    Successes/struggles this week: I am still on plateau even though I am keeping under goal and doing loads of extra cardio now that I have my Fitbit. I may need to look more closely at my carbs/protein/fats balance. On the plus side I am really showing the weight loss that I have achieved.

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm finally back down after my TOM and happy to see my true weight again. I worked out 6 days and ate very well with a couple of beers and not-so-healthy meals that I fit into my calories. I'm officially down 20 pounds since the beginning of the year and my measurements are actually smaller than the last couple times I've been at this weight!

    Successes/struggles this week:
    While I am happy I didn't gain, I'm so frustrated with myself. I log (or write down) my breakfast and lunch, then everything goes down hill. I stop weighing, and just eat without tracking anything. I also had a box of brownies. Yes, I ate the entire box. I'm going to try to stay on track this week, and get moving.

    Congratulations everyone on your successes so far!

    These things happen. Try to plan your whole day ahead and Just keep staying positive :)

    Yeah, It just sucks that it's been happening for years with me!

    Thank you :). Congrats on your loss!

    Thank you so much! :) At the beginning of my journey, I had nothing to wear because I was too big for all of my clothes. Now I have nothing to wear because I'm too small for most of my clothes! My coworker has to tell me when things are too big on me because I just don't realize it! A good problem to have though :) It just goes to show that if you stick with it, that 1 pound every week really does add up!
