    Age: 24
    Height: 1.59 m (5'2.6")
    Start weight (1st Feb): 58.4 kg (128.5 lbs)
    Goal weight (1st March): 57.5 kg (126.5 lbs) (*New goal: 57 kg (125.7 lbs)
    *I'm setting new goal weight because my start weight was influenced by my monthly cycle - it went up for about 0.7 kg (~1.5 lbs), and I didn't took that in account when I was setting my goal weight at the start of the challenge.

    Weigh ins:

    1st Feb: 58.4 kg (128.5 lbs)
    8th Feb: 57.7 kg (127.2 lbs)

    1st March:

    Weight loss/gain this week: -0.7 kg (-1.3 lbs)
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: -0.7 kg (-1.3 lbs)

    Struggles/successes this week: I actually didn't have any big struggles this week. The only thing that bothered me slightly was my weight fluctuating due to my monthly cycle, but honestly, that isn't such a big problem. My success for this week was staying committed to losing weight and not exceeding my calorie limit. The only things I have yet to change are my eating habits (more fresh vegetables instead of frozen, more fruits, less processed food), and I have to start exercising regularly again.

    Weight loss/gain so far this month:

    Struggles/successes this week: Struck with a really bad cold so had lots of hot toddies laced with honey and brandy and also had lots of fruit. I also couldn't get to the gym for a week. I suppose given the amount of carbs & inactivity a 1lb drop is good. I hope that my next week can see me lose at least 1.5lbs but fear TOM will come into play.

    Hi everyone!!!! So how's the 1st weigh-in going? Had a quick read through and most people are doing really well. So well done everyone no matter what the scales say!!!

    22nd Feb:
    1st March:

    Weight loss/gain this week: -0.5lbs
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: -0.5lbs

    Struggles/successes this week:

    A bit disappointed with only losing half a lb but it's better than nothing, eh? After 5 weeks off the booze, I've had quite a lot of red wine over the last few days....so that'll have slowed down the weight loss. Sigh....

    I've done loads of exercise and stayed within my calorie goal (mostly without eating back the exercise cals too!) and I've stayed away from the sugar & wheat....I even turned down apple crumble at my in-laws house last night!!!!

    So....7lbs to lose in 3 weeks....better step it up!!!!

    Struggles/successes this week: Lots of cakes at work this week due to birthdays. I did have a small slice of one and it was lovely, but it looks like I managed not to scupper my goals. I managed two tough classes at the gym too, but definitely need to do some more exercise.

    Struggles/successes this week: I'm annoyed that I didn't lose more. I gained a couple of pounds over Christmas and I just want them off already. I did pretty good this week with the exception of Tuesday, where I went massively over and basically completely overwrote my progress. Goals for next week: actually be consistent and hopefully start losing steady weight again.

    Struggles/successes this week: I always struggle with water weight at my TOM.I've just learned to go with it and know that I'll have a bigger loss next week. On the flip side, I had a good running week and broke a personal record. I really do feel stronger and more capable.

    Struggles: I've been out of town for work and have been highly stressed due to the nature of this trip and the hours per day I am working. I succumbed to a binging episode two days ago but was able to stop it the following day, and was able to burn all the extra calories I ate.

    Struggles/successes this week: Plateau broken! Ok, a lot of this week was water weight, but I was stuck oscillating between 160 and 162 for days on end so it was about time I got my whoosh. More importantly, I'm looking leaner, so I'm doing something right. This was also my most active week so far this winter, and I'll be keeping that going this coming week.
    Struggles? I'm not sleeping nearly enough. I'll work on that.

    Struggles/successes , Hay this is my best weekly loss since January, maybe the motivation of this forum really works! I have been trying the 5:2 programme and I am finally realising that "eating normally for 5 days" does not mean stuffing my face with whatever I fancy!!
