    Weight lost/gained this month: -4.2 lbs
    Successes/struggles this week:
    SUCCESS: showing a loss on the scale AND my "cookie courage" (have kept my visits to the cookie jar at a minimum). I'm a cookie momster--that's huge!
    STRUGGLE: making myself do those 10K steps. Cold virus made me feel blah for a while, too, but I'm nearly 100% over it.

    Successes/struggles this week: So much emotional/stress eating, I really need to find another way to deal with these things! Also a tendency to eat/drink whatever I like when I'm with my boyfriend, I definitely need to start making better choices there if I'm going to shift this!

    Successes/struggles this week: WTFO lol. I'm building strength in my busted shoulder and in my legs and core for ski season so hopefully that's muscle that'll dissolve fat next week. Either that or I'll have to tighten up my logging. What a pita.

    Successes this week: Continued with my program when things weren't always peaches and cream. I didn't eat away my problems. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm learning and changing. :)

    Struggles this week: I had one of my toughest weeks since starting (86 days ago). A lot of stress, self-doubt and no energy. I think that it was some kind of test, "Do I really want this." I DO! One day at a time!

    I can't believe September is almost over. Lets all go out strong! Have a great week! :)

    Weight lost/gained this month: 2.6 kg

    Successes/struggles this week: Reached my goal for this month! I was feeling really down this week because I reached a huge plateau. Not only that, but sometime around the beginning of the month, I lost a whole bunch suddenly, gained a kilo just as suddenly and then have been very slow about getting back to where I was. I have no idea what happened or why, but it was really disheartening. But I'm super happy to have reached my goal with about a week to go. I'll continue working hard through the rest of this month. I feel encouraged, again. :)

    Weight lost/gained this month:-.2

    Successes/struggles this week: I was on vacation last week without a scale so I couldn’t weigh in. This week I am back down to where I started the month. I am determined to end this month with a loss. I had one big success for me while on vacation last week. I went to the beach with a group of ladies and on the way some of them stopped at a Krispy Kreme and bought 3 dozen donuts. I ONLY ATE ONE the whole time. In the past I would have eaten several so that is a big success for me.

    Successes/struggles this week: Have had a good loss this week but I think it's mainly water weight.
    Finding myself obsessing a little too much about being within calorie goal every day. Working too hard, which is good because it keeps me busy and not thinking about food, but there have been times when I probably should have eaten more during the day, and days when I went over.

    Successes/struggles this week: Began the month with allergy-like symptoms that turned into a full blown cold which ended up as strep throat. I haven't been logging, but I know I've not been anywhere near my calorie goals. Despite not wanting to eat, my boyfriend has been making sure I do, even if it is just a can of soup and some jello.

    I know my appetite is going to come back soon, but I hope I don't go overboard when I finally do want to eat.

    I've been under 110 lbs for 2 months and considered maintaining my weight under 110 lbs. It seems very hard maintaining and my weight slowly went over 112 lbs. With lower weight goal seems easier to achieve than maintaining.

    Successes/struggles this week:
    Gained 0.2lbs this week, which is basically a wash. I've been working long hours recently, and my work has been getting food catered, which is fantastic, but it's unhealthy, hard to log and easy to overeat. I'm only a week from the end of September and still 2.8lbs from my goal. It'll be tough to make it.

    There will definitely be a new thread for October. (I usually post on the 28th or 29th.)
