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

Successes: I worked my way up from doing 6,000 steps to doing 10,000 + every day. I am walking almost every evening for at least 30mins to hit that target.
Struggles: I had a bit of a wobble on Sunday. It was a foul day and my mood matched the weather. Ate into my exercise calls big time. Couldn't believe my eyes when I got on the scales on Monday and had dropped 1 lb.

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

Successes: I have kept over 10,000 steps every day and managed to keep fairly close to my Basic cals without eating back exercise cals. I have lost another 0.5" off both waist and hips.
Struggles: 2 Late nights were a struggle as this is when I tend to waver.

Week 3
Weight lost/gained this week: 0
Weight lost/gained this month: -2

Successes: I have kept my daily steps above 10,000 and have been mostly keeping my daily cals around 1200.
Struggles: Too many social events so was was eating to much unhealthy stuff so no weight loss again this week.

Week 4
Weight lost/gained this week: 0
Weight lost/gained this month: -2

Successes: My weight has stayed steady for 3 weeks.
Mostly hitting my basic daily calorie goal each day and consistently exceeding my 10,000 daily steps goal.
I lost another 0.5" off my hips.
Struggles: Plateauing so didn't meet my June target.
I had a meal out on Saturday night which meant I had to eat into my exercise calories.
Fortunately, I had walked quite a bit in the afternoon, sight-seeing in Belfast with some out of town friends.

2 lbs short of my June weight loss goal.
However, I am 3 lbs ahead of my half-year goal for 2015.
The drop in inches means that clothes two sizes smaller are now hanging off my shoulders, so not disheartened.

Determined to stick with this into July.

Successes/struggles this week: lost a bit overall and that is good. Maybe I can reach my goal but even if not I got very close - happy me! I did regular exercise but I had a bit of a rough weekend when it comes to food drink and sleep (=lack of). lots of fun though but I am very tired and that makes me vulnerable in terms of wise choices today. No gym tonight as I just want to go to bed. Will try to fit some in tomorrow. Before the weekend I was really good when it comes to calorie deficit, burned calories... but did not lose much, even had a gain in between and that left me a bit frustrated. I can feel the first excitement slowing down and that's a dangerous thing. I hope to feel more energized after a good night's sleep and carry on. Really hope there will be a July follow up on this as I weigh myself daily and here the overall tendency is clearer to see.
Yesterday I was down to 83.1 and I kept my calories and went to the gym so I was hoping to reach my goal. well, didn't happen but still 3 kg gone, hopefully for good!

Successes/Struggles: Thrilled that I met my goal despite some real ups and downs! Also glad that I set a modest goal to make that doable. I always want to set it at 2 lbs a week, and I'm always disappointed when I do that. Slow and steady isn't as exciting but it actually works!
