    Weight lost/gained this week: -1.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.7

    Successes/struggles this week: This last week has been interesting. The scale has been showing 0.5 to 1 lb loss every morning, and I was beginning to worry. I changed the batteries, but it still showed me the same as with the old ones. I have been under calories and my activity level was up a great deal, but I didn't think the two were enough to have me dropping almost 3lbs in a week. I'm only up to 175 today because I had a heavy meal and quite a bit of sodium yesterday. I figure what happened is that I've basically started over. Since the holidays, my calories have been pretty close to maintenance. Now that they're where they should be and lower, I'm experiencing the whoosh. It feels nice seeing the scale move that much.

    Oh, and hey, I met my goal. I won't get too optimistic, just drop it one more pound.

    Weight -/+ this week: +.5
    Weight -/+ this month: +.5

    Successes/struggles week 1: Struggles - I ate above my calorie allotment, didn't work out as much as I usually do, didn't drink enough water and my sleep wasn't very restful. I suppose the success this week was that my weight stayed even instead of going up.
    Successes/struggles week 2: Struggles: I am not feeling motivated. I am eating even when I am not hungry. Successes: I have given up!

    Successes/struggles: Coming off of 10lb lost months it's hard to go back to creeping, but progress is progress and this weight is slowly but surely coming off. I'm not in a rush so I'm ok with that. Struggles this week have been bronchitis and TOM. hoping I see a bigger loss when mother nature leaves me. 2 weeks to go so a potential for 4 more lbs. Keep your head up we can do this!!

    Successes/struggles this week: Had my big monthly "whoosh" this week, so will not be surprised if it goes slightly up next week. Have been staying strictly in my allotted 1640 calories, and have exercised (mildly - due to plantar fasciitis) almost daily. This is the first time I've been 75 Kg in 10 years, so it was a goal I have been striving towards since I started in Jan...

    Successes/struggles this week: Barely any change this week even though I've been good. I've upped my calories and increased my exercise (eating the same deficit, just walking more) so I suspect that water weight may be playing a role! Either that or I'm just in the phase where I hover up and down over the same lb before a whoosh. Good ol' non linear weight loss, lol. I know I'm doing the right thing so I'm just going to trust the process.

    Still following the thyroid fast with little additions here and there. Eating healthy, no caffeine (killing me), still no alcohol (not really killing me.. but will have a glass of vino this weekend!) Not really missing much food because I love the foods I am eating.... I DO miss corn chips.. ugh... Exercise is still a vital part and getting some GREAT walks in. Weather is improving, and so will my exercise!

    Hmmm, maybe if I work really hard I can reach my goal. I'm happy that I am making progress anyway. It's been a rough couple of weeks.
    I'm hoping next week will be back to normal.
    Also, my husband is setting up our extra room as a small work out room for me. I can't wait to use it.

    Weight -/+ this week:-0.8lb
    Weight -/+ this month: -2lb

    Successes/struggles this week: Im starting to realize asking to lose 10lbs a month is too much for me. I should stick to probably 5/7lbs. Anyways, I changed my goal to either 305 or 300. Less pressure, more likely to succeeded.
