    I find myself very motivated this year... perhaps the fact that I'm turning the BIG 40 has me in check! So far so good... I am feeling a little sluggish today...perhaps a case of the Mondays! Nothing a good workout will not beat out of me! ;) Make it a great week y'all!!!!

    Glad I'm not the only one, I'm not struggling with food so much, (apart from not eating enough!) but the scales part. I know numbers are just that, numbers, not a reflection of how I look in the mirror or feel, but I just want that little plastic pointer to ease up a bit!!

    BUT, It only moves if I move, so here's to another MFP week and just keep on keepin on!

    I've found it surprisingly easy so far, even having difficulty eating up to my calorie goal on most days, and I've exercised every day except 2, both of which were due to absolutely no time rather than me not wanting to. I'm thoroughly disheartened this morning to find that after losing 4lb last week I have put 1lb back on this week. I know weight on the scales is not the be all and end all but I feel like I've got such a lot to lose it would be nice if I was losing some, even slowly!

    Not giving up though

    Sound's like you're all doing great :) I think I'm finding it difficult simply because I've literally never had to be this disciplined before. I've always exercised but the watching what I eat (and drink :/) is the tough part!

    I'm struggling. But with SAD and the weather we've been having, I know the reason. I'm just ready for spring and to be able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!

    I'm maintaining my weight, but not losing anymore, either!

    Oh I wholeheartedly agree. I look out of the window and it's snowing at present - what I would do for a bit of warmth and sun

    Be careful what you wish for, I'm in Australia and it's been HOT. The heat makes me feel lethargic so working out has to be indoors and early in the morning before it gets too hot.

    But not struggling - I struggled more early on, now I've strung 2 good weeks together, I'm in a routine of exercise, I'm gaining momentum. Just a little disappointed it's not yet reflected in the scales. Tomorrow is a red-flag day for me though so I have to use every bit of willpower to overcome those obstacles...
