    This sounds great!

    Last week:

    Weight: -1.4 lbs
    To Goal: 8.6 lbs
    Strengths: Tracked calories every day even when I knew I was going to blow my totals :)
    Weaknesses: Gave in to a craving for a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich on a day I didn't have the calories to spare.
    Goals: Yoga twice this week, cardio every other day, keep tracking calories

    count me in too!!! :) I am using Isagenix products & just started to incorporate Creation's Garden products... upping my protein & monounsaturated fats, upping my raw veggies & continuing to change up my workouts weekly so my body breaks the plateau! I also need to jumpstart as I got a bit lax at the holidays & ate way too many easily accessible treats. :)

    Just reporting back.... doing really well so far. I've been sticking to my running plan which has me going 3-5 miles about 5 days a week. Sometimes I have one day with a longer run. I have been tracking my food in MFP too and I'm glad that I've stayed really close to 1,200 on average too. Even with a 4-5 mile run, I am lucky if I get a 1,800 burn a day so that is a plan that works for me so far. I'm shooting for 1-1.5 lbs per week loss while still having enough energy to run.

    I try to only weigh twice per week but last time on was 147.5 which was down 2.5 lbs from my starting weight (sure the was some water in there originally.)

    Have a great week everyone!

    sounds good! I definitely need the kickstart back and another 10lbs in 6 weeks would be a great step in progress to keep me motivated!

    Sounds fun! I'm in :D I like to have small goals. I find it helps you to stay on track ;) (and break down that huge goal to reasonable pieces lol)

    Have lost a bit since last week, but I'll go with a starting weight of 158 lbs :D and hope to reach 148 lbs by 28 Feb!
