Successes/struggles this week: After a good 4-5 weeks of fighting off mono, I'm slowing getting back into the game and getting my workouts back into my daily routine (small amounts so I don't over do it). It's time to break new goals and keep going for the long haul. I am super excited to see what my weight loss journey has in store for me this year!0 -

Successes/struggles this week: 4.2???!!!! Where did that come from??!!
Oh. I know. I weighed myself on Saturday morning after exercising, peeing, and naked rather than on Sunday evening after not exercising , peeing, and while semi-clothed.
Well. That would explain it then.
This made me LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this!

Hi everyone! I'm glad I found this thread! I need accountability partners. I'll start and stop so often, I just want to stick with it for once. I want to eat cleaner and work out at least 5 times a week.

Successes/struggles this week: No losses but after last weeks whopper - that's perfectly ok . Had awful PMS sugar cravings and scoffed far too many Jelly Babies - did you know they name them now?-the different colours have names - like I really want to get to know them first before I bite their heads off! However, back on track now and no sweets this week (besides I ate them all) and just been more active so hoping for less bloat & more loss next week.0 -

Weight lost/gained this week: 0.5-0.8kg - all the weight I wasn't losing suddenly came off
Weight lost/gained this month: 0.6-0.8kg
Successes/struggles this week: Went low carb. Tried being moderate but nothing happened, and low carb has worked for me before (I think I have food/gut issues). Feel like I have heaps of energy, and the weight fell off, but got insomnia, so am adding in carbs at night for that. But, I haven't been on my bike at all. Still, I've been on my feet heaps running around with the kids on their holidays, so I think activity is taken care of for now.0 -

Weight lost/gained this month: - 8.2 kg (18.1 lbs)
Successes/struggles this week: I kept eating healthy, drinking a lot of water. I believe I have already developed a good eating habit. I am proud of myself for not having eaten even a single candy, even though there was someone bringing sweets to the office every single day. I was not able to resist a glass of cognac on several occasions, which did not seem to matter at all, as I had significant losses on the following morning. Maybe it stimulates fat burning? It was also one of the worst weeks in a long while and I have not had any time to go to the gym. But with over a week to go I have almost reached my goal!0 -
