    Weight -/+ this week: -0.0
    Weight -/+ this month: -.9

    Successes/struggles this week: No change. I ate pretty OK, but struggled to be motivated to exercise, which I think is what's hurting me the most. I definitely have slowed down on what I was doing fitness-wise earlier this year, and it's caused a noticeable lag in my loss lately.

    Successes/struggles this week: Fluctuations suck. Up, down, up, down. Whatever - I'm still eating right and working out 5-6 times a week. This is a marathon, not a sprint... and all those other clichés. Just keep swimming... :love: Oh, and on the PLUS side... my boyfriend is commenting on how cut my arms & shoulders are getting. YAY!!

    And thanks B3achy for the support & advice. I definitely need to be measuring. :smile:

    Didn't officially weigh in last week because I had a rough one. Luckily I was able to get it together! I hit my goal and then some! Still hoping to move a little more by the end of the month.

    This was a weird week - total lack of exercise motivation, too much wine and twizzlers in my food diary, and zero change on the scale for four days (usually there is an increase or decrease, but I've never weighed the exact same four days in a row in the past three years of weighing myself daily). Just happy there was still a significant loss for the week.

    Total LBS lost this week: 1.0 lbs
    Total LBS lost this month: 3.0 lbs
    Total LBS lost overall: 13.8 lbs; 15.6 lbs to go for ultimate goal!

    Challenges: Total bust for exercise motivation this week...had zero desire to paddle and forced myself to at least do my gazelle. Eating was so-so, and I think I might be PMSing. Barring a miracle, not going to make my challenge goal weight (which I knew was a bit of a stretch) by end of the month.

    Successes: Still dropped weight and inches despite continued motivation challenges, and happy with around 3 pounds lost for the month given so many challenges these past few weeks.
