    Successes/struggles this week: Successes this past week was meeting all my fitbit goals. I LOVE seeing them all turn green. I feel like that motivation has helped me greatly.
    I'm going out of town this weekend for my wedding dress fitting. (and then to ride snowmobile!)
    I always struggle when we travel. But the hotel we stay at has a fitness center so I'll for sure be hitting my exercise goals. My main focus will be on making smart food choices and getting enough water.

    Successes/struggles this week: Dealing with some digestive issues and havent used the bathroom for #2 in a week. Sorry to be gross. Assuming the gain is from that. Now on a medical liquid diet pending my appointment. We know it isnt gallstones again but there is a family history of colon cancer. Fingers crossed this is just from my increased protein without properly increasing my fiber too. My success is that I am continuing to get my work outs.

    Weight -/+ this month: almost 5lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Biggest struggle is trying to not be bored with eating the same food everyday. I feel like I need more variety. I mean, I like eggs, but dang, that's seriously a lot of eggs. I miss fruit.
    Also, still trying to not snack when I get home from work.
    On the other hand, I feel good. Less tired, less muddled.
    Oh, and I've started working out again. :smiley:

    Weight -/+ this week: -3.8 lbs
    Weight -/+ this month: -5 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: I have been stuck in the 180's lb range for 10 weeks. Between holidays, anniversary, and birthdays, I was bombarded by temptation. And while I'm proud I slowly lost during the holidays or maintained within 2 lbs of my weight, I got frustrated by my lack of progress.

    This last weigh in I got under 180. This week I felt more dedicated and serious again. Like, okay holidays are over, back to no slacking. And it payed off. I hope the rest of the month goes as well!

    Had a few days that I had to leave again as soon as I came home and found that there really is not a "good" fast food option to fall back on when trying to loose weight and not having time to grab what is at the house. Any ideas/suggestions?

    Successes/struggles this week: this was my first week back to work after 12-week maternity leave with my little girl, so it's been stressful. Before that would have been an excuse for me to eat way too much, but I just clung to my daily calorie limit and lo and behold, the weight came off.

First party did well though maybe a bit too many carbs. 2nd party most of the food was leftovers from night before. Didn't want to eat that so instead ate lots of chips and dip etc. 3rd party just went for it. Today I am back. Oh, and during the week I had weight myself and was 255.6.
