Successes/struggles this week: I worked out daily and stayed within my calorie goals so I thought I'd see -1 to -1.5lb drop, but I only got -0.4lbs. I won't get discouraged because I can tell my pants are fitting better and I'm losing inches.

Weight lost/gained this week: since July 1st I've lost .5lb, so I'm starting today (7/5) @ 166.
Weight lost/gained this month: n/a
Successes/struggles this week:
- wine and sweets are my weakness. It is my goal to have only one bottle per week (so 4 glasses), while I'm losing weight.
I can't control myself around candy... If I have it in the house I will absolutely consume ALL of it - typically at once. So, this week I commit to NO candy.
July 8th check-in
Lost 2 lbs
I did well this week with my wine&sweets consumption (since I technically started this on Monday... That was pretty easy lol)... The real test will be from now until the 15th. Fingers crossed & prayers said!
Congratulations on a 2lb weight loss!!! If you like the taste of maple and are willing to spend $15.00 on a pound of candy, Amazon sells Canadian Hard Maple Candies. They are SOOOOOOO good and take a long time to melt. It typically takes about 5 minutes to eat one. My husband loves them!!! They are 60 calories for 3 and so flavorful that 3 typically quenches my taste for sweets. The one pound box has about four giant handfuls of the candies which are about the size of a nickel each. I feel like I am writing an ad. Hahaha... Sorry. I am not trying to tempt you. For me, they provide that balance between pleasure and restraint. Best of luck this week! Sending positive thoughts your way!!!
Thank you @luluforfitness !
This week was bad! I may just try those maple candies. I am Canadian so it's a good fit. Haha

Hello again:)
Start Weight (2nd July): 52.2 Kg (115lbs)
Goal Weight (1st August): 50 kg (110 lbs)
1st July: 52.2 kg (115lbs)
8th July: 53.4 kg (117.5 lbs)
15th July:52.3 kg (115 lbs)
22nd July:
29th July:
1st August:
Weight lost/gained this week: lost 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs)
Weight lost/gained this month: gained 0.1 kg (0.2 lbs)
Struggles this week: Whew slowly got back on track this week, but it was hard. I felt hungry and tired most days as I was at or under goal most of the days. I also lowered my caloric allowance back to 1200 kcal.
Successes: found a new exercise that challenges and incites me. I used to avoid the stationary bike at the gym because I know it burns very few calories, that is if done at zero resistance. Interval training with a high resistance on the stationary bike kicked my butt this week, but I loved it!
Hope the streak continues next week! Good luck to you all!0 -

Hi Siennan,
Don't get discouraged! I was there last week and, come to think of it, having my TOM must have had a big influence on my "ballooning" . It is hard but possible to get back on track. Hugs and let's make this happen!0 -

Weight loss - .7 lbs
Total loss -1.6lbs
Success/struggles - Still not much exercise because of the torn ligaments in my hip but should be able to start some more intense walking next week. Food control was even better this week than last...and will only get better. Happy to see a shift in the scale, even if it's just a little one.
Had my predetox coaching call last night. Ramping up for that to start this Sunday. Starting to wean off of sugar and caffeine over the next few days. Then, going completely raw for 7 days. So looking forward to this reset!
Good luck everyone and make it a FANTASTIC week!
Way to go!!!

Weight loss - remained same
Total loss -1.6lbs
Success/struggles - this was an incredibly busy and stressful week as my step-son got married. Although I didn't exercise as much as I'd like and food options weren't great, I did well with portions and not over indulging in goodies! With 3 weigh in's remaining in the challenge I'm positive and determined to reach my goal!
Cheers to a fabulous week!
You maintained this week and given all that is going on in your life, I am impressed! Have a great week!

Successes/struggles this week: Struggled with weather keeping me inside(Those Georgia thunderstorms are not to be toyed with), not exericising alot of days and had trouble saying no to sweets cravings. Success with staying under or close to my calorie intake not ideal but better than before I started. Conclusion I will do better with exerising like I'm supposed to with my healthier eating habits.
Good for you for keeping track! Wishing you a successful week!!!

I stopped tracking food because it wasn't working for me emotionally but I'm doing a good job sticking to my Whole30 eating plan for this month (fell off the wagon one evening but that does happen). My husband is out of town this week and he helps keep me sane about food so I might try tracking again when he gets back! I'm actually quite happy that I only gained a bit of weight back (and I'm not worried about it) because I lost more than I intended the first week.0 -

It sounds like your body is balancing the shock of the big weight loss your first week. With your husband being gone this week, it is a good opportunity to focus on caring for yourself. Exercise, enjoy time with friends, eat clean and well. He will love coming home to a rejuvenated you!0 -

Weight lost/gained this week: gained 0.7 kg (1.6 lbs)

Struggles this week: Sometimes I cannot just have a cheat meal- it turns into 2-3 days of cheating
( going above my 1200 kcal allowance that is)
It is almost like my body is fighting the weight loss... 110 lbs is my goal weight so these are the challenges when you get so close to your goal. Really hopeful that by the end of the month I'll be bellow 115 lbs.
Good luck to us all!
