Struggles or successes of your week:
Pretty good week, my wife and I ran an entire 5K in St. Charles, MO on Sunday and finished in 36:13 minutes (11:40 min/mile). Was pleasantly surprised that we finished with an average pace ~1 minute faster than our normal pace for 1 mile; after some reading this is fairly common due to the additional motivation in a large group run.

Really only lost ~2½ lbs this week, my last weigh in was ~1½ lbs less than I expected; I expected it to hit this week.

Month to Date Exercise (Monthly Goal):
Cycling - 0.0 miles (75 Miles)
Jogging/Running - 6.3 miles (30 Miles)
Hiking - 0.0 Miles & 0' elev. climb (15 Miles)
Total - 6.3 miles (120 Miles)

Successes/Struggles: I'm under 300lbs!!! I thought it might happen this weigh-in and I had trouble sleeping last night (yes, that's why I'm posting this at 5:00 am). But since I'm up I'm going to go to the gym. It was a good week, though I'm still struggling with the negative voices in my head.

Way to go! So happy for you! This inspires me to work harder.

Successes/Struggles: My success for this week was helping my cousin join the gym with me. He's approximately 400 lbs and I know it took a lot for him to be there with me. I understood the insecurities and physical pain he felt being there. My struggle for the week was probably actually regarding the same thing. I felt as though I had to put the intensity of my workouts on the back burner so that I could hold his hand during the initial stages. Probably because I know I would have felt better if someone was there comforting me during the beginning as well. This made my soul feel good but at the same time I felt as if I was putting myself and my goals on the back burner.

I know as I lose weight, I wish I could help those around me that also want to lose weight; unfortunately, most aren't willing to put in the "work" to track food and put in a little exercise. I'm sure that you were every bit as motivating and inspirational to him as you are to us.

Aww thank you thats such a nice thing to say. Yeah so many people ask for help and I know you just can't help those who aren't willing to do the hard yards themselves. Maybe once I'm at a maintenance level I'll be able to put in time and commitment to actually help others.

Successes/Struggles; Successes for this week have been my fertility appointment finally progressing from me making it under the required BMI. The doctor was amazed and said she had never seen anyone so committed and determined. She just kept saying wow lol. That actually surprised me because I thought all women who struggled to have children would be giving it their all. Anyways my struggle of the week would be my emotions!!! I have been up and down all week. Stressed to buggery because I have been super busy. I needed to relax and regather
