My Libra app is showing a downward trend for the first time since the Holidays! Yay!

    Sorry I'm posting my update a little late this week, my schedule has been super hectic!

    Named: April
    Age: 51
    Height: 5'10"

    Start Weight (February 1): 317 lbs
    Goal Weight (end of Feb): 307 lbs

    Feb 27th:

    Weight -/+ this week: -2 lbs
    Weight -/+ this month: -8 lbs

    Successes / struggles this week:

    Successes: I'm actually exercising! I've started walking again, which is one of my favorite exercises. I can't go very fast, or for very long due to bad knee joints, but I'm moving and exercising! Lost 2 pounds this week!

    Struggles: After reading a fellow diet friend's status about her scaling giving her conflicting readings, when she weighed herself several times in a row, I decided to test my scale. Low and behold, mine gave me inconsistent readings as well when I weighed myself 3 times in a row. After replacing the battery my scale now gives me the same reading every time. Unfortunately that means I haven't lost as much weight as I thought. At least I know my beginning weight was accurate, since it was done on my doctor's scale. My weigh-in info has been corrected.

    Finally got the scale to go down again. Last 3 weeks were 0 loss or light gain for muscle. Although I did loose 1.5
    inches on the waist and another notch on my belt last week, it was nice to see the scale go down this week.

    My success this week was a moment of realisation - hence joining this challenge. My struggle is Aunty Flo visiting - I crave chocolate at this time!

    Success - I ate well all week and exercised for 20 minutes on 3 days.

    Struggle - I've eaten chocolate almost everyday! I also lost my routines on the weekend and yesterday indulged in a Sunday lamb roast (with gravy and potatoes) and a beer (such a hot day).

    Log it, learn from it, move on... It's a new week!!

    Successes / struggles this week:
    I realised that what I thought I knew about weight loss was not really working for me any more and the loss I was experiencing was not enough for me to reach my goal. So, I joined a 30 day program that is working for me! It has totally changed the way I think, but it all started with this challenge, right here. I'm eating well and exercising daily and I look forward to hitting my goal next week!!

Back on track during the work week!

    Hi sorry missed a week
    2/6 132
    2/13 133
    2/20 129.8

    Did a 3 day refresh shakes, fruit. Vegetables, and 2 healthy fats. Lost 4.2 pounds but gained 1 pound back by Monday. Glad to be eating more food and protein. Hoping to see the scale stay in the 120's but expect I am not done going up and down. Worked my tail off today.

    Successes/Struggles this week: Successes-I knew last week was too good to be true. I was hoping to only be up 1 lb at max but oh well. Lot's of factors this week. Wasn't eating very well and kind of slipped back into old habbits. At least I hit my goal number of times I want to go to the gym per week. Still possible to reach my goal for the month so I'm still shooting for that.
