Way behind on my goal of 10 lbs per month, but still chugging along, motivated again this morning as all the JUNK I ate this weekend is making me feel really sluggish this morning. Back on the good stuff and hoping to see results this week.

Has been some good and some bad this week. I must admit that working out is relieving a lot of the stress I'm under at work. Working out has been really easy most days (Saturday after being busy and busier at work, I used that as my no exercise day). Today though was bad. I was hungry even after eating and working out was a challenge. Just felt like things weren't working right. I finished my workout and I stayed on plan. Had a light dinner so that I had enough calories left if I wanted a snack. I did.

I've added a couple new things this week. I got probiotic capsules. I'm not a huge yogurt fan, but one time when I was doing the activia thing, I did feel better (just seemed to give me an overall feeling of health). So, I got these capsules at CVS. I've been on them 4 days now. Obviously they didn't make me feel better today. Don't know how long it will take.

I also never liked oatmeal and know that it is great for breakfast and filling. I did get some of the Special K Nourish with quinoa (I love quinoa) and I also got vanilla almond milk. I don't like regular milk and was very surprised that I really liked the almond milk. I will use it on my cereal. It is also good because it is shelf stable and I usually fix breakfast when I get to work. My frig is small so I don't have to keep it in there until opened. I only bought 8 oz. size cartons.

I guess I'm on track for the challenge right now, but I know anything can happen when it comes to losing weight. I figure if I keep my fingers crossed it will accomplish two things: 1. Bring me luck, and, 2. I can't pick up food and put it in my mouth with crossed fingers!

Struggles , still not logging on as much as I should :-( and weight loss is slow... and haven't lost or gained since last weigh in.

Success I have upped my workouts and having a blast at ZUMBA! its always been my favorite.
next weigh in should be better. I am going to wait until end of next week to weigh in again.

TWL so far since challenge began 3lbs

Just a quick check in to let everyone I'm still in the challenge. Working hard to get back at the weight where I was before a huge diet meltdown last weekend. Fingers crossed that there will be a nice surprise for me on the scale come Monday morning. Have a great weekend everyone!

Sw- 209.4- 14 Jan 2014

Weight on 9 Feb - 196

Today's weight ---- 8-march 14---- 187.25

Loss - since 9-feb-14 - 8.75.

I am sticking to 1400 calls- ( mostly I am below this amount) walking a lot- and added some other exercising in resistance bands etc.
I generally do not eat exersize calories back unless I am really hungry- purchased a fit bit zip- and that does the adjustment for me on mfp .mostly eating clean occasional treat.

Everyone's doing really well keep it up!!!

So Im not doing great tbh! Ive hit a wall!! Im doing bootcamp 3xtimes a week and running but ive actually gained 2lbs since start of challenge! Im not 209lb. Whats annoying me is that i know ive not eatten the best but you know what sometimes you need a break inorder to focus again on what you want from life.

This month ive spent time with my hubby on a night away. ive been to peoples houses for lunch and enjoyed spending time with my babies but im now at that stage after 4 weeks of being less motivated that i need to get refocused and back on track!

im going to my hubbys grandmas for sunday dinner today so diet is outta window but fresh start tomoro! i was also trying at TDEE Minus 20% so that put me at about 1720 cals so now for next few weeks im gonna try following number of calories that mfp gives me and see if that gives me a kick start. it has me now at 1320 but ill see how i feel on this as its alot lower than usual!

On a positive note ive ran my first 10km in just over 50minutes and ive bought my first pair of size 16 (uk) jeans (they are slightly tight but at least they now fasten!) This is my biggest achievement as at my biggest i was a uk size 26/28!

Ive bought a new vegetarian recipe book so im planning lots of nice meals so hopefully ill get back on track!!!!!! Now im off for a run before i go to grandmas!

Just started with measurement last week, but my clothing still fits the same.
