    Struggles or successes of your week: I'm honestly surprised! I had food poisoning for more than half the week so didn't even reach my calories for 6/7 days- plus went to the gym 5 times. I suppose it's good that my weight's still consistently getting smaller, but for this level of work it's still a little discouraging. It seems very unlikely I'll hit my goal for the month at this rate, but I'll keep plugging away!

    Total weight loss: 3.4

    This week was a little discouraging as I over ate on the weekend and the weight went up to 283.8. But it appears I am getting back on track with my better eating habits. It's good to see it drop back down to 280.6. But not where I was hoping to be at this point.

    Struggles or successes of your week: I overate a lot on saturday with popcorn, tango ice blast and then pizza! But it was worth it to see The Hobbit. I've stuck to my calorie goal since saturday though so I'm a little discouraged at not seeing any loss. It might be my steroid medication, though. I expect to lose in the next couple of days.

    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.

    + I am now able to eat only one square of chocolate in a sitting. VICTORY!
    - I'm actually anxious about going out of town for the week-end. I made myself a bag of healthy snacks to keep me in check, but I will be eating mostly restaurant and I don't like to be scared. It's not healthy.

    I'm on track, only 4 pounds to go from today! (Note: The weight loss looks a little extreme, but that's because two starting conditions inflated my starting weight: 1) I was severely constipated from painkillers post 12/28 surgery, 2) I had been eating carbs after the surgery, and quit eating them 1/17).

    Struggles or successes of your week (1/22): I went back to the gym /O/ I'm happy and a little sore. I hope that the next week will be less painful. :wink:
