    1st April:

    Weight loss/ gained this week: -3 lb
    Weight loss/ gained this month: -7 lb

    Successes this week: Still doing a great job resisting temptations! This week we had a yummy Mexican catered lunch and 2 (!!) cakes. I fully enjoyed my lightened up Mexican lunch and no cake and didn't feel weighed down like everyone else! Last night we went to a fun upscale sports bar with sinfully delicious food. My friends ordered pizza, fancy and delicious tater tots, and other goodies, my boyfriend had chicken and waffles, and I had...a beet salad! Only one beer for me as well. My salad was small, but I was proud of my choices. I do not need to eat to have fun! That is my new mantra.

    Also have to mention that I hit my 20 lb goal this week (162)! I'm not sure what my ultimate goal weight is, but I'm guessing that I am close to half way there now :)

    Struggles this week: Just like last week, working out has been a struggle for me this week. I skipped three days and on Friday reached out to my boyfriend and MFP friends for help. I was going to get started back on Saturday but decided on Friday, no, today is still in my control so I did my video Friday evening. It is amazing how much harder it is (physically not mentally) to work out in the evening, and I struggled HARD. It was terrible but I am proud of myself for doing it. This week I am back and WILL wake up every morning and just do it!!!

    Recalculate goal loss for 1st April. ONEDERLAND. 199 pounds.

    After struggling with a very bad knee all week which scuppered my exercise plan I'm pleased to announce a great weight loss this week, probably my best ever since my first week.
    WATER ! I challenged myself this week to drink 5 x 0.5 litres of water (plus a couple of cups of tea) every day. I filled the bottles in the morning and put them in the fridge and endeavoured to drink them all. Well. It looks like it has helped a lot with my weight loss. I'm doing the same this week and still can't exercise so hope it has another positive effect.

My supplements arrived on Thursday and I am trying to get organised so that I have the correct ones with me at the right time.

    Weight lost/gained this week:-1
    Weight lost/gained this month:-6

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Have pushed through the minus 80 pounds barrier thus far with this weigh-in. Not quite as big of a loss as I had hoped, but still progressing and coming to terms that it likely get a little tougher near the end, and then a whole new battle will unfold.

    Very happy with my running progress and often excited to actually go do it. Nasty weather has made it tough some days though with a wet, stormy pattern finally returning to the NW coast and the thought of willingly going back outside (after working in it most days) in 40 degree, wind-swept downpours has been tough. The feeling of satisfaction when I have done so though has definitely been worth it!

    Successes/struggles this week: I worked out Sunday through Thursday last week and ended up hurting my ankle so missed my Friday and Saturday workouts.

I think he needs to come visit more. I'm going to reward myself with a pasture walk this morning. If I can lose another 2 this week I will be happy. It's not the 10 I was looking for but slow and steady wins the race!

    Struggles this week: 7lbs on after a weekend in barcelona. Now I know I over ate, but 7lbs!!! :'( . And even two days later it's not come off, so its not water weight. Back to the beginning. I doubt I'll meet my March goal weight now.
