    Not bad. I did super good during my son's birthday weekend! Usually I say "It's a birthday and we're traveling!" But I kept to what I wanted. I even went for a run before his party :) I was pleasantly surprised with the photos of me that day too. Today however, I could have done better. I needed carbs for some reason :S So I ate 2 bowls of popcorn. (Oops) tomorrow will be better though. How are you?

    I've been doing well for the most part. It's been 3 weeks and I've lost 6 pounds with just watching my portions and some light exercise. I've been trying to quit drinking soda though which has been a struggle. This week I want to "amp up" my exercise, maybe add in an extra day or work out a little bit more one day.

    My first thought would be muscle gain. You may be losing fat but gaining muscle if you're working out.
    Stress can make it harder to lose weight also. Keep eating clean and exercising and you're energy should start to improve. I'm not a professional- just speaking from experience!

    Hi :) Wow you guys are great! Been doing MFP since mid November and down 20lbs. It's been really hard though. But I'm happy with any results I get. I hope I don't go too overboard on food cuz of the Super Bowl. Anyone have any healthy snack ideas? Do share.

    So I feel like the last week I've kind of lost track of everything. I've exercised a little but not as much as I was and I havnt been keeping track of what I've been eating.

    I usually do my weigh in's on Saturday but am really nervous to jump on the scale tomorrow.

    Keep going yall!!
    Summer is just around the corner. The satisfaction of reaching your goal is far more worth the sacrifices than the taste of that piece of chocolate!!

    Happy hump day folks!
    I'm chowing down on a veggie salad from subway.
    Making good lunch choices pushes you to do better the rest of the day!
    Keep up the work! You all inspire me so much!!
