    Successes / struggles this week: Went on vacation for a week so I'm not really surprised by the weight gain. I'm actually happy that it was only 3lbs and I attribute that to staying active and still logging my food (even when I really didn't want to...darn you deep fried oreos!). I'm going to really work hard these last three weigh-ins to reach my goal (or at least get close).

    Successes / struggles this week: I have continued to stay really focused and have been doing great on food. I didn't workout as much this week as I would have liked but I had a few engagements that didn't allow me to do my workouts (I workout after work, I'm just NOT a morning person). I will do better with it this week. One little success was that I did a very hard cardio circuit workout with weights on Saturday that blew me up, but I did a good stretch afterwards and to my amazement I didn't have much soreness the next day. I can tell I am already getting stronger just over the past few weeks.

    Weight -/+ this month: 3

    Successes / struggles this week: /
    Week started great, first few days I eliminated snacking which is a big game changer for me. End of the week went into opposite direction, but all in all I am happy with it. Scale says 3 lbs down, but I think it's more the fact that my start weight was probably water weight/days of the month then real weight.

    I had ankle surgery June 1st, I swore I would never weigh more than 250 lbs. When I took the cast off I tipped the scale at 258.5 lbs. I started counting calories again and I've lost 8 lbs. in June. It's aggressive but I'm committed become active again and lose another 10 pounds this month.

    My end goal is 200 lbs (then keep it off) but it can't happen overnight. My clothes already fit me better and I can't wait to feel comfortable in the next size. By the way, does anyone know how to update your post without hitting the quote tab?

    Successes / struggles this week: Surgery in 6 1/2 weeks. I have to stay focused on the goal (lose 10% of body weight by 8/25) so that i don't have to worry about weight post surgery. For the next 10 weeks i am alcohol free and somewhat fasting since i have to get physical to get 'clearance' for surgery. i need to stay active (within reason) and drink lots of water. much harder to lose when we get older.

    Challenge start weight: 126.5 lbs (30 June)
    Challenge goal weight: 122 lbs (31 July)
    Ending goal weight: 119 lbs

    Weigh-ins:
    30 June 126.5
    6 July 125.1
    11 July: 124.1

    +/- this week: -1.0
    +/- this month: -2.4

    Successes: Home renovations and picking décor kept us not eating out and not snacking but yet not feeling like we worked hard enough for a lot of beer. Finally strung two weekends together in a row where I did not blow my progress. Being able to focus on loosing more weight and not working back to where I was on Thursday is refreshing!

    Struggles: Family arrives tomorrow for a week's stay. I am not able to log or look like I am watching my weight around them. Going to try to rely on the portion sizes and diet choices I have gotten used to seeing on my plate lately without access to a food scale or control over what goes into the recipes.

    Weight -/+ this month: +0.2lb

    Successes / struggles this week: Not getting activity has really had a massive impact on my life. I bounced up to 229 at the beginning of July, because I didn't eat as healthy as I should have, and didn't control my portions. Ever so grateful to have my medical restrictions lifted so I can at least walk 30 mins. 5x a week, if nothing else.

    This is all on me, I hold myself accountable, but also am motivated and encouraged to see a decent loss after only one week of clean eating. Today's breakfast was an apple-blackberry smoothie. Lunch is portioned cheese and nuts: filling and healthy oils and protein.
