Struggles/successes this week: Because I didn't get to go shopping last weekend, I didn't really have a lot of meal prep so we had a lot of eating out and for Valentine's day I splurged some more and ate more too... but I'm still on track and I just try to add some more work out. I also need to keep an eye on my sodium intake, it really is getting out of hand when I'm getting too over.
Here's for better next week!

Struggles: was sick all week so I didn't do as good on tracking. Also my women thing is coming soon so I gain weight when it hits.
Successes: my waist is measuring 2 inches less, stuck with exercise, and I feel muscles!0 -

Struggles/successes this week: had a 3 conference last week, stayed strong and didn't drink at all whilst there. Still ate too much and didn't log it properly and came back heavier than when I left. Still not under the ton yet and I just want to break through because I haven't been under for over 6 months. Hopefully this week I'll get there. Add me to your friends list if you like, my diary is always public. Cheers and good luck this week0 -

Struggles/successes this week: I am joining a week late! Have been a MFP member for almost 4 years- lost 28 lbs. but have been slowly gaining them back in the last 6 months. Need help and motivation!!!
My weight of 145.2 on the 1st was actually a lower than normal reading - my weight has been fluctuating in the 146 range. Regardless, didn't lose any weight this past week. Just started the challenge yesterday so hopefully this week will be better!!

Weight loss/gain this week: -0.6 kg (-1.3 lbs)

Struggles/successes this week: The beginning of this week was very stressful plus it was still TOM, all that led to cravings and I went over my calorie limit one day by more than 600 calories, but I managed to stay on track at the end of the week, so I still managed to lose weight. I was very sedentary this last couple of weeks but I plan to start exercising regularly again this week. I started with T25 in November and finished alpha phase in December - just before the holidays, I did workout occasionally in January but not much. I will go through T25 alpha phase once again and then when the weather will be nicer I will probably start running and doing some bodyweight exercises, or I will do the beta phase, I haven't decided, yet.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: Main struggle was of course the sweets surrounding Valentine's Day. I did indulge in some chocolate, wine and a single box of conversation hearts.
Yesterday I didn't log many entries, because apart from breakfast and a super light supper, I went "all junk" yesterday and had no idea what I ate - it was within reason, not a binge by any means, but it was a low key day so I didn't care about meeting my macros and I treated myself to watching Gone Girl, eating some chocolate kisses (no I didn't keep track but not as many as I would have eaten in the past, which would be half the bag, LOL), and having a couple glasses of wine (no way to knowing how many calories, since it's a local wine that is sweet with no nutrition info.) The kisses and the wine counted as one of my meals and allllll of my snacks, LOL.

Struggles/successes this week:
Hi Fitness Pals! I just jumped on for the rest of this challenge, hoping to keep myself honest with logging my food and exercise. So many people have lost some lbs., this is a great motivator.
Struggle - Going to the gym and logging my food, especially all the WINE I had on Valentine's day.
Success - Doing a morning 10-minute workout from Real Simple magazine. It kicks my boot and boosts my heart rate for the day. It came from this article: 7 ways to boost your metabolism -- http://www.realsimple.com/health/nutrition-diet/ways-boost-metabolism. I can't find a link to the exercises, but Real Simple has many different types of 10 minute workouts.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: This month isn't going the way I would like but I only have myself to blame, I've had way too much bread and and too many salty snacks. I have got to buckle down and get some more weight off. My son is getting married in June so I have need to get more weight off before I go shopping for my dress. I think this year for Lent I am going to try giving up bread and see what happens there. I thought about giving up chocolate but I eat so little of it anyway I didn't see the point. So bread it will be.

Struggles/successes this week: I don't understand why the number on the scale isn't going down, since it was going down at a nice pace in January when I lost 3 lbs. I have been going to the gym/exercising 5-6 days a week and restricting my calories and choosing healthy foods. I am continuing to see my body tone up and the rolls are lessening -- not sure why that isn't reflecting in the number on the scale? I change up my workouts every day, I make sure not to eat before bed. It's frustrating.0 -

Weight loss/gain this week: Almost 3 lbs from last weigh-in.... WOW! I'm guessing it was water weight? (I don't weigh in daily, I can't stand the pressure....)
Weight loss/gain so far this month: 6.8 lbs. Not eating dairy makes it REAL easy to hit my caloric goals....
Struggles/successes this week: After all the V'Day marketing, I made myself some avocado cocoa mousse to combat sweet eating... Still not going to the gym as much as I wanted, and Mother Nature came to pay a visit, so I expect it all to slow down now. It's okay, I feel like I got this. Mostly. Just need more sleeeeeep....0 -
Hi everyone!!!!
Been reading all your posts and very impressed with some HUGE weight loss!!!! But, whatever your situation - loss, gain, same - well done for logging and keeping with the challenge!!!
I've been a bad OP/thread leader for the past few days as I had an indulgent Valentines Day and some comfort eating/drinking late last week when my hubby was away. This resulted in a 2lb gain and a LOT of sulking....as such, I've not been very good at motivating myself, never mind others.
But, you can't keep a good woman down for long and now I'm back!!!!
It's going to be tough (a.k.a impossible!) for me to get to my Feb goal but I'm going to give it a darn good try!!! So for the rest of the month....it's a case of keeping under my 1200 cals each day, running like a crazy lady and fitting in as much exercise/activity as my schedule allows. My kids are off school this week for half term hols so I'm dragging them on walks, swimming, etc. I need to fit my running in either before hubby goes to work (ie, 7am....groan...) or when he gets home (ie, 6.30pm....groan.....). Neither appeals to me as I hate running in the dark but needs must!
Lets rock that next weigh in!!!!0 -
