Well, did my two fasting days on Monday and Wednesday ok and was down a pound the day after that. Now just concentrating on trying to stay within my 2000 cals a day on all the other days. Had 2500 yesterday what with cocktails, oodles of wine and canapés at a party. Now today with the hangover am lying on sofa eating sweets and just had a Nice cold beer
soooooo not perfect but Monday will tell.

My goal is about 2lbs/wk and I've lost one so I'm getting there i guess. I got through my first 2 weeks eating paleo as well so I think I'm on the right track I realized I will actually be attending a friends wedding the weekend after st.patty's day too so theres some more motivation (I have a dress I'd like to wear but it's too small)

Hope others are doing well too!!!

Well I had one day where I went way over my calorie goal (Wednesday at 2600 calories), otherwise I am doing well by keeping my calories in check and working out daily. I weigh in every Friday since I am part of another challenge on MFP to be under my net calories everyday in January. When I weighed in on Friday I had not lost anything probably because I screwed up Wednesday. I will weigh in again on Monday and check in for this challenge, hopefully I am down a little. I did calculate my TDEE yesterday on another site http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ and changed my goals by increasing my calorie goal to 2033 daily and also changing my macros to 40% carbs, 25% fat, and 35% protein. I am hoping that this helps to kick start my fat burn. I work out at least 6 days per week for an hour minimum and have been struggling to get the weight off. I am going to try this new way of eating with my 6-7 days per week workout for a few weeks and see if I start losing at a better pace. I found out yesterday that it is was hard to eat all the protein that I was supposed to eat and also to eat 2033 calories, I got in about 1700 calories yesterday and was low on the protein intake ( only 25%), the higher protein intake made me feel full all day. The good thing is that I have lost 7.5 inches since Dec 29, but only 0.8 lbs.

Hoping the scale shows a loss for Monday????

It's finals for me, so pretty ok considering no sleep. I was over three days, but under most days, so I'm feeling pretty good.

I had a good week--did all of my work-outs, extra cardio, eating within calorie goal. Then Sunday happened--Hubby and I went out to eat and I over did it. But, I did stay active all weekend-sanding and painting our downstairs bedroom. We'll see what the scale says when I weigh in tonight.

My biggest struggle this week is exercising. I've started new meds and the side effects are kicking my *kitten* I also struggle a bit with snacking. Although I'm usually under my calorie goal, I still eat to many unhealthy snacks. I've been eating too much chocolate. I want to look on pintetest for some ideas but my new computer hasn't arrived yet.

I had a rough week emotionally which always seems to lead to bad eating habits. I need to stop this crap and go out for a run or a swim instead when I feel stressed. I hate getting into this type of rut. I lost 30lbs before by just cutting out crap and exercising more. I understand I'm 42 and may have a slower metabolism but surely my willpower shouldn't be so deflated as I feel it is. My Mum is in hospital and has been for the last 3 weeks, nothing life threatening and now it's finally being sorted as to what's being going on with her, I am renewing my green card and I'm also trying to find a new job as the one as I have is ending March 31st. I don't really see any of these as being too overly stressful, a new job should be exciting and I don't think I'll have a hard time lining up another nanny job! I hope.
