    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!

    Weight loss/gain this week: +1.6lb
    Weight loss/gain so far this month: +1.6lb

    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 :)

    Sun 1st March:

    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!

    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 healthy

    Good for you Carri. Don't overdo. One small step will still get you there. As the weight comes off your back will thank you but not if you abuse it. Maybe you can work in exercises for your back on days you're not doing your planned workout. MFP posted some today in fact. Be safe cuz if you hurt you won't be able to do any workouts.

    Thank you! I sometimes do get a little overzealous. :) I have been doing core exercises (not anything too crazy, planks and crunches and that type of thing) and I actually think that helped my back. But I have terrible posture, and a standing desk at work. I catch myself letting my abs and back slump, and resting my stomach against the edge of my desk, and I think that is a big part of the problem. Plus I moved a lot of furniture over the weekend and kept forgetting to lift with my knee. I took Saturday and Sunday off from working out and will keep it light today. Slow progress is better than none!
