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.

Week 3
Weight lost/gained this week: -1
Weight lost/gained this month: -2

Success: On Monday, dropped below 13 stone for the first time in 30 years.
Struggles this week: Back up again this morning. Too many meals out cancelled drop in weight at the beginning of the week, but I know that I can do it, now.
Still an overall loss. I have started strength training, so that may be contributing slower weight loss. Ten days to achieved my May goal. I am optimistic.

Weight lost/gained this month: Ignoring the week I wasn't here then 4.2 Pounds

Comments/Successes/Challenges: I was a bit disheartened from 15th May weigh-in as I had only lost 0.4lbs that week however it's dropped off me this week which has been fantastic! On Tuesday though I was battling some demons and it took me so much strength to not give in and buy a take away and some wine. It sucked so hard. I can't believe I didn't give in because it felt like I would feel awful until I did. Thankfully I'm past that now. I have however messed my hip up which may set me out of a few days exercise will see what happens with that

Struggles : Very stressful week testifying at a child custody hearing for a friend, and was good up to last night when we went out for nachos and I over ate, but they were so good and I was so tired and de-stressing

Successes/struggles this week: I've been sick since Wednesday so I'm still not back into my workout routine. It's hard being sick since the only things I want to eat are bad for me but, I'm happy that I only gained two pounds rather than 5 or 6. I'm going to keep on working and hopefully lose what I gained and be back on track to be under 190. I have a plan for this weekend with the holiday, hoping I stick to it!

Lost 10 lbs last Month, will try to lose 8-10 lbs again this May.
I've been consistent with Zumba and 10,000 steps as my everyday exercises and more of healthier options, smaller portions for food.

I had my period plus my daughter being sick this past week made me sleep less and so I felt weak/lazy for more cardio. Hoping for better results this coming week.

Successes/struggles this week: Weekends tend to derail me. I'm glad to see a loss this week, but it's not as much as I was hoping for. I think I need to take a closer look at my eating habits and make some adjustments. It's not realistic to think I'll lose another 4.6 pounds in the next 9 days, but I think I can at least make it to 185.
