    Weight lost/gained this week:1.8
    Weight lost/gained this month: 1.8

    Successes/struggles this week: This is usually my bloated part of the month so honestly stunned that I lost the weight. I have been exercising a LOT of will power over food most of this week which has helped. I've also increased my level of protein and fats in my diet and dropped a little carbohydrates while I still have the self-control to do it.

    Next week might be interesting though so looking forward to seeing if I can stay on track.

    I was going to wait until Sunday to post this week but I'm worried I'll forget...

    Name: Bridget
    Age: 24
    Height: 5'7"

    Start Weight (26th February): 235.6lbs
    Goal Weight (1st April): 228lbs (aiming for a bit fewer loss in pounds than I'd like because of grad school)

    5th March: 236.6
    8th March:

    19th March:
    26th March:
    1st April:

    Weight lost/gained this week: +1
    Weight lost/gained this month: +1

    Successes/struggles this week:
    -Struggles: well, I gained a pound and only made it to the gym once and next week is going to be a struggle just to stay above water in terms of scheduling...
    -Successes: I'm going to look on the bright side and comment on the fact that last night I started really stressing over a quiz but I managed not to go raid my kitchen for every sweet junk food there possibly could be and instead drank a full bottle of water. And today, after a slap in the face of a quiz where I discovered I studied all the wrong material I went to the store and wasn't interested/feeling like I HAD to have more junk food/candy/sweets, instead I bought peppers, cucumbers, broccoli and milk. The most unhealthy things I bought were slices of cheddar cheese and a box of Lean Pockets. I also managed to avoid having to buy one of the triple chocolate cookies at the campus coffee shop that have become my weakness recently.

    So in short a small win despite gaining a pound. Hopefully I can get myself to stop stress eating and convert stress eating into going to the gym when I'm stress.

    Successes/struggles this week: I am figuring out lately that I need to have more protein earlier in the day to help me not to be hungry later in the day. I have been feeling better with eating less and exercising more. Who knew that would work ;)

    Weight lost/gained this month: -0.2 kg

    Struggles this week: I'm still recovering from a bit of a funk and I've been rather stressed this week which has been really hard. But the biggest struggle this week was the bake sale I did. I spent a few days preparing and all day long baking lovely delicious smelling things. I ended up eating a few cookies which wouldn't be too big of a deal, except (because I'm trying to get rid of it) they're all full of gluten, wheat, and dairy so I paid dearly for my moments of weakness. That was Tuesday and I'm still recovering from it. Feeling like a broken record- but I have to keep telling myself it's sooooo not worth it. I'm also still having trouble doing all the exercises my PT put me to, I think partially because it says 3-4 times a week and my brain keeps saying -meh tomorrow? I might just do it 5x a week that way I have definite on and off days.

    Success: I did figure out that I am almost definitely allergic to wheat. I kneaded some dough for my bake sale and got a rash up my arms. I guess it could be the yeast in the dough, but either way a positive reaction means that I am right about my guesses of what is making me sick. I also found out that lactose may be okayish, but garlic probably isn't. (Bit heartbreaking because ALL of my savory recipes have like 3-6 cloves of garlic in them.) It's a slow progress, but I'm really happy that I'm starting to pin point exactly what has been causing me issues for the past few years and that I'm finally dealing with it. I also got a new inhaler which seems odd to put in the success pile, but it's really helped me get more active without constantly worrying about being able to breath. It's honestly been liberating.

    Struggles this week: Returned to work (teaching) after almost 2 months of vacation AND got my period on the second day back. Meal planning, stress, and getting enough sleep will be more of a challenge from now.

    Successes: Exercised every day despite my cramps and low energy levels. 4 Days X 30 Day Shred Level 2; 3 Days C25K (finished week 4 on to week 5 now). Managed to be over 12,000 steps several days last week.

And wore some jeans I haven't worn in more than 2 years. So there.. yay! Next goal is to get more gym visits in....

    1st March: 215
    8th March: 209

    Weight lost this week/month: 6lbs

    Successes /struggles this month: stuck to eating only healthy foods, except one treat and completed the exercise I said I'd do. Also did two 'meat free' days which I'd pledged. Cons: baby is bunged up with the cold/teething and we're all fighting it off for now. Probably didn't eat as much as I should have, hence the rapid weight loss, so not so worried if it levels out next week.
