    Weight lost/gained this month: -6.6

    Successes/struggles this week: This was my first week back on my diet after a 3 month hiatus and I'm happy with how I did. I logged all my food, prepped my meals ahead of time, and stayed just under my calorie allotment. I'm sure much of this big loss is water weight, so I expect the scale to slow down now. I'm hoping I can add more walking to my day.

Made sure I logged today. Starting to work out twice a day today.

    Successes/struggles this week: Started using a Misfit Flash. Has helped me to log my daily steps and motivates me to log at least 7000. However, the after x-mas sales on candy has led to me purchasing some sweets that I normally try not to keep in my house.

    Successes/struggles this week: Had a good first week - managed to lose 3lb which was a surprise. I seem to lose it quicker during the week. Didn't manage to get my runs in this week - the joys of adulting (teething baby, with Chickenpox) meant what little time I had, wasn't suitable for running.

    I did a lot better this week with eating and also started a new workout program that I stuck to. Down 1.4 lbs isn't too bad! I'm happy with it. Especially since I started lifting weights and normally you gain before you lose due to building muscle. Excited to see how this week goes! :smile:

    Successes/struggles this week: Ugh the scale didn't move this week (and lets be honest it was jumping around in the 142's but after like the 5th time i got on the scale it said 141.8-- so im going to say I stayed the same lol. Does anyone else do that where they weigh themselves like 12 times before they take the "real" reading for the day?? Maybe im crazy haha).

    Tough weekend with my husbands 30ths birthday party. Back on track today... I am in a destination wedding in under 5 weeks in Jamaica and i WILL be in the 130's by then. Have a good week everyone!

    Weight lost/gained this week: -8 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -8 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week:
    Successes: Well, I reached my goal for the month, and am (presumably, having moved my scale, and given dressed versus nekkid weight-ins) back into 'Overweight' range...

    As mentioned before, I am just back from travel/Christmas/cruise, so this is mostly water and 'recent' weight, thus not a particularly large victory! Still, I could have given up, I suppose, so I will take it - and celebrate it appropriately - and move on.

    My next goal is to get back to where I was, at my plateau: 192.8. With about 2 pounds of clothes, that would be 194.8 -- another kilo, or 2.2 pounds.

    Struggles: I have got a wicked cold, and it has been very cold outside! I am usually eager to get out and walk at 40 degrees Fahrenheit and up (and am willing at 20-and-up, if it's not too icy or windy), but a hacking cough and freezing temperatures do not mix and I am feeling too crappy, anyway...

    Still, the sun is shining today (and it looks like it will be warmer) -- and the dog may guilt me into it, yet.

    Hope you all are having a healthy happy start to the new year!
