Struggles or Successes - Holy cow, what a great weigh in! I'd increased my water consumption this week as I was retaining fluid BAD last week. It worked! I also kept a closer eye on my fat intake as it was dropping lower than it should. I've completed C25k W5D2 inside and W1D2 outside. Today was my 6 month anniversary on this WOE, and I'm down 86# and 45.5 inches. My struggle this week remains the heat snd humidity... it takes a lot of will to force the exercise when you sweat sitting still.

Struggles or successes of your week: I am going to try to do better during the week so I don't have to make up for it on the weekend. That has been working OK but I feel like if I control myself better Monday-Friday I could lose a little over 2 pounds a week.

Struggles or struggles for the week I have a goal of working out in the gardenyardwork at least 30 minutes every day I used to do this just on weekend but feel I need to add it to a daily activity. I feel like I would lose more weight by this.

I love the idea of original starting weight, too! I've also added my highest known weight as well.
Struggles or Successes - I've had a great week! I've exercised well every day, added some strength training, eaten within range. Struggles continue to be the heat and humidity which make me retain fluid, I haven't slept well and I've slacked a bit on the water.
