    I'm noticing a lot of positive weight lose updates ...but what is everybody eating..are you exercising too. Need more input because I'm struggling on the weekends. I do good during the week, but crash on Saturday and Sunday. And not to mention I really need to start moving more.

    I joined the January Walking Challenge on here and walk daily on my treadmill now. I've done somewhere between 2-4 miles every day so far this month. So far that's the only exercise I do, but I'm going to look into adding strength training a few days a week. I'm a SAHM, and most days I do get in over 10k steps on my FitBit.

    As far as diet, I'm staying under my calorie limit, not eating back all of the workout (walking) calories because it's probably overestimated anyway, and limiting carbs.

    For struggling on the weekends, I would suggest making a plan and sticking to it. I have found that planning out my meals is really helping not only when I go grocery shopping but also when I'm getting ready to fix something. I know ahead of time. Mind you, I've only been doing these things for the past 2.5 weeks, but I'm happy with the progress so far, and hoping this motivation sticks around for a long while!

    I have a sit down office job.
    I find it easier to eat properly at the weekdays then weekends too.
    I have not stopped eating my favorite things, all I have done is cut down on portion sizes and add vegetables.
    I always eat when I am hungry but not sugary or fried snacks. I also make sure to drink more water and also have no sugar in my tea. I normally would have two sugars but after a couple of no sugar tea you do not need sugar any more.
    The only exercise that I do is the 30 mins shred. I do it every other day. One day a week I walk my mums dog with her. I also clean my house top to bottom once a week which I include in my work out.

    Planning what to eat and when, even on the weekends, helps keep me on track.

    I have also made exercising, at least 30 minutes a day, a priority.
    Sunday morning I got up at 5:45 and went to the gym to work out. Got home before my kids woke up.

    GW: 193.6 lbs

    2# loss this week despite being sick and sitting around. feels good to be going down and not up. goal this week is to continue getting over this cold/cough and watch what goes in! Will try to increase steps but moderate to fast walking and exercise gets the cough going.
    Keep up the good work everyone, don't lose faith that you can do this.

    Happy Tuesday everybody! I just started a new workout class yesterday and I'm loving it so far. Anybody else love the feeling of sore muscles? It makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere on this long journey. I haven't weighed in yet. First I'm working on building the habit of logging all my food. I'm thinking I'll do my first weigh-in next Monday to see if I've made any progress yet.

    Ok, I have just started (again) TODAY and this one caught my eye. I do well with short term goals like this. I am hoping to lose 10 lbs. by Easter and then another 10 by May. Have an event in May that I need to look snap for so working towards that! Ideally, need to lost 45 +/-. Hope to be close to that by summer's end. Will take it one day at a time, one loss at a time....great thread, thanks for starting!

    My job requires that I sit for over 11 hrs. a day!! But I've started walking 15 min. on my evening break, and will start walking another 15 min. on morning break, hopefully to add another 15 min. at lunch time on the 3rd week. I bought a treadmill and plan on walking 30 min. in the evenings starting on the 4th week. I've cut out soda 100%, slacked down on snacks (to slowly eliminate 100%). Have worked on a calorie goal to stay within my range and looking for to feeling healthy :)

    I have nothing to loose from here on except for the weight!!
