    Weight -/+ this week: +0.6
    Weight -/+ this month: +0.7

    Successes/struggles this week: I want to believe the gain was due to TOM, but maybe my weigh-ins were flukes and 175 is really where I am right now. I'm not terribly upset about that, tbh. The weight will come off soon enough.

    Name: Fidan
    Age: 29
    Height: 171cm

    Start Weight (April 4): 75.1kg
    Goal Weight (May 2 ): 73.1kg - 4th May marks my 1st fitversary. And this number was my goal as it puts me into a healthy BMI.

    Weigh-ins (Mondays):
    April 4: 75.1kg
    April 11: 74.3kg
    April 18: 74kg
    April 25:
    May 2:

    Weight -/+ this week: 0.3kg
    Weight -/+ this month:1.1kg

    This weightloss feels like a fluke- wasn't expected at all so I'll be extra careful this week to make up for any surprises.

    Successes this week:
    - I was eating in range of my goal and wasn't too worried about going slightly over. Previously, going over meant failure to me. (up untill Sunday)
    - I was naturally more active, sitting down was a luxury that I earned.

    Struggles this week:
    - had 1 really tough day where I wanted to eat everything in and out of sight. I still want to use food for comfort.
    - Did not do any formal exercise.
    - I was at a wedding and realised that my down fall is MEZEs. I enjoy it far too much and the temptation of it constantly being infront of me and regularly being topped up mixed with boredom is definitely not a positive situation to be in for my weightloss.

    Successes/struggles this week: I've felt really tired this last week but my cold has finally gotten 97% better. The weather was quite a bit hotter and I felt less motivated to go outside and walk during my work breaks (there's only a certain amount of sweat I can tolerate in work clothes lol). I also had some indulgences at work lunches that I probably shouldn't have. Those hot and fresh Vietnamese eggrolls were calling my name though! :joy:

    Successes/struggles this week: Oh my where has the month gone! I've missed a week here and am confident about getting back on track. Although I gained three lbs since the last weigh-in I am not worried about getting back on track. Had a great weekend of hiking and activity. This week should be fairly easy to stay on track and keep my body moving.

    Still need to control my food intake better and drink more water.

    Just make sure your logging everything you eat, if you don't have a scale get one and weigh your food. Drink plenty of water. Don't give up, be patient. I'm bout 15 lbs from goal and weight loss has slowed alot but I have wooshes once a month were I will drop 3+lbs over night. Good luck!!!

    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..

Here's to next week!

    Successes/struggles this week: I had a great week. Worked out a lot this week and finally fit into some old jeans so I know I've lost inches. Sadly I was the same on the scale this week but I think this has more to do with working out and building muscle. Doesn't look like I'll hit my goal for the month though because I have 7 more pounds to lose this week lol!
