    Four pounds down and I already feel better. I expect that loss will slow down, but just have to stay on track. I have three eating-out events this week. I have to prove it to myself that I can have willpower when I am out of my routine.

    YAY! Usually I have trouble focusing on more than one thing at a time. Either my diet is on track or I workout. This week I did both! Now to hold on for consistency.

    Hi all. Starting weight was 168 lbs. weigh in today was 168 but Friday I was 167.5 lbs. I am on my period (started yesterday) so that could be the reason. Hopefully next week will be better! :)

    Hi Kristen - I popped your 2nd week into the spreadsheet! Well done by the way. When you have a chance, fill in your thoughts on how the week went, and you can see what was effective/not effective over the long run.

    Cheers,
    Julie

    Hi Romi,

    Remember to input your numbers into the spreadsheet and share your insights about what worked for you this week. And a loss is a loss, so well done!

    Thanks, will do.

    Since most people read this too...I'd say what worked is what has worked from the beginning - consistancy, planning ahead, and allowing little treats everyday...this is old hat for me, I know that if I keep my calories (log, measure and weigh the food) around 1600 EVERY DAY the loss will come. It's when I say "oh, it doesn't matter, I'll eat what I want and get back on tomorrow" when things fall apart...

    I've fallen off the wagon a little bit this week, I just need 3 consecutive good days with healthy eating and I'd be back on track.

    Well I've gained 2 lbs (checked the scales this morning) and I've been exercising more than I have in weeks! My diet isn't all that bad either...this is really frustrating.

    I just came to write the SAME thing!! OMG, frustrating! I feel like I'm doing so well - hitting my workouts, sticking to my meal plan.... but I'm currently up two pounds. I know, I know - it can be some extra water weight or that the scale will bounce back in a few more days. But man it's discouraging.

    I have weighed in every Monday for years so this group suits me really well. I am in another group until December when I hope to achieve my Ultimate Goal Weight of 11st (154 lbs).

    S.W. 172 lbs

    End October Goal: 161

    I know it's 11 lbs but I have just come back from holidays having put on a little so this weeks loss is going to be very good. I put on 6 lbs after my holiday, so 161 is a realistic goal for me.

    Thanks red_road, I found this group through seeing you joined. Keeping within my calorie goal and exercising is exactly how I lose weight so what a great find.
