    Weight lost/gained this month: 1 lb lost

    Successes/struggles: It's still a mirage... I had been down at 137 several times and gained it back during the holiday season. Unfortunately, there are still some tempting chocolate bonbons around from Christmas. :) But I don't despair. Training is up and I will be back in full gear soon.

    Successes/struggles: had a pretty good week. Actually glad to be through the holidays and back to a normal schedule, normal eating, etc.

    I can already tell that my weight loss is getting back to what it was before the holidays.

    Doing good on my mini goals too!

    I've set some mini goals for myself for January:
    1) Go alcohol free for the month of January
    2) Achieve 30 pounds weight loss milestone (only 5 pounds away!!)
    3) Continue to log every day and stay within calorie goals

    Weight lost/gained this week: 4lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 4lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Been really good with the exercise - following a program called UltraFit but doing it at my pace, lower weights and not as intense as I want but it is what I can do ... and it's all planned out in 6, 12, and 18 week increments - one less thing I need to plan :smiley: Trying to get in daily walks of at least 1 mile in addition to the fitness program.
    Diet - not bad - I'm much more aware of what I am eating and I've cut back the mindless noshing especially at night-getting more water in and cutting back on the alcohol has also helped.
    53 days until March 1st and the weather here in New England should start to turn with warmer longer days (sunrise will be an hour earlier than it is now too)

    Successes/struggles this week: I've been making some really delicious food! And my cravings for sugar and bread have been eradicated through desire for protein and fat, or by making low carb versions of all those sugary treats I used to crave. As for struggles, I still haven't managed to get into regular exercise. But I will!

    1st February:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -1,3kg (3lbs)
    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: I set a target of 1500 calories per day, which requires prepacked lunches with real food. I snack a lot since our office is full of food the whole day due to birthdays, etc.
    I have been struggling not to go to the gym every day just because I feel stressed out. I had a rest day on Thursday and plan on resting on Saturday as well. I am to reduce my workouts from 2 strength (Body Pump, focus on heavy weights)+ 2 cardio (Body Combat, HIIT) + 1 balance/relaxation (Body Balance, Yoga or Pilates) to 3-4 in total per week, incl. relaxation. I would like to optimise my workouts as to minimise injury stress and balance out things. Workouts shouldn't leave me so worn out my technique starts suffering or I get injured due to sloppiness and have to take a forced break.
    I still struggle with carbs, though I am set on getting most of my nutrition from real unprocessed food.

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm doing the whole30 this month, and it's difficult to find acceptable food when you're outside of the house. I worry that I am not doing enough. The winter also makes it difficult to be physically active.

    Weight lost/gained this week: - 1.0
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 1.0

    * Successes/struggles this week: Success - I got on my treadmill 6 days this week! :) That is a record for me. My time on the treadmill ranged from 33 minutes to 3 hours (walking with incline and reading a book). I also got on the treadmill before going to work -- another 1st for me. I did sit-ups and crunches 3 days. :) /
    * Struggles - Fast food & fried food. Leftover holiday food! Office Treats!! :# It is hard to resist office treats like donuts and chocolate. I do not buy donuts, but it is hard to say 'no' when they are laying around the office.
    * I hope to lose these pounds faster so I will not get discouraged. This 'Challenge' is definitely motivating me! Thank you everyone!

    Wishing you a wonderful start to the brand new year! Good luck everyone!

    Successes/struggles this week: this week started off good and by end of week..more time and energy spent at work and not enough time to stick to my schedule and meals. Still did good but thinking that this next following week won't be as great. Just need to push a little more time and a little more bodyweight cardio to jumpstart.

    Hopefully with this wonderful community and support I can do more the next and the following weeks there after.

    Here's to a new us this year!!!

    I've been cutting up lots of carrots, cucumber, celery and sweet pepper, sticking it in the fridge, so that I have a suitable snack ready. Another good, albeit not exciting one is cottage cheese with apples and walnuts in. I suppose kind of like a Waldorf salad!

    Successes/struggles this week: I completely fell off the last 2-3 weeks of the year, in terms of logging what I ate. On top of that I started drinking soda again, barely drinking 32 oz of water a day...yikes! I did still manage to get to the gym probably 3 times a week, compared to my usual 6 times a week. I was dreading getting on the scale to see the damage. I was fully expecting to have gained some weight back, but I was surprised to see that I had gone down 2.5 lbs since my last weigh in! On the one hand I am completely ecstatic that I lost weight while not eating the best, but on the other hand it just reminds me that if I had been paying attention to what I was eating and doing better on the workout I could be down a lot more. I'm looking forward to getting closer to onederland!
