    Successes/struggles this week: High stress - Still eating well and exercising (dance classes, plus getting in my 10,00 steps, though a bit less mileage than my record-highs of last week).

    Weight is holding steady... I can feel that I am smaller - I just need the scale to catch up!

    Just want to say "Thank you" AGAIN for the thread. It is so motivate and great to see how well all is doing!!! Thank goodness for MFP and E.

    Weight lost/gained this week: +0.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: 0

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm really disappointed. I had a lot of bad days (I went to London to visit the Harry Potter studios and ate a lot, then had Chinese when I got home, went for a meal with flatmates and was convinced to have dessert, granddad's birthday yesterday with cake, etc.) but I thought I'd made up for it. Next week's going to be even worse! It's Eurovision week! Monday I can't go running as I'm moving my stuff out of uni halls, tuesday I'm going shopping with my sister (so I'll be eating out then) AND getting takeaway for the first semi final of Eurovision, thursday is the second semi final and we're getting chinese, and saturday is the grand final so I'll be getting drunk AND eating a lot! Groan. It's worth it, but...

    Goal Weight (1st June): 134

    1st May: 140.75
    8th May: 140.75
    15th May: 138.25
    22nd May: Goal - 136
    29th May: Goal -134
    1st June: Goal -132

    Weight lost/gained this week: 2.5 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 2.5 lbs

    Successes/struggles: Didn't lose any weight the first week, but happy to see I caught up the second week! Sugar cravings, stressful and time-consuming work week caused some bad food decisions and decreased my motivation and time to work out. My biggest struggle is with motivation and energy lately. Work and life responsibilities seem to be sucking the drive out of me, but the weight loss and healthy changes I'm making are keeping me focused on my goal. This challenge and having mini weekly goals is really helping!

    Weight lost/gained this week: -0
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.4

    Successes/struggles this week: It's always frustrating to not see the scale move when you've worked so hard the week before. I did Les Mills Combat 6 days last week, but I need to buckle down my diet a little more I guess. Since we're headed to Florida for vacation in 2 weeks, I'm going to keep my eating as clean as possible. No more beer (that really screws with my weight) and no cheat meals until we leave. Hopefully that will help bump my loss before we go!

    Weight lost/gained this week: -.6lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: +.2lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: This challenge isn't going so well for me, I've had too many birthday dinners out and struggling to stay under calories, I will keep going though, theres still time for me to lose a little more - because I'm trying to lose 5lbs below what was my goal weight I am finding things really hard - it always was hard for me to get below goal before :neutral:

    Successes/struggles this week: Crappy weather and shin splints put a damper on my workouts, but I did manage to get a couple of runs in. Starting my "official" 12-week half marathon training program this week, so need to get out and run more. As long as I stay honest with my eating, it should pay some rewards with weight loss. *crosses fingers*
