My week 1...
Starting weight: 168
Goal weight: 135 (5'1" and about to be 30!)
Current weight: 166.5
Lost this week: 1.5
Total weight lost: 1.5
This week's successes: Made a better choice for my calorie budget. Focusing on quality of nutrition and macros instead of just # of calories fitting.
This week's challenges: No groceries in the house, stressful life events coming up so I'm trying not to revert to eating to soothe myself, rather than eat to prepare myself and stay healthy. The cold weather has finally hit after what was a mild winter so far. Getting out and active at -20C is not appealing!! (At least we haven't had more than a day below -25C, yet.)11 -

Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs
Goal weight: 186 lbs
Current weight: 224 lbs
Week weight loss: -3lbs
Total weight lost:7lbs
This week's successes: 3lbs lost despite no exercise. Bang on target.
This week's challenges: See above. A real conundrum, because when I've exercised and counted calories previously the weight has stayed the same or trickled down, but my measurements have reduced. Yet this week, after a few night shifts and most days a little over the calorie limit the weight plummets. Is it water loss or metabolism through nights? Have I been exercising and reducing calories too much previously so body goes into starvation mode? I have a week of lates and nights coming up so will experiment with just two days exercise, and the Healthy Extra principles (milk, bread, cheese) of SW and see where that takes me10 -

Current weight: 214.6lbs
Total weight lost: This is my first day on this challenge
This week's successes: eating healthy all week and somehow managed to get to the gym 2 times when i have a baby/work full time/college full time studying fitness health and nutrition
This week's challenges: I have a big assessment week so fitting the gym in and studying may conflict.
Week 2
Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 208.2lbs
Total weight lost: 6.4lbs
This week's successes: I lost 6.3lbs this week im so happy weighs the same as a 1 metre tall baby kangaroo. Target was 2lbs a week so im happy
This week's challenges: my son was at grannys this weekend so we had a wee drink so need to go ti the gym more than my usual twice a week this week and stick to diet religiously to hit 2lbs target
Week 3
Starting weight: 214.6 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 210.2lbs
Weight Lost this week: 2lbs GAIN
Total weight lost: 4.4lbs
This week's successes: I went to the gym twice this week for the full 1 hour session each time and I have written up an exercise plan with beginners FITT principles in place, Target was 2lbs a week so I'm happy because in total my goal by this week was to be 4lbs in total loss so I'm on target and will not let this week get to me - I'm also upping my gym days to 3 times per week so I'm getting the weekly recommended cardio and Resistance training per week
This week's challenges: I'm not drinking any alcohol this weekend as (1) I have my son and (2) I did enough of that last weekend with my son being at granny's that's what definitely through me off as didn't eat/drink clean 2/3 days. Its also going to be hard upping my gym to one more day as with work and college and the gym so far I'm missing my son so so much but I'm doing this for him. Also finding time to meal prep so to not spend on quick healthy expensive things when I can do that at home.
Week 4
Starting weight: 214.5 lbs
Goal weight: 155lbs
Current weight: 208.7lbs
Weight Lost this week: 1.5lbs loss
Total weight lost: 5.9lbs
This week's successes: by this week I should be at 6lbs total loss and 0.1 away which doesn't bother me as been at the gym 3 days this week - tried new foods - upped my protein a little and know what I am doing in the gym more now rather than just going in and going to any piece of equipment - A loss is a loss at the end of the day and my gain would be in muscle as doing a lot of strength training on my arm so I have a little muscle to be able to burn fat more efficiently there.
This week's challenges: as I was a tinny bit off target I will not have my Friday glass of prosecco when son is sleeping lol - my niece, her boyfriend and daughter are wanting me and son to go for dinner, its not the food I will struggle with that's not an issue just being the only sober 1 I don't really like drinking its just drunk people especially loved ones are the most annoying ha-ha. Need to stretch out my gym sessions a little don't feel as sore as I should.

I love reading everyone's posts! I've also had a "Super Bowl weekend setback" of junk food and nonsense. But here we are to support one another... dust ourselves off... and get back on track.
