Week 1: (Struggle) As always, craving for chocolate. (Success) Increased my calorie goal from 1200 to 1400. Probably not everyone would see this as a success, but this indicates that my mindset is changing from 'dieting' to 'sustainable lifelong healthy eating'.
Weekly challenges for myself:
Week 1: Workout at least 5 times this week.0 -

I'm going to join too... Need to weigh myself, so as soon as I'm done I'll put all my details in. Thankyou for organising this, I'm hoping it will motivate me!
I was told I am in remission from my battle with cancer yesterday and so I need to make sure I live my life to the fullest and losing a bit of weight to help me feel good about my body and look good in a bikini for our celebration holiday is the way to go!!!! Xx0 -

Woo! Let's lose it! I originally lost 80 pounds about 2 years ago. I gained 20-25 of it back. I'm not okay with that. Not okay with that at all! It needs to go (again) and then some!0 -
And....welcome to everyone else who has joined us....and again....sorry that this is a general post. I have read all your posts but can't reply to each one individually, as much as I'd love to. Feel free to send me a FR is you like though....just put a note on it saying 'February thread' or something so I know how you know me.
Just a couple of things....
Someone asked re: updating each week - the easiest thing to do is to copy & paste your original post then edit as needed.
Some people mentioned comfort eating due to stress, boredom, anxiety and depression plus finding motivation difficult - I can totally relate....I gained 3 stone (42lbs) over a few years because of comfort eating & stress drinking and have struggled most of my adult life with depression & anxiety (only diagnosed 5 years ago after my 2nd baby was born v. prematurely and we almost lost him - he's fine now BTW!). Anyway....I know how hard it is to battle mental illness and that just getting through the day is sometimes exhausting but eating well and exercising does help....even a walk can lift your spirits. Personally, running is what helps me. Anyway, I'm no expert so can only speak from personal experience but I hope you are getting the medical help you need and support from friends & family.
So....whatever you situation and goals....welcome along and good luck!!!!0 -
I just finished the January challenge with some great results and I'm so happy to have found a new one for February! I tend to get frustrated when my weight doesn't decrease, so I'm aiming low and will be focusing more on my measurements. I'm on my second half of Les Mills combat and hoping to keep the motivation up so I can finish
