Successes/struggles this week: Can't say I'm surprised! I've been out of town on vacation 6 out of the last 7 days. I didn't do TOO terribly with my eating, and we walked 5-9 miles daily, but there was a TON of salty foods involved. Looking forward to getting back into the groove today. Frankly, I'm totally sick of eating out and restaurant food. I want healthy, homemade, nutritious food. (What a change from before I started MFP!)0 -

Weight lost/gained this week: - 3.5 lbs (1.6kgs)
Weight lost/gained this month: - 9.5 lbs (4.3 kgs)
Successes/struggles this week:
Week 1: Good start to this month. On travel next week so healthy low calorie meals will be a challenge. I anticipate a weight gain but will try to keep the gain minimal.
Week 2: Back from travel today. Surprisingly, weight was static so I am pleased with that. Back to routine tomorrow so hope to see some losses next week and get into the 180's.
Week 3: Success getting into the 180's. Still walking everyday. Exercise and eating at a calorie deficit is working well for me. Finally had to buy a new pair of jeans. My old ones were a 42" waist and new ones are a 36" "slim" and fit nicely. I was really surprised by that NSV.

29th October:
1st November:
Weight lost/gained this week: -0.5
Weight lost/gained this month: -2.5
Successes/struggles this week: I can't seem to get enough exercise. I have all the time in the world to do it, but zero motivation. Despite that, I'm happy with this small loss. I was 188.4-188.7 all week, so this is nice. My main issue has been not eating filling foods. I don't eat the right food, so I feel hungry and end up going over calories. It's usually less than 100 calories, but it's 100 calories of junk. Definitely need to tighten things up this week.0 -

I tried getting up early this morning (5:30am) yeah that didn't work completely. I woke up earlier then I have been but not early enough to squeeze in a workout before work. Tomorrow is another day!0 -

Successes/struggles this week: Went to Six Flags over the weekend and walked over 5 miles while I was there. Used to be my feet would kill me and I would have to sit and rest but this time, I just walked and walked and enjoyed the not hurting. Sunday I was exhausted, but I think that was from getting home after 1 am and then getting up early for church. And I think that's a success also, getting up and going to church, even though I was exhausted. Two months ago I would have skipped church. Loving the little strides I am making to getting healthier.0 -

Weight lost/gained this month:
Successes/struggles this week: I have been weight lifting 3x a week and have seen my physique change but not the scale. I was not motivated by it until I saw Eva say that she had the same issue. That sure did encourage me. Thank you, Eva! I am glad I am sticking to exercising 6x a week.
My struggles are that I eat more calories because it adds exercise calories in and I don't think the scale will move if I continue to burn the same as I put in. I need to eat less.0 -

Marissa, I've had the same troubles this week - cold and tired does not equal motivation to go to the gym. We'll both do better next week!0 -

Successes/struggles this week: some is better than none I guess. Got new batteries for my scale so I know this week is accurate lol. School is becoming tiresome. Dreams are still crazy, and work wants me to come in even earlier... FUN STUFF! But all in all, I'm content, I feel good in life so I really can't complain other than my tiredness. I'm trying to say away from processed foods, sticking with organic - and I didn't eat candy this week! Besides the Gin-Gins but I'm not sure those classify as "candy"...? Exercise still I have not gotten into a routine, luckily its starting to cool down so I can sleep in then go for a walk on the weekends.0 -
