    actually so disappointed in myself but need some motivation guys to make me believe I can to it :)

    you CAN do it. I really find that alcohol mucks things up as it's so high in calories. It sounds as though you are doing all the right things, keep going and the results will follow.

    You are in this for the long haul so you are actually doing OK. Remember 'its a marathon not a sprint' and you are on track! We are also learning so much about ourselves, and we are all bound to have our ups and downs. So long as we get back up from our downs, we will make it :)

    Week 4 already?!?!?!?

    Week 4-
    Starting weight: 253.7
    Goal weight: 199.9
    Current weight: 245.8

    Total weight lost: +4.2/7.9
    This week's successes: I ate well and was consistent. I want to continue with tracking and drinking water. But the scale went in the wrong direction! I am not fussed. I know that it is not representative of what happened this week. I will continue to eat chicken, eat fruit and veg.
    This week's challenges: Trying to get back into exercise consistently.

    Starting weight: 225
    Goal weight: 180

    Current weight: 219.4
    Weekly weight lost: 1 lbs
    Total weight lost: 5.6 lbs

    This week's successes: Still at it! Mostly on track this week. Focusing on the long term helps me be more patient with myself. My family is being supportive with reminders, suggestions, and praise! It's very sweet.

    This week's challenges: Didn't meal plan the whole week. Resulted in less healthy foods. Still kept within calories (mostly), but could feel the difference. Didn't meet my daily step goal.

    You got this. We are all human and not infallible, give yourself a break acknowledge it and get back on track!

    Wow, I really am enjoying reading all of your successes, struggles, and just journeys in general. It really helps me knowing that you guys are dealing with life and ups and downs and still sticking to it! It really gives me hope that I can do it!

    My weigh-in day isn't until Tuesday, but I thought I would reach out and have you guys send me some positive vibes and thoughts. I have a family birthday party to attend tonight and I am going to do my best not to go overboard with food, ice cream, cake, etc. But I'm eating light this morning so I can at least indulge just a little.

    Wish me luck! ☺

    Good luck! How about taking a low calorie dessert for yourself? Strawberries and low fat whipped cream? I hope they include some fruit at the party.

    Well, it’s time to step up the exercise. I had planned to do this for a few weeks, but this is the push I need. Starting in February, I am returning to the gym! (I’m paying for a membership, I think it’s time to start using it again). My plan is to do the Couch to 5K program for the Treadmill on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will be interesting to see if I can run for 30 minutes by the end of it. (I’ve never been able to run, even in my teens when I weight 120 lbs). When I get into this routine, for a few weeks, I will add back weights on at least one other day of the week (on Thursday, maybe? And maybe one day during the weekend. I have a class on Tuesday nights, so I won’t be able to go to the gym that day until the end of May)

    Good luck completing C25k! You'll feel so accomplished once you're done. Are you going to schedule a 5k after you complete the program? I did C25k on the treadmill. Try not to compare the amount of miles to what others do on the program. When I joined a group on MFP for C25k, I saw many people trying to do 3 miles in 30 minutes and they were completely new to running. To make a long story, many were injured or got frustrated and didn't complete it. You have the right attitude. You want to run for 30 minutes. Good luck again! Make sure you stretch afterwards.

    Remember how bad you felt at weight gain caused by drinking and eating rubbish and use that disappointment to motivate you next time you're tempted
