    I have modified my eating habits and have a bum left-knee that I know will get better as I lose the weight. I may not make a entry everyday but I can manage once a week.

    Struggles or successes of your week: logged every day. Made or got close to calorie target everyday. Three times to the gym.

I hope i can stay on track

    Loss/gain for the month so far:

    Struggles or successes of your week: Exercised a lot this week. Started Aquafit 3X a week for 1.5 hours at a time. I think I could have ate a bit better. Still had cookies and sweets in the house, my downfall, but as the numbers show I kept within my calories which I upped to 1500 a day to lose .5 a week.

    Hope everyone had a great week.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I was very successful in remembering to track, but was not so successful at remembering to eat all of my fruits and veggies every day. This week I'm going to work more whole raw foods into my diet to stay fuller longer. BIG STRUGGLE - since I'm trying to cut down on sugar, I kept craving candy and sweets. I caved a few times, but tracked them.

    Count me in. I managed to hit Onderland the middle of December but with the holiday food, snacking and not getting enough water down I have edged back over 200. So I want to get back into Onderland all the way down to at least 190.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I have been successful drinking my water this week, usually hitting around 100 oz. a day. The weather warmed up some the last few days so I have been able to get out and do some walking/jogging. My gym has been closed the last 3 days because they are moving to a new location but hopefully they will be back open today so I can get back in there for my walking (its way too cold outside now) and weights.
