Hi everyone my struggles this week was making sure I walked at least 5 days a week for 60 minutes.

My success is not drinking yesterday. And only having one glass of wine the day before.

I also am being 100% honest with myself and forgiving myself often!

I have 55 lbs pounds to lose for my son’s wedding in May 2020.
I realise to be successful long term is slow & easy. I've did many quick fix diets which you never maintain but hopefully this time is different. My main goal is to remain focused on a healthy lifestyle. Snacking mainly on fruit and have 3 balanced meals per day with limited alcohol only on special occasions and not every week. Luckily i enjoy the gym & plan to go to exercise classes 4-5 days per week.

Started this challenge on week 3.
Starting Weight – 195lbs 01/03

This weeks success is to have lost .6 lbs, also exercising more and trying new things. I’m kind of disappointed at only losing.6. I feel like the weight is coming off to slow.
This weeks challenge is to stay with it despite being discouraged.

This week’s successes: Did not exercise all weekend including Monday and nutrition wasn’t the best but still lost a few ounces.
