Struggles/successes this week: I actually went to the gym for the first time in forever... I'm always feeling judged at the gym, so now I've been trying to overcome that. And I didn't binge at all (but I did overeat a bit on my birthday!)
Always looking for friends/support! If anyone wants they can add me.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: This morning's weigh in was a bummer since I was down to 142.2 earlier in the week. Maybe it's a fluke? I went to the gym 5 times this week (burning 2,184 calories over the 7 days) and took an intense step class, plus I was really mindful about my eating and calorie intake (2,496 calories under my weekly goal). I honestly could not have done much more than I did this week to lose weight. Hopefully the scale will tell a different story tomorrow, and at the next weigh-in! For now I will continue to keep on the straight and narrow -- I have definitely noticed my waistline being more trim and my legs feeling stronger in the past week.
P.S. I would love to add more friends to help feel motivated, especially other women who are my similar height (5'4") and weight (144 with a goal of 126) -- feel free to send me a friend request!

Struggles/successes this week:Struggle with eating enough throughout the day. Sucess this week was going to a fork and screen at AMC and only eating 2 of my boyfriends buffalo wings. I wasnt hungry because we had a ton of sushi for lunch. Sometimes its hard for me to say no to food in those situations.0 -
I'm in! I just completed the January challenge, losing more than my goal of 8-10lbs for the month. I finished with a 12.8lb loss, and I feel that the challenge motivated me more than anything. Checking in each week was fun, and seeing everyone posting their stats kept me going. Looking forward to a new challenge each month. Good luck to all

Struggles: sugar and I also started exercising again (Zumba and bootcamp) and my muscles have been aching pretty badly so I am hoping they are the cause of weight gain. But I also need to really restrain my appetite and stop binge eating...
For this upcoming week I am really going to try keeping my calories down... 0 -

Struggles/successes this week: I have been working hard to stay under my calorie goals for most of this week, and I am realizing how much I was eating before I started keeping track. I find it frustrating how variable my weight can be (3 pound range throughout the course of a day). I had been down to 164.5 the day before the official weigh-in, but one bad evening of eating put me back up to 165. My goals for this week are to significantly increase my water intake and to try to fit in some sort of brief exercise almost every day.

Good Morning!!!! Well done to everyone who posted their updated weigh ins. Some fabulous losses there. I only managed 0.5lbs despite lots of exercise and keeping within my cal goals. I guess our bodies are mysterious organisms and don't always follow the rules we expect from them! Not to worry....am just going to keep on keeping on!!!!
So anyone else who had a disappointing loss (or slight gain)...don't beat yourself up....keep aiming for your goals, eating healthily & exercise....and those lbs will come off.
Lets do this!0 -

Struggles/successes this week: This is hopefully just my normal monthly weight jump up. Normally I bounce back down by the end of the following week. I did also have a bit of self sabotage this week after freaking out about going bridesmaid dress shopping. I decided in advance that nothing would fit so should stop even trying to care. It meant I ate a fair amount on Friday night oops. My mood and mindset have settled down now though 0 -

Weight loss/gain this week: -5.5 lbs (-2.5 kg) my profile has a different value (lower) as I thought I was just bloated that w/end. Am thrilled. Was going to update my goal weight, but not going to ... as this morning I weighed the same as yesterday, so perhaps the big slow down is happening unfortunately. If every week was like this, it would be wonderful.
Weight loss/gain so far this month: week 1 above
Struggles/successes this week:
After back got better, I did 3 walks. 1 good one, 2 strolls with the kids. Unfortunately freezing fog has caused an issue with my chest this morning, so outside exercise out again for a few days. Just hope I don't get sick..... Am thrilled with week 1, 90% was grand, as I'm snacking constantly and being hypoglycemic I have to. Today it cold and I want more food!0 -
5 lbs in a week is a lot. More than recommended. Good for you. I try for 2 and have to be happy w/1 usually. Stay healthy0
