    Slightly disappointed at 2lb but after re-evaluating things I realised for being quite inactive this week through feeling unwell - this is actually really good and I shouldn't be so hard on myself!! lol

    What I'm doing to get to my goals is eating whole wheat grains, veggies, fruits, and lean proteins. I am trying to average at about 1200 cal per day. I do cardio 6 days out of the week 30-60 min and weight training 4-5 days out of the week.

    You are very welcome! It's a constant struggle for me to keep motivated and moving. I beat myself up all the time. We all need encouragement. It helps keep me going.

    Again, no change in weight. But, my clothes are fitting a tiny bit better. A few years ago, I went to the gym religiously 5-6 days a week, walked 7 days a week and really watched what I ate, losing only 4 lbs in 2 years. Having said that, I did go down 6 Jean sizes at that time. So, I will keep going and try not to give up. Frustration

    Starting late, but I'm definitely in! I've been working hard to build consistency in my workout routine and tracking, but now I just need to push things and keep from stalling.

    New here but would love to join this challenge. I would like to lose 40 lbs by Christmas, so that works out to about 5lbs a month! Started today tracking my food and exercise.

    Walked for an hour on the treadmill this morning watching Game of Thrones new episode. The kids were all at school so I indulged myself with a little t.v. time but at least I was walking during the entire episode. :)
