really well so far and lost 12 pounds - last week I was very inconsistent and didn't lose anything - I am refocusing my diet and exercise by March 21st I want to drop the remaining 8 pounds and continue toning. My work out plan has been running 3x week, circuit training 3x week staying within my 1200 calories daily - I am eating 50% protein, 25% complex carbs and 25% veggies and fruit. I also take B12 and a multi-Vitamin every day. It works well and is easy to maintain :) I noticed a difference last week in my energy because I had pizza one night and buffalo chicken and fries one afternoon-not doing that anymore -

    I agree. Fatty foods will deplete any energy that you need to have a successful workout. I had ribs one day and struggled to get through my daily run. Lesson learned............

    2/6: 219.5-- I believe that the ERA OF THE PLATEAU HAS BEGUN.....
    2/13: 213.2--Plateau destroyed...for now. The culprit??? Turkey meatloaf made for last week's lunch.

    Weight lost/gained this week: - 6.3 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 8.2 lbs
    Overall loss: -39 lbs

    I increased my HITT at the gym and went back to eating more lean meats like baked chicken and turkey. That seems to be the winning formula for me. Less than 3 weeks to go!!!
