    Successes/struggles this week: Had a terrible day on Tuesday, so basically ate my feelings. But the rest of the week was great. Got plenty of cardio in, need to focus more on strength training. Starting to think 7lb weight loss goal was a bit ambitious for one month. Oh well, still happy to be losing weight!

    1st March:

    Weight lost/gained this week: 1
    Weight lost/gained this month: 1

    Successes/struggles 1st week: What?! I gained 4.5 lbs in 5 days?! I didn't even know that was possible. The scale is going the wrong way. I exercised every day. I didn't eat super great, but I didn't eat horribly either. I went over a few days, but not by much. Heavy sigh. Hopefully next week will have a better #.

    Successes/struggles 2nd week: Had emergency gall bladder surgery on the 10th. It sort of put a damper on exercise. Ha. I am slowly getting back into the swing of things this week.

    Successes/struggles 3rd week: Still recovering from surgery. It's not that bad actually, but I am following Dr's orders and taking it easy. I usually jump right back into things if I feel fine. Then it backfires and I realize why they say go slow even if you feel good. Ha. I will weigh myself this Friday. I think things will be close enough to normal that whatever the scale says will be legit. I was afraid it would show too much loss because of my tentative and careful eating after surgery which is not how I usually eat. I know I'm not going to reach my goal because of the huge jump the first four days (still think that's crazy), but hopefully I will not have gained any. I love this challenge and am looking forward to continuing it next month as well.

    Successes/struggles 4th week: Well, this month didn't go as planned, but I am happy to have lost 1 lb. Here's to a more successful March!

    Struggles-- Struggled a little with hunger and didn't make it to the gym as many days, but still did good.

    1st March:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -5 lbs.
    Weight lost/gained this month: -15 lbs.

    Successes/struggles this week: My success came today when I stepped on the scale and saw that I now weigh the same as my fiance. That was my first goal I wanted to reach.

    My struggle came this week in the form of starting a 30 day free trial at a new gym in town with my best friend. But between a full-time job, full-time college, and a 2 year old, she doesn't have much time to go after work so we've been getting there around 6:40 for the past three mornings. I don't remember the last time I regularly woke up at 6 a.m. Even when I worked about 40 minutes from home, I was still able to get up at 6:30 a.m. for work. Sweets have also still been a struggle for me to avoid :/ I always crave them at night around 8 p.m.

    Weight lost/gained this month: -0.7

    Successes/struggles this week: Again... I was all the way down to 142... then ONE bad day sets me back where I was! It's very frustrating. I need to get motivated and I need to stop snacking so much. March will be my month.

    Successes/struggles this week: My boyfriend came home from a six week long business trip and we celebrated with tons of food... and alcohol. The good news is I still managed to lose! Spent all my time with him so I didn't make it to the gym but between my 2 jobs ( first year teacher! ) I'm making my step count most days.

    1st March:

    Weight lost/gained this week: +1.4
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.8

    Successes/struggles this week: not the number I wanted to log. I was 156 on Wed. I know it's from starting strong lifts and my body reacting. Success: staying in my calorie goal, and eating good. Hitting the gym everyday. Struggle: had a few nights of drinking, stronglifts made the scale go up which depresses me so I'm going back to light lifts 3xs a week for now. Focus on one goal at a time.

    Weight lost/gained this week: 3
    Weight lost/gained this month: 5

    Successes/struggles this week: Thanks to some surprise scalemagic this morning, I broke 170. Nice to see the scale back in the 160. When I had my weight steady (at 160-163), 168 was the mini-diet threshold to get back down, so it's great to be in the ballpark again.

    Overall, I'm OK with how the month went. Compared to January/ before the holidays (where I gave myself a pass, as long as I worked out), I was definitely less careful about tracking/ less concerned about going over by a little bit so I'm happy to see I still averaged a pound a week.

    Successes/struggles this week: I certainly didn't reach my goal, but a loss is a loss. I'm still getting more activity in than I did last month and the beginning of this one. While I've been technically under my calorie goal, I'm sure the entries I'm using for restaurant foods aren't as accurate as they could be. Still feeling great, though, so if it ain't broke...

    Struggles: the last few days were not bad actually

    Success: I kept close or under my calories most of the time even though I didn't make it to the gym. I didn't feel great yesterday but managed to keep frustration eating to small quantities.

    I didn't reach my goal but I finally got back to being disciplined and losing.
