    Successes/struggles this week: I hit goal! Granted it wasn't a very hefty goal, but I wanted to get away from the rut I had been in since around Thanksgiving. I wasn't gaining, but I was definitely tired of maintaining.

    I've been to the gym 6 days this week, and except for the first day, I feel amazing!

    Keep up the great work guys!

    1st February:
    Weight lost/gained this week: 1

    Successes/struggles this week: Eating at home more often helps with the cal intake and sodium. I've stuck with the exercise. The scale doesn't move too quickly so I'm trying to focus on other measurements: Blood pressure is down so I'll take that as a win. Ho hum....slow is better than nothing but it can be so discouraging. I find it nearly impossible to stick with 1500 mg of sodium. Seems unrealistic.

    Weight lost/gained this month: 5.4

    Successes/struggles this week: up nearly half a pound! Curses!! I cycle a lot and I've been so so so so hungry this week. One time I ate three slices of pizza and was *still* hungry.
    So struggle this week was trying to fill the bottomless pit without going overboard. Haven't quite figured the answer out on that one. Maybe tons more of the healthy stuff and less on the chocolate? That'd be a good start maybe. :D

    Successes/struggles this week: I don't think I've had any successes this week. Gained weight based on my TOTM. Feeling frustrated, and hate that I cannot get enough water down, and just sit around feeling sorry for myself, thus not exercising. I hope this week will be better all around.

    Successes/struggles this week: I made a lot more food than I usually do, which helped eating AND spending, can you believe it?
    But school stress put me right back on the munchies and my girlfriend really likes eating out / eating crap, because it's easy and she's rather thin and unconcerned with weight. I think she and I shall have a serious chat to see if we can get on the same page here.
