    For Fun: Each week, as you post your weights, include one thing you did to boost your motivation or one thing that inspired you during that week. Lately it's just been running trying to catch up with myself. Been meeting myself coming & going. Sorry didn't get to post till today. For my birthday tomorrow I wanted to be under 175lb Hope it sticks.
    Everyone is looking Great let's keep it up. Happy logging! :drinker:

    Good luck everyone. Let's get it done in April.

    This was a bad snacking weekend for me- I went to the farmer's market with my fiance and we got fudge- so rich and so full of calories. PMS also normally skews my weight so hopefully by next week it will be more in line with the numbers of last week. This is my last week of boot camp and we weigh/measure body fat on Thursday so I was hoping some of the numbers would be lower than 4 weeks ago but I'm just not sure it will happen especially at 6 pm. I am going to do better the rest of this week. My goal is to actually stay under every single day. I am going to the beach with my fiance's family in 5 weeks and I would love to look better in my bikini.

    We're halfway through April so I will aim to lose 3 lbs, or approximately 1.5 kg, by the 30th. So I should weigh 77.3 kg by the end.

    I just made a text file and saved it on my desktop. Just edit the file, save it, and copy it to a new post. Seemed easier than scrolling through pages. :)

    April 1 152.8
    4/8 153.4
    4/15 152
    4/22
    4/29

    Motivation for me was not to create old bad habits. I also needed to get my sleep schedule back on track. I also made sure I got my water. I ate less calories on days I didn’t work out. I worked out more (6x) than I had the past weeks (4x).

    Chrysta: “I’m where I wanna be”…..good words to keep the focus.

    Jodiebear: I hear your frustration. I look at your positives that you lost every week since January & your overall progress. You
    will get to where you wanna be because you have the consistency and persistence! Good work overall.

    Starting description about me: I'm 5'4, 17 year old female, and I've been on this journey since feb 2013! I've lost about 85 pounds all in all but I'm not completely finished, I'm still "overweight" for my height. Anyway, my goal is to become healthy, happy, and live an active life. I've plateaued for the last 4 1/2 months so this is me trying something new for motivation :)

    No change since last week.

    One thing I did for motivation this week: signed up for a Half-Marathon in September!

    A word to fabyportillo - You are doing awesome! How inspiring!
    You have come so far, and I know you will reach your goals. Don't let this plateau bring you down. Maybe set a new goal not only focused on the scale, maybe a fitness goal? You have done amazing, keep on keeping on!
