    Yay!
    I'm starting at 173.6 lbs. My goal is to get to 169 by the end of the month. I also want to go to the gym 2x's a week so my knees hurt less.

    I'm not doing terrible with my goals but I can't say that I've been on point with them every day either. I have gotten behind a few times with my logging but have back logged, I've been able to exceed my steps every day so far, but I haven't been walking like I planned. I'm still happy with the how it's going but I can do better too.

    How are you doing @Alioth?

    Joining in a little late!

    @WifiresGettingFit Nice work exceeding your steps! :-)

    I just came off birth control and am continuing to lose weight until I'm successful at getting pregnant. So far I've lost 25 pounds in prep, so I've developed some good habits this last year.
    My habits and goals for this month:
    1. Lose a pound a week to get down to 174
    2. Continue my boot camp attendance 3x a week.
    3. Continue walking on my breaks and at lunch every day at work.
    4. Start doing hip/pelvic exercises every day to stabilize my weak hip
    5. Don't cheat at tracking calories!

    I am failing. At least I'm not gaining, but I'm not losing either. Just can't seem to find the motivation to stop snacking and going over my calories.

    I know it isn't the goal but not gaining is still a win in my book!

    I've started counting points. I'm doing the old Points Plus system with weight watchers (found a website with a spreadsheet that's free, that also had a calculator to get my allowance and all that), not sure what it is but dealing with a smaller number seems to be making it easier. I still have had some very indulgent days (the weekends mostly) but I do seem to be doing better by combining the too. I wouldn't say I'm not following it 100% and I'm still logging into MFP so I make sure I'm meeting other nutritional requirements that the the Weight Watchers system doesn't track. This also has me typically eating less because otherwise it can get very time consuming.

    Motivation tends to not be there when you actually need it, at least that has definitely been the case for me. Determination has gotten me a little further but it wanes too so I've just resigned myself to the fact that this process is going to suck and I'm not going to enjoy it regardless of what I do and that has kind of been freeing and I seem to be going in the right direction again. At least for now. haha. Because if I'm being honest, I've been here before.

    Check in time! How did you do on your goals? @Alioth @VoicedJoy22 @puffbrat
    Goals:
    1.) keep meeting or exceeding step goal ACHIEVED!
    2.) continue to log food ACHIEVED!
    3.) walk 2x a week FAILED

    Well all things considered, I didn't do too bad. Now if I could just achieve a deficit consistently, I'd be getting somewhere. haha!
