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.
I guess I did mine on the 20th so I'm updating. Back at 166 today so monthly loss of 0.5lb. My digestive issues are improving after the liquid diet and I ate normally yesterday and today without issue...I am watching that my macros are more balanced.1 -

Going down very slowly... I weigh every day and fluctuate a lot. At least the weekly trend is slightly down each time
I don't think I'm going to hit my goal as the dreaded TOM bloat is approaching, wish me luck for a big whoosh after

Successes/struggles this week: Successes - I managed to start working out again this week! I am so sore today and I love it haha. Struggles, I rewarded myself with some beer and wings for the football game Sunday and even though I *know* I didn't gain weight from that because I stayed in my calories, i still retained some water weight which can be disheartening lol. I was down to 238.4 last Friday before my "cheat" meal lol. Oh well, slow and steady wins the race i guess, right? I had fun and those wings were amazing; sometimes you need that. 2 -

Weight this week -2

Successes this week - getting (just) back into the overweight range instead of obese! Sticking to calories, not eating all of exercise calories, keeping to exercise regime (1× run, 1 x body attack class, 1 x cycle class 1 x weights and yoga). Struggles - too many calories coming from WINE. I am delighted though, haven't lost weight this successfully in years. New Goal: 1934 -

Successes/struggles this week: Boredom has increased. This food is boring. I don't even know why I feel like that since I used to eat oatmeal almost every day for years and wasn't bored. Idk it's all in my head maybe. Only one week left!0 -
I wish I saw this post when it started

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?
McDonalds: The Artisan Grilled Chicken is only 390 calories. Get that and a water or a black coffee. I do that when I'm out with my 8 year old daughter when she's craving a happy meal.
A cheeseburger happy meal is only 500 calories if you have it with a water, mini-kids fries and apple slices.

Successes/struggles this week: Since I won't be around tomorrow doing my final January weigh in now. My success is that I lost this month. I bounced around a bit but ended up averaging .5lb per week which is my normal goal, even though I was hoping to drop a bit more with my new work out routine.
I really hope we do this again for February.

Successes/struggles this week: Food was just easy for me this week. Not sure why, but I just wasn't tempted like I usually am. Even when I snuck out to buy myself lunch one day, all on my own, I searched out a healthy place and choose a brown rice and veggie bowl. Now I just need to move my *kitten* more. I didn't make my goal, but I lost 10 lbs and I'm SUPER happy!4 -
I started on the 9th and I am down 2 lbs. Trying for 1lb per week but it has been really tough giving up the snacking. Will do better next month!
