    Goal weight: +\- 120 lbs is my overall goal which is around, from what I've heard, the average ideal weight for a woman. I am more concerned though with the inches around my tummy than my weight so that might change as I lose weight and start seeing a figure lol.

    1/1: 82.66 kg / 182.234 lb
    1/8: 81.86 kg / 180.470 lb

    Loss/gain for the week: 0.8kg / 1.764 lb
    Loss/gain for the month so far: 0.8kg / 1.764 lb

    Struggles or successes for the week: Happy that I lost some weight, especially because I still had leftovers from new years eve lol (that's the last of it now though :wink: ) however I need to work on not comparing myself to others

    I have looked at some kg to lb converters online and I got different numbers so I am just going by the Google converter

    Struggles or successes of your week:

    My successes this week involved not giving in to the saboteur who lives with me that made 3 separate attempts this week to get me off track by suggesting things that they know I'm staying away from for right now, it feels amazing not to give in to things at the suggestion of others. Of course I have a cheat meal once no more than twice a week, but I decide when and what that meal will be. I also have a theory that my morning drink, the first thing I ingest to break-fast right after I get up in the morning is helping keep me on track...yay Vinegarade.

    Loss/gain for the week:-5.9
    Loss/gain for the month so far:-5.9

    Struggles or successes of your week: Water weight is gone I am guessing. that is a huge loss for a 2nd week (I started the week before) but I wasn't 100% committed until this week so i will take it. I cleared my desk out of all food and now I pack a huge bag for breakfast/lunch and make sure it in in my diary before I go to work. I have had 2 days where I couldn't finish everything in my bag, which is better than searching for other food because I am still hungry. I am going to try to keep doing this! It is helping me to make the right choices and decisions. Also I am not really working out at this point. but I do have my fit bit...I checked to see what normal steps were in a day for about a week. (desk job) was getting around 2000 steps aday... now I force myself to get 5000 a day even if it is walking in place at my desk for a few minutes here and there. still not really exercising but am doubling the movement I had before. Baby steps :)

    Struggles or successes of your week: Prior to the holidays my weight was down to 193.5 but I completely fell off the wagon and gained quite a bit of that back. I think my biggest struggle is wanting to participate in what everyone else is doing but I know that ultimately I am the one paying the price. So I joined the gym this week and have moved into the proverbial wagon (forever)!!! LOL. This challenge is a great idea and I love being accountable to someone other than myself, people who understand my struggles and accomplishments!! Thanks and good luck y'all!!!

    Struggles or successes of your week: Started following a vegan lifestyle as of January 1. It's gone very well thus far. Has helped me to eat healthier and really watch what calories and nutrients I am taking in. Have been running multiple times this week (ugh it's cold out!) And overall I feel really good. Hard part is getting out of bed when it's cold out to run outside or head to the gym so I want to improve my motivation there.

    Hope the first week went well for everyone!
