    Successes/struggles this week: I have been yo-yoing for two months now, but I feel like I finally got a hold of my eating this week, mostly. Today is my birthday though, so no logging for me today! I'll probably eat very little tomorrow to make up for the huge number of calories I will take in with food and alcohol.

    1st November:

    Weight lost/gained this week: 1.5 lost
    Weight lost/gained this month: 3 lost

    Successes/struggles: Lifting weights, gaining a lot of muscle so I am not dropping the weight as much as in the first months when I started my journey. However, it is a down trend, so I'm okay with it. Rather lose slowly but consistently even if it takes a little longer. Oh, and my waist is 7.5" less than 6 months ago!

    Start Weight (1st October): 196.5 lbs (89.1kgs)
    Goal Weight (1st November): 190lbs (86.2 kgs)
    Ultimate Goal: 160-170 (72.5 - 77.1kgs)

    22nd October: 187 lbs (84.8 kgs)
    29th October: 184 lbs (83.4 kgs)
    1st November:

    Weight lost/gained this week: - 3 lbs (1.3)
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 12.5 lbs (5.67 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.
    Week 4: Very happy with losses this month. Anticipate a slow down next week due to social events and travel.

    Successes/struggles this week: went for a run on Saturday in prep for a 5k that I have coming up - and then injured myself that night. So I'm sitting here now with it all bandaged up and feeling sorry for myself. I am really happy that i ended up in the 77's. 2.4 kg total isn't anything to sneeze at, and hopefully gives me a realistic goal to go for for November's challenge!
