I took a little break this week and wasn't as careful as usual with counting calories. During the week I still stayed close to my limit but over the weekend I ate well over it, probably somewhere between 2500 and 3000 calories. So, a little gain was expected - I'm actually surprised it wasn't bigger.
All in all, I'm happy with this month's results - I lost even more than I was hoping for. Now I'm ready for new challenges. In March I plan to work on my fitness and including more fresh vegetables and fruit in my diet, I also hope to lose some more weight, but primarily my goal is to get a bit more muscle definition and lose some fat.0 -

Struggles/successes this week: Ugh!! I'm retaining so much water right now. At the risk of TMI, my husband and I are going through some fertility treatments at the moment. The injections I take always cause a 3-6lbs weight gain in the middle of my cycle that usually goes away in a couple of weeks. True to form, I began gaining 1-1.5lbs/day starting at the beginning of this week. That makes it incredibly difficult to determine how much weight loss I had this month. I weighed in at 233.6 on Sunday, but I know that at least 3 of those lbs are water. I'm just going to use the last true weight, which was 231.2 and call this month a 4.6 loss. I'm happy with that.

Struggles/successes this week:
Well, Valentine's Day weekend definitely screwed me up and I spent the next week making up for it. I was sick the all last week and wasn't able to work out, but made sure I stayed under my calorie limit. I'm only down less than 3 pounds for the month, but at least it's a loss! I'm finishing Les Mills combat this week and I'm excited to see my results and I'm going to work for an even bigger loss for March!0 -
