    I don't think I will make the goal but would like to continue the challenge if you are planning to offer after first week of February. It has helped me keep motivated through out the week. Thank you

    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!

    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.

    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.

    1st February:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.9 kg (6.4 lbs)
    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!

    Successes/struggles this week: good logging this week, with salad most days for lunch. Scales actually said I'd lost another half a pound, so I'm pleased with that. Still need to get my exercise sorted out though!
    Hope you have a good week.

    Successes/struggles this week:It's my week off, so that means I have been working out regularly, but I also got a new scale and it's that time of the month (so gaining is inevitable for me). Let's hope it'll look better by the end of the month :smile:

    Successes/Struggles: it's been a weird yoyo week with my weight. I've stayed on track with calories and tracking, the scale just hasn't been cooperating. Was hoping for more of a loss this week, but it's still a loss so I'll take it! I've got to really kick it in gear next week to hit my 10 pound goal for the month.

I went to the gym at least and swimming so that was good. And I stuck to my morning exercises (10 min against back pain). Only a few days to go till goal weight. Let's see if I can make it!
