    Struggles or successes of your week: Controlling calories has been the name of the game for the last week. We've gone out to eat 3 times in a week which is unusual for us while on this cut. Got very close to the 8 lb goal for February - so I'm still very happy w/progress. Now on to March!

    Struggles or successes of your week: (2/11) I went home for the weekend and struggled to count accurately. Actually went up to 58.6kgs! But good to see that I've recovered :)

    Struggles or successes of the week(2/17): Can't say I've had any. I was craving sweet things on Sunday and I did eat a little over my daily calories but it wasn't a train wreck. It's the first time I've been in the 57 range so I'm quite psyched about that!

    Struggles or successes of the week(2/24): I went to the gym!!! Twice even! Was sore for days but totally worth it. Work has me tied down this week but will try to get in at least one session at the gym this week.
    I cooked dinner for a few friends two days ago and it was a healthy meal. The problem came when it was time for dessert. My goodness did we splurge! So that was a minor struggle but it doesn't seem to have affected me on the scale which I'm happy about. I've already surpassed my goal weight so I'm not stressing too much

    Struggles or successes of your week: (2/28) It is that TOM hence the gain but I'm very glad that despite the increase in weight, I was still at my goal :D

    I am so excited! This is the most I have seen the scale move in a positive direction in years!! I'm now hovering at my pre-pregnancy weight (albeit I was obese then too). I'm actually haven't been "missing anything" in fact last night was my husbands birthday party and I was able to enjoy a sliver of the cake and be happy with the sliver. I'm wearing skirts I've not been able to wear in years. (Wore one last night). And I had my first, are you losing weight comment from a coworker! So exciting!! Now to set a goal for March!

    Congratulations to everyone who experienced successes and powered through challenges this past month. For those that didn't hit your goals: keep trying and remember it's a journey- there will be times when you have to struggle up hill with rocks in the road but eventually you will get to the other side. Weight loss isn't linear. Persevere.
