    Welcome!

    All you need to do is Copy the first post into a new 'Reply', cut out the extraneous nonsense, add your own info, and post.

    You'll do the same thing each week, after you weigh in.

    (I recommend that you copy your post onto a blank document on your computer, so that you don't have to hunt to find it for your next reply.)

    Good luck!

    Successes/struggles this week: I really don't know. Workouts were completed consistently, logging in diary and staying within calorie intake was good. The one thing I would say is sweets. Even though I did not go over my calorie intake (like in the past) I made choices for sweets instead of a healthier choice. I'll try harder this week.

    Weight lost/gained this week: -1.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: -1.2

    Successes/struggles this week: Cookout on Saturday worried me because all the food was casseroles with lots of butter and cheese, and there were BBQ ribs. I let myself eat what I wanted to, but they were small portions: just 2-3 bites worth. I struggled Sunday because I was in the "cheating" mindset, and I allowed others to influence my food choices on Monday. I was barely over (36 calories), but I knew I made the wrong choice at lunch. However, I feel like I redeemed myself on Tuesday. I walked 4.5 miles in just over an hour, and I felt amazing afterwards.

    Found 3 women for activity accountability. Tweaking diet achieving more balanced macros.

    Pounds are impossible to budge with my desk job. Have added a second HIIT and more walking; and temporarily stopped Crossfit so that I could shed the pounds.

    Successes/struggles this week: I've more or less recovered from falling down the stairs a few weeks back, enough to exercise anyway, but managed to get a really nasty sunburn across my back and shoulders instead which is again limiting how much exercise I can do. Coupled with comfort eating, it hasn't been a very successful week.
    I've been walking a lot, though, while my daughter is on school break. We often walk for several miles over the day. It's just the picnics and ice cream that is ruining the good work. ;)

    Down 3.6 pounds!! I struggled with going out a few times during the last few weeks, and saying no to certain foods. But I see the scale still moved, and I kept up with my 4.5 mile walks! Woot!!!
    Sorry for the late post, it's been s busy few weeks. Keep going everyone!!!

    Successes/struggles this week: Upped my calories this week by 150 as I felt I wasn't eating enough as doing two or three spin classes and a body pump class. Bringing more carbs back in due to the increased exercise so diet bit more varied :smile:
    Going to keep to same calories this week then maybe up them a little next week.
