Husband generally likes to eat rubbish, and I cave. Pictures at the weekend and a meal out at Bella Italia. Sunday lunch at my parents and peer pressure at work for junk food/ canteen food.

Successes/struggles this week: Successes-Made the 10# weight loss goal for January a day later when I weighted myself this morning. I've been trying to get my challenges done at home, I missed this morning so I will get them done tonight after work. Been trying new recipes for food prepping and they've been good successes to keep my on track. Struggles-have not been getting to the gym in the early morning like I need to. But I am getting up earlier to make it happen so I'm getting there. Water intake-I seem to be always a few cups shy of my 1-gal per day goal.3 -

-I've been dealing with the same type of events on my calendar too...I'm arranging my day's food plan to allow for the 'cheat'...eating lean earlier in the day and getting lots of water in before the event. I've made myself a deal, if I have a cocktail-glass of wine, beer, etc...I have a full 24-ounce glass of water with it. I find that I'm drinking less but still enjoying with others. And with the extra water intake, I'm finding that I do enjoy the snacks and party food but I don't eat as much. It's really helping. Plus I use smaller plates, keeps me on track.

Successes/struggles this week: Just getting back into the swing of things as I haven't logged on in a year! I managed to gain 25 lbs back from losing close to 100 in 2014-2015.
My struggles will be cutting out carbs and caffeine.2 -
I'm hoping we check in often, cuz I need accountability BADLY! How does this work? Can we chat daily?

Struggles this week: just starting my weight loss journey (again) yesterday , so I am in the beginning stages. So I find that I still have my cravings and I want to fall into habits of snacking. I know by this time next week, I will be a little bit stronger!1 -
Seems like several on this challenge like me are starting over after being away from healthier eating. Good luck to all in this month's challenge!2

Successes/struggles this week:
I am quite disappointed with the scale as I worked very hard this week, felt in my body that I was losing. I had a big success when visiting a friend and did not partake in the junk food and when out at a gourmet burger joint, only had a veggie burger no bun with steamed broccoli no fries. I feel very frustrated
Hope everyone had a good week and motivating thoughts to all of you for this week! Sarah, Ontario, Canada

Successes/struggles this week: This week I worked soooo hard. So hard in fact, that my body is KILLING me. I wasn't sure I'd show a loss as I can only imagine the healing my body is currently doing...haha. But I was super happy with this loss! My challenge this week is that I'm attending a cooking class tomorrow night (with decadent foods)...and then I'm spending the full day this Saturday with my bestie doing a Julia Child cooking day. I'm going to have to make sure the rest of my diet is on point and that I move my sore body as much as possible 2 -

Hey Sarah! I know that loss was frustrating for you...but sometimes the body just likes to make you wait to see your results! My husband was like that last week. He had ZERO loss and was so bummed that he went off plan for a couple days. Fast forward to today and he had a HUGE 3lb loss (His total loss goal is 20lbs). So it showed up...just a bit later. So keep keeping at it and maybe it'll show up next week
BTW...I'm from Ontario too! 1 -

Successes/struggles this week:It is a win and I will take it. They say 1 lb a week is healthy and that is what I am ultimately looking for, health. I was able to make reasonable food choices even with the Super Bowl, my mother-in-law, coming off the cleanse. This week will be hard because I am only in town 3 of the next 8 days. All meals prepared and chosen for me in a place where I have traditionally let loose. Sigh. I just have to use what I have learned and apply it as best as I can. Every situation is not ideal, thats life, and I will just have to learn to navigate it outside of the cocoon that is the cleanse.3 -

Repertoire thanks so much for the encouragement. And great job on your loss!
I will get over it but it is frustrating. So now I move forward and try for next week.2 -

Successes/struggles this week: Social stuff is always a struggle. I enjoy my wine way too much. My only success lately is getting back on MFP!
I know what you mean about the wine..I enjoy mine wine too. But I have changed my wine intake habits to include my 24 ounce Starbucks cup of H2O with my glass of wine. If I pour a glass, I pour a 24 ouncer of water too. And I have to finish both if I want to have another glass of wine. I rarely have a second glass.
