    Struggles or successes of the week: Since I haven't been feeling well, it's been a struggle to hit my calorie goal (I typically have the opposite problem and then some.) I'm hoping that I feel well enough this week to really eat healthy.

    Struggles or successes of the week:

    Struggles: I totally forgot to weigh yesterday morning before breakfast so here I am! I had a lot of struggles this week: two cheat days and not a lot of motivation to exercise. Going to fix that this week! Also, I need to tone down the salt intake BIG TIME! I'm retaining water like a crazy person.

    Successes: I REALLY didn't want to exercise on Saturday, but I ended up going to the gym late and pumping one out and I felt super good afterward.

    Successes of the week: My boyfriend has really begun to embrace my lifestyle and is being very mindful of the food he brings into the house. He comes grocery shopping with me and has begun asking questions about some of the decisions I make.

    Struggles of the week: Sooooo many sweets! First there were cupcakes.... Now there's chocolate-covered everything.... Plus, my co-worker has a candy jar and she tells me (personally) every time she refills it and what she fills it with. Learning how to balance temptation with a small treat here and there is a tricky concept.

    Hi I am currently down 95 lbs and really hoping to hit 100 down before the end of the year. SUCCESS: I spent most of November down due to injury and illness, and didn't gain weight. :)

    Struggles or successes of the week No progress this week. I was laid out sick for three days so hopefully that is the reason. Back to 50 minutes elliptical-ling each night so I should start dropping again.:

    Struggles/Successes of the week: Period bloat, so I'm not too concerned about only losing a half pound. I expect to go down a pound or so within the next few days, because I've been tracking accurately and constantly, even though the PMS craving was so hard. But i did it =D

    Struggles or successes of the week: I've been under my calorie goal every day, but as of today (12/10 - a few days behind again, sorry) I'm up at 195.6. I can't seem to stay away from the 196 area, despite strictly counting my calories. I think a migraine earlier in the week that kept me in my bed and literally had me walking just 600 steps that day was part of the problem. I'm determined to find a way to fit even some light exercise into my daily schedule! I took a 3 mile walk on Sunday and felt great - need to work in more of those!
