    Successes/struggles this week:

    My weight is still yo-yoing around a lot. Over the past week I have weighed-in at:

    Tuesday 139.2
    Wednesday 139.6
    Thursday 140.2
    Friday 139.6
    Saturday 139.0
    Sunday -
    Today 138.6

    Is this normal? Can anyone offer some feedback?

    Absolutely normal....weight will nearly always fluctuate due to water/food/time of day etc etc
    Pick one day a week and keep it as your "log" day but by all means monitor throughout if you want to track trends :)

    @Jen2133 yes fluctations are absolutely normal, perhaps more so for us women - daily I go up and down by 2lbs, more when its TOM, the main thing is the overall trend is downwards :smile:

    Start Weight (1st May): 238
    Goal Weight (1st June): 232-234, more would be great but I think this is attainable

    22nd May:
    29th May:
    1st June:

    Successes/struggles this week: Last Friday I started level 2 of the 30 day shred. The hubs is still working out with me. Learned some new moves in level 2, still convinced Jillian's trying to kill me. During level 1 day 3-4 was the worst with all over pain and oddly my right thigh hurt more than anything else. Day 9-10 I was working through some major knee pain. That's not stopping me though. Using the RICE method + ibuprofen helps.

    Results so far: weight is up 1/2 lb but that could be water retention cause my period is coming up next week. TMI I know, sorry guys. lol Not too worried about it at this point. On the plus side my measurements are down an inch except for my upper thigh. No change there yet. The hubs tells me we need to do P90X the next 30 days. Yikes!

    Weight lost/gained this week: -1.5kgs

    Target weight: will be happy to get below 59.5kgs although 56kgs would be a good long term goal

    Successes/struggles this week: Two words...BLOWN AWAY! :o
    So pleased with myself this morning, lowest I've ever been in adult life. My goal was to be 59.5kgs before going to Italy on May 30 so this means I made it with a week to spare. Next week could be challenging as working away so going to try to maintain at least :)

    Weight lost/gained this month: -3lbs

    Successes/struggles this week:
    Struggles: had a big binge on Wednesday when out for dinner with friends, and didn't stay under my calories everyday (I have my goal set to lose 2lbs a week / 1200 cals a day, with a fitbit zip tracking my steps and giving more calories when I move enough)
    Successes: I've lost 3lbs yay! Some of this is probably water weight.
    I've done the strength and flex podcast twice this week, planning to do this again today, then move onto week 2 podcast next week.
    I've made a conscious effort to move around/ walk around more.

    Good luck today everyone :)
