I had a good first week, stayed focused & eat within my calories. I didn't hit my exercise goal having only run once (4.6 miles), but I'm not concerned about that as it was my first run in 2 weeks. I'm going to hit my running goal this week & add a gym session the following week. Not drinking alcohol has not been a problem so far, I've actually enjoyed not touching a drop of alcohol and I normally love a drink or two. I'm going to keep taking one week at a time & stay focused.
Please feel free to add me as a friend.
Good luck everyone & keep up the good work, you can do it.

Well, I haven't gone walking every day like I wanted to, but it has been -30 for a week now, but I've managed to replace it with some strength training. I have cut back on the chocolate like I wanted to. A lot less binging. I hope to keep up the progress.

So far so good on goals ... I've logged all my food, worked out 6 days last week and hit the 1st 2 this week, only worked in extra cardio one day but its a start! My proudest accomplishment is getting up early the last 2 days and working out in the morning.0 -
You can and will do this!
Think about the biggest reason why you want to loose.. and have that become the focus!0 -
Thanks! I'm not a runner either, but this is my start. I turn 35 at the beginning of May, and one of my goals is to run a half marathon. Maybe run/walk - just as long as I complete it! 0

This week's weigh in results has surpassed my initial expectations. The Paleo diet or otherwise known as the Whole30 day program has really been hard. It's been so hard that I've decided not to be as strict as they would have me to be but it's not possible for me that is. ;-0 And even in my own hybrid version, I've been successful as far as weight loss is concerned. so here are my results for this week. My social anxiety triggers did a number on me yesterday, and I broke my diet with two sour cream donuts, but I did my best to offset the damage by working out to P90X3 last night. The workout felt good, but I won't lie and say the donuts didn't taste good, 'cause they did. But I wish it was just because I wanted a treat and not because I was acting out based on anxieties. Oh well, today is another day and another opportunity to get better.
SW: 232.6
CW: 219
GW: 210 for the month
Goals this month:
Keep a consistent workout and diet routine, and to not allow my triggers to stand in the way.
