    Successes/struggles this week: My whole week was a big fat struggle! I know this weight is mostly water weight but this is ridiculous! I know I can do better than this! This is me getting on the good foot. No more snacking from the table behind me at work and exercising at least 4 days a week.

    Weight -/+ this week: +0
    Weight -/+ this month: +.6

    Successes/struggles this week: I've definitely hit a plateau. I think it's in part just a natural plateau and in part that I've not been as strict. My plan is to try to regain some strictness in my eating and if that doesn't work I'll look into changing up my exercise.

    Weight -/+ this week: -.8
    Weight -/+ this month: 1.7

    Success/struggles this week: I guess my success is I lost something! Also have been walking lots and lots which I think has actually helped me lose something. My eating had been good, but I still get cravings in the evening which I have to control.
    Cut down on snacking next week is my goal. I would love to hit the 180s at the end of April.

    Successes/struggles this week: I hope to get back on track as I backslide in March, mainly due to schedule but I also let my eating get a little out of hand.

    Need to improve my late evening/night snacking habits. Other than that I'm not doing to bad all things considered.

    UP a few....not so bad but that's what I get for not being consistent and logging in my day. I know I went over my calories count and worst of all with not the best of choices. I will keep trotting along and hope to do better this week.

    Have a good week all.....

    Weight -/+ this month: -5.0

    Successes/struggles this week: Success-My diet and exercise were better this week. Struggle- My overall weight loss for April is slower when compared to previous months, but that is to be expected at this point in a diet. It is very unlikely that I’ll hit my original goal for this month, but maybe I can at least lose 10lbs during this challenge..

    Successes/struggles this week: Crap!!! The scale just keeps going up. Luckily not by much but it is still frustrating. I've been working out at least 3 times a week and working on my eating. Really struggling with food as it is all so good!! Hopefully I'll have some downward movement next week.

Here's to next week!

    Successes/struggles this week: My successes this week were staying within my calorie goals and preparing more home cook meals. Another success was I increased my water intake to 10 cups. My skin and hair are extremely dry still so I will eventually get to 12 cups of water a day. My struggles were I was unable to reach my exercise goals most of the week. My progress with sleep goals was pretty much nonexistent. I still think getting more rest and hydrating myself a little more will increase my weight loss so that I can reach my 2lb week goal. I am a little more frustrated with my progress this week but at least I can shoot for increasing my exercises. I can also work on alleviating some of that stress in my life right now.

    Successes/struggles this week: My Fitbit Charge HR is definitely getting me moving more. I need to dial it in with the my diet and I know I'll be losing. My sister just got within 5 lbs of her 18 year old weight and I'm jealous! Hopefully a little lighthearted competition with her will be just what I need to get my butt in gear!
