    Successes/struggles my struggles have been finding the right combination of things to eat so that my hunger doesn't take control. I did better and got a better combination going. The thing that I was successful at was sticking to it and exercising. My number wasn't what I was hoping for but I know the number isn't the only thing to be measured. I did some great muscle building exercises at the gym this week and you have to add some good weight to burn off the bad weight so overall I feel pretty good. :)

    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: I've had intermittent hip pain. I don't think it is related to my workouts, but I am a little afraid it may pause my exercise at some point this month. I'm staying under my calories, but I still nibble on my daughter's snacks often. I am watching a little one two days a week, which leaves very little time to exercise on those two days.

    Successes/struggles this week: hard to cook for everyone else in the house and not eat what they want. The teens especially have no interest in eating the way I am trying to. Coffee!!! I cannot drink it black and the fat free creamer is not cutting it. Today is day one of my exercise attempts! Will start with an easy walking dvd for 2 miles. Wish me luck!

    8th January: 343.5

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

    Success/struggles this week: i dont know what is up with this week, my lowest weight this week was 341, but twice this week my weight shot back up to 345 and rakes me a few days to get back down. I drink lots of water and calorie zig zag. I usuallt eat between 1400-1900 cals. Obviously I can't gain 3 lbs in one day, so it has to be water weight. I guess I'll have to keep a closer eye on my sodium intake.

    Struggles this week: I'm not very happy with my progress this week, for how well I ate, I should have lost more weight. Although I am taking account that I am sick right now and there are some other factors as well that should be cleared up for the next weight in! Also I should be watching my sodium a bit more.. I wasn't logging the 0 calories soya sauce that I have so this may alas be a part of it!

    Successes/struggles this week: Much of this loss was water weight following the holidays, but an exciting jumpstart to 2016. Had a couple of tummy issues that kept me from the gym more than I wanted this week, but thrilled that the holiday break didn't keep me from jumping right back in. Looking forward to what's ahead!

    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.8

    Successes/struggles this week: I think I am finally getting my eating back on track. I did go over a couple of days, but I was also under some. I guess it balanced out. I haven't incorporated exercise yet, and I probably won't for a while. I'm not sure I have the motivation for it right now. I'll continue to watch my food and cook more at home. That makes a HUGE difference for me.

    Now, I just have to make sure I don't splurge today (or for the next 3 weeks). After a successful weigh in, I tend to sabotage myself. I really need to stop that.
