Working away from home Monday / Tuesday and moving house at the weekend on my own. A perfect opportunity for me to find excuses to be lazy and return to bad habits. This week is going to be a challenge (particularly to avoid alcohol at the end of some very busy days!)
I was from Mansfield before I moved to France0 -

Successes / struggles this week:
Working away from home until 8th August. I find when I am away I can focus, no distractions from my lovely hubby. Although all the English food I don't normally get access too is a big temptation. My August target is only 4 lbs, I am only 8 lbs from my final goal weight so I expect it to be slow
Hi Claire, Can I join your group s'il vous plaît? I live in the US but I speak French and dream of living in France1 -

Successes / struggles this week: I'm really not sure what happened here... I was under my calorie deficit goal all week and was shocked when I stepped on the scale this morning... I had expected some loss
1 -
Stepped on the scale this morning and went up 3 lbs
doesn't bother me that much tho 
after two weeks of vacation and a week of binge I've seen it coming 1 -
Resumed my workout routine on August 1 , this week cardio *3, hiit *1, lifting *1, bumped up cardio a little bit mostly for keeping up the morale. Will focus more on strength and ease into hiit next week. Also need to work on my sleep and keep the binging monster in check1

Successes / struggles this week: I have been fasting since Thursday at 7:30 pm (8/3). I may end my fast tonight but I don't feel as clean and energized as I normally do after a 3 day fast so I may continue for another day. I also started a new work out routine. But I never got my monthly this last month so not sure if it's the meds I'm on (they can do that or what)
I do except at least half of my loss to come back on because of weighing-in while fasting.3 -

Successes / struggles this week: Almost hit my goal in a single week! I've actually been annoyed that I'm stuck at 226 for 3 days in a row. Again, the real trick is going to be hitting my goal before August 17th, and then just not losing all that progress during vacation or the following weekend!
