    Successes/struggles this week:

    I was feeling more hungry than usual this week. I found some exquisite honey crisp apples and added 1 to 2 a day, along with a little more protein. That increased my daily calorie intake by 350ish calories, and I was sure there would be no weightloss this week. I was wrong. I guess listening to your body is a smart thing. Now I am looking at gym memberships as it is time to add strength training to the mix. Good luck everyone!

    Successes/struggles this week: The combination of a bad busy week at work, plus my emotional eating got the best of me. I had coffee every day, at work they brought in cookies, donuts, and coffee.
    I could not control myself and tired all the cookies. I felt sick afterwards when I got home.

    This week I also ate A&W for breakfast, Friday was especially bad! I had a mcdonald's egg muffin combo with medium dd coffee. Lunch was McDonald's chicken mcnuggets, afternoon Costco hotdog, half a pop, and half an order of fries.

    Plan for this week:
    Go to gym or cycle Sunday,Monday,Wednesday,Thursday,Saturday.
    Work on getting more sleep each night, increase water intake.
    Watch calorie intake

    I ran this week - I actually really truly ran. Not far, and not for long - but I ran. (Pretty sure the dog was looking for bears behind me.)

    Weight lost/gained this week: I've gained 2 pounds between October 1st and October 8th.
    Weight lost/gained this month: So far, the 2 pounds

    Successes/struggles this week: I'll weigh in on the 15th, but the struggle has been slowing down and feeling more comfortable with all the changes I've been through. The past few weeks, I've been getting used to my new first-time bought home, and settling in. I've been on-the-go for the past couple months with the new home and passing the CCNA certification that my exercise have been put on the backburner. I'm re-dedicating my time off to going on longer runs.

    Second week with no loss. Not upset really because I know I stuck to my eating and exercise plan. But if the scale doesn't budge next week then I'll be a little frustrated.

    Successful completed my 1000 minute exercise in 1month. And the total was 1,099mins. So I'm chuffed with that. I didn't think it was gonna be possible.

    Hi all,

    A bit late to the party, but better late than never, I guess! I could definitely do with a challenge to get me back on track. I had been doing really well...and then I went on holiday and used that as an excuse to binge eat everything in sight and if I'm honest, I haven't stopped since coming back!

    This should be my struggle also! My fiancé has the biggest sweet tooth in the world! He always offers and then I have to be strong and say No. We can do it together!
