Weight lost/gained this month: -1.8

Successes/struggles this week:
Week 1: Getting ready to go on vacation. Road food always kills me and lack of exercise. I plan to really try hard to get in some exercise, enjoy myself but eat in moderation. We'll see!

Week 2: Vacation and road food! Guess I'm going the wrong way in this thing. Not too worried about it, been on vacation and knew that it was going to be higher this week. I just have to put it in high gear the next few weeks.

Week 3: Did a good job at losing the vacation wieght, plus a little bit more. Success for this week, found a new exercise, Pickleball... loved it and it gave me a great burn.
Week 4: Should have been a better loss.

1st July:

Weight lost/gained this week: - 2.9 / 1.3
Weight lost/gained this month: - 6.2 / 2.8 kg

Successes/struggles this week: weight is going down and it starts showing - I love it! During the week there were no major struggles; I had an accidental slip with cheese where I first ate and then checked calories ;-) but that was it. Motivated in work outs. The weekend was a bit harder, I was visiting my parents and there were 2 parties on Saturday! I tried to be fairly reasonable but knew I would be going over my limit. Sunday was not too bad. Today I am extremely tired and really don't want to go to my swim class at all. I am trying to talk myself into it though as it is the last one before the summer break and it really helped so much to have these fixed exercise dates. I find it hard to imagine that I really could be in a normal weight range if I kept on doing this. I seems very unreal. It is still a long way off though.

Goals for this week:

Vary my exercise routine

Goals for this week:
Drink more water.
Exercise every day.
No cheat meal this week.

WEEK FOUR: Had a good week this week. My work schedule was a little wonky this week so there were a few times my calorie intake was low and didn't give me a completion. But I promised myself if I wasn't hungry I wouldn't eat just to make an app happy.
And only 2 more lbs. to go before I meet my June goal! Yay!!

Goals for this week are same as above:
1) more water
2) exercise everyday ( work stress has been minimized so I should be better about this!)
3) no cheat meal this week

Successes: My roommate moved back in after spending a few weeks with her parents... she brought cookie dough, chinese food leftovers, and doritos among other snacks. I didn't have any of it! I stayed strong and didn't eat off my plan

Struggles this week: Weight loss is slowing which is discouraging after two weeks of huge loss. I ate a little extra chocolate this past week, but I also had longer and harder workouts Hopefully some of the slow progress is due to my TOM coming this week. Hoping for a bigger number next week!

Successes/struggles this week: I'm finding it really hard to stay motivated with the scale not really moving the way it has been up until now. And my MFP friends aren't really helping much.

Struggles or successes of your week:
Struggles: I was under eating four days and that killed sufficient weight loss (was hoping for 2 lbs as I was religiously exercising with cardio.) By doing this, I was forcing my body to hang on to the weight to avoid "starvation". Can't under eat the suggested calorie intake! Big mistake! Will try to avoid it in the future.
Successes: My weight didn't move the entire week, but managed to work it off on the weekend again.
