Loss/gain for the week: - 3 pounds
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: Two months without bread and i dont miss it a bit. Also cut sugar but allow myself once a couple of weeks a small piece of chocolate.
Struggle to drink the right amount of water, i have 4-5 cups a day. Have to try harder to drink at least 8 cups daily. Many different forms of exercise makes me happy! Hope the weather gets better so i can continue my walking outside.

Here we go!

Loss/gain for the week: 2.8
Loss/gain for the month so far: 2.8

Struggles or successes of your week: This was a good week in terms of eating and no alcohol. I was annoyed in that I weighed in on Monday at 131.4 and then after eating well and doing everything right I bounced back up to 134.6 and spent the week getting rid of it. It know it was water weight related to my TOM but still...I was like a total tease. Lowest weight yet! Then snatched away and no having eaten really bad/good things to show for it. But the 7 days without alcohol is a major victory. Probably haven't done that in about 3 years.

Struggles or successes of your week: yesterday had supper at friends' who are great cook, ate reasonably but... ate too many chips in the evening - Lesson learned: better to have more meat and vegetables and not be tempted by munchies after supper - However, had been extra extra careful all week so obviously did not do too much damage smile: (PS: my original post said 165 on 3/1 and goal of 160 for 3/31 but obviously I must of screwed up something as I could not have lost 7.8 pounds in one week - I changed my starting and goal weights for 160 and 155)
