    Been doing Whole30 for a couple weeks. Took some time off the gym due to low energy during early part of the diet, but I'm looking forward to jumping back in this week!

    NSV: As of this week, I've lost over 10% of my starting weight (225)!

    I've used MFP in the past and had a lot of great success with the help and motivation of all on here! So hoping to make some friends and shoot for a great goal!

    CW 232.5

    Weekends are absolutely ruinous to my food and exercise choices! I get home and say whew from a long stressful week, and I end up knoshing on one thing or another..... the only thing I can say that I did good was posting something in my diary.... So game plan for this week is get back to healthful eating, 10K steps each day, and drinking lots of water! And going to the movies on Friday night to keep my mind occupied and not thinking about food!

    I feel horrible! I went off track and now Im not even sure I can make it to 166 by New Years. Right now I'm at 182lbs. I felt so committed to doing this. Don't you hate it when you self-sabotage.

    12 weeks to go. So I'll have to loose 1.6 pound a week to reach the goal. Aweome way to start the year.

    Let's do this!!

    I know just how you feel have had a terrible couple of days diet wise, have picked up a knee injury so had been feeling a bit sorry for myself!! Just what you need when you can't exercise much, more calories!!

    try to find sitting exercises i do not know any but they are on the internet

    Thats a great idea I mostly worked on stretching and very gentle walking to try and loosen it up, thankfully its on the mend and I managed to go back to zumba although I couldn't fully keep up!!

    242-I'm aiming for at 228 since I started this challenge at 248. Slowly, but surely it's coming off. I need to loose at least two lbs a week to make my goal. Anyone have good advise?
    Eat clean!!!!

    Awesome! Slowly losing is safer and more likely to keep the weight off. Good for you!

    Stayed the same this week which is a relief as I have been dreadful!! 7lbs lost so far 13 to go.... hopefully now that the PMT has gone I will be a little more focused and the cravings for chocolate won't be so bad!!!
