    I have changed my weight in day to Friday. Saturday is my one cheat day, so weighing in on a Sunday was not a good idea.

    Name: Julie
    Height: 5'4
    Starting Weight (3/1): 176.5
    Goal Weight (3/31): 170.0

    3/27:

    Loss/gain for the week: -2
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -2

    Struggles or successes of your week: Changed the amount I was allowed to eat. Was actually eating to little and not losing. New calorie count seems to be working great for me.

    Loss/gain for the week: -6.4
    Loss/gain for the month so far: -6.4

    Struggles or successes of your week: I feel like I've had more struggles than successes! I made a rule for myself that if it's after 7pm and I haven't eaten dinner yet, then I'm not eating dinner that night. If I get hungry I stick with water or hummus and veggies. Usually when I go to bed around 930-1030, I am really hungry so it's been a struggle to stick to my rule but I did it! Everyone in my office loves to snack and everyone is a chocolate fiend, so it's been fun trying to avoid all the Easter candy. I did give in once, but I figured that was ok because I only had one and it was a treat - I can't quit chocolate forever!

    going strong for the first week, hopefully i can keep this up. i did end up eating after 7 some days and i did eat unhealthy things when i knew i shouldnt, but diets shouldnt be so strict you cant enjoy your life anymore, you need to let lose sometimes

    Struggles/successes of the week:
    I had a good week and I was able to walk often, which helps. I just wish I would make healthier choices when we go out to eat. It's harder to resist temptation when we go out rather than eating at home. I don't want to live like a hermit though!

    Struggles or successes of your week: this was a good week in terms of I didn't cheat once and no alcohol. I was a bit annoyed as I hit 131.4 on Monday then got my period and bounced back up into the 134 range and it literally took all week to get back down but I was determined and stuck to my eating and no alcohol and am back there. This also makes 7 days without wine. Probably a record for me in the last few years.
