Struggles/ victories for the week: Forgot to update last week. Struggles were my eating habits and sweet tooth which shows because I haven't lost anything.

Struggles/victories for the week: My second week visiting new grand baby. Still lots of sweets being brought in by visitors. But my long walks daily in hilly neighborhood are working! I'm breaking even. (That's better than a gain.) I've got my Thanksgiving limits planned and will hopefully show a loss at the end of the month.
PS This Thanksgiving I am thankful for this thread.

Loss/gain for the week: +100g
Loss/gain for the month so far: -2.9kg
struggles/ victories for the week: Very upset about this gain as I ate between 4933 and 5178kj (met my Macro percentages) daily this last week; plus exercised 5 out of 7 days (burning around 900kj each time). I should be loosing at least 1kg a week based on food and exercise. I am going to visit my doctor to try and sort out what is wrong.

Struggles/victories for the week: Thanksgiving was a success. I allowed myself to have a little scoop/piece of everything I wanted so I was still full and satisfied. Unfortunately I was sick all day yesterday, so wasted my entire day on the couch. I think my biggest struggle overall is getting the motivation to workout after work on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I don't get off until 6 PM and at that point I have to make supper, help my son with his homework, and then it's almost time for bed. Guess I need to try and get up earlier so I can workout in the morning. Hope everyone else is doing well and reaching their goals!

struggles/ victories for the week: My doctor increased my food intake to 5439kj or 1300cal a day to help my metabolism so I will hopefully start loosing again in the next week or 2. Exercise went well this week - increased both the amounts of rowing and walking distance and incline.

Did not lose as much as I was aiming for but 2.8kg over the month is still good

Struggles/ victories for the week: My biggest struggle is limiting my wine at night. I love it and it helps me relax. For next month, I plan to drink 1 glass, and replace my normal second glass of wine with sparkling water. What I've changed this month, is I'm heavy lifting 2x a week, and taking long hikes with my dog 2-3x a week. I feel so much better, and I can see a difference in my body. I'm not sure that I've really lost weight, because I bounce up and down 4 lbs, but I feel proud about getting stronger and fit.
