    Struggles or successes of your week: It's been hard but I've avoided fast food this week. I did go out to eat twice but checked calories before going and stayed under most days. I think I was carrying some serious water weight from over eating so I'm thinking the next few weeks will be sad ones lol but I'm glad I got a great start.

    I have actually been eating at maintenance for a week so not surprised by this gain. Next week I go back to eating at deficit, plus I'll be doing the Daniel Fast with my church so I'm sure I'll be losing.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I started a new job this week and I have been sitting on my butt for 8 hours/day during orientation and have not been planning my meals very well either. I have been tracking everything but I might need to bring my calories down a bit. I also might be gaining a bit of muscle mass since it had been a number of months since I've done any working out. Anyway, next week is a new week! :smiley:

    Loss/gain for the month so far: -5.4 lbs

    Struggles or successes of your week:
    It was my first week back so of course the number is bigger than usual. I still count it as a success. Not one day was I over my calorie limit and on many days I was under by over 100 calories. I didn't have a single snack 5 of 7 days.

    Do you many calories you waste on snacks? A crapload!

    However my weakness was definitely a lack of exercise. I got in 11 miles in 3 days, but then I stopped exercising due to time, my neighborhood, and how dark it's gotten each night.

    I already have plans this weekend to walk a minimum of 5 miles combined, hopefully closer to 7 or 8. And I ordered a swimsuit so hopefully when it get's here I can start swimming laps.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I actually thought I was doing good. Logged faithfully, started daily exercise and getting at least 4-6 cups of water. The daily exercise & water are new so maybe it backfired. But it's the right thing to do to be healthy so I will remain optimistic that next weeks will be better.

    Struggles or successes of your week: Ribs still sore from accident. Exercise limited to walking. The gain was a surprise. Thought Iwas tracking better than that. Wish it was as easy to jump backon the wagon as it was to fall off.
